Making good coffee is not a simple business. Coffee bushes must be grown in shade. A hillside is best—but it mustn’t be too (1)_____. After three years, the bushes will start to (2)_____ bright-red coffee "cherries", which are picked, processed to (3)_____ the inner part, and spread out to dry for days, (4)_____ on concrete. They are (5)_____ again to separate the bean, which needs to rest, preferably for a few months. Only then can it be roasted, ground and brewed (6)_____ the stuff that dreams are suppressed with.
In Mexico and parts of Central America, (7)_____ in Colombia, most coffee farmers are smallholders. They found it especially hard to (8)_____ the recent fall in the coffee price. The (9)_____ of their income makes it hard for farmers to invest to (10)_____ their crop, says Fernando Celis. The fall forced many small farmers to (11)_____ other crops, or migrate to cities.
For farmers, one way out of this (12)_____ is to separate the price they are paid (13)_____ the international commodities markets. This is the (14)_____ of Fair-trade, an organization which certifies products as "responsibly" sourced. Fair-trade determines at what price farmers make what it considers a (15)_____ profit.

(17)_____, sales of Fair-trade-certified coffee have increased from $22.5m per year to $87m per year since 1998. This is still a tiny fraction of the overall world coffee trade, worth $10 billion (18)_____ But there are plenty of other markets for high-quality coffee.

选项
A、move to
B、turn to
C、come to
D、switch to
答案
D
解析
对上下文语义的理解和动词搭配。上文讲述农民们种植咖啡豆及生产咖啡豆的过程,后来咖啡价格下滑,人们单靠种植咖啡难以为继,下文说种植其他庄稼,可见这是一个改变,需填入有改变之意的词(组),switch to的意思是(cause sth. to) shift or change,esp. suddenly"转到,转变成",符合题意。turn to的意思是(cause sb./sth.to)pass from one condition or state to another one"转向,变成",如:Water turns to ice when it freezes.水凝固后就变成了冰。不够贴切。move to的意思是change residence"移动,迁居";come to的意思是amount to或be equal to"达到",不符合题意。
