Jeremiah Letting learned abut cffee frm his father. As a child in the late 1980s, he wrked n his family’s cffee farm in the hills f western Kenya. “ Every year was the same: seed, plant, ripen, harvest and sell, ” he says.
But n lnger. Jeremiah Letting and ther cffee farmers are suffering frm rising temperatures.
Sme f the wrld’s best Cffea arabica is grwn n Munt Kenya. The plant prduces tastier beans than its pr cusin rbusta, which ften ends up in instant cffee granules (颗粒). Glbal warming may reduce the ttal area that is mst suited t grwing arabica beans by abut half by 2050, accrding t a recent published paper.
Althugh cffee is nly Kenya’s furth-largest exprt, it directly r indirectly prvides an incme fr abut 6 millin peple, which accunts fr ver a tenth f the entire ppulatin, accrding t the Kenyan gvernment. “ Peple are nt even able t have three meals a day withut a secure incme, ” Mr. Letting says.
Sme farmers are trying t adapt t warming by mving uphill. Yet this pushes them int areas lng used fr grwing tea, threatening tea grwth. Kenya’s gvernment-funded Cffee Research Institute is trying t find ther slutins, such as encuraging farmers t plant trees t shade their cffee bushes. It als suggests grwing a hybrid (杂交植物), Arabusta, t cmbine the hardiness (耐寒性) f rbusta with the flavur f arabica. Peple wh are particular abut cffee may turn up their nses at it, but they may have little chice but t swallw it.
Anther ptin may be entirely new varieties. Researchers at the Ryal Btanic Gardens in Lndn, are investigating a wild type f cffee, Cffea stenphylla. It is delicius and can als take the heat. But it prduces less cffee beans than existing varieties and it may be years befre it is widely grwn. Withut a breakthrugh f sme srt, Vern Lng f Wrld Cffee Research warns, “ We’re just ging t be drinking instant cffee. ”
28. What’s the effect f glbal warming n cffee farming?

【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前句“It als suggests grwing a hybrid (杂交植物 ), Arabusta, t cmbine the hardiness (耐寒性) f rbusta with the flavur f arabica. (它还建议种植一种杂交品种Arabusta，将rbusta的坚韧与arabica的味道结合起来。)”及后半句“but they may have little chice but t swallw it.(但他们可能别无选择，只能吞下它。)”可知，对咖啡特别挑剔的人对这种杂交品种咖啡的味道很不满意。所以turn up their nses at it为“对这种咖啡不满意”之意。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Withut a breakthrugh f sme srt, Vern Lng f Wrld Cffee Research warns, “ We’re just ging t be drinking instant cffee. ”( 世界咖啡研究的Vern Lng警告说，如果没有某种形式的突破，“我们就只能喝速溶咖啡了。”)”可推断，Vern Lng对未来的咖啡生产很担忧。故选C。

They matched pairs f children with the same age, gender and stress. “That allwed us t cmpare 16-year lds befre the stress with different 16-year lds assessed after the stress,” said Ian Gtlib, a psychlgy prfessr at Stanfrd University.
T determine the brain age f their samples, the researchers fed their brain examinatins int a machine-learning mdel fr predicting brain age develped by the ENIGMA-Brain Age wrking grup, a c-peratin amng scientists wh share their brain image data sets. They als evaluated mental health utcmes reprted by the matched pairs. They fund mre severe symptms f anxiety, depressin and internalizing(内在化的) prblems in the grup that had experienced the stress.
Dan Siegel, clinical prfessr f psychiatry at the UCLA Schl f Medicine, nted that many individuals experience pst-traumatic(创伤后的) grwth after a stressful experience. “This is a useful initial study,” agreed David Fassler, clinical prfessr f psychiatry at the University f Vermnt. “I expect the results will infrm the design f future research initiatives.”
32. What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Researchers had a gd knwledge f aging.B. Stress greatly influenced teenagers’ brains.
C. Brain grwth imprved teenagers’ happiness.D. Bad memries resulted in negative emtins.
33. What enabled scientists t d research accrding t Ian Gtlib?
A. The applicatin f advanced technlgy.B. The accurate analysis f the data prvided.
C. The participatin f vlunteer teenagers.D. The previus experience f the researchers.
34. Why was the machine-learning mdel develped?

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同宠物的身体语言及如何理解它们的情感。
【36题详解】
上文“Bdy language f pets is different based n what srt f animal yu have chsen as yur pet. If yu’re unsure f yur pet’s bdy language, cnsider reading sme articles fr yur specific animal.(宠物的肢体语言因你选择的宠物种类而异。如果你不确定宠物的肢体语言，可以考虑阅读一些针对你特定动物的文章)”说明可以通过阅读特定动物的文章，来了解不同宠物的肢体语言。空处承上启下，说明了解宠物身体语言的重要性。G项中的“Understanding yur pet’s bdy language”和上文中的“Bdy language f pets”相呼应，“help yu t be a better cmmunicatr”和下文中的“send yur message in a way it understands”相呼应，所以G项“了解宠物的肢体语言将帮助你成为一个更好的沟通者”符合语境。故选G。
【37题详解】
上文“When dgs feel stressed ut r threatened, their eyes will lk larger than nrmal. If yur dg isn’t lking directly at yu, but is lking ut f the crners f its eyes s that yu see a lt f the whites f the eyes, it might be abut t have an aggressive utburst.(当狗感到压力过大或受到威胁时，它们的眼睛会看起来比平时大。如果你的狗没有直视你，而是从眼角向外看，这样你就能看到很多眼白，它可能会爆发出攻击性的情绪)”说明狗在感到压力或受到威胁时眼睛的变化，以及这种情况下可能伴随的行为表现。空处承接上文，补充说明狗在感到攻击性时的其他身体信号。F项“如果你的狗感到有攻击性，它睁大的眼睛会伴随着僵硬的身体”符合语境，该项中的“yur dg is feeling aggressive”和上文中的“When dgs feel stressed ut r threatened”相呼应。故选F。
【38题详解】
上文“If yur cat lks at yu and blinks at yu slwly, it’s likely cmmunicating affectin. Yu can d this back at yur cat t shw yur lve, t.(如果你猫看着你，慢慢地朝你眨眼，这可能是在表达爱意。你也可以对你的猫这样做来表达你的爱)”说明猫通过缓慢眨眼表达爱意，并建议主人可以用相同方式回应以示爱。空处顺接上文，进一步说明猫的另外一种肢体语言——表达信任。E项中的“Fr cats”和上文中的“yur cat”相呼应，所以E项“对于猫来说，在别人面前闭上眼睛是一种表示信任的方式”符合语境。故选E。
【39题详解】
下文“If yur bird’s pupils (瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly, this can be a sign that it’s excited, greatly interested, scared r angry.(如果你的鸟的瞳孔迅速扩大和缩小，这可能是它兴奋、非常感兴趣、害怕或愤怒的迹象)”以及下文“Birds will shake their feathers while cleaning themselves; if their feathers remain shaking, hwever, this culd mean they’re unwell, in which case, take them t an animal dctr fr a checkup.(鸟儿在清洁自己时会抖羽毛；然而，如果它们的羽毛仍然在颤抖，这可能意味着它们身体不适，在这种情况下，带它们去动物医生那里做检查)”说明本段主要介绍了鸟类通过瞳孔和羽毛来表达情感。C项“鸟类的眼睛和羽毛很有表现力”适合作本段的主旨句。故选C。
【40题详解】
上文“If yur bird’s pupils (瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly, this can be a sign that it’s excited, greatly interested, scared r angry.(如果你的鸟的瞳孔迅速扩大和缩小，这可能是它兴奋、非常感兴趣、害怕或愤怒的迹象)”说明鸟类瞳孔快速变化可能表示的情绪。空处承接上文，进一步解释如何更准确的确定鸟类的情绪。B项中的“in telling which emtin it might be”和上文中的“excited, greatly interested, scared r angry.”相呼应，说明B项“情境对于判断它可能是哪种情绪非常重要。”符合语境。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了贾思勰在六世纪进行农业研究，并撰写《齐民要术》一书，提出多种提高作物产量的方法。
【56题详解】
考查序数词。句意：贾思勰是六世纪来自山东省的一位政府官员，他进行了大量的农业研究。由空前的“the”及空后的“century”可知，空处应填入序数词表示具体的世纪。故填sixth。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：在他的旅途中，他观察到一些农民的产量远高于其他人，因此他决定调查取得好收成的最佳方法。由空前“much better”可知，空处应用介词than，表达“比”的意思。故填than。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。根据空前的“the best ways”可知，空处应填入不定式，the best ways t d为固定短语，表示“做某事的最佳方式”。故填t attain。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：退休后，他写了一本书《齐民要术》，书中包含了对从事农业工作的人的实用建议和实践。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Qi Min Ya Shu，指物，在从句中做主语，用关系代词which。故填which。
【60题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：例如，在一条建议中，他告诉农民在种植作物之前要清除地面上的杂草。空处引导主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“……的事情”，所以用what引导该从句。故填what。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意：他们可以让动物吃掉杂草，或者翻土使杂草被覆盖。由空前“either”可知，空处应填入连词r，构成短语“either…r…”译为“或者……或者”。故填r。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：然后他就耕作提出了建议，指出秋耕的深度应该比春耕更深。由空前“a greater”可知，空处应填入名词形式，deep的名词形式为depth“深度”。故填depth。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他还建议每年轮作作物以获得更好的收成。空处应用动名词changing作suggest的宾语。故填changing。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：最后，他建议农民在同一田地里种植多样化的一系列作物。固定短语a range f译为“一系列的”。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：尽管距离贾思勰去世已经过去了几个世纪，《齐民要术》仍被认为是中国农业史上的一本重要著作。空处为since引导时间状语从句的谓语动词，句子陈述过去的事实，所以用一般过去时态。故填passed。
