A.harmfullytemporarilyslightly their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise. 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 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. Climate change is perhaps the key issue of our time. 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.7．閱讀短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選D。好的標(biāo)語在人們的頭腦中留下了一個(gè)信息。根據(jù)第二段中的“The slogan helps people understand the brand better by telling them what it wants to sell to its customers.
