【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 After many years, Indianapolis remembered the value of its arts and music culture. It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue. To do so, it began to make new changes. The changes included repairing historic areas like the Avenue. Once again, the high living costs in these historic arts areas pushed lowine families out. Today there are several oldstyle jazz clubs where friends can meet up to remember the past or just enjoy a summer evening.

However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue munity and with it, its jazz culture.” 但在20世紀(jì)50年代，情況發(fā)生了變化?！欢?，新的大學(xué)和建筑使得貧困家庭不得不離開(kāi)這個(gè)地區(qū)。這摧毀了印第安納大道社區(qū)，也隨之摧毀了它的爵士樂(lè)文化。可知，轉(zhuǎn)折詞but之后描述了爵士樂(lè)的衰落，因此推測(cè)出劃線詞prospered意為“興盛、蓬勃發(fā)展”。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue.

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?
