“DRINK your milk. It’s good for you!” You’ve probably heard that many times, and it’s true. Milk contains calcium（钙）, which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The US government even _______ milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal.

However, a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program. The US ‘Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)’ says, “Milk is high in sugar, fat and animal protein,” all of which are not so _______ to health. There are better ways to get calcium, such as eating beans and drinking orange juice and soymilk. “One of the only _______ people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs.

Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that have _______ to do with your bone strength, such as genes（基因）, how much vitamin D you take in, and time, getting an hour’s exercise every day.

Some people disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans, an American Dietitian（营养学家）, says “I don’t think it’s _______ if we take away this drink from the lunch line. Children enjoy it very much, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient（营养的）needs for the day.”

The US government is now considering PCRM’s idea, but _______ may be a long way off. A professor at New York University puts it best: “Milk certainly has nutrients. Other food has the same nutrients. It’s just food. As with other food, too much might be a problem.”

【解析】

文章讲述了美国的传统认为牛奶对于补钙是非常重要的营养品。然而一些专家却呼吁少喝牛奶，因为牛奶有很多的糖和蛋白质，他们认为可以通过吃别的更加健康的食物来给孩子们补钙，文章也给出了一些相反的观点，总之，任何东西吃的太多都是不好的。

【1】句意：美国政府甚至要求牛奶作为国家学校午餐计划的一部分。

requires要求；refuses拒绝；drinks喝；stops阻止，根据后面句子“saying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal. ”“说学生每餐要喝一杯无脂或低脂牛奶”，前面应该是美国政府要求学生午餐时间喝一杯牛奶，故选A。

【2】句意：“牛奶含有很高的糖、脂肪和动物蛋白”，所有这些对健康都没有多大帮助。

harmful有害的；beautiful漂亮的；helpful有用的；awful可怕的，根据前面句子“The US ‘Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)’ says, “Milk is high in sugar, fat and animal protein,”“牛奶中含有大量的糖、脂肪和动物蛋白”，可知PCRM认为牛奶中所含的物质会对健康产生负面影响，对我们的健康没有用，故选C。

【3】句意：人们喜欢牛奶的唯一原因就是它能帮助骨骼强壮。

signals信号；tasks任务；manner礼貌；reasons原因，根据后面句子“people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones”“人们喜欢牛奶是因为它有助于强健骨骼”，应该是一个主要原因，故选D。

【4】句意：但是还有其它和你的骨骼强度有关的东西。

anything任何事情，用于否定句或疑问句；something 某事； everything 所有事；nothing没有，根据“Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that have ___4___ to do with your bone strength, such as genes…”“当然，钙对健康的骨骼和牙齿很重要，但还有其他与骨骼强度有关的事情”，故选B。

【5】句意：我认为这是不负责任的，如果我们把这杯饮料从午餐上拿走。

responsible负责的；important重要的；unhealthy不健康的；useless无用的，根据后面句子“we take away this drink from the lunch line. Children enjoy it very much, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient（营养的）needs for the day.” “我们把这杯饮料从午餐线上拿走了。孩子们非常喜欢它，特别是那些无法满足一天所需营养的人。”可知认为这样做是不负责任的，故选A。

【6】句意：美国政府现在正在考虑PCRM的想法，但要做出决定可能还有很长的路要走。

a situation一种情况；a decision一个决定；an invention一个发明；an occupation一个职业，根据“The US government is now considering PCRM’s idea, but…”“美国政府正在考虑PCRM的想法，但…”，可知要做决定需要很长的路要走，故选B。

解答完形填空首先要通读全文，掌握大意。结合选项初步弄清短文写了些什么内容。在理解全文意思的基础上，结合文章内容对空缺句子作合乎逻辑的推理。必须弄清空缺词句的确切含义，空缺词句与其前后句的意义衔接必须自然、合理，最后根据语境，结合选项，选出正确答案。如，第1小题，根据后面句子“saying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal. ”“说学生每餐要喝一杯无脂或低脂牛奶，前面应该是美国政府要求学生午餐时间喝一杯牛奶”，故选A。
