1. Which of the following would the writer refer to as "harder substances"?
A. Drugs and alcohol
B. Caffeine and gum
C. Caffeine and sugar
D. Diet coke and alcohol

2. From the first three paragraphs, we can conclude _____.
A. the writer thinks negatively about addictions
B. addiction must be avoided even when it concerns legal behaviors
C. no matter legal or illegal, addiction, when not satisfied, affects the user
D. there’s no need to shy away from using the term "addiction", since it’s so common in life

B. whoever has high intelligence won’t be addicted to anything

D. to avoid addiction you have to have a better understanding of yourself

4. Be it caffeine, gum or exercise, students are trying to ________.
A. beat stress
B. branch out
C. achieve high grades
D. have a healthy lifestyle

1. A。细节判断题。根据文章第四段中an addiction to caffeine or sugar is not an automatic indication of later addictions to harder substances可知caffeine or sugar不属于harder substances，可排除BC选项。D选项中的diet coke从第五段中For me, drinking Diet Coke has become part of a routine. …. Without my daily dose of caffeine, I get tired too early…可知Diet Coke也含caffeine，所以排除。

2. C。细节判断与概括能力考查，A选项根据文章前三段可知作者并没有简单否定addiction，只是客观讲述目前人们对addiction的态度，进而讲到对合法不伤身体的addiction， 以Otto Gilbert为例，反倒体现的是其作用。BD选项错误，因为作者在文章中没有这样说。对第二段得知答案。C选项从文章第二段可知正确。

3. D。判断推理题，根据主要在文章第四段，尤其是最后一句：Avoiding addiction is not always a matter of willpower or intelligence, but rather one of self-awareness and of understanding one’s tendencies.这句用了不是…而是…所以后半句才是答案所在。这样从这句可排除AB选项，确定D正确。C选项错在what kind of addiction，这点文章没提到。

4. A。细节及对作者态度的把握。本题根据最后一段，不管是addicted to gum, or exercise, or diet coke, etc，学生们都是为了减轻压力， 或者生活更充实、有意义。所以答案是A。B项branch out出现在倒数第二段，从该句可推测意思是尝试平常不常做的事情。

A. his teammates are still mad at Ronaldo
B. his teammates have forgiven Ronaldo
C. hopes are placed on Ronaldo to pick up the team’s performance
D. the team haven’t played well due to bad relationships among the teammates

1. D。主旨把握。文章介绍了Cristiano Ronaldo的最新近况，从上赛季末到本赛季开始他都始终是人们关注的焦点，他想转会未成，失去了很多粉丝的热爱，不过现在新的赛季he has already been missed.所以D正确。

2. C。难句理解与上下文的逻辑关系把握。这句话在第三段末尾，但是和前两段的连接非常紧密。第一段说明上赛季最后一次Cristiano Ronaldo在场上时他就是spotlight;第二段紧接着说这个新的赛季他又成为focus of the attention注意的焦点。虽然他没有作为首发出场(didn’t start against…),只在下半场做替补上场，然而他依然是关注的焦点。所以只有D正确。

3. B。从倒数第三段可知B正确。A根据第五段可排除。C根据第四段可排除。D文章并没有说这两者之间有联系。

4. C。最后两段关键在he has already been missed这部分。人们为什么很想念他，因为曼联队这赛季表现很差，所以C正确。

2. A。 推论题，根据全文，J&J公司为了保护中国的秦始皇兵马佣而投入了大量的人力和物力研究抗真菌的药物。B 项仅根据文章不能确定J&J公司专门研究治愈脚气。C项文章没有提及。D项错在soldiers为发现者。
