eir 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。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,推理判斷和詞義猜測三個(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,并進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,選出正確答案。最后一句指這些因素,加上沙漠表面下淺色地下土壤的存在,給那些想要永久留下印記的藝術(shù)家提供了一個(gè)巨大的書寫板。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the bination of the climate and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level.”可知因?yàn)檫@里干燥少雨的氣候和平坦多石的地形使地畫能很好的被保留,故選C。根據(jù)第二段中的“Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers,maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan?”四方面使人迷惑的問題,可知這四個(gè)因素使the Nazca Lines更獨(dú)特更使人們難忘,故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地畫) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.”及對(duì)The Nazca Lines圖案和發(fā)現(xiàn)過程的具體介紹,可知the Nazca Lines是出現(xiàn)在秘魯南部Nazca沙漠的大型古代地畫,故選D。Highend.【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了出現(xiàn)在秘魯南部Nazca沙漠的大型古代地畫The Nazca Lines,其神奇之處及形成原因。Reallife.Everlasting.Nonstop.D.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the wind at ground level.D.C.B.They are huge markings in a desert(2)How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive? A.They are ancient lines in caves.B. The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the bination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蝕) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, bined with the existence of lightercolored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.(1)What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs? A. The Lines were first spotted when mercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920,s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers,maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.4.閱讀理解選D。根據(jù)最后一段中的“On the other hand, maybe McDonald39。選C。(3)考查推理判斷。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段可知,到處都可以發(fā)現(xiàn)美國對(duì)西班牙的影響。穿著習(xí)慣和生活習(xí)慣都極大影響了西班牙人。D.The name of a restaurant.C.To unite European Communities.(4)What do you think Spanish tapas might be?

In any case, it39。s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It39。s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people, The Spanish people normally eat at home.s different with Western fast food. For example, I don39。ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people39。 In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信
