【B1】______And if you think you get it only in coffee, tea, coca cola, or in smaller bite of chocolate, you haven’t been paying attention. Food manufacturers recognize a hot market when they see it, and with anywhere from 55% to 90% of the U.

答案
C
解析
根据空格前“We know caffeine could work effectively by controlling neurotransmitters thatwould normally make you sleepy,improving cognitive function and even athletic performanee.(我们知道咖啡因会有效控制通常会使你昏昏欲睡的神经递质,改善认知功能甚至运动性能)”,以及空格后“Exactly what level of caffeine is harmful is not clearly established,but generally more thanfive cups of coffee is too much(究竟什么水平的咖啡因是有害的,没有明确规定,但一般超过5杯咖啡就实在是太多了)”。两者相联系,可知选项C最符合逻辑。
