More people than ever are drinking coffee these days—but in smaller quantities than they used to. Some manufacturers of coffee makers are trying to take advantage of this trend by developing diminutive machines that brew(泡)smaller amounts of coffee.
Two US appliance companies—Black & Decker, based in Towson, Maryland, and Toastmaster Inc. of Columbia, Missouri—have recently introduced "drip" coffee makers that brew one or two cup servings of coffee. Both of the products brew the coffee directly into a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate carafe(玻璃大瓶). Since many people make a pot of coffee in the morning but drink only a single cup, the new coffee makers should reduce the wasted coffee. Black & Decker’s CupataTime costs $27, while Toastmaster’s Coffee Break Retails for $20.
Black & Decker also makes a coffee maker that drips coffee directly into a carryaround thermal(热的) carafe. The carafe, a glass vacuum bottle, is supposed to keep the coffee fresh for hours. The product, called the Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker, comes with a builtin lid that opens during the brewing process and close when it is completed. There are several models, including one that firs under the counter, ranging from $60 to $110 in price.
The main purpose of the text is to ______.
选项
A、introduce a new trend of drinking coffee
B、introduce new coffee makers
C、introduce two U.S. appliance companies
D、introduce the new coffee industry
答案
B
解析
主旨大意题。通过了解全文结构及各层次意思可以得知答案。文章的结构可以分成两个部分。第一部分是第一段,讲述了新型咖啡机产生的原因。第二部是生产新型咖啡机的两家公司,是文章的主干部分,并详细描述了一些新产品的优点及工作原理,这两面是平行关系。所以答案应为B)。
