The magic beans will ward off skin cancer and Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症), reduce heart failure and diabetes（糖尿病） risks, heighten focus, and maybe even protect liver health. Oh, and decrease suicide risk, according to the newest study that validates our coffee addictions. According to a study performed by the Harvard School of Public Health and published this month in The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry, people who drink two to four cups of java each day are less likely to commit suicide than those who don’t drink coffee, drink decaf, or drink fewer than two cups each day. The study followed over 200,000 people for at least 16 years. And it’s not just a weak link: the researchers found that the suicide risk was cut by around 50 percent for coffee addicts. This isn’t the first time that researchers have discovered that coffee and smiles might go hand-in-hand. A 2011 study found that women who drink coffee cut their risk of depression by 15 percent compared to those who don’t. Michel Lucas, the head researcher of the most recent study, told The Huffington Post that coffee addicts can thank caffeine for the good news. The drug may actually act like a mild anti-depressant by tweaking levels of happy hormones . Of course, there’s plenty of research out there that doesn’t look so kindly upon coffee drinkers. Recently, the New Yorker published an article arguing that while coffee may heighten focus, that means it also puts a squeeze on creativity. And of

course, coffee’s well-known negative effects like insomnia(失眠症) and disturbed sleep cycles still hold. Regardless, we’ll raise our mugs to this most recent study for justifying our coffee addictions once again. 1 . Which of the following is not mentioned as a possible benefit of drinking coffee ?

Tough Passages 2 Polar bears are classified as marine mammals(哺乳动物), like a seal or a whale, which might come as a surprise given that they're usually pictured on land.But polar bears spend a lot of their time in the waters of the Arctic(北极),fishing or swimming among the sea ice.They may look awkward in the water , but no creature with paws is a better swimmer. They'd better be.Arctic sea ice is declining fast,robbing the polar bear of its prime habitat and forcing them to swim longer and longer distances to reach solid ground . No other animal seems to be such a direct victim of warming, which is one reason why the polar bear has emerged as the symbol of climate change . ( Another is that they look so cute and cuddly . )It ' s a simple narrative to grasp :carbon warms the climate , Arctic sea ice melts and baby polar bears down. But it turns out it might not be that simple .A new study by scientists at the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS ) underscores the fact that polar bears really are amazing swimmer. In fact they are so good that biologists were able to document 5 0 swims that cover an average length of 96 miles. the research provides clues that polar bears may be able to keep treading(踩 ) water even as climate change melts their habitat. The researchers published their work in the Canadian journal of zoology . they followed 52 female polar bears in the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska from 2004 to 2009,using radio collars that could track the movements of the animals . They then compared the paths taken by the bears with maps of shifting sea ice over the same period of time , and found that the polar bears were world - class marathon swimmers and those long , long dips in the ocean weren't outliers—— while the really long -distance swims were relatively rate, 3 8 % of the bears surveyed took at least one such marathon swim .

While we celebrate such important figures as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, numerous others were needed to make the operation of the "railroad" a success. Runaway slaves had to be given shelter from weather and from search parties. The tale of this awesome phenomenon is one of cooperation, coordination, and brotherly love. The Underground Railroad operated as a secret organization dedicated to assisting runaway slaves from the South. The Railroad should not be thought of, however, as one cohesive body. It was in fact an ever-evolving organization devoted to one cause: protection of one's fellow men and women. It actually began during the colonial period.However, it reached its height in the decades preceding the American Civil War. Acts such as the “Fugitive Slave Act of 1850”（1850 年逃奴追缉法案）increased railroad activity and popularity. The ultimate goal of the Underground Railroad was to accomplish the safe arrival of runaway slaves to Canada where the long arm of the law could not reach them. Laws such as the Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 and 1850 allowed slave owners to recapture escaped slaves and bring them back to bondage in the South. Some historians believe this courageous organization was began by Quakers(贵格会教徒) in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.Over time, the backbone of this organization became the numerous free blacks of the North. They were essential to the successful operation of the Underground Railroad. In most cases, fleeing slaves traveled by any means necessary and often on their own in an effort to reach freedom in the North. After arriving in the North the people of the Underground Railroad would provide assistance and supplies in an effort to get them to the guaranteed freedom of Canada. 11 . Which of the following statements about the underground railroad is true ? A. It was a railroad built underground like subway B. It was a railroad operated by the us government

C. It operated as a secret organization to help runaway slaves D. It served as a secret route only known to slave owners in the south 12 . From paragraph 2 , we know that the runaway slaves________. A. could not afford to buy their train tickets . B. could be recaptured by slave owners C. could not get any shelter from bad weather D. might reach Canada with the help of search parties 13 . The Underground Railroad began_________ A. during the American Civil War B. after the declaration of independence . C. during the colonial period D. between 1793 and 1850 14 . Who were essential to the successful operation of the underground railroad ? A. Slaves in the South B. Quakers in Canada C. White people of the south D. Free blacks of the North 15 . The tone of the passage can be described as________ A. objective B. delightful C. pessimistic D. humorous

Passage 4 We are in the midst of a heated public debate over the benefits of online education. Yet while journalists and educators weigh in on the pros and cons of online courses , I’ve online classes can lead to an increase in academic dishonesty . This past semester,I caught quite a few Of my students at Cal State North ridge engaging in academic dishonesty . I think that the incidents of cheating have increased for two interconnecting reasons .The first is the trend of packing as many students as possible into course sections as a means of saving money .The second is the structure of the online courses themselves . It is evident that these two intertwining(结) trends can serve to produce academic cheating and plagiarism(剽窃). In the wake of the Great Recession and the following budget crisis , the dean of one of the colleges I teach in increased class size by as many as 50 students in an attempt to save money.One of the non - online courses I teach was intended for 32 to 35 pupils . But when I taught the course last semester , it was composed of 82 students. Online courses serve to exacerbate(加剧)the trend toward larger class sizes.The primary motive for the increase in online courses is that they do not require physical classroom space .This allows campus administrators t o cut costs by increasing the number of students enrolled in a particular course section even if they don ' t have classrooms . What's more,when students take classes online,the professor does not have face-to-face contact with the vast majority of the students enrolled in the course.As a result , one can never be sure that the students are doing their own work for there is little to stop them from paying another student to take their exams for them.It is evident that both increased class sizes without any accompanying teaching assistance and the structure of online courses by themselves , makes it easier for students to cheat . This not only cheapens the college but also makes the whole of a college education meaningless. 16 . The writer of this passage is most probably a__________. A. student B. journalist C. campus administrator

D. professor 17. In the writer’s opinion , one reason for the increase in academic dishonesty is that_________. A. students want to save money B. class sizes are too large C. classrooms are very small D. dishonest students are not punished 18. The primary motive for the increase in online courses is that__________. A. they are new and modern B. they can improve the education quality C. they do not need physical classroom space D. they are convenient for both students and teachers 19 . One form of the academic dishonesty mentioned in the passage is that____________. A. students copy term paper without being notice B. students don’t do any homework C. students don ’t attend classes regularly D. students can ask someone else to take exams 20.The writer’s altitude toward on line education is___________. A. negative B. friendly C. neutral D. supportive
