真题研练3
Task 1:阅读下列短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
(2015·陕西,C)The production of coffee beans is a huge,profitable business,but,unfortunately,fullsun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shadegrown production to fullsun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds,and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.
On a local level,the damage of the forest required by fullsun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Fullsun coffee growers destroy this forest home.As a result,many species are quickly dying out.
On a more global level,the destruction of the rainforest for fullsun coffee fields also threatens(威胁) human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life,and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition,new coffeegrowing techniques are poisoning the water locally,and eventually the world's groundwater.
Both locally and globally,the continued spread of fullsun coffee plantations(种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate,and studies show that the loss of oxygengiving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover,the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life,from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shadegrown coffee whenever possible,although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.

climate,and studies show that the loss of oxygengiving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.
分析:本句是一个由and连接的并列句。第一个分句的主语是The loss of shade trees,谓语是is causing,宾语是change;第二个分句的主语是studies,谓语是show,宾语是that引导的从句,其中宾语从句中的主语是the loss of oxygengiving trees,谓语是leads to。
译文:能提供树荫的树木的减少已经造成了世界气候的轻微变化,研究表明能供给氧气的树木的减少也导致了空气污染和全球变暖。
