共用题干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.What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?A: More insects.B:Better quality coffee.C:Larger farms.D:Higher profits.
选项
What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?
A: More insects.
B:Better quality coffee.
C:Larger farms.
D:Higher profits.
答案
D
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-缈wn),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。
文章第四段提一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。
