longterm heart health.New research from Arteriosclerosis，Thrombosis，and Vascular Biology，a journal(期刊) of the American Heart Association，found that high tea consumption and proper coffee consumption may be associated with decreased rates of death from coronary heart disease(CHD)(冠心病)The study followed more than 37,000 tea and coffee drinkers over 13 years.Participants completed food recalls to document their typical intake of tea and coffee，and were divided into groups that ranged from light to heavy consumption.Researchers accounted for variables(变量) such as health histories，height，weight，and waist circumference(腰围) and recorded the number of deaths from cardiovascular(心血管的) disease and stroke during the study period.Overall results showed that consuming more than six cups of tea per day was associated with a 36% lower risk of death from heart disease compared to consuming less than one cup of tea per day.There appeared to be no such protective effect of teadrinking at any amount for risk of death from stroke.Among coffee drinkers，more proper consumption levels(23 cups per day) were associated with the greatest risk reduction for death from heart disease (21%) compared to drinking less than one cup of coffee per day.Researchers acknowledged certain inconclusive variables within their findings.For example，the difference between decaffeinated(去咖啡因的) and regular coffee could not be accurately accounted for，nor could specific recommendations be made for type of tea，though due to its popularity in the Netherlands where the study took place，researchers assumed most tea consumption to be black tea.Furthermore，researchers found that tea and coffee drinkers had opposite lifestyles，with tea drinkers tending to engage in healthy lifestyle habits and coffee drinkers being more likely to eat less healthily and smoke.It was difficult to say with certainty what impacted these other lifestyle variables may have contributed to the overall results.语篇解读如果喝茶或咖啡已成为你日常生活的一部分，那么你或许会想知道这会对你的心脏健康有什么影响。本文介绍了一项科学研究，该研究发现多喝茶和适量咖啡有益于心脏健康。32Whats the conclusion of the study?APeople should drink tea and coffee as much as possible.BDrinking more tea may benefit people with CHD.CHigh tea consumption may reduce the rate of stroke.DCoffee consumption has nothing to do with heart disease.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“.found that high tea consumption and proper coffee consumption may be associated with decreased rates of death from coronary heart disease(CHD)”可知，新的研究发现，多喝茶和适量咖啡可能会减少死于冠心病的概率。故选B项。33Which of the following variables havent been considered?AHealth histories.BHeight and weight.CWaist circumference.DThe type of tea and coffee.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Researchers accounted for variables such as health histories，height，weight，and waist circumference(腰围) and recorded the number of deaths from cardiovascular(心血管的) disease and stroke during the study period.”可知，A、B、C三项均有提及。故选D项。34What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AAll people in the Netherlands like black tea.BTea and coffee drinkers had a similar lifestyle.COther variables have no effect on the results.DThere are still something uncertain about the study.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“It was difficult to say with certainty what impacted these other lifestyle variables may have contributed to the overall results.”可知，这个研究还有些不确定的因素。故选D项。35Which of the following might be the best title?AWhy Our Heart Loves Coffee and Tea?BDrink More Tea and CoffeeCHeart Disease Will Be ReducedDAn Amazing Finding About Heart Disease答案A解析标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一项科学研究，该研究发现多喝茶和适量咖啡有益于心脏健康，因而A项能够反映主题。根据文章内容，喝咖啡要适量，故B项不符合；C项没有体现文章主题；D项则过于宽泛。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Clones in FictionStories
