Vaukin de Silva is a Brazilian who lives and works in New York. Brazil’s most important product is coffee and coffee is Vaukin’s business. He works for an international coffee institute. It represents Brazil and several other countries that export coffee. The institute wants more people to drink more coffee. That hasn’t been easy to do for the last few months.
A period of freezing weather destroyed a large part of Brazil’s coffee crop. As a result, there has been a shortage of coffee throughout the world. The shortage has caused prices to go very high. Many people are talking about giving up coffee until the prices come down again. All the countries that are represented in the institute want people to continue drinking coffee. They spend a lot of time explaining the recent rise in price to newspaper reporters. They want the public to understand the reason for the shortage. A month ago, Vaukin was put in charge of an advertising campaign. The campaign will try to encourage people to keep on drinking coffee.
Sometimes, Vaukin misses the beaches and tropical weather in Rio de Janeiro, but he likes life in New York. He’s young, only 27 years old, and he’s a good-looking bachelor. There are a lot of women to meet in New York and a lot of places to go with them. When he misses home, there are several Brazilian restaurants where he can go and speak Portuguese, his native language. The last few weeks, however, he’s been too busy to think about anything except coffee prices and his advertising campaign.
9. What does the passage say about the international coffee institute?
10. What caused the recent shortage of coffee throughout the world?
11. What do we learn about Vaukin de Silva?
12. What has occupied Vaukin’s mind for the last few weeks?
选项
A、A visit to several coffee-growing plantations.
B、A vacation on some beautiful tropical beach.
C、Coffee prices and his advertising campaign.
D、A quick promotion and a handsome income.
答案
B
解析
短文末尾提到,最近几周里瓦金都在忙于处理咖啡价格和广告宣传的事,没有时间考虑别的事,也就是说,咖啡价格和广告宣传已经完全占据了他的头脑,故选项B正确。选项A、D短文中未提及,故排除;短文中提到他有时会想念巴西的海滩,而不是说他在考虑去热带海滨度假,故选项C也排除。
