选项 A.healthy
B.acceptable
C.harmful
D.questionable

答案 B

解析观点题。根据Nestle，drinking cola，occasionally等关键词定位到第三段首句：Ms Nesde says she would have no complaint with sweet fizzy drinks if they were sipped occasionally,asa treat.其中，fizzy drinks指“碳酸饮料”，等于题干cola“可乐”；sipped“小口喝”=drink-ing“喝”；occasionally为原词复现。本题考查人物观点，要注意该人物所说的话，该题答案句为：Ms Nestle says she would have no complaint...．have no complaint“不抱怨”=[B]acceptable“可接受的”。选项[A]healthy“健康的”；[C]harmful“有害的”；[D]questionable“有问题的”；这三项均无法与have no complaint同义替换。故本题答案为[B]。
