【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 said. Some have said that the book represents a turning point in Chinese studies in Brazil. Besides, the sinologist did research on the mark and presence of China in the architecture and arts of Brazil. It was through art that China awoke in me, first, curiosity, after that, interest, and finally, passion, Teixeira said. In 1992, the sinologist visited Macao to do research for his doctoral thesis about the marks and presence of China in Brazil, and that trip impressed him a lot. In 2013, Teixeira had a chance to visit the Chinese cities of Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, and got to know the past and present of the great country culturally, as well as its incredible material development.（1）What does the underlined sentence imply? children39。s love for dragons as Chinese children. development of ChinaBrazil frequent trade cooperation. further understanding of the cultures of the two countries.39。s influence on most diverse areas of Brazilian society.（2）What marks a new stage of Chinese studies for Brazilian? 39。s clothes. sinologist39。s traveling. sinologist39。s book.39。s porcelain.（3）What fired the sinologist39。s passion for Chinese studies? art. customs. history of China.39。s development.（4）What is the best title for this passage?

Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a little more concrete, a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee. The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffeegrowing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them. Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all mercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a halfdegree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change. In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by 1. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature. Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations (海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas. Coffee is the second most traded goods by developing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economies. Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee。 their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise. As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will bee much more expensive, and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen. Not only that, but the economic effects will cost the West millions in increased foreign aid.（1）What does the underlined word adversely in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A.To adapt to the change of temperature.B.To increase the quality of the products.C.To reduce the cost of coffee productionD.To get access to water supply more easily.（3）What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs? A.The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.B.Small changes may have large effects in general.C.Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.D.Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.（4）How does the author feel about the future of coffee production?
