For many people, working out and alcohol are closely linked. Sports teams and training partners celebrate victories, bemoan defeats or mark the end of training sessions with a beer or three. Beer, in fact, provides a substantial portion of some exercisers' fluid intake after workouts. But whether exercise encourages people to drink and, likewise, whether drinking encourages people to exercise has been in dispute. Now new studies suggest that exercise may well influence when and how much people drink. Drinking may even affect whether people exercise, and, the findings suggest, the interplay between exercise and alcohol could be a good thing. Past studies have shown that people who exercise tend numerically also to be people who drink, and vice versa. But most of these previous studies had limitations. They relied, for instance, on people's ability to recall their exercise and drinking habits over the course of, say, the past year, which can be notoriously unreliable. They also rarely took into account participants' ages and gender, which affect how much people exercise and drink. What is the relationship between exercise and alcohol from the new studies? A. The interaction between exercise and alcohol are in dispute.B. Exercise may impact on how long and when people drink.C. The interaction between exercise and alcohol might be good.

题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章中关于运动和酒精关系的新研究发现的理解。解题思路是先明确题目要求找出新研究中运动和酒精的关系，然后仔细阅读文章，提取新研究的相关信息，最后将各选项与文章内容进行逐一比对分析。
- 提取新研究信息：
- 文章提到“Now new studies suggest that exercise may well influence when and how much people drink. Drinking may even affect whether people exercise, and, the findings suggest, the interplay between exercise and alcohol could be a good thing.”，即新研究表明运动可能影响人们喝酒的时间和量，饮酒甚至可能影响人们是否运动，且运动和酒精的相互作用可能是有益的。
- 分析选项：
- 选项A：“The interaction between exercise and alcohol are in dispute.”，文章开头虽提到运动和酒精的关系存在争议，但这是过去的情况，新研究已有明确发现，所以该选项不符合新研究内容，错误。
- 选项B：“Exercise may impact on how long and when people drink.”，文章说的是运动可能影响人们喝酒的时间和量，而不是喝酒的时长，该选项表述不准确，错误。
- 选项C：“The interaction between exercise and alcohol might be good.”，与文章中“the interplay between exercise and alcohol could be a good thing”表述一致，正确。
