第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
There are apps for almost everything. Here are some of the best free apps that are well received by smartphone users.
StorySign
StorySign is designed to help deaf children learn to read. With a book in hand, just point your phone’s camera at the page and an animated character in StorySign will read the page in sign language. And children will both enjoy the books and learn to read in the process. Even in its limited form, StorySign is well worth trying if you have a deaf child young enough to appreciate it, but we expect this app will keep getting better as its library grows.
PlantNet
Wherever you are, chances are there are hundreds of different plant species within walking distance, and most of us have no idea what all but the most common are called. PlantNet aims to make identifying them easier — simply take a photo and the app will attempt to identify what kind of plant you’re seeing.
Google Photos
Google Photos stands out among hundreds of photo apps, as it gives you unlimited storage for photos and videos. But with basic editing tools and the ability to make albums, it’s more than just photo and video storage. It aims to be your first and last step after taking a picture. To achieve that, it will need a few more steps, but it’s well on its way.
Soon
Soon is an app that lets you create lists of books you want to read, movies you want to watch, restaurants you want to try and more. You can select from a number of categories, including games, shops, bars, museums and TV shows and then make a list of the ones that interest you. It’s a great app for anyone struggling to remember the things they want to watch, visit, read, play and listen to.
21. Who is StorySign mainly intended for?
A. Any child fond of stories. B. Children with hearing loss.
C. Any child who enjoys reading. D. Children interested in sign language.
22. What do Google Photos and StorySign share?
A. They both need improving. B. They both allow users to share.
C. They both offer unlimited storage. D. They both focus on photos and videos.
23. What can we learn about the apps from the text?
A. Users can learn to write and talk through StorySign.
B. Google Photos can only be used to store data.
C. PlantNet helps identify plant or animal.
D. Soon is especially suitable for forgetful people.

B
Tufa grew up in Australia, so she couldn't understand why her father insisted on teaching her Oromo, a language spoken in Ethiopia.
“Dad never spoke about his life back in Ethiopia and yet he insisted on teaching us this language," Tufa said. “There were so many resources at my fingertips for the other languages I was learning and so many people that speak them. But when Dad was teaching us Oromo, there were no textbooks or learning materials at all. And that struck me as really strange."
But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking about Oromo was so painful for her father. The Oromo are the largest racial group of Ethiopia. But since their land was seized in the 1880s, the people have suffered a lot. The Oromo language was banned, including from political life and schools. Oromo texts were destroyed. Tufa's father, an Oromo, fled to Egypt and, in the late 1970s, he was given asylum（庇护）in Australia.
By the time the Oromo ban was lifted, Tufa's father had established a small, private Oromo school in Melbourne to teach the language to the children of asylum seekers. As she helped to teach the students, Tufa realised the teaching resources were awful. She decided to create posters and worksheets for her father's students, using her own money to get them printed.
Three other Oromo schools that had opened in Victoria by then heard about the materials and all of them wanted copies. Tufa realised that if there was a demand for Oromo child education materials in Australia, there must be other communities around the world where resources were also needed.
She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials. By the end of 2014, in just six weeks, she had raised almost $125,000. Word of her project spread. Her resources have also found their way to Ethiopia, with people sending copies to family members who still live there. This year, she plans to launch an online store for her publishing company.
24. What did Tufa feel strange about when learning Oromo?
A. Her father's life in Ethiopia. B. Her father's way of teaching.
C. The lack of learning materials. D. The appearance of other languages.
25. What is the purpose of the third paragraph?
A. To explain a reason. B. To give an example.
C. To present an argument. D. To clear a misunderstanding.
26. How did Tufa meet the increasing demand for Oromo learning materials?
A. She crowdfunded. B. She turned to his father.
C. She dipped into her own pocket. D. She created posters and worksheets.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why the Oromo suffered in Ethiopia. B. Where the Oromo language is taught.
C. How a girl helps to keep Oromo alive. D. What schools need in teaching Oromo.

C
Pinocchio may be just a children’s story, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow longer when we tell a lie, but actually get a little bit smaller.
Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermal (热成像的) cameras to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. They also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to become slightly smaller, although the difference could not be seen by the human eye. “One has to think in order to lie, which raises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal cameras. One of these tasks involved making a 3-to-4-minute call to their parents, partners or friends and telling an important lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “opposite Pinocchio effect” caused by the changes in temperature in the nose and forehead.
Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test participants, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector used by the police. “With this method we have increased accuracy and reduce the chances of ‘false positives’, something that is frequent with other methods,” said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that police could one day combine other lie detection technology with their technology to achieve better results.
28. Why did the temperature of the participants’ foreheads go up during the test?
A. They felt ashamed. B. They had to think hard.
C. They were scared. D. They got embarrassed.
29. What phenomenon does the “opposite Pinocchio effect” refer to?
A. The nose becomes smaller. B. The nose gets longer.
C. The temperature gets higher. D. The temperature remains the same.
30. What can we learn about the research?
A. The thermal lie detector may assist the police.
B. The thermal lie detector has proven a popular one.
C. Researchers conducted the study by interviewing.
D. Researchers designed different lies for participants.
31. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. Will Lie Detectors Tell the Truth? B. Will Thermal Technology Be Reliable?
C. Will Lying Make Your Nose Longer? D. Will Lying Make Your Temperature Rise?

D
Climate change demands a food revolution. Faced with heat, drought, pests and diseases, the crops we eat every day might disappear in a generation or less, at least where they are currently grown. From beef and fish to chocolate and wine, one beloved food after another is joining the at-risk list.
Take coffee. Right now, Arabica and Canephora, the most popular two species in the industry, are under urgent threat worldwide—as are the 125 million people who depend on coffee crops for their income. Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be negatively affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.
In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by 1. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have significant effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by 45% since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.
Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by 60%. 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.
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; their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.
As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become 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.
32. Which is NOT one of the contributors to the disappearing food species?
A. Drought. B. Poverty. C. Climate change. D. Pests.

33. How does the author prove the effects of climate change on coffee planting?
A. By listing examples of foods. B. By making a comparison.
C. By making a prediction. D. By presenting figures.
34. Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas?
A. To adapt to the change of temperature. B. To increase the quality of the produce.
C. To reduce the cost of coffee production. D. To get access to water supply more easily.
35. What can be learnt from the last two paragraphs?
A. The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.
B. It will cost you less to have a cup of coffee.
C. Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.
D. Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.

For four years, as a coordinator(协调员) for the Harvard First Generation Program, I have
been sharing bits and pieces of my college experience on this blog. 36
The most important lesson I learned in college is that you have to give yourself space and time to grow. When I arrived at Harvard, I thought all my college experiences were just the means to the larger end of stability, success, and happiness. 37 Keep your goals in mind and allow them to grow as you push beyond your comfort zone.
Be willing to change your mind. It feels great to win, but you'll always learn more from your mistakes than you'll learn from the things you got right the first time. Over time, I learned to make space to be a better listener, and to admit when I'm wrong. 38
39 I was used to handling life without much external guidance. I thought asking for help was equal to admitting defeat, but that wasn't true. Once I realized that, it became easier to allow myself to rely on friends for support when I really needed it.
As graduation approaches, I often think about a quote by Morrison: “When you get jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. 40 ” I don't know what I'll be doing in five or ten years, but I will be using the resources at my command to live happily with others.
A. Don't hesitate to turn to others when necessary.
B. Learn to absorb new ideas while remaining true to yourself.
C. It's OK to care about those things, but don't box yourself in.
D. It can be hard in the moment, but it's valuable in the long run.
E. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.
F. Here are some suggestions for those who are to start or finish college.
G. So I'd like to share some unforgettable moments about my college life.

Tufa grew up in Australia, so she couldn't understand why her father insisted on teaching her Oromo, a language spoken in Ethiopia.
“Dad never spoke about his life back in Ethiopia and yet he insisted on teaching us this language," Tufa said. “There were so many resources at my fingertips for the other languages I was learning and so many people that speak them. But when Dad was teaching us Oromo, there were no textbooks or learning materials at all. And that struck me as really strange."
But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking about Oromo was so painful for her father. The Oromo are the largest racial group of Ethiopia. But since their land was seized in the 1880s, the people have suffered a lot. The Oromo language was banned, including from political life and schools. Oromo texts were destroyed. Tufa's father, an Oromo, fled to Egypt and, in the late 1970s, he was given asylum（庇护）in Australia.
By the time the Oromo ban was lifted, Tufa's father had established a small, private Oromo school in Melbourne to teach the language to the children of asylum seekers. As she helped to teach the students, Tufa realised the teaching resources were awful. She decided to create posters and worksheets for her father's students, using her own money to get them printed.
Three other Oromo schools that had opened in Victoria by then heard about the materials and all of them wanted copies. Tufa realised that if there was a demand for Oromo child education materials in Australia, there must be other communities around the world where resources were also needed.
She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials. By the end of 2014, in just six weeks, she had raised almost $125,000. Word of her project spread. Her resources have also found their way to Ethiopia, with people sending copies to family members who still live there. This year, she plans to launch an online store for her publishing company.
4. What did Tufa feel strange about when learning Oromo?
A. Her father's life in Ethiopia.
B. Her father's way of teaching.
C. The lack of learning materials.
D. The appearance of other languages.
5. What is the purpose of the third paragraph?
A. To explain a reason.
B. To give an example.
C. To present an argument.
D. To clear a misunderstanding.
6. How did Tufa meet the increasing demand for Oromo learning materials?
A. She crowdfunded.
B. She turned to his father.
C. She dipped into her own pocket.
D. She created posters and worksheets.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why the Oromo suffered in Ethiopia.
B. Where the Oromo language is taught.
C. How a girl helps to keep Oromo alive.
D. What schools need in teaching Oromo.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女孩Tufa为帮助父亲教学几近消亡的奥罗莫语而自行制订和印刷教材，并通过众筹等方式让这些教材能被更多人使用的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“But when Dad was teaching us Oromo, there were no textbooks or learning materials at all. And that struck me as really strange.”(但当爸爸教我们奥罗莫语时，根本没有教科书或学习材料。这让我觉得很奇怪。)可知，Tufa对学习奥罗莫语时缺乏学习资料感到奇怪。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking about Oromo was so painful for her father.”(但随着Tufa长大并开始自己的研究，她发现了为什么说起奥罗莫会让她的父亲如此痛苦。 )可知，第三段是为了解释原因。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials.”(她发起了一项众筹活动，这样她就可以印刷更多的奥罗莫语学习材料。)可知，Tufa通过众筹满足对奥罗莫语学习材料不断增长的需求。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tufa grew up in Australia, so she couldn't understand why her father insisted on teaching her Oromo, a language spoken in Ethiopia.”(Tufa在澳大利亚长大，所以她不明白为什么她的父亲坚持教她奥罗莫语，一种埃塞俄比亚人说的语言。)可知，文章前两段是讲Tufa的父亲坚持教她奥罗莫语，这让她无法理解。根据第三段第一句 “But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking about Oromo was so painful for her father.”(但随着Tufa长大并开始自己的研究，她发现了为什么说起奥罗莫会让她的父亲如此痛苦。)可知，第三段讲述了背后的原因，表明因为国家领土被占领，奥罗莫语被禁止，几近消亡。根据第四段最后两句 “As she helped to teach the students, Tufa realised the teaching resources were awful. She decided to create posters and worksheets for her father's students, using her own money to get them printed.”(当她帮助教学生时，Tufa意识到教学资源很糟糕。她决定为她父亲的学生制作海报和活页练习题，用自己的钱印刷 。)可知，Tufa为了帮助学生学习奥罗莫语，自己制订并印刷了教学材料。根据第五段最后一句 “Tufa realised that if there was a demand for Oromo child education materials in Australia, there must be other communities around the world where resources were also needed.”(Tufa意识到，如果澳大利亚对奥罗莫儿童教育材料有需求，那么世界上一定有其他社区也需要这些资源。 )和第六段第一句 “She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials. ”(她发起了一项众筹活动，这样她就可以印刷更多的奥罗莫学习材料。)可知，为了满足更多的需求，Tufa发起了一项众筹活动来印刷更多的奥罗莫学习材料。根据第六段最后两句 “Her resources have also found their way to Ethiopia, with people sending copies to family members who still live there. This year, she plans to launch an online store for her publishing company.”(她的资源也传到了埃塞俄比亚，人们把印刷本寄给仍住在那里的家人。今年，她计划为自己的出版公司开设一个网上商店 。)可知，此处是讲Tufa的奥罗莫学习材料的发展现状良好，日益壮大。所以这篇文章主要是讲女孩Tufa通过努力帮助奥罗莫语重获新生。故选C。

Pinocchio may be just a children’s story, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow longer when we tell a lie, but actually get a little bit smaller.
Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermal (热成像的) cameras to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. They also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to become slightly smaller, although the difference could not be seen by the human eye. “One has to think in order to lie, which raises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal cameras. One of these tasks involved making a 3-to-4-minute call to their parents, partners or friends and telling an important lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “opposite Pinocchio effect” caused by the changes in temperature in the nose and forehead.
Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test participants, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector used by the police. “With this method we have increased accuracy and reduce the chances of ‘false positives’, something that is frequent with other methods,” said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that police could one day combine other lie detection technology with their technology to achieve better results.
8. Why did the temperature of the participants’ foreheads go up during the test?
A. They felt ashamed. B. They had to think hard.
C. They were scared. D. They got embarrassed.
9. What phenomenon does the “opposite Pinocchio effect” refer to?
A. The nose becomes smaller. B. The nose gets longer.
C. The temperature gets higher. D. The temperature remains the same.
10. What can we learn about the research?
A. The thermal lie detector may assist the police.
B. The thermal lie detector has proven a popular one.
C. Researchers conducted the study by interviewing.
D. Researchers designed different lies for participants.
11. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. Will Lie Detectors Tell the Truth? B. Will Thermal Technology Be Reliable?
C. Will Lying Make Your Nose Longer? D. Will Lying Make Your Temperature Rise?
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西班牙科学家最近发现的一个“反皮诺曹效应”：人们在撒谎的时候，鼻子不是变长，而是变小。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的倒数第二句中“One has to think in order to lie, which raises the temperature of the forehead.”（一个人必须思考才能撒谎，这会提高额头的温度。）可知，被试在测试中额头温度升高是因为他们在仔细思考。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。匹诺曹的故事里，匹诺曹撒谎时，鼻子会变长，但是根据第一段“Pinocchio may be just a children’s story, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called ‘Pinocchio effect’ and found that our noses don’t grow longer when we tell a lie, but actually get a little bit smaller.”（匹诺曹兴许只是儿童故事，但是格拉纳达大学的西班牙科学家最近研究了所谓的“匹诺曹效应”，发现我们说谎时鼻子不会长，但实际上会缩小一点。）可知，研究发现撒谎时鼻子会缩小，与匹诺曹的故事相反，说明“反匹诺曹效应”指的是说谎时鼻子会缩小。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“‘With this method we have increased accuracy and reduce the chances of ‘false positives’, something that is frequent with other methods,’ said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that police could one day combine other lie detection technology with their technology to achieve better results”（戈麦斯·米兰博士说：“我们用这种方法提高了测谎准确率，降低了误报的发生率，而其他方法经常会出现误报。”他还说，警察可能有一天能够把热成像技术和其他测谎技术结合起来以达到更准确的结果。）可知，如果警察日后能够将热成像技术和其他测谎技术结合起来，那么就会有更好的结果，说明热成像测谎仪也许能够帮助警察。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段“Pinocchio may be just a children’s story, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called ‘Pinocchio effect’ and found that our noses don’t grow longer when we tell a lie, but actually get a little bit smaller.”（匹诺曹兴许只是儿童故事，但是格拉纳达大学的西班牙科学家最近研究了所谓的“匹诺曹效应”，发现我们说谎时鼻子不会长，但实际上会缩小一点。）可知，文章由匹诺曹为切入点，介绍了一个研究，该研究发现人在撒谎时鼻尖温度会降低，这会导致鼻子稍微变小——这就是“反匹诺曹效应”。所以C项“撒谎会让你的鼻子变长吗？”最适合作为本文标题。故选C项。
D
Climate change demands a food revolution. Faced with heat, drought, pests and diseases, the crops we eat every day might disappear in a generation or less, at least where they are currently grown. From beef and fish to chocolate and wine, one beloved food after another is joining the at-risk list.
Take coffee. Right now, Arabica and Canephora, the most popular two species in the industry, are under urgent threat worldwide—as are the 125 million people who depend on coffee crops for their income. Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be negatively affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.
In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by 1. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have significant effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by 45% since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.
Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by 60%. 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.
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; their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.
As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become 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.
12. Which is NOT one of the contributors to the disappearing food species?
A. Drought. B. Poverty. C. Climate change. D. Pests.
13. How does the author prove the effects of climate change on coffee planting?
A. By listing examples of foods. B. By making a comparison.
C. By making a prediction. D. By presenting figures.
14. Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas?
A. To adapt to the change of temperature. B. To increase the quality of the produce.
C. To reduce the cost of coffee production. D. To get access to water supply more easily.
15. What can be learnt from the last two paragraphs?
A. The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.
B. It will cost you less to have a cup of coffee.
C. Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.
D. Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述气候变化会显著影响咖啡，如咖啡的产量、价格和成产成本等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Faced with heat, drought, pests and diseases, the crops we eat every day might disappear in a generation or less, at least where they are currently grown.(面对高温、干旱、病虫害，我们每天食用的作物可能在一代人或更短的时间内消失，至少在目前种植的地方是这样)”可知，高温、干旱和病虫害会导致食物物种的消失。而B选项中的poverty在文中并未提及。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by 45% since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.(自20世纪60年代以来，由于温度变化，坦桑尼亚每公顷咖啡的生产率下降了45%)”以及第四段“Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by 60%.(事实上，研究表明，到2050年，世界上适合种植咖啡的地区将减少60%)”可推断，作者是通过展示温度对咖啡造成具体影响的数据证明气候变化对咖啡种植的影响的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“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.(咖啡生产很可能会被推到海拔更高的地方，以利用较低的温度，但这不足以弥补失去的低地地区)”可知，人们在高海拔地区种植咖啡是为了利用较低的气温，适应温度的变化，来提升咖啡的产量。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“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. (咖啡是发展中国家第二大贸易量的商品，生产国无法出口咖啡可能会在经济中引发巨大的连锁反应)”以及倒数第一段“As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become 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. (随着气温的持续上升，你喝的咖啡会变得更贵，而且回味起来可能会比平时更苦，因为随着环境的恶化，所有那些在咖啡带工作的人都没有办法谋生)”可知，就是在咖啡上这些小的变化，结果产生了巨大的连锁反应，导致咖啡成本的上升等不良影响。从而推断，发达国家应该援助发展中国家。故选C。
