21、Coffee is an important part of Italian culture. I have been in Italy for over six months and I have drunk a lot of it!

Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK, my home country, but coffee culture in Italy is a different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a bar (小馆子), you will get a small espresso. This is normal coffee for Italians and they are not so interested in the big coffee that we drink in the UK. And takeaway (外卖食物) coffee is very popular in the UK, but it is not very common at all in Italy. Usually, Italians like to drink coffee in a bar and, for many, this short time is an important part of their day.

Breakfast in a bar in Italy usually involves (包括) a coffee and a pastry (油酥糕点). I like this kind of breakfast. Cappuccino is a very popular coffee drink at breakfast time and, for me, a cappuccino and a pastry is the perfect way to start the day.

Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is much cheaper than that in the UK. Normally, an espresso costs around €1.00 and a cappuccino about €1.50 in Italy! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to often go out for coffee and you won’t break the bank.

【1】Where does the writer come from?

A．The USA.

B．The UK.

C．Italy.

D．Canada.

【2】Italians usually drink coffee _______.

A．in a bar

B．after breakfast

C．in a big cup

D．at home

【3】What is the perfect way to start the day for the writer?

A．Having a big breakfast.

B．Exercising for a short time.

C．Having a cappuccino and a pastry.

D．Enjoying takeaway coffee from a bar.

【4】An espresso is about _______ cheaper than a cappuccino in Italy.

A．€0.50

B．€1.00

C．€1.50

D．€2.50

【5】What does the underlined part “you won’t break the bank” mean in Chinese?

A．你会倾家荡产

B．你能负担得起

C．你不能抢银行

D．你不能向银行贷款

22、Halloween is just around the corner. People in the West celebrate it on October 31 every year. Children usually go trick-or-treating. They usually knock on their neighbors’ doors and ask for candy.

   But because of COVID-19, many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating this year. As health experts said, the virus spreads more easily when people have close touch with each other.

   But this won’t smash the fans’ Halloween spirit. For example, Elizabeth Lusty from London came up with an idea for her two children. She and her neighbors will put boxes of candy on their front yards. Then they’ll plan a safe route so that children can take the candy without coming into touch with others.

   Andrew Beattie from the US also got creative. He and his 6-year-old daughter made a contact-free candy chute (滑道). It stretched (延伸) from the family’s front door to the sidewalk. They can send candy down the chute to trick-or-treaters outside. The idea became popular online and many people are doing the same.

   “This is something that the kids will enjoy and not think of it as ‘I’m doing this to prevent disease’.” Beattie told CNN. “They are doing it to have a good time, and we need that now more than ever.”

【1】This year, many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating because _________.

A．it’s not healthy for children to eat candy

B．neighbors will not give out candy to kids

C．many cities will stop the activity

D．close touch may make COVID-19 spread easily

【2】How can kids collect candy from Andrew’s house this Halloween?

A．They can collect candy as usual.

B．They can collect candy from a chute.

C．Andrew will hand it to them.

D．They can take it from a box.

【3】What does the underlined word “smash” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Break.

B．Pass.

C．Keep.

D．Have.

【4】What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph?

A．COVID-19 might spread quickly on Halloween.

B．Not only kids but also adults need trick-or-treating these days.

C．Trick-or-treating will not be fun this year.

D．All the kids can truly understand the reasons for making contact-free candy chutes.
