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. 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. 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. their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.slightlytemporarilyharmfullygradually（2）Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas? A.To increase the quality of the products.C.To get access to water supply more easily.（3）What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs?
