问题    I used to go to Starbucks for their coffee, but that’ s changed since I discovered their comforting, tasty teas, which are better than coffee any time. Tea is cool even when it’ s hot. People drink more tea than any other drink in the world, except for water.
   Whether it’ s served hot or cold, natural and flavored teas are drinks that have been consumed for centuries. Everywhere you look, you’ 11 find various kinds of teas—in restaurants, grocery stores, television advertisements, and gift shops.
   Why is there all this excitement about tea? What’ s its attraction? Well, there are many possibilities for why more and more people are drinking tea. One possibility is that people are coming to notice the benefits of drinking tea, particularly green tea. Studies show that drinking four cups of green tea a day can reduce the risk of developing various types of cancers, as well as heart disease. The key to tea’ s effects of cure seems to lie in chemicals found in tea which prevent a process that leads to the growth of cancers. Green tea may also prevent skin cancer. It has also been linked with helping the body to rid itself of harmful materials, and green tea is thought to possibly protect against colds and Parkinson’s(帕金森) disease.
   Another explanation for why people are drinking more tea may be due to the comforting process of just making a cup of tea. The time it takes to prepare tea leaves in hot water and enjoy its gentle flavor forces drinkers to slow down and relax a while, making it the perfect way to improve a world where people are so crazy about cappuccino, a hot coffee with milk in it.
   So, whether you drink tea, eat it in foods, wear it to smell good, or take it in pills, one thing is certain, the use of tea is more than a trend—it is a habit of our past and if studies prove the benefits of its use, it will undoubtedly be an important element of our future.
The passage does not mention______as a possible benefit of drinking tea.

选项 A、preventing skin cancer
B、helping the body to rid itself of harmful materials
C、curing Parkinson’ s disease
D、reducing the risk of developing cancer

答案C

解析 根据第三段第五句“Studies show that drinking…reduce the risk of developing various types of cancers…”可知,D项正确;根据第三段倒数第二句“Green tea may also prevent skin cancer.”可知,A项正确;根据第三段最后一句“It has also been linked with…”可知,茶还涉及帮助身体摆脱有害物质,绿茶被认为可以预防感冒和帕金森病,所以B项正确,C项“治疗帕金森病”不正确。故选C。
