Many kids don’t drink enough water daily, according to a new study. The study’s lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.

Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a study on the health of children in the United States done each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脫水的). Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.

“These findings highlight (突出) a possible health issue that wasn’t given a lot of attention in the past,” Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health risk, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth.”

The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also suggested that fluids (液體) come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

本文屬于說明文，主要介紹的是現(xiàn)在的孩子水分攝入量遠遠沒有達到所需要的標準。

【1】D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，Erica Kenney的研究原本是想調(diào)查學生在校所喝的含糖飲料的數(shù)量的問題。故選D。

【2】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段前兩句可知，超過一半?yún)⒓诱{(diào)查的孩子都有脫水現(xiàn)象，其中男孩比女孩少喝水的可能性更大。也就是說男孩比女孩更容易脫水。故選B。

【3】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句可知，孩子們除了直接喝水之外，還可以從其他富含水分的食物中攝入水，如celery, melons, tomatoes這些蔬菜和水果。故選C。

【4】D 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句可知，本文主要告訴我們現(xiàn)在的孩子水分攝入嚴重不足，接下來幾段對這一現(xiàn)象展開說明。故選D。
