23、ar in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a caf or bar (酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you
24、 want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits(英国人), it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Gene
25、rally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled (我被宠坏了)for choice with lovely cafs in the Italian town Im liv
26、ing in. These cafs sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries(令人馋涎欲滴的糕点) either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos(热牛奶咖啡) are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to
27、 start the day. Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro(欧元) and a cappuccino about 1.50（欧元）! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible
28、to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.28. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By time. B. By space. C. By example. D. By comparison.29. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso. B. Lungo. C. Cappuccino. D. Macchiato.30. What c
29、an we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.D. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.31. What does the author
30、think of Italian coffee?A. She loves its bitter taste.B. It is too expensive for her.C. It is a good choice for breakfast.D. The cup it is served in is too small.DColorado（美）科罗拉多 has more fourteeners mountain peaks (山峰) over 14,000 feet than any other state in the US. Many people believe that Colora
31、dos 53 fourteeners are reachable by only the most experienced mountaineers. In fact, climbing those fourteeners is hardly an impossible task for most climbers.Surprisingly, unlike climbing Denali (the highest point in North America), a climb to one of Colorados 14,000-foot peaks seldom takes more than a day. Pikes Peak is a well-known difficult climb, yet a college teacher in his middle seventies makes the climb every day in the summer. A friend of mine, Carson Black, in a day, once climbed four fourteeners. Three of them Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, and Kit Carson
