Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C , or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.

Coffee Culture

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It
was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by
1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who
ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that
Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, and he was curious about the company. Schultz
went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the
company. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.

2Page

In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the espresso bars there caught his eye. To
Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work, and coffee bars. His
experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers
everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores – and that was
only the beginning. As a matter of fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere
around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps
make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores
and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gains an understanding of
customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their
customers.
30. What is the main topic of the reading?
A．how Starbucks has grown
B．Starbucks' customers

C．what Starbucks makes
D．how Starbucks makes its coffee

31. Which is true about Starbucks' first ten years of business?
A．It grew very quickly
C．It was a small company
B．It was run by Howard Schultz
D．It made special coffee makers
32. Who is Howard Schultz?
A．a coffee seller from New York
B．the man who changed the company

C．an Italian coffee maker
D．one of the original owners of the company

33. The word “unique” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. bright
B. particular
C. pleasant

D. familar

34. What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A．opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B．only selling locally produced coffee beans.
C．working with other major coffee-making companies.
D．learning about local customers.

The idea of going overseas to study can be daunting, with visions of baffling languages or nights
spent in isolation while you are gradually forgotten by your friends and family. (25) ______, the benefits of
studying abroad - such as broadening your mind, improving your career prospects and making friends from

Whatever your ambition, the key is starting early. Some countries require specific combinations of Alevels from UK students, Germany looks for four A-levels including maths or science and one modern
foreign language, for instance, while others, such as the US, value extracurricular activities. Starting our
research well ahead (28)_______ time can help you make the right choices. "Getting involved in sports,

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C , or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Naming customs are different around the world. In most cultures, however, people have at least two
names: a family name and a given name. Your given name is the name you receive when you are born.
Your family name is the name you share with other people in your family. In the United States, the family
name is often called the last name, and the given name is often called the first name. However, the order of
the two names is not the same everywhere. For example, in many Asian countries, the family name is first
and the given name is second. When two people from different cultures meet, sometimes they use the
incorrect name. This can cause embarrassment.
Family names can show something about a family's early history. The origin of many English family
names is a place, like London, or a job, such as Farmer or Shoemaker. A long time ago, these families
probably worked as farmers or shoemakers. Swedish and Danish family names often mean son of. For
example, Johansson means son of Johan. In South Korea, there are only about 250 family names. These
names go back hundreds of years to very old clans. About half of all Koreans have one of the three most
common family names - Kim, Park, or Lee.
There is generally no choice about a family name, but there is much more choice about given names.
Parents choose their child's name for many different reasons. They may select a name that sounds beautiful
or means something special. These names may have meanings like peace or happiness. In some cultures,
there may be a connection between children's names and when or how they were born. For example, a
Yoruba child in Nigeria might have a name like Sunday or Born on a Sunny Day. In some countries,
parents may pay money to a professional baby namer to help them find a good name. They want to find a
name that will be lucky for their child.
