The price of coffee beans hits a 12 – year high today. I thought there might

be some kind of coffee – market story, like we saw with cocoa earlier this summer.

But the main driver of coffee prices right now is simpler: Colombia has had

a few years of weak coffee harvests because of too much rain, which has reduced

the global supply. And coffee drinkers keep buying coffee, even as prices rise, in

other words, demand is unchanged.

The higher price of beans – up about 40 percent since March – means higher prices for the coffee you buy by the pound. But it probably won’t affect the coffee you buy by the cup.

Smuckers, which sells Folgers and Millstone coffees, recently said it was raising its prices because of the higher cost of beans. Starbucks, however, said it would absorb the higher cost of beans without raising prices.

“You see it much more in the grocery store because the raw materials are a big factor of cost,” Jose Sette of the International Coffee Organization told me. “In a coffee shop, your big expenses are rent and labor.”

While real – world supply and demand is the big driver of the price of beans, there may be some speculative action in coffee business in the future.

But futures (期貨) of the high – grade Arabica beans are traded in the US, where regulations prevent speculators (投機(jī)商) from controlling the market, hoping such things won’t happen just as in London summer market. That suggests that prices should fall when supply improves – which may happen next year.

Some experts say that farmers in third world countries won’t actually benefit from higher prices in this case. When the price difference is due to supply and demand, the profit of the seller usually doesn’t go up.

1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

    A．Why coffee is getting more expensive?

    B．How farmer benefits from the high price?

    C．Whether the US will control the coffee market?

    D．What has caused the reduction of coffee?

2.From the second paragraph we can infer that _______________________.

    A．Colombia is the coffee trading center of the world

    B．Colombia coffee output contains a final share of the world

    C．People need more and more coffee

    D．Coffee sales will be getting less and less

3.In this summer’s coffee bean market, ____________________________.

    A．the US made more rules about coffee prices

    B．speculators once held the coffee bean market in London

    C．coffee bean trading was seriously disorganized

    D．coffee bean prices were very low in the US

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

    A．The price difference determines the profit of the seller.

    B．Smuckers is a famous coffee manufacturer.

    C．Real – world supply and demand decides the prices.

    D．Coffee prices will become much higher next year.

III. 閱讀 (共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)

第一節(jié)：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C 和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

As goods and services improved, people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new, and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets, for example, its costs (and therefore air fare) would go up, but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wireless, washing machine, electric kettle) made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of replacement was fully repaid. Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever, but are the improvements really worth paying for? In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets, in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements. If we abandon these vast costs we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times; but wouldn’t it be better to see airfares drop dramatically, as capital costs become relatively insignificant? Again, in the context of a 70 m. p. h. Limit, with lines of cars traveling so close as to control each other’s speeds, improvements in performance are actually irrelevant; improvements in handling are unnecessary, as most production cars grip（抓牢） the road perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars — or wireless, electric kettles, washing machines, television sets — which are made to last, and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing, but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.

1. The author is obviously challenging the social norm (社會(huì)規(guī)范) that ________________.

A. it is important to improve goods and services

B. development of technology makes our life more comfortable

C. it is reasonable that prices are going up all the time

D. slightly improved new products are worth buying

2. According to this passage, airfares may rise because ______________.

A. the airplane has been improved

B. people tend to travel by new airplanes

C. the change is found to be reasonable

D. the service on the airplane is better than before

3. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they ____________.

A. could fly in the latest model of good planes

B. could get tickets at much lower prices

C. see the airlines make vital changes in their services

D. could spend less time flying in the air

4. When manufactures have improved the performance of their products to a certain level, then it would be _______________.

A. justified for them to cut the price

B. unnecessary for them to make any new changes

C. difficult and costly to further better them

D. insignificant for them to cut down the research costs

5. In the case of cars, the author advises that we _____________.

A. cancel the speed limit                       B. further improve their performance

C. change models every two years          D. improve their durability (耐久性)
