【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。水是細(xì)胞健康的基本需求。保持充足水分會(huì)給你的健康帶來好處。文章敘述了水會(huì)給人的健康帶來的好處。

【1】上文提示“水是細(xì)胞健康的基本需求。”再根據(jù)下文提示“所以，給自己倒一大玻璃杯水，坐下來，可以看到保持充足水分會(huì)給你的健康帶來好處。”承接上下文，C項(xiàng)It can have a magic power to your mind and body（它可以給你的思想和身體帶來神奇的力量）切題。該項(xiàng)中的it指上文的water；該項(xiàng)通過so和下文構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。故選C。

【2】下文提示“當(dāng)你脫水的時(shí)候，細(xì)胞的功能就不太好了而且流動(dòng)也不會(huì)很順利，影響你的身體和精神表現(xiàn)，讓你感覺遲鈍”。承接下文，E項(xiàng)Water helps keep up a steady flow of nutrients into your cells（水有助于保持源源不斷的營(yíng)養(yǎng)物質(zhì)進(jìn)入你的細(xì)胞）切題。故選E。

【3】上文提示“當(dāng)人們每天增加1到3個(gè)8盎司的水（在他們已經(jīng)喝了4杯的時(shí)候），他們吃得更少。”承接上文，G項(xiàng)The research is less clear on whether this pattern holds true for adults（研究還不太清楚這種模式是否適用于成人）切題。該項(xiàng)中的this pattern指上文內(nèi)容。故選G。

【4】上文提示“研究一直發(fā)現(xiàn)，孩子喝完水后，記憶力和注意力都得到了改善。”承接上文，D項(xiàng)Their food intake dropped by as much as 205 calories a day（他們的食物攝入量每天減少了205卡路里）切題。故選D。

【5】此空是小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)上文中的小標(biāo)題，可知應(yīng)在A/B中選擇。根據(jù)下文提示“當(dāng)來自康涅狄格大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)小型研究中，通過汗液女性的體重僅減少了1.36%（并且沒有喝足夠的水來替代它），她們的情緒變?cè)懔�，她們更容易感到頭痛和疲憊。”由此可知，A項(xiàng)You’ll be in higher spirits（你會(huì)情緒高漲）切題。故選A。
