Question

【題目】 Do your parents ever try to limit how much soda（蘇打）you drink? They say drinking too much isn’t good for you, right? Now, in New York, Mayor 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.

Mayor Bloomberg says it will help people keep healthy. In New York, more than half of adults and nearly 40% of the children are overweight or obese（肥胖的）. 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（意見(jiàn)）. Keith Aiken believes the ban can help fight teen obesity. “Clearly, soda causes teen 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!”

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Do your parents ever try to limit how much soda（蘇打）you drink? ” 你的父母曾經(jīng)試圖限制你喝多少碳酸飲料嗎？可知主要是寫(xiě)給青少年人的，故答案選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“places like movie theaters, restaurants and sports centers, can’t sell sodas larger than 473 ml. ……But you can still get whatever size you want at supermarkets. ”可知，像電影院、餐館和體育中心，不能賣(mài)大于473毫升的碳酸飲料，可知，在超市里可以買(mǎi)到超過(guò)473毫升的碳酸飲料，故答案選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“ 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!” Chuck Kallenbach認(rèn)為這一禁令不會(huì)奏效。他說(shuō):“我買(mǎi)不到一大杯汽水，但我可以買(mǎi)兩小杯�！� Michael Tansini說(shuō):“我想要多大的杯子都是我自己的事。沒(méi)有人應(yīng)該限制它! ” 可知．反對(duì)禁令的是Chuck Kallenbach和Michael Tansini，故答案選C。

【4】理解判斷題。根據(jù)“Obesity kills thousands of New Yorkers every year”每年有成千上萬(wàn)的紐約人死于肥胖，可知D選項(xiàng)符合文意，故答案選D。
