【解析】很多人都喜欢喝功能饮料，因为他们颜色丰富，名字很酷，据说还对健康有益。其实经过研究发现，功能饮料里含有大量的咖啡因，多喝的话对我们的健康是很不好的。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!以及第三段中Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake.可知，人们喜欢功能饮料是因为他们色彩艳丽、名字很酷，据说对健康有益；制造商们说这些饮料可以使你清醒，擅长运动。因此A、C和D都是对的。功能饮料里含有咖啡因不是人们喜欢喝的原因，故应选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第四段中Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks.可知，功能饮料里可能对健康有潜在的危险，所以人们不能喝太多，故应选D。

【3】词义猜测题。根据上文对咖啡因的描述以及下文from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them可知，此处指的是应该劝阻青少年们不喝含有大量咖啡因的饮料。故应选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文第三段的内容可知，广告在人们购买功能饮料的问题上起着重要的作用，故应选A。其他三项不符合文意。

【5】主旨大意题。从全篇文章和第三段But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine in them可知，这篇短文主要告诉我们功能饮料不健康，里面含有很多的咖啡因，故C选项的题目最为合适。
