To hear most recent research tell it, coffee is a miracle drink. 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.

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 polar bears spend a lot of
their time in the waters of the Arctic( 北 极 ),fishing or swimming among the sea
may look awkward in the water , but no creature with paws is a better swimmer.
They'd better 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, 38% of the bears
surveyed took at least one such marathon swim .
6 . People may feel surprised to know that polar bears are classified as marine mammals
because
bears cannot live in the sea
bears have paws and can walk
bears are usually seen on land
bears are rarely pictured by people
7. what does the writer mean saying

bears are the best swimmers in the world

Passage 3
How many hundreds of heroes go unheralded（未宣布的） from the days of the Underground
Railroad? While we celebrate such important figures as Harriet Tubman and Frederick
Douglass, numerous others were needed to make the operation of the 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 r, 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 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 ?

Passage 4
We are in the midst of a heated public debate over the benefits of online education.
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
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 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 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 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.
