The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately,fullsun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shadegrown production to fullsun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.
On a local level, the damage of the forest required by fullsun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species (物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Fullsun coffee growers destroy this forest home.As a result, many species are quickly dying out.
On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for fullsun coffee fields also threatens (威胁) human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition, new coffeegrowing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.
Both locally and globally, the continued spread of fullsun coffee plantations (种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that the loss of oxygengiving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic (酸性的) soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shadegrown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.
()1.What can we learn about fullsun coffee production from Paragraph 4?
A.It limits the spread of new growing techniques.
B.It leads to air pollution and global warming.
C.It slows down the loss of shade trees.
D.It improves local soil conditions.
()2.The purpose of the text is to ________.
A.entertain B.advertise
C.instruct D.persuade
()3.Where does this text probably come from?
A.An agricultural magazine.
B.A medical journal.
C.An engineering textbook.
D.A tourist guide.
()4.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
(P:Paragraph)
【主旨大意】 本文介绍了当今咖啡树种植的变化——由传统的遮阴种植变为阳光种植,给当地和全球的自然环境带来了破坏性的影响,作者呼吁人们吃传统方式种植的咖啡,以保护环境。
1.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。第四段倒数第二句“studies show that the loss of oxygengiving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming”表明全阳光的咖啡生产导致树木的供氧,从而导致空气的污染和全球变暖。A 项、C 项、D项均与本段不符,故选 B项。
2.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到了作者的态度“But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shadegrown coffee…The future of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.”作者呼吁消费者购买遮阴生产的咖啡,哪怕多花一点钱。由此可知D项正确,persuade意为“说服”。A项entertain意为“娱乐;招待”,B 项 advertise意为“做广告”,C项instruct意为“指导”。
3.【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。本文讲的是咖啡树的种植和咖啡的生产,与农业有关,故选 A项。
4.【答案】A
【解析】文章结构题。本文的结构:“总——分 ——总”,第一段是总体介绍,第二至第四段是分论点,段落主题词分别是“on a local level”, “on a more global level, both locally and globally,” 第三段是作者的态度和倡议。故选A项。
B
Pierre is a 25yearold penguin at the California Academy of Sciences. Due to his old age,he was going bald,which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.
Unlike marine(海生的)
mammals,which have a layer of blubber(鲸脂) to keep them
warm,penguins depend on their waterproof feathers. Without them,Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.
“He was cold:he would shake,”said Pam Schaller,a senior biologist. Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific,why not make one for Pierre?
Schaller designed the suit,which covered Pierre's body and had small openings for his flippers.
“I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable.”she said.
One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit,but in fact,they accepted his new look. He swam freely and got along with others well,although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.
Schaller couldn't say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers,but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable.”
Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.
()5.Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because of________.
A.not having a layer of blubber
B.having few feathers due to old age
C.having no wetsuit
D.others penguins rejecting him
()6. The idea of making a wetsuit for Pierre came from________.
A.total invention
B.the use of wetsuit on humans
C.the use of heat lamp
D.waterproof feathers
()7. Schaller followed Pierre in order to see________.
A.whether other penguins would reject him
B.if anywhere of wetsuit needed to be cut and refit
C.if the wetsuit kept warm
D.whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from recovering
()8. The best title for the passage is“________”.
A.Wetsuit for An Old Penguin
B.Old Penguin Getting Bald
C.Unwilling to Swim
D.Strange Look of Pierre
【主旨大意】人们印象中,企鹅应该不怕冷。而生活在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山加州科学院水族馆的一只斑嘴环企鹅,由于羽毛脱落而无法忍受冰冷的池水。为此,加州科学院研究人员特地为这只企鹅穿上“防寒服”,让它能够与同伴一样在水中游泳嬉戏。
5.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段说明了Pierre怕冷的原因“Due to his old age, he was going bald, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool.”由于他的年龄,他是秃头,这使他感觉太冷而不能在游泳池里游泳。故选B。
6.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。文章第三段讲述了Pam想出这个办法的过程“Then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific, why not make one for Pierre?”然后她得到另一个想法:雨衣让人类在寒冷的太平洋保持温暖,为什么不为Pierre做一件呢?因此可知选B。
7.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。文章第五段说明了Pam跟踪Pierre的原因“I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable”我将在他后面走路,看看有没有任何空隙。改装、裁剪、再改装,直到它看起来它别的合适。因此可知选B。
8.【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。全篇讲述的是生物学家给一只老企鹅做保暖夹克,帮它重返泳池的故事。因此A项正确。
