The latest numbers are astonishing, but not surprising. Sales of soda fell 3 %【C3】______volume in 2013 , to the lowest levels since 1995 , 【C4】______to a report from Beverage Digest issued on Monday. That would be a big【C5】______no matter what, and it’ s more than double 2012 ’ s decline. People are moving away from soda at a(n)【C6】______rate.

Of course that’ s not easy for companies that are named for those very brands, so they’re still crazily trying to【C9】______how to at least stop the losses, even as they wisely continue to invest in【C10】______like energy drinks, sports drinks, and flavored water.

Just yesterday, a study was released indicating that consumption of diet soda can【C15】______the risk of cardiovascular disease in older women.
But health concerns are not the only problem. If they were, it would seem【C16】______that energy drinks, sports beverages, coffee-based beverages, and flavored waters would be taking up the slack. But they are. That’ s a further【C17】______that what’ s doing soda in is the increase of【C18】______in the beverage aisle, especially those【C19】______at young people, a growing number of whom think of Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, and Pepsi—Beyond notwithstanding—【C20】______the stuff their grandparents drank in the old days.

选项
A、for
B、by
C、as
D、to
答案
C
解析
本题考查上下文语义。本句意为“越来越多的年轻人认为,可口可乐、胡椒博士、雪碧和百事可乐……是他们的祖父母在很久以前喝的东西”,think of…as表示“把……当作”,因此C.as为正确答案。其他选项均与题意不符。
