Question

【题目】Soda is refreshing and delicious, but it is not part of a healthy, balanced diet. Most sodas are packed with sugar. In fact, a can of soda can be hiding up to 10 teaspoons of sugar! The sugar does make soft drinks delicious, but definitely not nutritious. Too much sugar in a person’s diet can lead to diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, and tooth problems. One of the biggest sugary soda problems is that drinking much can lead to weight gain and even obesity.

There are diet options available for almost every kind of pop (汽水), which means that you don’t have to drink all that sugar in order to enjoy a can of soda. Many studies have been done on whether or not aspartame (甜味剂), the sugar substitute in diet soda, is bad for you. Up to now, there are still conflicting opinions on this issue. The European Food Safety Authority recently concluded that aspartame is safe for most people, even in fairly large amounts. Aspartame still might not be good for you, though. Studies have shown that people who drink diet sodas may actually gain more weight than those who drink regular soda, perhaps because, strangely enough, drinks loaded with fake sugar may actually make you want to eat more.

Maybe you’ve decided it’s time to cut down on your soda drinking, but what should you drink instead? Water is absolutely the healthiest thing that you can drink. Your body needs water to stay hydrated (水合物) and function properly, and water contains no calories or fat. Drinking fruit juice occasionally is not a bad thing, but you should be careful what juice and how much juice you’re drinking. Fruit juices can contain almost as much sugar as pop!

As with most things to do with your health, moderation is really at the base of any healthy diet. You can totally drink soda, even the sugary kind just, make sure you’re not drinking too much!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】本文属于健康类文章。苏打是提神可口的，但它不属于健康均衡饮食。大多数汽水都含糖。糖饮用过多会导致糖尿病或过度肥胖。所以最好的办法是多喝水，水绝对是最健康的饮料。

【1】 C

推理判断题。第二段讲述现在有很多水可供我们饮用。但水中的甜味剂对大多数是安全的，也许对你却是有害的。但喝太多含甜味剂的水可能会增加体重，所以对人体还是有害的。故选C

【2】 B

推理判断题。根据第二段中的最后部分“Aspartame still might not be good for you, though. Studies have shown that people who drink diet sodas may actually gain more weight than those who drink regular soda, perhaps because, strangely enough, drinks loaded with fake sugar may actually make you want to eat more.” 不过阿斯巴甜也许对你不好。研究表明，喝碳酸饮料的人比那些喝普通苏打水的人体重增加更多，也许奇怪的是，含有假糖的饮料实际上会让你想多吃东西。由此可知，他认为这种含有阿斯巴甜的苏打水对人体还是不好的。分析选项可知B项符合题意。

【3】C

推理判断题。根据第3段中的第二句“but what should you drink instead?Water is absolutely the healthiest thing that you can drink. Your body needs water to stay hydrated (水合物) and function properly, and water contains no calories or fat。Drinking fruit juice occasionally is not a bad thing, but you should be careful what juice and how much juice you’re drinking. Fruit juices can contain almost as much sugar as pop!。”水绝对是你能喝的最健康的东西。你的身体需要水来保持水分（水合物）和功能正常，水不含热量或脂肪。可能果汁中含有的糖几乎和汽水一样多！由此可知作者建议我们多喝水，故选C项。
