答案與解析

（一）本文作者闡述了研究者的發(fā)現(xiàn)：每天喝三杯咖啡有益健康。

1. compared 因people與compared是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，用過去分詞短語作狀語。

2. to reduce因appear to do 意思是“似乎做了某事”。

3. were seen句中benefits和see是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，用過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)。

4. including表示“包含”，也可將including看作介詞。

5. But該句與上句為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，用but。

6. difference在the后面應(yīng)接名詞，用difference。

7. a因balance是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，用a 。

8. recommends 因The NHS（英國國民健康保險(xiǎn)體系）為第三人稱單數(shù)，時(shí)態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，用recommends。

9. at因at risk of是固定搭配，意思是“有……的危險(xiǎn)”。

10. which 引導(dǎo)定語從句，先行詞是healthy coffees。

（二）一個(gè)叫Adina Lichtman的女生在路上給流浪漢派發(fā)三明治。在得到一個(gè)流浪漢的提醒后，她意識(shí)到流浪漢真正需要的是襪子。她努力收集襪子去捐助給流浪漢并從中學(xué)到了一個(gè)道理：只有認(rèn)真聆聽，才能了解別人的真正需求。

1. for 由be grateful for sth（對某事物感激）可知，填 for。

2. surprising修飾名詞insight，需用形容詞；形容事物的性質(zhì)，表示“令人驚奇的”，故填surprising。

3. really 修飾動(dòng)詞need作狀語，用副詞，故填really。

4. sandwiches 因作者是去派發(fā)三明治，按常識(shí)手里不止一個(gè)，故用復(fù)數(shù)。

5. to help 句中已有謂語knew，故help應(yīng)為非謂語動(dòng)詞；在the way后作定語，用不定式to help。

6. a 意思為“一個(gè)”強(qiáng)大的教訓(xùn)，故填a。

7. began 因主語she與謂語動(dòng)詞begin之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系；且根據(jù)前后語境可知事情發(fā)生在過去，要用一般過去時(shí)，故填began。

8. if/whether 因they could each just... 做asking... 引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，根據(jù)句意邏輯關(guān)系，應(yīng)填表示“是否”的if或whether。

9. their 在名詞books前作定語，表示“他們的”，用they的形容詞性物主代詞their。

10. had donated 因主語people與謂語動(dòng)詞donate之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系；且根據(jù)語境“捐助donate”發(fā)生在opened之前，故填had donated。
