答案與解析

（一）本文作者阐述了研究者的发现：每天喝三杯咖啡有益健康。

1. compared 因people与compared是被动关系，用过去分词短语作状语。

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

3. were seen句中benefits和see是被动关系，用过去时的被动语态。

4. including表示“包含”，也可将including看作介词。

5. But该句与上句为转折关系，用but。

6. difference在the后面应接名词，用difference。

7. a因balance是可数名词单数，用a 。

8. recommends 因The NHS（英国国民健康保险体系）为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，用recommends。

9. at因at risk of是固定搭配，意思是“有……的危險”。

10. which 引导定语从句，先行词是healthy coffees。

（二）一个叫Adina Lichtman的女生在路上给流浪汉派发三明治。在得到一个流浪汉的提醒后，她意识到流浪汉真正需要的是袜子。她努力收集袜子去捐助给流浪汉并从中学到了一个道理：只有认真聆听，才能了解别人的真正需求。

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

2. surprising修饰名词insight，需用形容词；形容事物的性质，表示“令人惊奇的”，故填surprising。

3. really 修饰动词need作状语，用副词，故填really。

4. sandwiches 因作者是去派发三明治，按常识手里不止一个，故用复数。

5. to help 句中已有谓语knew，故help应为非谓语动词；在the way后作定语，用不定式to help。

6. a 意思为“一个”强大的教训，故填a。

7. began 因主语she与谓语动词begin之间是主动关系；且根据前后语境可知事情发生在过去，要用一般过去时，故填began。

8. if/whether 因they could each just... 做asking... 引导的宾语从句，根据句意逻辑关系，应填表示“是否”的if或whether。

9. their 在名词books前作定语，表示“他们的”，用they的形容词性物主代词their。

10. had donated 因主语people与谓语动词donate之间是主动关系；且根据语境“捐助donate”发生在opened之前，故填had donated。
