ATea and coffee are the two most universal beverages in the world. People believe tea, especially green tea, has a lot of benefits for the health. It’s said that it has an effect to resist cancer and protect the heart. However, good clinical studies are quite few. Although physicians often tell patients to drink green tea, there hasn’t been any dependable proof of the value of that advice.However, a team of Japanese researchers found drinking green tea can clearly decrease death rate. They followed 40,530 healthy adults aged 40 to 79 for up to 11 years in a region of northeastern Japan where most people drink green tea. They found the death rate of those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day is evidently lower than those who drank less than one cup a day, especially, in disease related with heart and blood vessels.But no such association was seen with deaths from cancer, nor between oolong or black tea and any decrease in death rate. Those teas are easier to be combined with oxygen in processing, which not only darkens the color of the leaves and changes their flavor but also reduces their beneficial content.Compared with tea, coffee is more controversial. It has received both gold stars andblack marks. It, too, contains a matter that is good for health. Evidence for the health benefits of coffee is increasing, however. A group of researchers report that coffee seems to protect against age-related decline in mental ability. They studied 676 healthy men born from 1900 to 1920 and followed them for 10 years, using scientific measures of brain function.Their conclusion shows the men consuming coffee had clearly less decline in mental ability than those who did n’t. Three cups a day seemed to provide the most protection.21.Physicians often tell patients to drink green tea because_______.A.its medical values has been provedB.it’s believed to be good for healthC.it has long been applied in clinicD.its effect has been shown in animals22.The Japanese study seems to have confirmed the positive effect of green tea on _______.A. people with mental disabilitiesB. patients with various cancersB. people with physical disabilities D. patients with heart disease23.The text indicates that black tea differs from green tea because _________.A.it can keep the color of its leavesB.it can reduce cancer-related deathsC.it contains less effective contentD.it is stronger in flavor than the latter24.Coffee is beneficial to one’s health because _______.A.it slows down the rate of brain agingB.it is more beneficial than green teaC.it lowers the rate of natural death rateD.it keeps system of the body activeBAs the rapid development of artificial intelligence(AI), there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to Stuart Russell, a computer science professor, if we figure out how to turn human values into a computer program.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated(复杂的) tasks, it’s nec essary to have them act on human values. For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat on the stove to make dinner for the hungry children. “To prevent the tragedy, you must have it programmed with a good set of values,” said Russell.At present, some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and he came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more human-friendly moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules. This isn’t too difficult in technology if humans do resolve to have robots behave according to human moral criteria. After all robots have ability to learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do enough testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo(禁忌). Therefore, it’s necessary to have the robot go through a self-check program to make sure it will react by following human values when presented with an unusual situation.25. What does Russell think about the threat of robots?A. It is a big challenge to computer programmers.B. It’ll push the development of high technology.C. It can be avoided if robots act on human values.D. It’ll be a must as technology gets more complicated.26. What do you think of a person who gets into your personal space according to the author?A. Aggressive.B. Outgoing.C. Friendly.D. Bad-mannered.27. Based on the passage, robots learn human values by _________.A. communicating with humans in everyday life situationsB. following the daily routines of civilized human beingsC. picking up patterns from huge data on human behaviorD. copying the behavior of properly brought-up humans28. How can we make sure that robots’ behavior isn’t affected by humans’ careless?A. Put in a moral self-check program.B. Stop to seek advice from a human being.C. Keep a distance from possible dangers.D. Do sufficient testing before taking action.CEvery year Hollywood will turn out more blockbusters.

One example comes from agriculture. Food shortage(短缺) and hunger make news. But no one has ever reported the trend of world grain production. This is the decline in the growth in production of some of the world’s major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.The authors take a vast number of data for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soyabean(大豆). It shows that between 24% and 39% of all the farming areas which contributed grain production growth before 1980s witnessed a decline in grain production growth in the 1990s and 2000s.There are two worrying points of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in India and China, which have the largest population. They are able to feed themselves, which make the food markets relatively stable, both within the countries and on the world. However, their ability can not be taken for granted if their growth in production continues to slow down.Second, production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabean.This is because wheat and rice are pure food grains, compared with which, corn and soyabean are also commercial. Their rate of deep processing is much higher than rice and wheat and the prediction of a higher income drives more farmers to turn to corn and soyabean production.The report also let out some optimistic findings which suggest that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050. This is in agreement with the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organization. Moreover, it says, thanks to the slowdown of population growth, land at present used for crops might be likely to be turned back to forest land.33.The underlined word most probably means ________.A. accelerationB. slowdownC. progressD. prosperityC. new headlines in the leading mediaD. the food supply in populous countries34.India and China are mentioned in particular just to show_______.A.their food production decreases sharply in recent yearsB.their self-feeding ability makes the food market stableC.their big populations are causing worldwide concernsD.their self-feeding ability has been taken for granted.35.What makes corn and soyabean enjoy a higher growth than rice and wheat?A.Food production isn’t as efficient as before th e 1980s.B.The food market isn’t as stable as two decades ago.C.Some big countries no longer produce enough grain.D.Farmers tend to grow what brings in a higher income.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选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
