One
16、 day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now, theres been a lot of research into whether coffees good for our health. “ The results have really be
17、en mixed, “ admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. “Theres been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and theres also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as wel
18、l. “ Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400, 000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study. “ We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than
19、 those no-drinkers, “ he said. Heres what he means by “modestly“: those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study. When the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared
20、 to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease, injuries, accidents and infections. Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesnt prove coffee can make people live longer. A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. All it can really do is to point researchers in th
21、e right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffees really good for you, scientists have no idea why.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, reporters would like to know the research findings of_.（分数：2.00）A.teaB.beerC.alcoholD.coffee(2).According to the passage

25、 Help You Live Longer?D.Can Tea Help You Live Longer?Washington Irving was Americas first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and
26、 at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love o
27、f both the Old World and the New. Thackeray described Irving as “a gentleman, who, though himself born in a very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty: socially the equal of the most refined Europeans. “ In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxfordan unusual honor for a citizen
28、 of a young, uncultured nationand he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. America made him ambassador to Spain. Irvings background provides little to explain his literary achievements. As gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and neve
29、r did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.（分数：10.00）(1).The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was_.（分数：2.00）A.Americas first man of lettersB.a writer who had great success both in

32、or the theater.B.It developed his skill in business.C.It prompted his interest in law.D.It had almost no effect on his life.(4).Which of the following best describes the effect of Irvings personal qualities on his literary success?（分数：2.00）A.His personal qualities were entirely responsible for his l
33、iterary success.B.His personal qualities were primarily responsible for his literary success.C.His personal qualities had some effects on his literary success.D.His personal qualities had no effects on his literary success.(5).Why might Irvings literary ability have been surprising to the English?（分

35、nto lifeboats, the musicians from the ships band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self-interest. “ There was no pushing,
36、“ says David Savage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was “very, very orderly behavior. “ Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the s
37、ame time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked (恐慌). There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors. The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. T
38、he Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. “ If youve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will takeover and everybody will behave in a social manner, “ Savage says. “If youre going down in under 17 minutes, basically its instin
39、ctual. “ On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats. Yes, were self-interested, Savage says. But were also part of a society. Given time, social norms (规范
40、) can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic (坚忍的). On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, economists were confused because_.（分数：2.00）A.peoples behavior was dis
41、orderly on the TitanicB.people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC.most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD.women and children could not climb into the lifeboats(2).The expression “won out“ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “_“.（分数：2.00）A.took the uppe
42、r handB.went out of controlC.ran wildD.shut down(3).According to David Savage, _was a critical factor in determining peoples behavior in the sinking of these two ships.（分数：2.00）A.social orderB.placeC.instinctD.time(4).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.Both ships
43、 were expensive ones.B.A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C.About the same number of people from each ship died.D.Both ships had a similar number of passengers.(5).Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Why Didnt Musicians Play on the
44、Lusitania?B.Why Did Musicians Play on the Titanic?C.Why Didnt Passengers Panic on the Titanic?D.Why Did Men Smoke on the Titanic?三、Vocabulary and Struc(总题数：31，分数：62.00)17.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
