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 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 consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【语篇解读】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。4What is the peoples attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?ADisapproving.

BSlight.CReasonable. DHeavy.答案与解析：C考查词义猜测。根据该句中的“less than 4 cups”可知，饮用的咖啡不超过4杯；据此可以判断，该句是说，每天摄入适量的咖啡因对身体无害。据此可知，画线词意为“适度的”，故C项正确。6What can we infer about Harwood?AHell keep on drinking coffee.BHe loves his high school life.CHe often falls asleep in class.DHe has some health problems.答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part，coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”可知，Harwood认为，尽管喝咖啡可能会带来一些负面影响，但大多数情况下，喝咖啡对健康有好处；更不用说，他需要咖啡来保持清醒。据此可以推断，他将继续喝咖啡，故A项正确。7What would be the best title for the text?AWhy People Love Coffee?BHow Coffee Affects Health?CThe Culture of Coffee DrinkingDThe New Findings of Heart Disease答案与解析：B标题判断题。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。C(2018江西赣中南五校高三第一次联合考试)Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laughand the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their heads off. The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasnt only funny, but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of him.In short, we dont laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.【语篇解读】本文主要分析了人们笑的原因。8What did the author find out about studying psychology?AOnly good jokes make people laugh.BMany factors lead to peoples laughing.CFunny things can make people laugh.DLaughter can make people healthy.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.”可知，作者在学了心理学之后发现，笑不仅仅是因为事情好笑，还有很多其他的心理因素的促成和影响，故选B。9Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?AThey played a trick on the pedestrians.BThe pedestrians behaved in a funny way.CThey could feel the pedestrians happiness.DTheir emotion was approved of by the show.答案与解析：D推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.”可推知，人们对行人的行为大笑的原因是他们在心理上产生了共鸣，故选D。10What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?AAnnoy. BBlame.CLook down on. DMake up to.答案与解析：C考查词义猜测。根据最后一段倒数第二句“I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.”可推知，动词belittle和短语make fun of是近义词，结合选项可知，应选C。annoy“使恼怒”；blame“责怪”；look down on“蔑视，瞧不起”；make up to“接近，奉承，补足”。11Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?答案与解析：B推理判断题。结合全文可知，第一段导入话题；第二、三段通过具体事例进行分析；根据文章最后一段的开头“In short”可知，最后一段属于总结；由此可知，本文属于总分总的结构，符合本文结构的图表是B选项。D(2018福州市高三毕业班适应性练习)In this day and age, it may seem that getting two people with different views together to discuss them is a recipe for disaster. Just think about what would happen if you sat down and had an open and honest conversation with someone with completely opposing views. Could it bring you closer together?However, the Human Library organization is counting on it.At a Human Library, people volunteer to become “books” and make their experiences open and available. “Readers” are encouraged to ask them questions freely, and theyll get honest answers in return. There are no judgments, and no questions that are off limits.You wont find unpleasant comments, and you wont lose faith in humanity. At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in. You might even make a new friend!“The human books consist of people who have been discriminated by society，” said Ronni Abergel, the Human Library organizations founder, who has set out to build space for conversations that can challenge prejudices through dialogue. “The most pleasantly surprising thing about it is how close all the human books become to one another，” he said.Human Libraries help to remind us there really is more, what unites us than divides us. And as events now spread throughout 82 countries, with the Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan, you can tell that is a shared feeling.“We can spend billions and billions on trying to build up homeland security and our safety, but real safety comes from having positive relations to other groups in your community，” said Abergel. “Real safety is not going to come from building walls. Its going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Human Library组织的发展、主旨和活动。12What does the first paragraph imply?AHeated discussions are often carried out among people.BOpen dialogue cant always lead to close relations.CPeople with opposing views are not honest enough.DWe tend to have open dialogue with people around us.答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“In this day and age，it may seem that getting two people with different views together to discuss them is a recipe for disaster.”可知，让两个持有不同观点的人来讨论他们的观点似乎是一种灾难。据此可以判断，开放交谈并不总是能让关系亲密，故B项正确。13What will readers get at a Human Library?AA fair judgment. BUnpleasant comments.CAn available experience. DRegaining confidence.答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in.”可知，在真人图书馆，你会感觉到你所生活的世界更加美好，从而恢复自信。故D项正确。14Which of the following can replace the underlined “launch” in Para. 6 in meaning?AAccelerate. BSubstitute.CSucceed. DStart.答案与解析：D考查词义猜测。根据第六段第二句中的“And as events now spread throughout 82 countries, with the Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan”可知，随着该活动在82个国家开展，Human Library甚至将很快在巴基斯坦和约旦启动。据此可以判断，画线词意为“开始，启动”，故D项正确。15What did Abergel advise people to do to get real safety?AStrengthen bonds between people.BJoin other groups in the community.CPull down walls between communities.DSpend less money on homeland security.答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第七段最后Abergel所说的话“Real safety is not going to come from building walls. Its going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”可知，Abergel认为，真正的安全不是来自建筑城墙，而是来自伸出援手和相互了解，故A项正确。.七选五(2018昆明市高三复习适应性检测)How to Feel Beautiful on the InsidePublic opinion may have some say in who is considered “beautiful” on the outside, but inner beauty takes on a whole other meaning. _1_.
