Much of the world’s coffee is grown in Brazil. Not long ago an unseasonable frost swept through coffee plantations there. The result affected people in many countries for a long time to come. At first, reports of serious damage were received. These led to a sharp rise in the price of coffee, which had not been a highly profitable crop. Growers in other countries made extra efforts to increase their exports to profit from the expected shortage. However, they were hampered by smugglers who wished to avoid government controls. The price of coffee fell slightly. Then large restaurants and hotels began to buy coffee to build up stocks for future use. The price rose sharply and public resistance developed. Housewives organized a boycott of coffee. This led to a rise in the price of tea and a fall in the price of coffee. Much to the dismay of growers, the price fell sharply. Their response was rather surprising. Instead of selling their stocks of coffee, they began to buy on the open market. Their motive was clear. They wanted to force the price of coffee up, and one way of doing this was to reduce the amount of coffee available for sale to the public. Luckily for coffee-drinkers, this move failed. Restaurants and hotels stopped buying coffee. Large numbers of small growers had to sell their crops to keep alive. The large growers found that they were buying more coffee than they were growing. They abandoned their efforts and let the normal law of supply and demand decided the price. Meanwhile, millions of people had changed to cheaper drinks and would not switch back to coffee.(10分)

参考答案：C
The process by means of which human beings can arbitrarily make certain things stand for other tings may be called the symbolic process. Everywhere we turn, we see the symbolic process at work. Stripes on the sleeve can be made to stand for military rank; rings of gold or pieces of paper can stand for wealth; crossed sticks can stand for a set of religious beliefs. There are few thing that men do or want to do, possess or want to possess, that have not, in addition to their mechanical or biological value, a symbolic value. All fashionable clothes are highly symbolic: materials, cut, and ornament are dictated only to a slight degree by considerations of warmth, comfort or practicability. The more we dress up in fine clothes, the more we restrict our freedom of action. Food is also highly symbolic. Specific foods are used to symbolize specific festivals. For example, moon cakes are eaten to celebrate the Chinese mid-autumn festival as the Chinese think that on the Mid-Autumn Day (August 15th of the lunar year), the moon is at its brightest. We select our furniture to serve as visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We trade in perfectly good cars for later models not always to get better transportation, but to give evidence to the community that we can afford it. I once had an eight-year-old car in good running condition. A friend of mine, a repairman who knew the condition of the car, kept urging me to trade it for a new model. “But why?” I asked, “The old car’s in fine shape still.” The repairman answered scornfully, “Yeah, but what the hell. All you’ve got is transportation.” Recently, the term “transportation car” has begun to appear in advertisements, for example, “4B Dodge----Runs perfectly well: transportation car. Leaving, must sell. $100”. Apparently it means a car that has no symbolic value and is good only for getting you there and bringing you back----a poor kind of vehicle indeed!(10分)
