They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional
disability”，or problems with daily activities or basic needs，such as dressing or bathing.
Specifically，almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became
functionally disabled，compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups
a day.

education，lower smoking rates，fewer heart attacks and strokes，and greater mental

said.

lead researcher Yasutake Tomata did note that one recent study found green tea extracts (提取
物) seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.

and small amounts of vitamin K，which means it could affect drugs that prevent blood clotting

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。
A little girl lived in a small, very simple, poor house on a hill and as she grew she would play
in the small garden. There, she was able to see over the garden fence and across the valley to
a wonderful house high on the hill. This house had golden windows, so golden and shining that
the little girl would dream of how magic it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden
windows instead of an ordinary house like hers. Although she loved her parents and her family,

she yearned to live in such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and exciting
it must feel to live there.
When she got to an age when she gained enough skill and sensibility to go outside her garden fence,
she asked her mother if she could go for a bike ride outside the gate and down the lane. After
pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she should keep close
to the house and not wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where
she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she rode her bike until she got to the gate
of the golden house across on the other hill.
As she dismounted her bike and leaned it against the gate post, she focused on the path that led
to the house and then on the house itself. She was so disappointed as she realized all the windows
were plain and rather dirty, reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that was
derelict.
So sad she didn't go any further and turned, and heart broken as she remounted her bike. As she
glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her. There across the way on her side of the valley was a
little house and its windows glistened golden as the sun shone on her little home.
She realized that she had been living in her golden house and all the love and care she found
there was what made her home the 'golden house'. Everything she dreamed was right there in front
of her nose!

阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
What would you do if you were lost in the dark forest at night? The first sensible lesson
is that you shouldn’t bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay put until
dawn. Because then you won’t trip over things? No, mainly because you’ll have an idea of direction.
The sun rises in the east. But you will be amazed at how many people forget they know that. Apparently,
the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter — they are thick, and evergreen.
The next thing to do — or rather not to do — is panic, for the obvious reason that unless there
is someone there to hear you scream, it will get you nowhere. Just try to think of nice, happy
things.
There is always a point in films when a person who is lost in the desert or the snow, dehydrated(脱
水的) and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footprints and realizes they have just walked
in a huge, round circle. It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths of
your legs. Experiments prove that, without the sun or the moon (or landmarks) as a fixed guide,
lots of small errors add up over time so the brain can’t correctly identify the “straight ahead”
direction. To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it.
There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by far the best is to establish
north using the stars. Most people can identify the Plough, which is part of Ursa Major. It looks
a lot like a saucepan. The Plough rotates through the sky, but let’s imagine the saucepan lying
horizontally (水平地), with its handle on the left. You need to trace a line from the star at
the right-hand base of the pan, through the star at the right-hand rim (边沿), and follow it upwards;
the north star is roughly five times the distance between those two “pointer” stars. Then drop
a vertical line from the North Star to the horizon and that’s north.
“Tonight is very cloudy and I can’t see the Plough.” Maybe luckily, it is quite windy. Keep
in mind that almost all of our weather comes from a south-westerly direction. (This only works
if you are in the British Isles). To find the direction, you can throw light bits of dried-out
grass in the air and see which way they blow; or, if there are clouds and patches of clear sky,
see which way they blow across the stars. You can also get an idea of direction from leggy plants.
If they look as if they have been blown over, they will probably be pointing north-east. If they
are simply leaning in one direction as they grow, there’s a good chance that is south (they will
be reaching towards the sun). The last thing to do is to judge your direction and off you go.
12. What might be the best title of the passage ?

A. How to survive in the forest
B. How to protect yourself in the forest
C. How to direct your way out of the wild
D. What to do if you are lost
13. Which of the following pictures matches the description of the position of the north star?

14. Why will people often walk in a circle if they are lost in the desert or the snow?
A. Because without anything to refer to for directions, the brain will be confused by errors.
B. Because one of the legs is longer and stronger than the other.
C. Because the desert or the snow usually covers a large area for people to get across.
D. Because people usually feel dehydrated and exhausted in the desert or the snow.
15. If you were lost in Taklimakan Desert in China, _________ would NOT be dependable for you
to identify the directions.
A. the sun B. the North Star C. wind D. the moon
