(2019·吉林一中高一月考)
The United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union (EU)，which is a historic decision that will reshape the nation's place in the world and is already upsetting governments across the continent.The surprising turn of events has caused a fall in the financial markets.
The series of actions to leave the EU won by 52 percent to 48 percent.More than 17 million people in the UK voted to sever ties with the EU.About 16 million voted to remain.
The result raises serious questions about the future of the EU.The British going out from the union­nicknamed Brexit—is just the latest in a series of crises to annoy the EU. The alliance(联盟) is already dealing with economic bad results from the global financial collapse(崩溃) of 2008.
Some British citizens believe the EU has too much influence over Britain's authority (权力) and that the country's industries would be more profitable on their own.Others want Britain to get back control of its borders and reduce the number of people entering the country to work.They say the EU's open border policy allows unlimited numbers of people to come in from poorer nations—and that those people take jobs from British workers.Those who want to stay in the EU，meanwhile，argue that the UK and its economy are stronger within the alliance.
Now the UK will become the first nation to leave the EU.The decision is a huge hit on the alliance because Britain is one of its most powerful members.“The main influence will be huge disorder in the EU system for the next two years，” said Thierry de Montbrial，Executive Chairman of the French Institute of International Relations.“There will be huge political change costs on how to solve the British exit.” The decision could also have a domino effect，he warned，with other countries following the UK's lead and exiting the EU.
【语篇解读】英国有超过1 700万人投票决定退出欧盟，这是一个历史性的决定，这一决定不仅对英国，而且对欧盟也产生了很大影响。

(2018·甘肃天水一中段考)
Next time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee，you might want to cool it down a bit before drinking.
Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer.Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65 ℃，when swallowed，can cause cancer of the esophagus (食道)．The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70 ℃ or above.Those studies were completed in Iran，China and South America.
In developed countries，health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks.However，this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages(饮料) at very high temperatures.
In Europe and the United States，many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 ℃.And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly.However，tea­drinkers in Iran often enjoy their beverages at temperatures close to 70 ℃.
The researchers found that South Americans not only drink their very hot beverages，they also drink them through a metal straw.This sends the scalding liquid directly into the throat.
The findings，however，are good news for coffee drinkers.In 1991，the World Health Organization (WHO) listed coffee as possibly carcinogenic (致癌的)．The WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing.They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink.
The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature，rather than the drink itself，that appears to be responsible.
【语篇解读】研究表明，相较于不同类型的饮料对人们身体的影响，饮用温度过高的饮料更易造成食道癌。

5．What might be the cause of esophageal cancer in developed countries?
A．Smoking. B．Alcoholic drinks.
C．Unhealthy vegetables. D．Hot drinks.
解析：选D 细节理解题。

根据第三段的内容可知，在发达国家，健康专家们曾经把食道癌与抽烟、喝酒联系在一起，然而这种癌症在人们喝高温度饮料的地区更常见。

故选D。

6．Where do tea­drinkers liking adding milk come from?
A．China. B．Iran.
C．The United States. D．South Africa.
解析：选C 细节理解题。

根据第四段中的“In Europe and the United States，many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 ℃.And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly.”可知，欧洲人和人喜欢在咖啡和茶中加入牛奶。

故选C。

7．What does the underlined word “scalding” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Sweet. B．Cold.
C．Hot. D．Tasteless.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。

根据第五段中的“The researchers found that South Americans not only drink their very hot beverages”可知，南美洲人喝的饮料非常烫，scalding liquid指“滚烫的液体”。

故选C。

8．What can be learned from the passage?
A．Once the WHO thought coffee would cause cancer.
B．Drinks below 60 ℃ can cause esophageal cancer.
C．The temperature of the drink should not be the cause of cancer.
D．Drinking milk is a much healthier way to keep away from cancer.
解析：选A 细节理解题。

通读全文并结合倒数第二段中的“In 1991，the World Health Organization (WHO) listed coffee as possibly carcinogenic(致癌的)...on that listing.”可知，A项正确，其余选项都与文章内容不符。

The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature，rather than the drink itself，that appears to be responsible.
[分析] 本句为复合句。

前两个that均引导宾语从句，作suggest的宾语，其中第二个that不可省略。

“it is the temperature，rather than the drink itself，that appears to be responsible”是强调句，强调的是“the temperature，rather than the drink itself”。

[翻译] 这些结果表明，喝非常烫的饮料可能是造成食道癌的一个原因，而且似乎是(饮料的)温度，而不是饮料本身造成的。
