Food prices are at their highest level since the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization began keeping records in 1990. The causes include bad weather and growing demand. Some experts also blame the use of food crops to make fuel. But higher food prices are not always the result of limited supplies.

Coffee prices have jumped almost 50 percent in six months. Prices have reached a 13-year high. Yet growers expect their current crop to be almost 10 percent bigger than the last one.

Experts say coffee prices are rising mainly because people are willing to pay more. Coffee sellers like Mark Warmuth say tastes are changing and more people want a good cup of coffee.

Mark Warmuth owns the M. E. Swing Coffee Company in Alexandria, Virginia, near Washington. He says big coffee sellers like Starbucks help his business by building a base of customers who want something better.

Greater demand for high-quality coffee has helped drive coffee prices higher. That includes greater demand among Brazilians. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of coffee.

People in India are also drinking more coffee. Starbucks just announced plans to enter that market in a deal with India's Tata Coffee Company.

22.When did the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization begin keeping records of food prices?

A) Crop growers' high expectation. B) Bad weather and growing demand. C) Inflation and natural disasters. D) People's waste of food.

正确答案为 B 你没有作答。 解析:

A) Higher coffee prices are the result of limited supplies. B) Coffee prices are not rising according to the experts.

C) Great demand for high-quality coffee results in its rising price.

D) There is no change in coffee prices in Brazil.
