【解析】

约翰十二岁了，他得了重感冒，白天和黑夜都咳嗽。他去看医生，医生给他吃了止咳药，这篇文章是医生给的药物说明。

1.考查细节理解。原文第一段“约翰十二岁”说明对应表格年龄“8~13”这一行，对应的药量是“1 teaspoonful”（1勺），原文“Take it three times each day before meals.”（每天饭前吃，一天服用三次）说明约翰应该每天吃3勺，故选B。

2.考查细节理解。原文“Put it in a cold place.”（放在阴凉的地方）说明药物应保存在冰箱，不能放在热水或阳光下，故选A。

3.考查细节理解。原文“Shake it well before use.”（使用前摇匀）说明约翰在吃药之前应该摇匀药，说明中并没有说吃药前不吃东西、做些运动或是喝一杯茶，故选A。

4.考查细节理解。原文“Not right for children below the age of three.”（不适合三岁以下的孩子）说明当孩子两岁时，他们不能吃这种药，故选C。

5.考查细节理解。原文“Use it before December 1st 2018.”（在2018年12月1日之前使用它）说明2018年12月1日之后药物就过期了，因此约翰将在2018年12月1日之后停止使用服药，故选B。
