Why do the sales of energy drinks slow down?（ ）
A、Because consumers' awareness has grown.
B、Because it has problematic ingredients.
C、Because it enhances athletic performance.
D、Because consumers buy salad instead.
【正确答案】：A
【题目解析】：听力原文：That seems to be changing lately, though. Sales growth has slowed as awareness of the
fact that drinking vitamin water isn' t the same as eating a salad, has grown. “Sports drinks”
like PepsiCo’ s Gatorade brands and Coca-Colas Powerade line are touted as enhancing athletic
performance, while energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster are sold as just that—energy—
boosters, when all they really do is make you nervous and distracted for a while before the
inevitable crash.本题考查能量饮料销售放缓的原因。原文说随着人们意识到喝维生素水和吃沙拉不一样，销售增长已经放缓。可知A选项因为消费者的意识增强了，符合题意。
