题目解答

答案

根据文章，Class I召回的定义是：“当食品可能引发健康问题或死亡时”（there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death）。选项A未提及顾客投诉，C未突出“可能致死”，D与时间无关，均不符合。只有B准确对应文意。 答案：B. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的理解。解题思路是在文章中找到关于Class I recalls（一级召回）发布条件的描述，然后将各选项与原文描述进行对比分析。

  • 首先，在文章中定位到关键信息“Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.”，明确了一级召回的发布条件是食品有合理可能性导致健康问题或死亡。
  • 接着分析选项：
    • 选项A：文章中未提及当有太多顾客投诉时会发布一级召回，所以A选项不符合文意。
    • 选项B：“When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.”与原文中“there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death”意思一致，准确对应了一级召回的发布条件，所以B选项正确。
    • 选项C：虽然产品质量低于标准可能会引发召回，但原文强调的是食品可能导致健康问题或死亡这一关键条件，C选项未突出这一点，所以C选项不符合文意。
    • 选项D：文章中没有提到食品问题持续五年与一级召回发布的关系，所以D选项不符合文意。
