ty per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature. 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。 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.B.C.D.To adapt to the change of temperature.B.To reduce the cost of coffee productionD.The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.B.Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.D.Cautious.B.Unconcerned.D.到2050年,世界上適合種植咖啡的面積將減少一半。 (1)考查詞義猜測(cè)。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。 (2)考查推理判斷。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。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(guó)家的第二大貿(mào)易商品,而生產(chǎn)國(guó)無(wú)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(guó)家在增加對(duì)外援助方面損失數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元。 (4)考查推理判斷。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。 【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。 On the banks of Tanzania39。s last huntergatherer tribe (部落) — the Hadza.
