Question

【題目】The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!

But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡堿)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講的是當(dāng)天氣變熱或者運動之后，人們往往喜歡喝一些能量飲料，但是這些飲料含有大量的咖啡因，對身體是很不健康的，所以作者建議大家要少喝這些飲料。

【1】C細節(jié)理解題。由第二段Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health.大多數(shù)的能量飲料有著誘人的顏色和酷酷的名字。從飲料的標(biāo)簽可由看出這些飲料有益健康。由第三段Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake.制造生說他們的飲料能夠使你更擅長體育而且能使你保持清醒。可知，以上就是大多數(shù)人選擇能量飲料的原因。故此題選C。

【2】D詞義推測題。第搜索四段Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.一瓶能量飲料就能使你緊張，失眠。甚至導(dǎo)致心臟病。由此，可推斷出科學(xué)家說對青少年應(yīng)該是阻止他們喝含有大量咖啡因的飲料。故discouraged的意思應(yīng)是阻止，可替換成stopped。故D正確。

【3】D主旨大意題。這篇文章主要是圍繞能量飲料展開的，講了能量飲料的成分，人們?yōu)槭裁磹酆饶芰匡嬃弦约澳芰匡嬃蠈ι眢w的危害。故D正確。
