While in the exam, Eve found Lisa was holding her phone on her knee（膝盖） under the table and reading from it. Eve couldn’t believe it! Is that how Lisa always got such good grades（分数）?

He had a big heart operation（手术） today and I was very worried about him. So I was reading texts from my mum, but Mr. Reed caught（逮到） me. He thought I was cheating（作弊）.

Asia（亚洲） has long tradition（传统） of tea-drinking. And China is no exception（例外）.
However, lately more and more Chinese people are turning to a different drink——Coffee. Coffee has become an increasingly（越来越） popular choice of Chinese people living abroad（国外） and in the country’s huge cities. It is also a popular crop（农作物） among those living in the mountains of southern Yunnan Province.
In big cities such as Beijing, coffee shops seem to be on nearly every major street corner（角落）. These shops are not just selling drinks from Starbucks, the world-famous coffee company. Coffee businesses from South Korea, Taiwan, HongKong and Britain are also operating（经营） in China.
Tea-drinking is steeped in（沉浸、浸泡） the culture and traditions of many countries, like China and Japan. But is that changing? Are young people from Asia now choosing a cup of coffee instead of tea?
BeiBei Su is from China. She has been living in the United States for the past eight years. Before that, she lived in Italy for two years. Ms. Su says she likes tea better than coffee. But she adds（补充） that may not be true among the young generation in China. Many young Chinese people drink coffee socially（在社交方面） ---when meeting with friends. Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area（地区） in China famous for growing tea. She used to only drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both and for different reasons.
Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her co-workers like to sit in a cafe and talk over a cup of coffee. Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington, D.C. She says that after moving to the U.S. her tastes（品味） changed. We would call her a coffee convert, someone who now chooses to drink coffee.
With more people drinking coffee, many see an economic(经济的）opportunity for Chinese-grown beans（咖啡豆）. China-grown coffee could be a money-maker（摇钱树） even if most of the coffee on sale in China is imported(进口的).
28. What does the author（作者） mainly introduce（介绍）?
A. Chinese people have long tradition of tea-growing.
B. More and more Chinese are choosing coffee to drink.
C. People in big cities like drinking coffee better than tea.
D. More Asian people are turning to various（各种各样的） drinks.
29. The underlined word “convert” in paragraph 6 means _________
A. A person who has changed to drink coffee. B. A person who has changed to drink tea.
C. A person who has changed to grow tea. D. A person who has changed to grow coffee.
30. Why does Yang Lin drink coffee?
A. Because she lives in the U.S. Now. B. Because she can talk with co-workers.
C. Because she has drunk tea so long. D. Because her has a tastes for（喜爱） coffee.
31.From the last paragraph, we can infer that
A. less and less coffee will be grown in China in the future.
B. the China-grown coffee beans will be popular with（受欢迎） the world soon.
C. the need of coffee will offer more chances to make money.
D. Chinese economy will totally （全部地）depend on coffee beans in the future.

Girls should take part in competitive（竞争的、比赛的） sport to build confidence（信心）, the leader of a group of girls’ schools will argue（争论） this week. Helen Fraser, director（主任） of the Girls Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls cope with（应付、处理） failure.
“All girls and not just the sporty（像运动家一样的） ones should take physical exercise（体育锻炼）”, Ms Fraser will say. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying（令人担忧的）, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she backs（支持） “sport for all（大众体育）”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond”, she will say.
The GDST draws（引起） on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter（四分之一） of girls in England meet basic levels(水平)of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice（两倍） the proportion (比例)of boys, the research suggests（表明）.
Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, once a skater and tennis player, while the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medalists（奖牌获得者） like Jessica Ennis, Katherine Grainger and Nicola Adams are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports.
Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey (曲棍球)”, said Ms Dunsford.
32. Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with?
A. Those taking part in the sport are always failures.
B. More should be done to make girls do sports.
C. Girls are less confident than boys.
D. Boys are born to be sport lovers.
33. What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise?
A. 1/10. B. 1/4. C. 1/5. D. 2/5.
34. Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show ________
A. hard work will pay off（回报）.
B. it’s not easy to be great.
C. sport can help girls to succeed（成功）.
D. it’s necessary to balance（平衡） work and sport.
35. What’s the purpose（目的） of the text?
A. To explain the key（关键） to success.
B. To show the importance of hardworking（努力）.
C. To introduce more games to girls.
D. To encourage more girls to do sports.
