Like producers of wine from France's Cha...

    Like producers of wine from France's Champagne area, Brazil's chocolate industry is using geographical indication, or GI labels with good results. These labels show where the cocoa comes from and its quality. The special labels can lead to higher prices on the market.

Henrique Almeida is the 63-year-old owner of a farm in Coaraci, in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. He is pleased with the "South Bahia" geographical indication for his cocoa. "The production of fine cocoa and the creation of the geographical indication label make it possible to have a profitable business and pull our region upwards," Almeida said.

For many years, farmers in Bahia had produced common cocoa, used widely in the chocolate industry. But in 1989, an outbreak of "witches' broom" disease sharply reduced the productivity of Bahia's cocoa trees. These trees make up to 86 percent of Brazil's national crop. At the time, Almeida, like other producers in southern Bahia, chose to improve the quality of his crop in order to be able to continue growing.

"When I bought the farm, standard cocoa prices were low, and cocoa farmers were unmotivated(无动机的), while the chocolate market was doing well," he told the French news agency AFP. "I started growing fine cocoa to make my own chocolate and add value to my product."

The label is the result of 10 years of work by Almeida and other cocoa producers, as well as cooperatives and researchers. Together, they created the South Bahia Cocoa Association to define(定义)production rules. The National Institute of Industrial Property registered the GI 6 years after the first registered GI.

The “South Bahia” label is the second GI given to Brazilian cocoa. The Linhares region in the state of Espirito Santo was the first GI to be registered in 2012. Tome-Acu in the northeastern state of Para became the third in 2019.

1.What might be a result of witches' broom in 1989?

A.Many cocoa trees in Brazil died. B.Cocoa became quite expensive.

C.Farmers started to grow fine cocoa. D.Chocolate industry had to use common cocoa.

2.When was the "South Bahia" labeled?

A.In 2012. B.In 2014.

C.In 2016. D.In 2018.

3.What might happen to Brazilian cocoa in the future?

A.A national cocoa association may appear quickly.

B.Common cocoa may disappear soon.

C.Cocoa fanners may apply for more GI labels.

D.Cocoa prices will be higher and higher.

4.What's the main idea of the text?

A.Brazil's cocoa industry benefits from GI labels.

B.Brazil's cocoa farmers are learning to make French wine.

C.GI labels are making higher profits for Brazil's cocoa farmers.

D.Better Brazil's cocoa trees will bring finer Brazil's cocoa.

 

1.C 2.D 3.C 4.A 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了巴西种植可可的农民,通过申请地理标志以提升可可的质量。 1. 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“At the time, Almeida, like other producers in southern Bahia, chose to improve the quality of his crop in order to be able to continue growing.”(当时,阿尔梅达和巴伊亚南部的其他生产者一样,为了能够继续种植,他选择提高作物的质量。)可知在疾病导致可可树的产量减少后,种植可可豆的农民开始注重提升可可的质量。故选C项。 2. 细节理解题。由第五段尾句“The National Institute of Industrial Property registered the GI 6 years after the first registered GI.”(美国国家工业产权协会在第一个已注册的GI 6年后注册了GI。)和最后一段“The “South Bahia” label is the second GI given to Brazilian cocoa. The Linhares region in the state of Espirito Santo was the first GI to be registered in 2012.”(“South Bahia”标签是巴西可可的第二个GI。圣埃斯皮里托州的林哈雷斯地区是2012年注册的第一个GI。)可知第一个地理标志颁发于2012年,South Bahia标志是在首个标志颁发的6年后又再次颁发的,即2018 年。故选D项。 3. 推理判断题。由第一段中的“Like producers of wine from France's Champagne area, Brazil's chocolate industry is using geographical indication, or GI labels with good results.”(和法国香槟区的葡萄酒生产商一样,巴西的可可行业也在使用地理标志,或者说是地理标志,效果很好。)第二段中的“The production of fine cocoa and the creation of the geographical indication label make it possible to have a profitable business and pull our region upwards," Almeida said.”(阿尔梅达说:“优质可可的生产和地理标志标签的建立,使我们有可能拥有一个有利可图的业务,并将我们的地区向上拉。”)和最后一段内容,可知种植可可的农民一直在申办地理标志,现在已经获得了三个地理标志,这大大地提高了他们所销售的可可的价格,由此可推知,未来可能会有更多种植可可的农民申办地理标志。故选C项。 4. 主旨大意题。由第一段中的“These labels show where the cocoa comes from and its quality. The special labels can lead to higher prices on the market.”(这些标签显示可可的产地和质量。这种特殊的标签会导致市场价格上涨。)和第四段中的“I started growing fine cocoa to make my own chocolate and add value to my product.”(我开始种植优质可可来制作我自己的巧克力,为我的产品增加价值。)可推断出文章主要介绍了在巴西种植可可的农民通过申办地理标志提高了可可的质量与售价,A项“巴西的可可产业受益于地理标志”准确地概括了文章主旨。故选A项。

    Sometimes while sitting doing nothing, our minds recall events from the past that make us all tingly inside. I had one of those moments yesterday. I believe this was triggered(引起)by the oldie The Impossible Dream that was playing on the radio yesterday afternoon!

In 1971, returning from our regular Friday night pregame meeting, I had no sooner walked in the door of our three-room apartment hack than the phone rang. It was the township police. They inquired if I was the football coach. I answered yes and asked if there was a problem. He said our football team had climbed the fence of the township football field and were sitting somewhere around the 50-yard line quietly. It was really not a problem. However, he thought I would like to know. I called my assistants, and made our way to the field.

We met the police at the locked gate. The field was dark and silent. Then, suddenly, we heard voices singing—together and on key—the team theme song, The Impossible Dream. Silently, we listened and became overwhelmed(压倒)with emotion. Even the policemen had tears rolling down their cheeks. When the team had finished, they walked slowly to the now-opened gate of the field and were shocked to see us waiting there. Of course, our first words were, "What is going on?"

Mike Bernert, the team captain, replied, "Well, coach, you told us to visualize our performance in our mind just before the night of the game. So we came and visualized the upcoming game while sitting on the 50-yard line. Afterward, we would sing The Impossible Dream.”

The coaches and I were overwhelmed. And of course, the team, which was undefeated at this point, never lost a game that season.

1.What does the underlined word “tingly” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Frightened. B.Excited.

C.Worried. D.Puzzled.

2.Why did the police call?

A.The team did something unusual.

B.The team had conflicts with fans.

C.The team locked themselves in the football field.

D.The team damaged the fences of the playground.

3.How did the team feel when they saw the author and the policeman?

A.Happy. B.Sad.

C.Ashamed. D.Surprised.

4.What is the purpose for the team to sing the song?

A.To enjoy themselves. B.To inspire themselves.

C.To celebrate their success. D.To rest themselves.
