C Drinking three to four cups of coffee a day may reduce your risk of liver cancer and other alcohol-related liver diseases, according to a new study. Researchers looked at the coffee habits of more than 494,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database, and monitored their liver health over 11 years. Participants ranged from 40 to 69 years old, with 384,818 saying they were enthusiastic coffee drinkers, and 109,767 saying they were not. Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health. “It confirms in a large UK cohort (一群人) that coffee drinking is protective against severe liver disease,“ said Prof. Paul Roderick, a co-author of the study from the University of Southampton. People who drank ground caffeinated (含有啡非因的) or decaffeinated coffee saw the most benefits, while some reduction in risks was also found in instant coffee drinkers. The maximum benefit was found in people who drank three to four cups a day; any higher consumption didn’t show additional benefits, according to the study. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is most common in people who are overweight or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. The disease affects up to 25% of people in the United States, according to the American Liver Foundation. Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. The rate of liver cancer since 1980 has more than doubled, aceording to the American Cancer Society. Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.” One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account. “The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said. 8. What did the study find about coffee drinkers? A. They could benefit more by drinking more coffee. B. They preferred caffeinated coffee to instant coffee. C. They may have a healthier liver than non-coffee drinkers. D. They had difficulty changing the way they drank coffee. 9. What does Vanessa Hebditch advise people to do? A. To avoid drinking coffee at night. B. To drink coffee after doing exercise. C. To reduce weight by drinking coffee. D. To improve liver health in many ways. 10. What is the main limitation of the study? A. It failed to monitor participants closely. B. It only focused on participants’ coffee consumption. C. It may affect the coffee consumption in the future. D. It may ignore the changes in participants’ coffee intake. 11. What is Rodercki’s attitude towards the study? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. D A team of AI researchers at Microsoft, working with colleagues from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory(PNNL), has used AI to develop a battery that uses less lithium (锂). Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives. In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries. This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required. To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives, the researchers turned to AI. Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave. Using this approach, the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities. They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further. The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds. After adopting that advice, the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (钠) atoms. After using the new approach to build a working battery, the researchers found it had lower conductivity (导电性) than needed — but they also believe that there is room for improvement. They plan to continue working on the approach and the process they used to find their solution, which they suggest could eventually solve other types of material processing problems. 12. Why did the research team want to develop a battery that uses less lithium? A. To reduce carbon emissions. B. To meet the industry standard. C. To decrease the cost of a battery. D. To generate electricity efficiently. 13. What do the underlined words “this approach” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Using AI to find possible materials. B. Adding other materials to a battery. C. Developing an application to collect data. D. Replacing lithium in a battery with sodium. 14. How did the research team finally find a promising alternative? A By seeking funding from PNNL. B. By asking experts for advice. C. By turning to Microsoft for help. D. By cooperating with other scientists. 15. What is the existing challenge with the new approach? A. It is less effective than expected. B. It costs too much time and money. C. It occupies too much room. D. It processes at a lower speed. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While the tech industry is always advertising the next hot device, the reality is that you already own a lot of amazing tools.

Li Hua 第二节 读后续写 (满分25分) 高二英语 第7页 (共8页) 【47题答案】 【答案】When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. Tears welling up in his eyes, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. He stood there, paralysed with shock, a car key dropping from the back of the Bible, which had a tag with the dealer’s name and the date of his graduation, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Sometimes we don’t realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect “the packaging” to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. We are supposed to arm ourselves with the capacity to explore the truth. A profound understanding of the world and its complexities reveals that the truth often lies beneath the surface, concealed by the veil of appearances. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
