【正文】 0。D.Hopeful.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，一份新的報(bào)告表明，氣候變化的影響可能會(huì)顯著影響咖啡。到2050年，世界上適合種植咖啡的面積將減少一半?？Х犬a(chǎn)業(yè)的變化會(huì)對(duì)社會(huì)造成很多影響。 （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的“This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.”這種對(duì)溫度的敏感性增加了植物受到氣候變化影響的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。由此推斷出，上文的意思是阿拉比卡咖啡的產(chǎn)量占所有商業(yè)咖啡的70%，在典型的天氣條件下，即使氣溫只上升了半度，也會(huì)對(duì)其產(chǎn)生不利影響。adversely意思是有害的，故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.”咖啡生產(chǎn)很可能會(huì)被推到更高的海拔，以利用更低的溫度，但這將不足以彌補(bǔ)失去的低地地區(qū)。由此推斷出，人們要在高地地區(qū)種植咖啡是為了適應(yīng)溫度的變化，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“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.”咖啡是發(fā)展中國(guó)家的第二大貿(mào)易商品，而生產(chǎn)國(guó)無(wú)法出口咖啡，可能會(huì)在其經(jīng)濟(jì)中引發(fā)巨大的連鎖反應(yīng))和最后一段中的“Not only that, but the economic effects will cost the West millions in increased foreign aid.”不僅如此，其經(jīng)濟(jì)影響還將使西方國(guó)家在增加對(duì)外援助方面損失數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元。由此推斷出，這些小的變化也可能產(chǎn)生大的影響，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.”一份新的報(bào)告表明，氣候變化的影響可能會(huì)顯著影響咖啡。和第五段中的“Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half.”事實(shí)上，研究表明，到2050年，世界上適合種植咖啡的面積將減少一半。由此推斷出，作者對(duì)咖啡生產(chǎn)的未來(lái)很擔(dān)憂，故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇社會(huì)類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Looking to have a rest after the working days？Check out to see if the following events are in your area！Northside FestivalDescription: The music festival consists of artists, such as Sidney Gish and Orion Sun, free cake for everyone!

Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long selfanalysis known as the journalism credibility project. Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly lowlevel findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, bined with lots of headscratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want. But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they report each day39。s events. In other words, there is a traditional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a readymade narrative structure for otherwise confusing news. There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the standard patterns of the newsroom seem foreign to many readers. In a rec
