    13．Coffee is one of the most popular drinks around the world．There are many different types of coffee and experts think that there are more flavors of coffee than there are of wine．Coffee contains caffeine，something that raises our awareness，keeps us from failing asleep or simply gives us a kick in the morning or after lunch．
    Food experts，however，are still undecided on how healthy coffee is．For a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee，because it may lead to heart problems，high blood pressure，and headaches．
    Scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is made that hold the key to our health．Elderly people on the Greek island of Ikaria live longer than normal．Among other things，this is linked to the consumption of a strong coffee．Experts also point out that different roasts and types of coffee beans have different effects on our health．Milk and sugar change the different levels of caffeine in a cup of coffee．
    A new study by a Harvard research group says that there is no link between coffee and health problems．Drinking several cups of strong coffee a day is not connected with early death or other heart diseases．
    Coffee has many advantages，as the new study suggests．While alcohol makes people sleepy and slow moving，coffee gives them energy．Getting together for a cup of coffee is also a form of socializing and has a positive effect on relationships．
    Although a lot still needs to be uncovered about coffee，it seems to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes （糖尿病）．Reports show that people who drink coffee may develop Parkinson's disease later in life，or maybe not at all．Doctors think that coffee may have a positive effect on our brain．
    24．The underlined phrase"gives us a kick"in Paragraph 1probably meansA．
    A．makes us refreshed                  
    B．hits us with the foot
    C．breaks our legs                         
    D．lets us feel painful
    25．According to Paragraph 5，coffee has many advantages except thatB．
    A．it gives us energy
    B．it helps us run faster
    C．it is a form of socializing
    D．it has a good effect on relationships
    26．What can we learn from the passage？D
    A．Coffee does harm to our brain．
    B．Caffeine cannot keep us awake．
    C．Drinking coffee is the key to our health．
    D．Coffee may not be connected with health problems．
    27．Which can be the best title of this passage？C
    A．Coffee and Energy                   
    B．Coffee and Wine
    C．Coffee and Health                    
    D．Coffee and Brain．

    分析 咖啡是世界上最流行的饮料之一．咖啡有许多不同的类型，而且专家认为咖啡的口味比酒都多．咖啡包含咖啡因，会使我们清醒，避免我们昏睡，能在早晨或者午后使我们保持清醒．
        科学家们发现咖啡对我们健康影响的关键在于咖啡的质量和其冲泡方式．希腊卡里亚岛上的老年人比一般人长寿．除了其他方面，这和浓咖啡的饮用有关．专家还指出不同的烘焙方式和咖啡豆品种对我们的健康也有影响．一杯咖啡中的牛奶和糖分改变着咖啡因．
        哈弗一研究小组的一项研究表明咖啡和我们的健康问题之间没有关联．一天中饮用几杯咖啡不会引起早亡或者其他心脏病．
        新的研究表明咖啡有许多优点．酒精使人昏睡、动作迟钝，而咖啡给人能量．喝杯咖啡也是一种社交形式，对增进人际关系有着积极作用．
        虽然关于咖啡仍然有许多需要去发现，但是咖啡看起来能降低得癌症和糖尿病的风险．报告显示喝咖啡的人可能在生命晚年才会得帕金森氏综合征或者也许根本不会得．医生认为咖啡也许对我们的大脑有积极的影响．

    3．W：Hi，Mr．Lee，I am （41）a reporter from the New York Times．It will be great（42）if you can tell me some information about chopsticks，（43）such as  their origin and the materials they are made from．
    M：Good question．Chopsticks originated in China，but they are（44）widely （wide） used in many Asian countries．Chopsticks may be made of any of the （45）following（follow） materials：bamboo，wood，gold，silver，ivory，or plastic，and they may be（46）either either round or square．Some chopsticks are decorated （47）withcolored pictures．Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo．In ancient times，the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth．Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned．
    W：OK，thank you．And I'd like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks．（48）Why not knives and forks，like Americans？
    M：Oh，that is a good question．I think Chinese people choose chopsticks，rather than knives and forks，because Chinese people，under the influence of Confucianism，have traditionally （49）considered
    （consider） knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence．On the other hand，chopsticks reflect （50）gentleness（gentle） and kindness．And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks．

    5．Tea，the second most popular drink throughout the world and the national drink of China，is now receiving ever-growing threats from canned beverage，bottled water and instant powdered coffee or other sorts of soft drinks．Due to high-pressure competition and heavy load of work，people nowadays tend to favor drinks which are more easily processed and readily available．However，from my perspective，I believe that tea will maintain its popularity over other modern drinks．
    Admittedly，beverages like cocktail or lemonade invitingly satisfy our taste buds with their exotic flavors； carbonated drinks like Cola or Sprite instantly cool us down especially when served with ice； coffee drinks like mocha or latte smoothly keep us refreshed and help us unwind．However，the tempting and lasting flavors of those drinks may be produced with many additives and preservatives．
    Tea，with more choices of different tastes or kinds，offers us joy and relaxation and of course is richer in culture and healthier．Black tea or oolong tea，jasmine tea or chrysanthemum tea，whichever can find one who enjoys it and appreciates the culture involved．
    It's wonderful to have a cup of my favorite tea served in exquisite tea cups on a sunny afternoon while reading through novels or just day dreaming．The warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance （香味） of herbs and flowers often quickly relieves the pressure and calms me down．
    The concept of tea drinking is strongly rooted in us Chinese as an integral part of daily routine，especially for the elder generations．Every time we step into a Chinese restaurant，a teapot is a must on the table and we will be graciously received with the greetings like："Which kind of tea would you prefer？"
    Tea is a healthy choice．It has unique medical and nutritional values，either relieving people's physical pain and mental stress or assisting clinical treatment of certain types of diseases or even cancer．
    （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

    81．Why do people prefer to drink other sorts of soft drinks rather than Chinese tea？Because high-pressure competition/heavy load of work makes people like easily processed drinks．/readily available drinks．
    82．A lot of drinks such as Coffee，Cola，Sprite often attract us fortheir tempting and lasting flavors and keep us refreshed．/help us unwind．
    83．The author has his own way to relieve his pressure，drinking the warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance．．
    84．What effective function does tea possess？It possesses unique medical and nutritional values．．

    12．Some of the most popular programmes on British television，all with their regular millions of loyal viewers，are‘soaps'such as Coronation Street，Eastenders and Emmerdale．（A‘soap'is an informal word for a‘soap opera'，which is a television story，in daily or weekly episodes （连续剧集），about the daily lives of the characters in it．）
    In every soap there is comedy and tragedy，and storylines of all kinds．In every soap there is the inevitable gossip，and there is the essential character who brings misfortune on himself-or herself，the spiteful woman who hates the success of her sister in marrying a man with money and whose childish behavior splits the family．
    To some degree，of course，the regular episodes provide many people with an adult kind of comic，rather like Dickens'serialized novels did．At times，the actions and characters in them seem quite realistic； at other times，they go to the other extreme and show actions that look as if they are straight from the pen of the best fiction writers．But perhaps the fall into clearly fictional comedy or tragedy is necessary to remind regular viewers that their daily amount of‘soap'is no more and no less than a shot of fiction，and that the characters are not real．
    Certainly life is never dull in a soap．If one of the adolescents buys a motorbike and a young child lives round the corner，you can bet the two will meet in an accident．If two people fall in love and get married，you can be sure that a friend will cast an insult on the character of one of them，enough to break up the marriage．After all，this is not life； this is a soap!Reality makes way for fiction．The viewers who think that they are watching even a reflection of reality only bring disappointment to themselves．But there are still viewers who follow the comings and goings of the characters on screen with unreasoning faith，believing that the events are real when characters are injured or ill，or even die，and send cards or flowers with best wishes，congratulations or sympathies．
    What many of us find difficult to understand is just why soaps have become so popular？
     
    （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS．）
    78．Coronation Street，Eastenders and Emmerdale are popular British soaps whichhave millions of regular loyal viewers．
    79．What are the two necessary elements of a soap opera？The inevitable gossip and the essential character
    80．The regular viewers need to be reminded that the soap operas areonly （a shot of） fiction and not real．
    81．What do some TV viewers do when they are mad about the soaps？They follow the characters on screen unreasoningly/with faith．．
