Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?
When people argue about whether coffee is good for health,they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart?Does it increase blood pressure?Does it help you concentrate?However,coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.
Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy（树冠）of taller indigenous（土生土长的）trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees.At first,this increases production because more coffee bushes can be plan-ted if there aren't any trees.With increased production come increased profits.
Unfortunately,deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators（捕食者）in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore,in the long term,the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee.The fertilizers and pesti- cides kill insects that eat coffee plant,but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately,farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade .We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as"shade grown" and"bird friendly."Sure,these varieties might cost a little more.But we're paying for the health of the birds,the land,ourselves,and the planet. I think it's worth it.The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT______.
A: insects
B: air
C: birds
D: humans答案：B解析：主旨大意题。文章首段提出咖啡对人类健康的影响，紧接着三段讲述全日照咖啡对生态环境的破坏，最后一段讲述美国中部和南部的农民在树荫下种植咖啡，引出文章主旨，并鼓励人们买这种咖啡。因此本题选D。
文章由传统（traditionally）种植咖啡的方法（full-sun method）发展到现在种植咖啡的方法（shade-grown)，显而易见，traditionally是用来展示咖啡种植的变化。
由文章第二段中的“At first, this increases production... With increased production come increased profits.”可知，全日照咖啡的增产带来了更高的利润。故本题选D。
根据第二段中的“However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees.”可知，农民们通过砍伐森林来获得更多的土地。
文章第四段提到了全日照咖啡种植的影响，包括对昆虫，鸟，其他动物，水，甚至人类的影响，但并没有提到对空气的影响。因此选择B。 -

Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.The Arabic legend is used to prove that

正确答案： C解析：
文中第一段在提出一些人的“仓库式”观点后指出“Instead, the fact seems to be that the first storehouse in which man found himself was only one in a series”，与此相反，事实上似乎那第一个仓库只是一系列仓库中的一个。可见，人们对现有的自然资源的开发和利用还只是初步的阶段，总会有新的探索和发现，故答案为A。B选项不严密，似乎是说人们主观能动地把自然资源分阶段使用，而事实并非如此。C选项在文中有明确提及，不属“推断”的范畴。 -

EDGEWOOD - Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs. Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks. "Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher. The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers. Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content? Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines. The whole school has joined in to help. Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.
59．What is the text mainly about?
A．A best-selling coffee.
B．A special educational program.
C．Government support for schools.
D．A new type of teacher-student relationship.

Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?
When people argue about whether coffee is good for health,they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart?Does it increase blood pressure?Does it help you concentrate?However,coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.
Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy（树冠）of taller indigenous（土生土长的）trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees.At first,this increases production because more coffee bushes can be plan-ted if there aren't any trees.With increased production come increased profits.
Unfortunately,deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators（捕食者）in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore,in the long term,the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee.The fertilizers and pesti- cides kill insects that eat coffee plant,but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately,farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade .We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as"shade grown" and"bird friendly."Sure,these varieties might cost a little more.But we're paying for the health of the birds,the land,ourselves,and the planet. I think it's worth it.The function of the word"Traditionally"in Paragraph 2 is to show______.
A: the positive effects of coffee
B: a change of coffee growth
C: something that is the most important
D: how coffee production used to be答案：B解析：主旨大意题。文章首段提出咖啡对人类健康的影响，紧接着三段讲述全日照咖啡对生态环境的破坏，最后一段讲述美国中部和南部的农民在树荫下种植咖啡，引出文章主旨，并鼓励人们买这种咖啡。因此本题选D。
文章由传统（traditionally）种植咖啡的方法（full-sun method）发展到现在种植咖啡的方法（shade-grown)，显而易见，traditionally是用来展示咖啡种植的变化。
由文章第二段中的“At first, this increases production... With increased production come increased profits.”可知，全日照咖啡的增产带来了更高的利润。故本题选D。
根据第二段中的“However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees.”可知，农民们通过砍伐森林来获得更多的土地。
文章第四段提到了全日照咖啡种植的影响，包括对昆虫，鸟，其他动物，水，甚至人类的影响，但并没有提到对空气的影响。因此选择B。 -

New Foods and the New World
In the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.“Some”in“some still exist today”(Para. 1)means______.
A:some cocoa trees
B: some chocolate drinks

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.Coffee originally came from_______.
A:.Brazil
B: Colombia
C:Ethiopia
D: Arabia答案：C解析：细节题。第一段第一句： In the last 500 years , nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas , or languages—has changed as much as what they eat.（在过去的500年中，没有任何关于人类的东西，如他们的衣服，观点或语言，会像他们吃的食物变化那么大）同时使用比较级和否定词表示最高级，意思恰恰就是A选项的内容。
细节题。从第一段最后两句话：London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.（在伦敦，供应巧克力饮料的店铺成为了重要的聚会地点。直到今天还存在一些这样的店铺）可以推断这里的some指的就是London shops。
细节题。第二段第三句：Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “ Potato Famine ” of 1845～1846.（爱尔兰人非常依赖土豆，在1845年到1846年期间的土豆饥荒中成千上万的爱尔兰人由于土豆欠收而挨俄）。强调the crop failed , the crop即potato。 A项没有说明土豆欠收这个关键事实；B项是starve导致的结果，并非原因;C项文章并未提及。
细节题。根据第三段倒数第二句：But it is native（本土的、当地的）to Ethiopia．句中it即指coffee，意思是咖啡最早产自埃塞俄比亚。A、B项和But it is native to Ethiopia矛盾；根据第三段最后一句：Arabs最早将咖啡制作为饮品。可以推断D是错误的。
推断题。第三段最后一句：It ( coffee ) was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.最后一段讲述这个阿拉伯传说就是为了证明阿位伯人首先发明了咖啡这种饮品，即D选项的内容。 -

单选题Which of the following questions is answered according to the information given in the passage?AWhat is the toxin used by the fish killer?
BWho first discovered the organism?
CHow does the fish killer paralyze fish?
DHow many fishes can the organism kill each day?
正确答案： C解析：
是非题。选项C为答案第三段第二至四句描述了the fish killer如何杀死鱼类的过程。首先向水中、空气中sends neurotoxins（释放神经毒素）来麻痹鱼类的神经系统，从而使得鱼类游到水面来呼吸。最终当鱼类窒息而死时，然后它就attaches itself to the fish and begins sucking away at its flesh（附着在鱼身上并吸食其肉）。因此选C。 -
第20题：
问答题Practice 7 When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too. Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy (树冠) of taller indigenous (土生土长的) trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits. Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators (捕食者) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there. Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink. Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and "bird friendly." Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it's worth it.正确答案：

当人们讨论咖啡是否有益于健康时,通常情况下,他们考虑的是喝咖啡的人的健康。咖啡对你的心脏有好处吗?会增高血压吗?会帮助你提高注意力吗?其实,咖啡还通过其他途径影响着人类的健康。
按传统,咖啡灌木丛都种植在土生土长的大树树冠之下。但是,在拉丁美洲越来越多的农民通过砍伐森林将咖啡种植在阳光充足的旷野上。刚开始,因为没有了那么多的树木,种植的咖啡灌木增多了,咖啡的产量因此增长了。产量增长了,利润就增加了。
可惜的是,为增加咖啡产量而砍伐森林,这很快就使当地的野生动物栖息地变少。当地的鸟类需要在大树上筑巢,而且为了躲避捕食者也需要藏在大树里。还有迁徙而来的鸟儿也要在那些大树上休息。
而且,从长远来看,这种充足阳光的种植方法会破坏生态系统,因为如果用这种方法种植咖啡,就需要用更多的化学肥料和杀虫剂。化肥和杀虫剂可以杀掉那些伤害咖啡作物的昆虫,但是随后鸟儿吃下中毒的昆虫之后也会死掉。化学药品还会杀死其它动物,或者让它们患病,甚至最终会进入到人们的饮用水之中。
庆幸的是,美国中部和南部的农民开始更多地在避光处种植咖啡。如果我们购买标签上写有如“避光生长”或“鸟类无害”的咖啡,那么我们就可以通过这种方法支持那些农民。当然,这些种类的咖啡价格较高。但是,我们是为了鸟儿、大地、我们自己以及地球的健康买单。我认为这是值得的。解析： 暂无解析 -
