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 (不含咖啡因的) 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. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t help reduce death risk. B. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk. C. Putting sugar in coffee may take away its good effects. D. People who don’t drink coffee have a lower death risk. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The health benefits of different coffee types. B. The age groups most suitable for coffee drinking. C. The ideal amount of coffee for maximum benefits. D. The research methods and data sources of the study. 6 What does the underlined word “caveats” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limitations. B. Expansions. C. Foundations. D. Applications. 7. What is Dr. Wee’s attitude towards coffee consumption? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Approving. C 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 in1965 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. 二：七选五（总分12.5分） Summer vacation has begun for many of us, and chances are your kids are spending their free time in front of a screen instead of enjoying the nice weather.

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. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在多文化公司中，人们应该更多地关注相似之处而不是差异。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。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合作时，我们大多数人做的第一件事就是了解差异。这样做有一些非常明智的理由。它有助于你避免文化误解。)”可知，在多元文化公司中，人们关注差异是为了减少不必要的麻烦。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(当你接近一个人时，你不会思考你们所有可能不同的地方；相反，你会自然地被相似性所吸引，找到你们可能共有的东西，以此作为关系的基础。)”可知，在多元文化公司中关注相似性可以建立联系的基础。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句上文“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.(你不会在接近一个人时就去想你们之间所有可能的不同之处；相反，你会自然而然地被相似之处所吸引，寻找你们可能共有的东西，作为建立关系的基础。)”可知，通过关注相似性，你有能力创造联系并建立关系，从而消除文化差异或使它们变得无关紧要，由此可知，eliminate意为“消除”，与选项C“Remove”意思相近。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual.(这种方法的另一个优点是，你的同事更有可能觉得你把他们当作个体来看待。)”等内容可知，关注相似性的优势是让别人感到被重视。故选A。 D When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了每天走10000步这一目标的来源、相关研究及增加日常步数的建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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?(说起保持健康体魄，我们常被提醒要争取每天走一万步。这令许多人感到厌烦，尤其是当我们忙于工作和其他事务时——然而，这个数字究竟从何而来呢？)”可知，作者认为每天走10000步是一个令人烦恼的目标。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.(虽然一些研究表明，每天走10000步对健康有益，但哈佛医学院最近的研究表明，平均每天走大约4400步就足以显著降低女性的死亡风险。)”可知，哈佛医学院的研究表明，大约是10000步目标的一半（4400步）似乎对降低女性死亡风险有益。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“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.(得克萨斯大学最近的研究也表明，如果你每天走路少于5000步，第二天你的身体分解脂肪的能力就会下降。体内脂肪堆积还会增加一个人患心血管疾病和糖尿病的可能性。)”可知，本段主要讲述了每天走路少（少于5000步）可能带来的问题，如身体代谢脂肪能力下降、增加患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险等。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“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.(如果你想增加每天的步数，或者只是想多运动，一个简单的方法包括如果可能的话步行上班，或者如果你在家工作的话，参加一个在线锻炼项目。)”可知，参加在线锻炼项目是增加日常步数的一个建议方法。故选D。 二：七选五（总分12.5分） Summer vacation has begun for many of us, and chances are your kids are spending their free time in front of a screen instead of enjoying the nice weather.
