答案解析

由题干中的chocolate oranges at supermarket checkouts定位到文章第五段最后一句：His attitude to state intervention has looked confused ever since his bizarre 2006 lament(叹息)that chocolate oranges placed seductively at supermarket checkouts fueled obesity．
事实细节题。定位句指出，卡梅伦先生在2006年非常奇怪地叹息道，极具诱惑性地摆放在超市收银台上的桔子巧克力加剧了肥胖，由此可知，卡梅伦认为超市收银台上的桔子巧克力让更多的英国人变胖，故答案为C。
A.“它们引起了众多争议”，原文并未提及这一点，可以排除；B.“它们吸引了许多烟民”，原文是指桔子巧克力的摆放非常吸引人，但并未指出吸引了许多烟民，故B.与原文表述不符，可以排除；D.“它们缺失部分原料”，在定位句的前一句提到了missing ingredient，但是指卡梅伦先生和公共卫生方面欠缺的是意志力，和桔子巧克力无关，故D.可以排除。

1 Questions are based on the following passage.
What a waste of money! In return for an average of ~44,000 of debt, students get an average of only 14 hours of lecture and tutorial time a week in Britain. Annual fees have risen from ￡1,000 to ￡9,000 in the last decade, but contact time at university has barely risen at all. And graduating doesn't even provide any guarantee of a decent job : six in ten graduates today are in non-graduate jobs.
No wonder it has become fashionable to denounce many universities as little more than elaborate con-tricks (骗术). There's a lot for students to complain about: the repayment threshold for paying back loans will be frozen for five years, meaning that lower-paid graduates have to start repaying their loans; and maintenance grants have been replaced by loans, meaning that students from poorer backgrounds face higher debt than those with wealthier parents.
Yet it still pays to go to university. If going to university doesn't work out, students pay very little--if any--of their tuition fees back: you only start repaying when you are earning ￡21,000 a year.
Almost half of graduates--those who go on to earn less--will have a portion of their debt written off.
It's not just the lectures and tutorials that are important. Education is the sum of what students teach each other in between lectures and seminars. Students do not merely benefit while at university; studies show- they go on to be healthier and happier than non-graduates, and also far more likely to vote.
Whatever your talents, it is extraordinarily difficult to get a leading job in most fields without having been to university. Recruiters circle elite universities like vultures (兀鹰). Many top firms will not even look at applications from those who lack a 2.1, i. e., an upper-second class degree, from an elite university. Students at university also meet those likely to be in leading jobs in the future, forming contacts for life. This might not be right, but school-leavers who fail to acknowledge as much risk making the wrong decision about going to university.
Perhaps the reason why so many universities offer their students so little is they know studying at a top university remains a brilliant investment even if you don't learn anything. Studying at university will only become less attractive if employers shift their focus away from where someone went to university--and there is no sign of that happening anytime soon. School-leavers may moan, but they have little choice but to embrace university and the student debt that comes with it.
