Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。

According to a new report, Americans drink more soda (蘇打) than ever before. Do your parents ever try to limit how much soda you drink? Do they say drinking too much isn’t good for you?

Right now, in New York, Mayor (市長) Michael Bloomberg also limits how much soda you can have — and it is not only for you but also for adults! Starting in March, 2013, places like movie theaters, restaurants and sports centers, can’t sell sodas larger than 473 ml. Sellers who break the ban (禁令) will face a $200 fine. But you can still get whatever size you want at supermarkets.

Why is drinking too much soda unhealthy for you? A study shows that for every soda a child drinks every day, their obesity (肥胖) risk appears to jump 60%. In New York, more than half of adults and nearly 40% of children are overweight. Obesity kills thousands of New Yorkers every year and the city spends as much as $4 billion a year on medical care for overweight and obese people.

New York has a population of about 8 million. Of course, it’s impossible for all New Yorkers to agree on the ban. There are different opinions. Keith Aiken believes the ban can help fight teen’s obesity. “Clearly, soda causes teens obesity. We have to do something.” he says. Chuck Kallenbach doesn’t think the ban can work. He says, “I can’t buy a large cup of soda, but I can buy two small cups.” Michael Tansini says, “Whatever size cup I want is my own business. No one should limit it!”

【解析】短文大意：每天喝一定量的蘇打水會增加患肥胖癥的風險，給人的健康造成非常大的危害。每年數(shù)以千計的紐約人死于肥胖癥，紐約市自2013年起，也發(fā)布了有關(guān)禁令，在電影院、餐館、運動中心等場所，賣蘇打水必須小于473毫升。賣家違反禁令將面臨200美元罰款。當然有關(guān)這個禁令，也有人持不同的觀點。

【1】C

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子Keith Aiken believes the ban can help fight teen’s obesity. “Clearly, soda causes teens obesity. We have to do something.”可知，短文主要是寫給青少年的。答案為C。

【2】D

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“But you can still get whatever size you want at supermarkets.”可知，在超市購買蘇打水量是不受限制的，故答案為D。

【3】A

細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)短文最后的句子Chuck Kallenbach doesn’t think the ban can work. He says, “I can’t buy a large cup of soda, but I can buy two small cups.” Michael Tansini says, “Whatever size cup I want is my own business. No one should limit it!”可知，Chuck Kallenbach 和 Michael Tansini對禁令表示反對，故答案為A。

【4】D

細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“Obesity kills thousands of New Yorkers every year.”可知，肥胖每年殺死成千上萬的紐約人，故答案D正確。

【5】B

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Starting in March, 2013, places like movie theaters, restaurants and sports centers, can’t sell sodas larger than 473 ml. Sellers who break the ban (禁令) will face a $200 fine.可知，電影院、餐館和體育中心，不能賣蘇打水大于473毫升的。既然是禁令，違者肯定要遭到罰款，故答案為B。
