11、nd uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as its harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along
12、 with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee
13、consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.

16、good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人们对咖啡是否有益于身体健康的几种不同观点。【难句分析】Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.分析：该句为主从复合句。句中 that slows the breakdown of caff
17、eine in the body为 that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词 a certain illness。译文：Hensrud 博士提到了对于患有某种疾病的人，大量饮用咖啡会有危害，(因为)这种病会减缓体内咖啡因的分解。1What is the peoples attitude towards the effects of coffee on health 4according to Paragraph 1?ADisapproving. BTolerant.CDoubtful. DMixed.答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第一段第一句“The effects of coffee cons
18、umption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty.”可知，长期以来，饮用咖啡是否对健康有影响一直是有争议的、不确定的。D 项意为“混合的，混杂的” ，符合题意，故 D项正确。2What does the underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?APersonal.

21、DrinkingDThe New Findings of Heart Disease答案与解析：B考查标题判断。通读全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了人们对咖啡是否有益于身体健康说法不一。有人认为适量饮用咖啡有益身体健康，有人却认为过量饮用咖啡会增加心脏病的发病率。据此可知，B 项最适合作为本文的标题。二、七选五5It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others._1_ If you have done al

28、n life issues”可知，作者建议把注意力集中在自己的事情上；据此可以判断，空处建议“让其他人自己解决他们自己的问题” ，故 D项符合文意。3F 根据该段标题“Be kind”可知，该段主要阐述“和善待人”的建议，这与 F项中的“try to act kindly towards this person”照应，故 F项符合文意。4A 根据空后一句“This saying is the life motto of a naturalborn peacekeeper”可以判断，空处是调解人的一句格言。A 项意为“最伟大的胜利是一场没有战斗的斗争” ，符合文意，故 A项正确。5E 根据空前一

Around ten safesafetyminutes ， an ambulance arrived and took to hospital.I continued my way latelater himherto school，feeling that I could offer some help in time.happilyhappy第一处：An
33、dBut。考查连词。前后句之间是转折关系，故用 But。7第二处：happenhappened。考查时态。根据上文中的“I went on foot”可知，此处描述的是发生在过去的事情，应该用一般过去时。第三处：crossescrossing。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，cross 与 A middleaged woman之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用现在分词形式。第四处：thatwhat。考查名词性从句。这里指“看到现场发生的事情” 。此处在句中引导宾语从句，且在从句中作主语，表示“的事情” ，故用 what。第五处：rush 前加 a。考查冠词。此处指作者冲向那位女士以提供帮助。ma
34、ke a rush for“冲向，奔向”是固定搭配。第六处：删除 out后的 of。考查固定搭配。一位路人拿出他的手机并给警察打了电话。get“取来，拿来” ，是及物动词，其后可直接接宾语；out 在此为副词。而 get out of sth.意为“离开(某地)，摆脱，放弃” ，显然不符合此处的语境。故 of多余。第七处：safesafety。考查名词。此处充当介词的宾语，应该用名词形式。safety“安全的地方” 。第八处：latelater。考查副词。虽然 late和 later都可用作副词，但前者表示“迟，晚” ，后者表示“后来，随后” 。根据句意可知，应将 late改为 later。第
35、九处：himher。考查代词。此处指的是救护车将那个受伤的女士带去了医院，故应用her。第十处：happilyhappy。考查形容词。feel 是系动词，其后应用形容词作表语。四、短文语法填空Women are starting to take power in more and more important positions in recent years._1_ to a new list made by AFP, the _2_ (world) 10 most powerful women who made their way above the “glass ceiling”， _3

39、ing all over the world and across women _10_ all ages.语篇解读：由于社会不断变化的观念，女性不再像旧时那样带孩子和照顾家庭，而是越来越融入社会并有了一定的社会地位，甚至近几年出现像希拉里和陈冯富珍这样在政治上占有一席地位的女性。1According according to 意为“根据” ，为固定短语。故填 According。2worlds 定冠词 the后修饰的中心词是名词 women，设空处作定语，应用名词所有格，故填 worlds。3include 分析句子结构可知，who made their way above the “gla
40、ss ceiling”为定语从句，主语 women后缺谓语，陈述的是客观事实，故用一般现在时。故填 include。4when 设空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词 the age，且在从句中作时间状语，故用关系副词 when引导该定语从句。5disadvantage 句意：实际上，对于女性来说，这可能是年龄一个通常被认为是劣势的因素如何变成优点的最好证明。介词 as及冠词 a(n)后的中心词应为名词单数形式，根据句意可知填 disadvantage。6better 根据句中的 than可知，此处应用比较级。故填 better。7experienced 根据空前的 and可知设空处和 educated为平行关系，在系动词 are后用作表语，应用形容词，且修饰人，故填 experienced。8what 介词 about后接宾语从句，且从句中缺宾语，设空处表示“的东西；的事情” 。故填 what。9a life 在此表示“生活” ，为可数名词，此处泛指“一种平静的生活” ，因此，其前用不定冠词 a。10of 名词 ages前有限定词 all，故设空处只能填介词，表示“的” 。故填 of。
