参考答案
【正确答案:D】
根据题干中的信号词Terence Stephenson定位到第四段第二句:Professor TerenceStephenson… said that the consumption of unhealthy food should be seen to be just as damagingas smoking or excessive drinking(Terence Stephenson认为吃不健康食物的危害应该和吸烟或过度饮酒的危害同等看待)。再根据第一段:Leading doctors… demanding that ministers…introduce cigarette-style warnings to children about the dangers of a poor diet(首席医生们要求政府向儿童发出同“吸烟有害健康”类似的不良饮食危险警告)。可知,Terence Stephenson就是leading doctors中的一员,故D选项为正确答案。
