    What worries pediatricians like Lipshultz is the fact that energy drinks, which are【C3】______as dietary supplements, are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA).

A)arising B)aware C)classified D)consumed
E)domestic F)fortunately G)hopefully H)households
I)ignorant J)issue K)limits L)marketed
M)range N)related O)topic [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 N
解析 空格前为名词events，后为介词to，故空格处应填入分词。根据对文章的理解得知“美国毒物控制中心未专门针对与功能饮料有关的不良反应进行过跟踪调查”。relate to“涉及，有关”符合句意。所以此空应填入N)related。
