There are plenty of wellqualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am openminded, I can39。 t judge a book by its cover, yet people do cover themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do panies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. Spring is ing, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not. 【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。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。 （4）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)展中國家的第二大貿(mào)易商品，而生產(chǎn)國無法出口咖啡，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)影響還將使西方國家在增加對(duì)外援助方面損失數(shù)百萬美元。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。 （2）考查推理判斷。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。 （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。到2050年，世界上適合種植咖啡的面積將減少一半。D.Unconcerned.B.Cautious.Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.D.The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.B.D.To reduce the cost of coffee productionB.To adapt to the change of temperature.D.C.B. 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. 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。 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. 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. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的the first modern style LEGO brick ... each piece would fit with any other piece”可知，現(xiàn)代的樂高積木可以彼此完全貼合，從而組裝成一個(gè)整體。根據(jù)第四段中的“A person could put the bricks together to build something.”可知，Automatic Binding Brick是一種拼裝積木，可以使用積木組裝玩具，故選C。因此可知公司規(guī)模雖小但很成功，故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“LEGO began as one man39。s the best title for the text? : Educational Toys
