Amid the【B6】______there was always the five-a-day rule to【B7】______back on. But even that is now being sliced, diced and mashed. A long and deliberate process of " de-bittering" has made fruit and veg tastier, but stripped them【B8】______some of their most valuable【B9】______They are still a healthy option, but may be less so than we have been led to believe.

" That is the worst of all worlds,【B19】______healthfulness with sweetness—the opposite of what is going on in other fruit and veg.

【B8】

选项 A、to
B、of
C、with
D、on

答案B

解析 本题考查动词与介词的搭配。尽管可以依靠five-a-day rule,但也并非尽善尽美,de-bittering这一过程使得水果和蔬菜更美味,但是也有不好的结果。选项[A][C][D]均不与strip搭配,故排除。[B]of与strip搭配,表示“去除”,故选项[B]为正确答案。
