26、Starbucks’ founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso (浓咖啡)in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.
Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino (卡布奇诺).I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes (拿铁)and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.
You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.
What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.
I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.
【1】What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic of the passage.
B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.
C.To present the standard of good coffee.
D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.
【2】In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Italian branded stores __________.
A.contains too much sugar juice
B.represents the Italian coffee culture
C.is very different from that served in the US
D.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee
【3】Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that___________.
A.home-made coffee is much cheaper
B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home
C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine
D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home
【4】According to the passage, we can infer that_______.
A.Starbucks coffee doesn’t agree with the Italians
B.white coffee tastes sweeter than cappuccino
C.Italian coffee culture is widely spread all over the world
D.the British like the kettle the same way as the Italians like coffee
27、 The popularity of bicycling continues to rise, and it is no surprise. It’s fun, healthy and eco-friendly. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no fuel cost!
Hop on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new in your community. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. In many communities, you can bike to work and benefit from exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way. Folding bikes work well for workers who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you.
Have you ever thought about bicycling across a foreign country? It’s a great way to experience another culture, see beautiful scenery and meet friendly people. Bicycle enthusiast Goran Kropp bicycled across not just one country but several. He rode a remarkable 11,000 km from his home in Sweden to Nepal and then climbed Mount Everest! And now, bicycling across a country to raise money for a charity or to advertise a cause is also popular.
To encourage people to bike, many cities in Europe have established bike-share programs. In Paris, for example, thousands of bikes are parked at bike stations around the city. Users can rent bikes at any station. The first half-hour of use is free. After that, users pay a small fee. When they’ve finished riding, they simply park their bikes at any station. For people who don’t want to drive, the bikes are an excellent alternative(替代品)to buses and taxis, which burn fuel and cause pollution.
As a result of the success of bike plans in Europe, they’re spreading to the US., Australia, China and other countries as well. Have you ever tried any shared bikes in your city?
【1】We can learn from the passage that _____.
A.bikes are becoming more and more popular
B.bikes save people’s time
C.bikes have increased in price
D.buses and taxis will be replaced by bikes
【2】According to this passage, workers in some cities can take their bikes _____.
A.to concerts and festivals B.into their company offices
C.onto public transportation D.to large recreational areas
【3】We know from Paragraph 3 that _____.
A.many people can use the same bikes B.the bikes aren’t likely to break down
C.riders can keep the bikes for months D.people can ride bikes to raise money
28、4 Things that Can Help to Boost Your Immune System During the Coronavirus Outbreak
There is an exception to the general rule that supplements (补充剂) won’ t really help prevent illness, and that’ s vitamin D. Research has shown that the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off viruses-while it won’t protect you from getting the virus. It could reduce the severity of the illness and help make recovery easier. 【1】. It’s also found in some foods, including fatty fish like salmon and in small amounts in beef liver, eggs, cheese, and mushrooms.
【2】While you’ re asleep, your body uses that time to do recovery and repair of essential functions, including your immune system. Just one night of poor sleep can reduce your immune cells by as much as 70%, research shows.
Exercise can keep your body functioning well, since research shows that it reduces inflammation (炎症) and supports infection-fighting cells. 【3】 Body movements like burpees, lunges, push-ups and more can give you a quick full-body workout with no equipment.
Stress can also make a big difference for your immune system, particularly when there are alarming or uncertain events happening in the world around you. Yes, this means managing fears — good strategies include taking breaks from social media and relying on trustworthy media sources for information. 【4】
There are many ways to get relaxed. 【5】 Maybe that’s taking a walk outside, curling up with a favorite book, or taking time to reflect or practice yoga or another comforting habit each day.
A.You can get vitamin D naturally through sunlight.
B.Your first line of defense is to choose a healthy lifestyle.
C.How you choose to relax will vary from person to person.
D.Both of them can help you avoid panic and misinformation.
E.One of the free ways to stay healthy is getting enough sleep.
F.Your immune system does a remarkable job of defending you against disease.
G.If you’re staying out of the gym, there are plenty of ways to still get your sweat on.
29、 Nowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.
If you’re the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If I’m painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, I’d have my husband say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point out what a careless painter I am.
If you’re on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you’re doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. It diffuses a potentially explosive situation. It’s important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?
In any event, one should remember the saying, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning(指责) and you will not be condemned.” One can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be “OK”.
【1】According to the author, today’s people_____.
A.ignore the mistakes of others
B.focus on how to handle mistakes
C.like to point out the mistakes of others
D.have a moral duty to point out others’ faults
【2】Which of the following best explains “diffuses” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.spreads B.improves
C.reduces D.conveys
【3】Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Is criticism really necessary?
B.What can you learn from criticism?
C.What’s the best way to voice criticism?
D.How to criticize and reply to criticism?
