Coffee has become a popular drink in our culture. Most people have a coffee maker at home for guests who come to visit. It naturally contains caffeine (咖啡因), which people in today’s society have somewhat come to rely on (依靠) to provide them with energy.

In the workplace many people start their day with a cup of coffee, and then continue to drink it until it’s time to go home. Many meetings also begin with a cup of coffee --- which is why so many workplaces now have a steady flow of office coffee.

Coffee is unsurprisingly one of the most traded agricultural products in the world, supporting the economy in many countries. Coffee is made from the roasted(烤,烘,焙) seeds of coffee cherries, which grow on trees in over 70 countries. The seeds are roasted to different degrees depending on the flavors wanted, and then are brewed (泡,煮) to create the coffee drink. Coffee is usually sold already roasted, so that all you have to do is add hot water.

Coffee is labeled according to its appearance --- light, medium light, medium, medium dark, dark, or very dark.

People argue a lot about whether the effect of drinking coffee is positive or negative. Some people think that drinking too much coffee is bad for our health. But you can buy decaffeinated (脱去咖啡因的) coffee, which has a lot less caffeine. Most people, however, would not care about the negative effects of drinking coffee.

The increase in tuition fees(学费) has led to a “clear drop” in the number of English students applying for university places this autumn. There are 15,000 “missing” applicants this academic year, according to the Independent Commission on Fees. Chairman Will Hutton said: “We’re asking our young men and women to have more debt than any other country in the world — it’s higher than the average debt in the US. It’s not clear whether those lost students this year will return next year, or if it’s a storm warming of a worrying trend.”

But the commission’s report says there does not seem to be an impact on poorer communities. The commission found there was no significant change in the application rate to the key universities, such as Oxford or Cambridge. The decline (下降)in England has not been mirrored in other parts of the UK where fees have not been raised, and the drop can only partly be explained by falling numbers of young people in the population. Students from Scotland attending Scottish universities do not pay fees, while the Welsh Assembly says it will pay fees above £3,465 for Welsh students attending UK institutions.

The average tuition fee at English universities this year is £ 8,385, rising to £ 8,507 next year. UK and EU students have access to govemment-backed loans to pay the fees. And the survey of 1,000 pupils aged 15-18, carried out this April, found that the majority expected to go on to higher education as people continue to understand that university remains a good long term investment in their future.

A spokeswoman at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills which is responsible for universities, said:“Students shouldn’t be forced to put off going to university for financial reasons. Most students will not have to pay in advance, and no one will have to start paying back their student loan until they start to earn at least £ 2l,000 per year.”

1.From the first paragraph, we know that __________________ .

A. it’s a trend that English students are dropping out of school

B. the rising tuition fees have a great effect on English students

C. the lost English students will find their way back

D. many English students are missing the final examinations

2.Why is there still a drop of applicants though fees have not been raised?

A. Because the students live in poor communities.

B. Because Welsh students will pay fees above£3,465.

C. Because education is free for Scottish students.

D. Because there are less young students in the area.

3.What’s the students’ attitude to universities in the survey?

A. Most of them are willing to go to university.

B. They feel universities takes up too much time.

C. They will stop applying for university places this autumn.

D. They are anxious to go to a key university.

4.The spokeswoman in the last paragraph advises students to ______________

A. put off going to university

B. reduce the anxiety about the rising fees

C. pay for the fees in advance

D. pay back their loan soon after graduation

 

There are some things humans can go without. We can lose a kidney (肾)or a lung, an arm or two and still live perfectly well. But some fish put us to shame. They can get by without stomachs.

One such fish is the stout longtom(尖嘴魚 ). The group it belongs to carries a more appropriate name: the needlefish. All needlefish lack stomachs. Their ancestors had them, but later they were lost.

The stout longtom can reach 1.3 meters in length, and lives near the sea surface. Like all needlefish, it can jump out of the water to escape its enemies. Tropical(热带) fishermen are sometimes injured by needlefish. In 1977, a 10-year-old Hawaiian boy was killed when a needlefish jumped through his brain. The longtom eats smaller fish. Its teeth are not good at cutting fish into pieces, so it swallows fish whole.

Ryan Day from Australia and his colleagues wanted to know how the longtom digests its meaty meals without a stomach, so they ran some chemical tests about the fish.

Day’s results show that the longtom can consume food without the help of a stomach. It uses a special material called trypsin(胰岛素) that can break down proteins without acid — although the approach is less efficient than using a stomach.

Because it’s a meat-eating animal, the longtom gets a lot of protein in its food, so it can afford this slightly less efficient system for absorbing it. Two plant-eating fish that Day studies actually had higher levels of trypsin in their body, as their food was low in protein.

Day thinks that the longtom and its stomachless relatives might actually have arrived at an energy-saving solution. He says that although the stomach is critical to many kinds of animal, the organ is “a fairly expensive organ to run”. This perhaps explains why some animals have got rid of theirs.

1.What does the underlined phrase “get by” mean?

A. Live.B. Fight.C. Hunt.D. Recover.

2.Ryan Day ran the chemical tests in order to find out how the longtom ______.

A. catches smaller fish in the water

B. can jump so high to escape its enemies

C. digests the smaller fish in its body

D. uses acid to break down the protein

3.What plays a key role in the longtom’s digestion process?

A. AcidB. Trypsin.C. The stomach.D. Protein in its body.

4.Ryan Day’s results show that ______.

A. the longtom often waste energy

B. the longtom can make acid easily

C. the longtom’s high-protein food helps its unique way of consuming food.

D. meat-eating fish have higher levels of trypsin in their bodies than plant-eating fish

After living in the United States for quite a long time, I do not think about the cultural differences any more. Last month, my parents came to visit me. Their observations (观察) on the American lifestyle reminded me that cultural differences between living in China and America are actually everywhere.

When my parents came to America, they praised my house. Everyone had his/her own bedroom; there was a front yard, a backyard and a garage; there were many bathrooms – all convenient and comfortable. However, they were not used to the glass doors at the first floor. My mom, from southern China, was worried that someone would break open the glass doors. Though I said that nobody would do that, she was still worried about it.

When I brought them to eat in fast food restaurants, whether it was in McDonald’s or KFC, they saw that refilling drinks was for free. This concept (观念) of free refill was so new to them.

A Chinese friend told me a story. He and his American girlfriend ate at a restaurant. His girlfriend wanted to drink English tea. He was curious, so he tried some and found that it didn’t taste bad with milk and sugar in it. Adding more water to tea is free of course, so he drank more cups. His girlfriend found it embarrassing and explained to him that what he was doing was not exactly fair. If he wanted to drink more tea, he should buy another cup. My friend thought that Americans could take advantage of the free refills, but only a few of them did that. After staying in America for some time, he changed his habit.

1.We can infer that the writer _____.

A. doesn’t like American culture

B. has got used to her life in America

C. received an American education as a child

D. thinks American and Chinese cultures are the same

2.What made the writer’s parents worried?

A. That someone would break into the house.

B. That someone would be hurt by the glass doors.

C. That they wouldn’t have a bedroom of their own.

D. That they wouldn’t live comfortably in the house.

3.When eating at McDonald’s for the first time in America, the writer’s parents were probably surprised that _____.

A. there were so many choices

B. the prices for food were so low

C. they could refill drinks for free

D. they could get extra food for free

4.The American girl mentioned in the last paragraph thought that _____.

A. Americans like taking advantage of other people

B. her boyfriend wouldn’t like traditional English tea

C. drinking too much English tea harmed people’s health

D. her boyfriend shouldn’t take advantage of the free refills
