Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)   (Each item/blank: 2 point(s)   Full score: 20)

Directions: Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Coffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.
Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake-at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.
One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850.
Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.
Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans.
Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story. The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa.
Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.
12.   What is caffeine?

C)

Being a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females. However, this number changes a great deal, and by the age of maturity (成熟), the number of young men is about the same as that of young women. And among 70-year old people, there are twice as many women as men. But this great universal (普遍性) truth is changing. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that for the first time there will be too many boys in those crucial (至关紧要的) years when boys are searching for a mate. What is even more troubling is that the survival of so many boys has removed a chance for natural selection (选择) to do its work. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the difference in weight is due to genes (基因), a force of change has gone.
There is another way to commit evolutionary (进化的) suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Except in some religious communities, very few women have 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of children. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have disappeared.
For us, this means that people will no longer experience the physical changes that other living things do; our bodies are as perfect as they are ever going to be. Strangely, we have been able to make great advancements without physical change. In the past 100,000 years—even the past 100 years—our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We managed to make such changes because of technology and social systems.
Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of the process of change; they "look at living beings like a dog looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond their comprehension." No doubt we will be shocked at the ugliness of the 20th century way of life. But however amazed future people may be at how far from perfection we were, those future people will look just like us.
17.   According to the author, what was the danger a man had to face in the past?  

A)
Lack of mates.  
B)
Strong competition.  
C)
Lower chance of living to maturity.  
D)
Genes.
