A.abandonI.essential
B.absorbJ.exchange
C.accidentallyK.hard
D.addictL.harmful
E.alterM.normal
F.completelyN.pursuit
G.consciousO.wonder
H.destroy
1.
答案:
D[解析]本空应填名词。
第1段第3句中作者说自己热衷于可乐和其他软饮料，第5句又说那时候自己不喝可乐一天也过不下去，由这两句可知，作者对可乐非常着迷、上瘾，故答案为D项addict。
2.
M[解析]本空应填形容词。
前面提到作者不喝可乐一天也过不下去，本空所在句又提到，每天差不多要喝完一整瓶1.5升的可乐。
在形容词选项中，能使文意通顺的是M项normal，即每天差不多喝完一整瓶1.5升的可乐是很正常的事。
3.
G[解析]本空应填形容词。
根据下面一句“我开始重新审视我的饮食，包括对我来说必不可少的可乐和汽水”可推测出，随着年龄的增长，作者应该是逐步意识到了健康的重要性，故答案为G项conscious。
4.
L[解析]本空应填形容词。
所填词能与to连用。
后面两句介绍可乐和软饮料对身体的害处，由此可知，作者意识到了可乐对健康是有害的，故答案为L项harmful。
5.
E[解析]本空应填动词。
所填词与affect并列作谓语。
中枢神经系统受到影响，大脑功能也应该会受到一定程度的影响，故应从E项alter和H项destroy中选择，再根据后面的temporarychanges（暂时性的变化）可知，答案为E项alter。
destroy意为“破坏；
毁坏”，这种破坏一般是不可修复的，与temporary相冲突。
6.
O[解析]本空应填动词。
前面讲到了可乐有那么多的危害，本空后面又提到它是一种非常普遍的饮料，由此可推知，此处的疑问句应该表示作者对此不理解，想知道这是什么原因，故答案为O项wonder。
7.
N[解析]本空应填名词。
所填名词能构成in...for结构，故应从J项exchange和N项pursuit中选择，inexchangefor意为“用……交换”，inpursuitfor意为“追求”，能使文意通顺的是N项pursuit，此处意为“追求健康的生活”。
8.
A[解析]本空应填动词。
由前面的quitdrinkingcoke及后面的outofmydiet可知，作者应该是慢慢地放弃了可乐和碳酸饮料，故答案为A项abandon。
9.
F[解析]本空可能填形容词或分词，也可能填副词。
根据本空后面一句中的intherareoccasions...可知，作者喝这些饮料的场合很少了，所以此处应该是说这些饮料几乎完全不在作者的饮食之内了，故答案为F项completely?
10.
K[解析]本空应填形容词。
前面一句提到作者现在觉得可乐很难喝，所以应该是很难理解自己小时候竟然喝了那么多，故答案为K项hard。
