【标题:Benefitsof drinking coffee outweigh risks, review suggests】
科普文章是完形部分选材的重点。今天的文章摘自于《每日科学》(2016年6月)网站文章。话题关于喝咖啡的是是非非。今天的词汇不复杂,但句子值得借鉴。
【精选】
(1) Coffee isenjoyed by millions of people every day and the “coffee experience” has becomea staple of our modern life and culture.
(2) ____ the current body of researchrelated to the effects of coffee consumption on human health has beencontradictory, a new study found that the potential benefits of moderate coffeedrinking outweigh the risks in adult consumers for the majority of major healthoutcomes considered.
【作业】
第(2)句中空缺分部的单词是:
[A] suppose
[B] since

【解词】
staple* n. 主食,不可缺少的食物(超刚词)
contradictory a. 矛盾的
potential a. 潜在的
moderate a. 适度的,适中的
to outweigh v. 超过
outcome n. 结果
【解句】
1、第(2)句while the current body of research related to the effects of coffeeconsumption on human health has been contradictory, a new study found that thepotential benefits of moderate coffee drinking outweigh the risks in adultconsumers for the majority of major health outcomes considered.
【解】句首连词while引导让步状语从句,主干为body of research ... hasbeen contradictory,其中related to the effects of coffeeconsumption on human health过去分词短语作定语修饰body of research。
2、主句部分主干为a new study found (主谓宾,后面that引导宾语从句)that the potential benefits ofmoderate coffee drinking outweigh the risks in adult consumers (主谓宾)for the majority of major health outcomes considered(介词for短语作状语,其中considered修饰outcomes)。
【答】应选[D] while“虽然,尽管”,前后连个分句之间为让步和转折关系。选项[A] suppose“假如”,选项[B] since“自从,既然”,选项[C] once“一旦”都未表达出前后分句的关系。
【译文】
(1)每天咖啡为数百万人所享用,“体验咖啡”已经成为现代生活和文化的重要部分。
(2)就喝咖啡对我们健康影响,人们近些时日进行的的大量研究一直充满矛盾,一项新的研究发现,尽管如此,在成年消费者中,就考虑到的大多健康结果的多数案例而言,适度喝些咖啡带来的潜在益处远大于弊处。
