When my high school offered an all-year program, I jumped at the opportunity. It would pay for almost everything and all I had todo was get a plane ticket. I knew where I wanted to go: Spain, the country of dancers wearingflowing red dresses. So when I heard that I was going to Hungary, I was pretty shocked. But Idecided to make the best of it, since it was, after all. a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Before Iknew it, I was on the airplane, leaving for Budapest International Airport, Hungary.I had times when I almost gave up. Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet. Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peer teens and me. I had to give up eating carrots, my favorite, for they think carrots are rubbish in their country.

Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health, while others have weled coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthy behaviors. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has healthrisks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certainillness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking twoor more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor fromthe University of California San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific munity reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefitsof drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harms of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”29. What is the peoples attitude toward the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?A. Disapproving. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Mixed.30.

The Culture of Coffee DrinkingD. The New Findings of Heart DiseaseDAre you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smart phone to see how many “likes” you ve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel forted by the soundthat someone has sent you a message?Dont worry, youre not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, andaround 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fearhis habit could be damaging our mental health.This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they wereto be depressed ( 沮丧的). In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were2.7 times more likely to be depressed pared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet, who had just 1. 7 times the risk.Some of us certainly feel sad when were ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told BBC that, “Its a real issue, and its been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships. However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre-existing issues than directly cause them.Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we dont want to miss out on a conversation thats takingplace online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual(虚拟的)online world and connect with the real world instead。33. Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?A. People checking social media frequently.B. People surfing the Internet regularly.C. People receiving a few “likes for their posts.D. People longing for more messages.34. Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para. 4?A. To introduce the ing topic.B. To give a more supporting example.C. To stress the importance of social media.D. To explain the cause of a social media addict.35. Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?A. Because they have more time and money.B. Because the virtual world is much more attractive.C. Because they want to attract more attention.D. Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.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。Curling(冰壶) is a winter sport played on ice. Therefore, its most popular in northern countries like Canada. Curling is played in the USA by about 15 000 people. 36 Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed. Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.37 Men, women, and children often pete on the same team, if they can slide a forty-pound stone down the ice! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal. After all 16 stones have been cast, the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.38 The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly. 39 Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stones path.In curling, a broom is part of each players equipment. A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court. 40 That may explain why the International Olympic mittee decided to make curling an Olympic sport in 1998.A. Players pete on the court.B. Then the play begins in the other direction.C. Curling is played by teams of four people.D. In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.E.
