All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion—they shouldn39。re not so different after all. Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industry—even before the voices of actors were recorded.

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)。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的 “Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,” 可知這些隊(duì)伍認(rèn)為每個(gè)人都有表演的權(quán)力，所以他們想要參加節(jié)日。故選A。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。A paid administrator(行政人員) was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.
