22、Plenty of studies have investigated how climate change could be harmful to the production of coffee bean crops, with research released in 2019 suggesting that 60 percent of known coffee species could be in danger of going extinct. But a new scientific review has attempted to focus specifically on how global warming might affect the taste and smell of coffee. Bad news is that not only could the coffee of the future be harder to come by, it could taste bad, too.
“A low-quality cup of coffee has economic influences as well as sensory(感官的)ones,” Sean Cash, professor at Tults’ Friedman Nutrition Science explained. “If we can understand the science of these changes, we might help farmers better manage coffee production in the face of this and future challenges.”
Specifically, researchers identified two factors that had the most consistent association with quality: higher altitude produced coffee with better taste and smell; and too much sunlight led to decreased quality.
That first factor could be significantly affected by global warming. “Higher altitudes are connected with cooler temperatures. It results in slower ripening(成熟), long-time fruit-fill, and higher accumulation(积累)of taste and smell,” the paper states. “What may happen to coffee quality at higher altitudes with increased temperature linked to climate change? And we need to know climate adaptation is needed for coffee agricultural systems at all altitudes.
On the other hand, reducing sunlight exposure(暴露)is easier to deal with. “While light exposure is shifting with climate change, this can be controlled in coffee agricultural systems. Through shade management including developing shade-grown coffee systems with best levels of coverage, the paper continued. Shade management is a relatively easily reached climate adaptation strategy compared to relocating farms.”
Still, the study's biggest takeaway was the more work needs to be done to ensure our coffee tastes. “This systematic review highlights that coffee quality is sensitive to climate change and climate adaptation,” the conclusion stated. “Given the sensitivity of coffee quality to environmental change, evidence-based innovations are called for to enhance the sustainable development of the coffee industry in the context of global change.”
【1】What is the purpose of the new study?
A．To find ways to stop the global warming.
B．To prevent the coffee from going extinct.
C．To help farmers increase the products of coffee.
D．To help farmers improve the quality of coffee crop.
【2】Why is higher altitude important to coffee?

D．It is easier for farmers to take care of coffee crop.
【3】What is suggested to solve the problem of sunlight exposure?
A．To relocate coffee farms.
B．To develop effective shade systems.
C．To grow coffee crops in higher altitude farms.
D．To make the coffee adapt to the climate change.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A．The future of coffee crops.
B．What affects coffee production

23、A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel. Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major” is most often associated with bright yellow and orange, whereas his “Requiem in D Minor” is linked to bluish gray, the findings revealed.
US researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, enlisted nearly 100 subjects for a study on music and color. With 37 colors, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors.
“Surprisingly, we can predict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,” said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.
In three experiments, the subjects listened to 18 classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow, medium, fast) and in major VS minor keys. In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music to which they were listening. Separately, they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, and calm to angry.
Next, the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor. “We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,” Palmer said. “But we don’t yet know about China or Turkey.”
【1】What can we know about Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 G Major”?

24、 Tim Ma’s parents went to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s and opened a restaurant, which was not a success. They hoped Ma would become an engineer or doctor out of financial security.
Ma grew up in the state of Arkansas, a challenging place to live in for him. He said, “There was some racism and I came up through a very non-equal environment.”
Ma did well in math and science in high school and ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.
Several engineering jobs later, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business.
His parents could not understand why he left such a good job to open a restaurant, which they had worked long hours for but still failed.
But Ma remained certain. He was going to do things differently from his parents. He was able to learn from their major mistake as restaurant owners—they knew very little about the art of cooking.
So, at age 30, Ma left engineering and returned to school to study cooking. He attended the International Culinary (烹调) Center in New York and received training in French cooking. Ma soon discovered it was similar to engineering and liked it. He said, “Professional cook is consistency, efficiency, cleanliness. Everything has a theory.”
In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia called Maple Avenue and served American cuisine. He cooked, cleaned the ovens (灶, 烤箱), fixed equipment and paid bills for seven days a week.
His long hours of work paid off. Last year he opened his fourth restaurant Kyirisan in Washington, D. C. Ma says, “My success just comes from ‘sheer hard work’.”
“I think in this country you can create your own success just by working hard. Not because you’re smarter, not because you’re more creative than anybody, just by working hard.”
【1】Why did Tim Ma’s parents expect him to be an engineer or doctor?
A.Being an engineer or doctor was the best choice.
B.Ma liked the jobs of engineering.
C.The jobs provided enough for a living.
D.Ma studied well in math and science.
【2】What can we learn about Tim Ma?
A.He learned to cook from his parents. B.He opened a restaurant upon graduation.
C.He owed his success to his creativity. D.He proved promising in his restaurant.
【3】What does the underlined word “sheer” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Careful. B.Pure.
C.Extreme D.Slight.
【4】What does the author intend to tell us?
A.Engineering promises achievements. B.Creation matters much in business.
C.Americans face challenge of equality. D.Success comes from hard work.
