Soft-drink sales have been declining for nine straight years. This is much more than a trend— it’ s a fundamental shift in consumer tastes that【C1】______a major problem for soda makers, no matter how【C2】______their product combination might be.
The latest numbers are astonishing, but not surprising. Sales of soda fell 3%【C3】______volume in 2013, to the lowest levels since 1995,【C4】______to a report from Beverage Digest issued on Monday. That would be a big【C5】______no matter what, and it’s more than double 2012 ’s decline. People are moving away from soda at a(n) 【C6】______rate.
At this point, companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsico must be【C7】______not on what they’re doing to save their flagship brands, but on how well they’re【C8】______those brands’ decline. Of course that’s not easy for companies that are named for those very brands, so they’re still crazily trying to【C9】______how to at least stop the losses, even as they wisely continue to invest in【C10】______like energy drinks, sports drinks, and flavored water.
Pepsico took measures such as trying a new bottle design and signing with Beyonce,【C11】______sales have continued to decrease.
And the hoped-for savior of the business—diet drinks with【C12】______sweeteners—are no help. Up until a few years ago, sales of diet sodas were falling at about the same rate as the sugar-filled ones. Now they’re actually falling fester【C13】______consumers continue to hear about health【C14】______. Just yesterday, a study was released indicating that consumption of diet soda can【C15】______the risk of cardiovascular disease in older women.
But health concerns are not the only problem. If they were, it would seem【C16】______that energy drinks, sports beverages, coffee-based beverages, and flavored waters would be taking up the slack. But they are. That’ s a further【C17】______that what’ s doing soda in is the increase of【C18】______in the beverage aisle, especially those【C19】______at young people, a growing number of whom think of Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, and Pepsi—Beyonce notwithstanding—【C20】______the stuff their grandparents drank in the old days.
【C1】
选项
A、makes
B、poses
C、puts
D、offers
答案
B
解析
此处意为“这个转变对汽水生厂商们——重大的问题”,纵观四个选项,只有pose a problem“提出问题”为常见搭配,指汽水销量下滑的现状给生产商们带来了问题,因此B.poses符合题意。make a problem“制造问题”,与原文不符。put与forward搭配意为“提出”,不能单独与problem搭配,offer不与problem连用。
