第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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
Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, and cycling culture. It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its wide system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. The top museums to visit are the Rijks museum, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and an area for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.
Transportation
Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of the city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around the town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and it’s a good choice to explore the city on foot.
Money-saving Tips
● Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District^ where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
● Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money
● Instead of hiring a tour guide, jump onto a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.

1、What can visitors do in the Old Centre?
A．Do some shopping. B．Visit a museum.
C．Run a coffee shop. D．Come across many architects.
2、What suggestion does the author offer tourists in the text?
A．Hiring a tour guide. B．Visiting the city on foot.
C．Buying tickets at the counter. D．Going to the city center by car.
3、What is the purpose of the text?
A．To encourage more overseas travelling.
B．To compare some tourist attractions.
C．To promote some famous museums.
D．To advertise travelling information.

B
Climate change is perhaps the key issue of our time. Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a little more concrete, a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.
The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffee-growing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them.
Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be adversely 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 l. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half 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 half. 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.
1、What does the underlined word "adversely " in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A．slightly. B．temporarily. C．harmfully. D．gradually.
2、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 products.
C．To reduce the cost of coffee production
D．To get access to water supply more easily.
3、What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs?
A．The rich will get richer and the poor poorer
B．Small changes may have large effects in general
C．Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.
D．Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.
4、How does the author feel about the future of coffee production?
A．Cautious. B．Worried. C．Unconcerned. D．Hopeful.
