【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要是關(guān)于藥品的說明。說明中包含了藥品的服用次數(shù)，不同年齡的劑量，服用時間，保存方式以及有效期等。

1.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中John is twelve years old. John 12歲；Take it three times each day…一天三次，以及后面描述8-13歲，一次一勺子，所以John一天吃3勺，故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中最后一段Put it in a cold place.置于低溫處，故選A，放在冰箱里。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文中描述Shake it well before using.服用前要搖晃，故選A

4.判斷推理題。Not fit for children below the age of three or old persons with heart trouble.不適合3歲以下兒童或有心臟病的老人，故選C。

5.判斷推理題。文中最后一句Use it before December 1^st, 2006.在2006年12月1日前服用。所以該日期后不能再服用，故選A，扔掉。

考點：日常生活類短文閱讀。
