【正文】 se 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.slightlyB.temporarilyC.harmfullyD.gradually（2）Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas? 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? A.Cautious.B.Worried.C.Unconcerned.D.Hopeful.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，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 On the banks of Tanzania39。s Lake Eyasi lives the world39。s last huntergatherer tribe (部落) — the Hadza. They don39。t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years. Their world is one of plete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don39。t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe. We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and maneating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry. The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us. The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest stillspoken language known to man. The Hadza don39。t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need. Unlike modernday office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” — hunting for food — takes up around five hours of their day. They39。ve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.（1）We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______. A.lead a very simple lifeB.live on traditional agricultureC.have their own system of currencyD.show a lot of interest in new technology（2）Which of the following can describe the Hadza39。s environment? A.Stressful.B.Comfortable.C.Exciting.D.Dangerous.（3）The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______. A.is going wrongB.is full of conflictC.is in perfect harmonyD.is changing all the time（4）Why does the author e to visit the Hadza?
