That morning cup of coffee may be linked to a lower risk of dying, researchers from a study published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine concluded. Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 per cent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers.
Researchers analyzed coffee consumption data collected from the U. K. Biobank, a large medical database with health information from people across Britain. They analyzed demographic, lifestyle and dietary information collected from more than 170,000 people between the ages of 37 and 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee.
“It’s huge. There are very few things that reduce your risk of dying by 30 per cent,” said Dr. Christina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research, she added. This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower the risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine.
Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said.
4. Which of the following is a finding of the study?
A. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk.
B. Putting sugar in coffee may take away its good effects.
C. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t help reduce death risk.
D People who don’t drink coffee have a lower death risk.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The research methods and data sources of the study.
B. The health benefits of different coffee types.
C. The ideal amount of coffee for maximum benefits.
D. The age groups most suitable for coffee drinking.
6. What does the underlined word “caveats” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. applications. B. expansions. C. foundations. D. limitations.
7. What is Dr. Wee’s attitude towards coffee consumption?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Approving. D. Cautious.

The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings. But focusing on differences alone can have its downsides. For one thing, there's a likely chance you’ll be wrong. Focusing on differences can also be quite mentally taxing. So, if you don’t focus on differences, what then can you do to be more effective across cultures? In our experience, an equally reasonable and highly effective alternative technique is to focus on similarities. And this change in perspective can have some pretty powerful effects.
If you think about it, this is probably exactly how you establish connections and relationships in your own culture. You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship. Although we tend to approach cross-cultural interactions quite differently, the same technique actually works just as well across cultures. When focused on similarities, you’re open to — and, in fact, looking for — a potential connection. Perhaps it’s a hobby you share in common with a coworker, or maybe both of you at a business meeting abroad have families you’re trying to connect with. By focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and build relationships that either eliminate cultural differences or make them irrelevant.
Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual. On the other hand, focusing on similarities means you are suited to the particularities of the specific person you are interacting with. This is more likely to result in the other party feeling seen and heard for who they are, and can kick off a positive lift of mutual (相互的) openness and trust.
8. Why do people focus on differences in a multicultural company?
A. To emphasize their own culture. B. To reduce unnecessary troubles.
C. To take advantage of other culture. D. To make the workplace multicultural.
9. What’s the significance of focusing on similarities in a multicultural company?
A. The origin of the hobbies. B. The start of work efficiency.
C. The foundation of connections. D. The improvement of your family.
10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Maintain. B. Strengthen. C. Remove. D. Worsen.
11. Which is the advantage of focusing on similarities in the last paragraph?
A. Making others feel valued. B. Making yourself centred.
C. Indicating your interest. D. Making others adapt to your culture.
D
When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from?
The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It's even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.
Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.
Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.
If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk — rather than in a cafe or pub — can also be useful.
12. What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day?
A. It is an upsetting target to achieve.
B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.
C. It is a rising tendency of mental health
D. It is effective in reducing pressure on work.
13. What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target?
A. It matters as much as 7500 steps a day.
B. The more steps, the lower risk of death.
C. A bit more than the target can improve health.
D. About half that target appears to be beneficial.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Absence of previous research. B. Recent findings of fat buildup.
C. Problems of less daily walking. D. Possible causes of physical challenges.
15. Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage?
A. Working at home. B. Treating friends in a cafe or pub.
C. Driving lo work. D. Signing up for online exercise programs.

Summer vacation has begun for many of us, and chances are that your kids are spending their free time in front of a screen instead of enjoying the nice weather. We won’t repeat the warnings about children and screen time here, but we admit it: Pulling them away from video game can be tricky, as they’re so addicted. 16
Many botanical gardens and nature preserves offer programs tailored for children and families. These include yoga classes, treasure hunts, and flashlight evening walks. If no classes or activities are available, try encouraging your kids to feel the grass under their feet or notice the butterflies and insects that call the grounds their home. 17 When you get home, have them search for any similar ones in your backyard.
Sidewalk chalk, such as drawing butterflies on the pavement, is an old but reliable standby that can fire up your child’s imagination. Nevertheless, it can quickly become tiresome for your kids. 18 You could start a tic-tac-toe game (井字游戏) using sticks and rocks or go on a hike and give each other points for each animal or tree they see.
19 However, sometimes your kid isn’t into it — or is too little to hike any real distance. In that case, let them be the leader and decide your family’s direction. 20 It gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility to the activity and engages them a lot more.
A. However, sunshine and exercise might change their attitude.
B. Let them appreciate the different flowers and ask about their favorites.
C. To develop a sense of curiosity in children counts.
D. Have some ideas ready on the fly to keep them occupied.
E. That’s one of the masterpieces you can transform nature into.
F. You are not necessarily reaching the destination you want to reach.
G. A walk in the woods can be great for the whole family.

该研究基于英国生物银行的健康数据,分析了超过17万名37-73岁人群的咖啡消费习惯与死亡风险的关系。研究发现, 适度饮用咖啡(含糖或无糖)可能降低死亡风险 ,但强调这是观察性研究,不能证明因果关系。每天饮用1.5-3.5杯咖啡者死亡风险降低30%,无糖咖啡饮用者降低16%-21%。研究同时指出,过量饮用(>4.5杯/天)可能削弱益处,且无足够证据建议不喝咖啡者开始饮用。
4. 根据第一段Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 per cent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers.在研究期间,那些每天喝1.5到3.5杯咖啡的人,即使只加一茶匙糖,死亡的可能性也比不喝咖啡的人低30%。在研究期间,那些喝无糖咖啡的人死亡的可能性要低16%到21%,而那些每天喝三杯咖啡的人与不喝咖啡的人相比,死亡的风险最低。
选项A. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk.研究明确指出适量饮用咖啡(1.5至3.5杯)可显著降低死亡风险,符合研究发现。
5. 第二段Researchers analyzed coffee consumption data collected from the U. K. Biobank, a large medical database with health information from people across Britain. They analyzed demographic, lifestyle and dietary information collected from more than 170,000 people between the ages of 37 and 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee. 研究人员分析了从英国 Biobank银行收集的咖啡消费数据,这是一个包含英国各地人们健康信息的大型医学数据库。他们分析了17万多名年龄在37岁至73岁之间的人的人口统计、生活方式和饮食信息,随访时间为7年。同时饮用不含咖啡因和含咖啡因咖啡的人死亡的风险仍然较低。
选项A. The research methods and data sources of the study.该段明确指出研究使用的是UK Biobank的数据,并描述了样本量、年龄范围和随访时间等方法性内容,符合研究方法和数据来源。
6. 根据第四段There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research... the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying... there may be other lifestyle factors contributing... 然而,在解释这项研究时,有一些主要的caveats……数据并不能确凿地证明咖啡本身能降低死亡风险。可能还有其他生活方式因素在起作用……
caveats出现在转折词however之后,表示对该研究结果的提醒或限制性因素。后文指出该研究为观察性研究,无法证明因果关系,说明存在局限或限制。选项D. limitations最贴切。
7. 根据第五段Despite the encouraging evidence... there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks... even keen coffee drinkers shouldn't use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. 尽管有令人鼓舞的证据……没有足够的数据表明,目前不喝咖啡的人应该去星巴克……即使是热衷喝咖啡的人也不应该用这项研究来证明喝不完的咖啡是合理的。
Dr. Wee虽然承认研究结果令人鼓舞,但同时指出:不能据此建议非咖啡饮用者开始饮用咖啡;咖啡爱好者也不应以此为理由无节制饮用;高摄入量(超过4.5杯)效果减弱,甚至可能有害。这些观点体现了选项D. Cautious.谨慎、理性的态度。
8-11 BCCA
文章讨论了在跨文化环境中,人们通常首先关注文化差异以避免误解,但过度关注差异可能导致错误和心理负担。作者提出应转而关注相似性,认为这种策略能更有效地建立关系,消除文化隔阂,并促进相互信任。核心观点是:通过寻找共同点(相似性)而非仅强调差异,能更高效地实现跨文化协作。
8. 根据第一段The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings. 当我们与来自新文化的人一起工作时,我们大多数人做的第一件事就是了解差异。这样做有非常合理的理由。它可以帮助你避免文化上的误解。
原文中明确指出人们关注差异的合理原因是为了避免误解。这与选项B. To reduce unnecessary troubles. 减少不必要的麻烦相吻合。
9. 根据第二段instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship. 相反,你会自然地被相似之处所吸引,找到你们可能有共同之处来形成一段关系的基础。
文章强调通过相似点建立连接和关系,这是构建合作与信任的起点。选项C. The foundation of connections.关系的基础最能准确反映这一点。
10. 根据第二段By focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and build relationships that either eliminate cultural differences or make them irrelevant. 通过关注相似之处,你就有能力建立联系和建立关系,从而eliminate文化差异或使其无关紧要。
根据语境,eliminate在这里表示消除或去除,与make them irrelevant(使其无关紧要)并列使用,说明其含义是去除差异,选项C. Remove.符合。
11. 根据第三段Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual. On the other hand, focusing on similarities means you are suited to the particularities of the specific person you are interacting with. This is more likely to result in the other party feeling seen and heard for who they are, and can kick off a positive lift of mutual openness and trust. 这种方法的另一个好处是,你的同事更有可能感觉到你把他们视为一个独立的个体。另一方面,专注于相似点意味着你适合与你互动的特定的人的特殊性。这更有可能让对方觉得自己是被关注和被倾听的,并且可以开启一种相互开放和信任的积极提升。
作者指出关注相似点可以让对方感受到被视为一个独立的个体和关注倾听,即被重视。选项A. Making others feel valued.使他人感到被重视最贴切表达这一含义。
12-15 ADCD
本文探讨了每日10000步健康目标的起源(源自1960年代日本公司的营销活动),并引用多项研究指出:10000步的科学依据不足 ,但对健康仍有积极影响(如缓解抑郁症状);较低步数(如4400-7500步)即可显著降低死亡风险 ,且收益递减;步数不足(<5000步)会导致脂肪代谢问题 ,增加慢性病风险;建议灵活增加日常活动量 ,如步行通勤、线上锻炼等。
12. 根据第一段This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from? 这可能会惹恼很多人,尤其是当我们忙于工作和其他承诺的时候—然而这个数字实际上是从哪里来的呢?
关键句This can annoy many,说明作者认为这一目标对许多人来说是令人烦恼的。后文还指出该目标并非源于科学,而是营销产物,进一步表明作者对该目标持怀疑或否定态度。
选项A. It is an upsetting target to achieve.(这是一个令人烦恼的目标)符合文章。
13. 根据第三段Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. 研究人员对每天一万步的目标进行了调查、recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. 哈佛医学院最近的一项研究表明,平均每天走4400步就足以显著降低女性的死亡风险、The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. 人们走的步数越多,死亡的风险就越低,之后会稳定在每天7500步左右。更多的步数并没有带来额外的好处。
哈佛研究显示, 约4400步即可显著降低死亡风险 ,且7500步后无额外收益。选项D. About half that target appears to be beneficial. 约一半目标有益(即4400≈10000/2)与原文一致。
14. 第四段Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism. 德克萨斯大学最近的研究也表明,如果你每天走路少于5000步,你的身体第二天代谢脂肪的能力就会降低。体内脂肪的堆积也会增加一个人患心血管疾病和糖尿病的可能性。先前的研究进一步支持了这一观点,该研究表明,每天步行少于4000步的人无法改变这种脂肪代谢下降的情况。
第四段讲的是如果每天走不到5000步,第二天身体代谢脂肪的能力下降,易导致心血管疾病和糖尿病。重点在于步数少带来的问题。选项C. Problems of less daily walking(日常步行不足的问题)符合文章。
15. 根据第五段If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk — rather than in a cafe or pub — can also be useful. 如果你想增加你每天走的步数,或者只是想多运动,一个简单的方法就是走路去上班,如果可能的话,或者如果你在家工作,参加一个在线锻炼项目。和朋友一起散步—而不是去咖啡馆或酒吧—也会很有用。
选项D. Signing up for online exercise programs(报名在线健身项目)符合文章。
二:七选五

这篇文章主要围绕如何帮助孩子减少屏幕时间、增加户外活动这个主题展开,提出了多种亲子户外活动的建议,并强调了家长在引导过程中应具备的灵活性与创造性。文章指出,虽然屏幕时间对孩子的吸引力很大,但通过参与自然探索、艺术创作和互动游戏等方式,可以有效激发孩子的兴趣,让他们主动离开电子设备,亲近自然。
16. 原文前两句讲的是暑假开始,孩子们沉迷屏幕、我们不重复警告,但承认拉他们离开游戏很难。空格位于段落后句,应起到承上启下的作用。接下来讲植物园和自然保护区的项目,所以此处应是一个过渡句,引导读者转向户外活动。选项A. However, sunshine and exercise might change their attitude.这句话起到了转折和引出后文的作用,表示虽然孩子沉迷游戏,但阳光和运动可能会改变他们的态度,从而自然引入后面的户外活动建议。
17. 该段讲的是植物园和自然保护区为家庭提供的活动,比如瑜伽、寻宝、夜间手电筒散步等,强调让孩子观察自然。选项B. Let them appreciate the different flowers and ask about their favorites.让他们欣赏不同的花并询问他们的最爱正好与注意到蝴蝶和昆虫这一句形成补充,引导孩子关注自然之美,增强互动性和参与感。
18. 该段提到粉笔画虽然好,但孩子容易厌倦,所以需要新的点子来保持他们的兴趣。D选项D. Have some ideas ready on the fly to keep them occupied.随时准备一些创意点子来让他们保持忙碌直接回应这一问题,强调父母要有应变和创造力,与上下文逻辑紧密贴合。
19. 这一段开始讲到如果孩子对徒步不感兴趣或年纪太小,那么可以让他们当领队。而选项G. A walk in the woods can be great for the whole family在树林中散步对整个家庭来说都是很棒的是自然引入这一情境的背景句,为后文孩子主导方向做铺垫,逻辑顺畅。
20. 前文讲孩子当领队,决定家庭的方向,后文讲这种做法可以增强孩子的责任感和参与感。选项F. You are not necessarily reaching the destination you want to reach.你不一定能到达你想要的目的地是对这一做法的补充说明,表达了过程比结果更重要的理念,也强调了家庭互动的价值。

范文二
Yesterday, our school invited Officer Li to give a traffic safety lecture to help students stay safe during the summer vacation. Held in the school hall, the event brought together teachers, students, and parents. Officer Li first stressed the importance of following traffic rules, like stopping at red lights and using crosswalks. He then explained common risks for teenagers, such as texting while walking or forgetting to wear helmets when biking, supported by videos and traffic sign demonstrations. Lastly, he shared practical tips, including always wearing seat belts and refusing to ride with drunk or tired drivers.
The lecture not only raised our awareness of road safety but also reminded us to share these lessons with families, creating a safer environment for everyone. Students left with clear ideas on how to avoid accidents, making this activity both meaningful and timely.
I believe that the knowledge that students have learned through this lecture will surely enable them to better protect themselves and have a safe and happy summer vacation.
