Culture时文阅读备战2019年高考英语之阅读来源外刊时文精析（解析版）
摘自：《时代周刊》
A dozen international coffee experts shuffle（把脚挪来挪去）around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then the slurping〔吃喝或吸吮〕的声音 begins. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches intently专注地as the judges’ circle, awaiting a verdict（裁定）on her latest crop of beans.
China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer.
This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficiona dos(酷爱者)from across the globe.
"Coffee has huge potential in China," says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity（私人股权） investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago. "The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea." Still, Pu'er remains synonymous with tea.
This bustling （喧闹的）town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu’er , considered one of China's most refined.
But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China's fast-living millennials (千禧一代)move away from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu'er's farmers are catering to the demand.
Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu'er.
Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world—rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today.
In April, Seattle's annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin.
It follows on the heels of Starbucks' launching its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers.
With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavors—allowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee.
"At current coffee prices, I can't even feed my family," says the farmer Yang. "My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee
beans."That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor via environmental fermentation（发酵）,or allowing them to "honey" in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.
Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra effort was worthwhile.
"If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me," says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu'er's Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a huge grin. "It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving."

一.完成下列的单句填空。
1.Many experts gathered around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads ______(dip)
and sniffing deeply.
【答案】 dipping
【解析】现在分词作状语，dipping和逻辑主语heads是主动关系，heads dipping为独立主格结构。
【总结】独立主格结构是一个名词或代词（作为逻辑主语），加上一个形容词、副词、介词短语、分词、不定式等在句中作状语。它有以下三个特点：
(1) 独立主格结构的逻辑主语与句子的主语不同，它独立存在。
(2) 名词或代词与后面的形容词、副词、介词短语、分词、不定式等存在逻辑上的主谓关系。
(3) 独立主格结构一般用逗号与主句分开，但与主句之间不能使用任何连接词。
二、独立主格结构的用法
它表示谓语动词发生的时间、原因、条件或伴随情况等，相当于一个状语从句或并列句。
(1) 作时间状语
The work done(=After the work had been done) , we went home. 工作完成后，我们才回家。
(2) 作条件状语
Weather permitting(＝If weather permits) , they will go on an outing to the beach tomorrow. 如果天气允许的话，他们将在明天组织一次海滨小游。
(3) 作原因状语
An important lecture to be given tomorrow(=As an important lectur
e will be given tomorrow) , the professor has to stay up late into the night. 因为明天要发表一个重要的演讲，教授不得不熬夜到很晚。
(4) 作伴随状语
He was lying on the grass, his hands crossed under his head(=and his hands were crossed under his head) . 他躺在草地上，两手交叉枕在脑后。
(5) 表补充说明
A hunter came in, his face red with cold(=and his face was red with cold) . 一个猎人走了进来，他的脸冻得通红。
注：独立主格结构表示时间、条件或原因时，相当于一个状语从句，一般放在句首，表示原因时还可放在句末；表伴随状况或补充说明时，相当于一个并列句，通常放于句末。
三、使用独立主格结构的注意事项
(1) 当状语从句的主语与主句的主语不是指同一个对象时，可用独立主格结构取代状语从句，但不再保留连词。如：
After class was over (=Class being over/Class over) , the students soon left the classroom. 下课后，学生很快离开了课室。
(2) 在下列两种情况下，独立主格结构中的being（或having been）不能省略：
a. 独立主格的逻辑主语是代词时。如：
It being Sunday, we went to church. 因为是星期天，我们去了做礼拜。
b. 在There bei
ng＋名词的结构中。如：
There being no bus, we had to go home on foot. 因为没有公共汽车，所以我们不得不步行回家。
(3) 在“名词（或代词）＋介词短语”构成的独立主格结构中，一般不用形容词性物主代词和冠词。如：Miss Smith entered the classroom, book in hand. 史密斯先生走进了课室，手里拿着一本书。
(比较with的复合结构：Miss Smith entered the classroom, with a book in his hand. )
(4) 独立主格结构没有所有格形式。如：
The chief-editor arriving, we began the meeting. 主编来了，我们开始开会。
(比较动名词复合结构：The chief-editor’s arriving made us very surprised. ）
(5) 独立主格结构作时间或原因状语时，可用完成时，表示该动作发生在谓语之前。如：
The listeners having taken their seats, the concert began. 听众坐好后，音乐会开始了。
Tom having been late over and over, his boss was very disappointed. 由于汤姆一再迟到，他的老板非常失望。
2．A coffee farmer Yang Fan watches _____ the judges’ circle, ________(await) a comment on her latest crop of beans.
【答案】as/awaiting
【解析】as 表示当…的时候，awaiting 现在分词作状语，表示主动、伴随。学科&网
3. You can complain, ____I doubt if it’ll make any difference.
【答案】but
【解析】根据语境得知前后是转折关系。你可以抱怨,但是我看抱怨也未必有用.
4.This_____(taste)was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan province, _____ ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, _______(include) industry lovers from across the globe.
【答案】tasting/which/including
【解析】第一个空是名词做主语，tasting品尝；第二个空格式which引导的非限制性定语从句，指代Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo,第三个空是介词短语作状语。
5.This town near the Laos border ________(surround)by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a
____________(vary)of tea which is also called Pu’er , __________________(consider)one of China's most refined.
【答案】is surrounded/ variety/ considered
6. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world—______________(rise)from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons _______________(annual)today.
【答案】rising/ annually
【解析】rising…现在分词短语作状语，表示主动。annually为副词作状语。
7. My only way out is __________ specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans. (produce)
【答案】to produce
【解析】动词不定式作表语，表示将来。

A dozen international coffee experts shuffle around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then the process of tasting coffeebegins.

China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer.
中国或许称得上是茶叶的精神故乡，但中国作为顶级咖啡产地的声誉也正在迅速蹿升。
This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados from across the globe.
此次品鉴会是位于中国西南地区的云南省举办的首届普洱茶国际特产博览会的一项附带活动，今年冬季召开的这届博览会吸引了1000多名参会者，其中不乏来自世界各地的行业爱好者。
"Coffee has huge potential in China," says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago. "The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea."
五年前，刘莹放弃了北京某私募股权投资公司的工作，在普洱市做起了咖啡种植生意，她说：“咖啡在中国有着巨大的潜力，比起喝茶，年轻一代还是更喜欢在他们的办公室喝咖啡。”
Still, Pu'er remains synonymous with tea.
不过，即便如此，普洱市依然是茶叶的代名词。
This bustling town near the Laos border is surrounded by undulating green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu’er , considered one of China's most refined.
老挝边境附近的这座繁华小镇四周环抱着种满了茶园的青山；这里产一种和该市同名并且被认为是中国最精华的茶叶之一的普洱茶。学科&网
But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China's fast-living millennials move away from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu'er's farmers are catering to the demand.
不过，该地区温和的气候也非常适合种植阿拉比卡咖啡。随着中国快速成长的千禧一代的喜好从传统的饮茶转向提神的咖啡，普洱市的农民也开始迎合大家的这种需求。
Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu'er.
中国采收的咖啡云南就占了总量的98%，其
中又有一半都产自普洱地区。
Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world—rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today.
今天，中国已经成长为世界上的第13大咖啡生产国——年产量从30年前的零吨一跃为今天的13.6万吨。
In April, Seattle's annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin.
今年4月，西雅图一年一度的咖啡博览会决定将中国作为本届博览会的展览发源地。
It follows on the heels of Starbucks' launching its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers.
在此之前，在与云南农民合作了8年后，星巴克于去年推出了首个单一产地的云南咖啡。
With global coffee pr
ices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavors and aromas—allowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee.
在全球咖啡价格处于创纪录低位的情况下，云南的农民正在以独特的方式加工咖啡豆，以创造独特的口感和香味——籍此进入特产咖啡市场。
"At current coffee prices, I can't even feed my family," says the farmer Yang. "My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans."
农民杨帆说：“以目前的咖啡价格，我连养家糊口都成问题，我唯一的出路就是种植特产咖啡，做出最好的咖啡豆。”
That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor via environmental fermentation, or allowing them to "honey" in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.
这意味着让豆子在樱桃中风干，从而通过环境发酵产生一种野生的果香。或者让它们在含糖的内部层中“浸泡在甜言蜜语之中”，增加微妙的甜味。
Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra effort was worthwhile.
回到品鉴室，杨帆正在等待专家们对这些额外努力是否值得做出评判。
"If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me," says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu'er's Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a huge grin. "It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving."
“如果我告诉你这是哥伦比亚或巴拿马的咖啡，也不会有人有异议，这就是一个说明中国咖啡在不断发展的好例子。”普洱火炬咖啡烘焙CEO塞缪尔·古雷尔说，杨帆不禁喜笑颜开。
