Question

【題目】 At the Cool Beans Cafe in Virginia, US, a dollar can buy you a cup of fresh coffee.

But your purchase(購買) also helps the seventh-grade students with special needs who run the cafe at Poquoson Middle School.

They get experience with job skills and social communication outside of the classroom by working at the cafe. “They really get a lot out of this,” said Heather Hopkins, the teacher who started the cafe and taught the students how to run it.

The five students who run the cafe each have a specific job. Jake Mann, the supply manager, looks at customers’ online orders and helps Braden Jobst, the barista (咖啡師), prepare the coffee. Alex Sarber, the barista assistant, adds any extra ingredients that the customers want.

The drinks are delivered by J.J. Shibuya. Jasmine Baker, the cashier (收銀員), goes on deliveries with J.J. and collects money and tips from their customers.

Hopkins started the coffee shop program this school year with $1,600 (10,040 yuan), which was provided by the Virginia Department of Education. The department gave the money to create opportunities for students to practice self-determined behavior and independence.

But even though the shop runs like a business, there’s plenty of opportunity to have fun. For example, Jake likes to pose for photos and admire pictures of the shop’s employees (雇員).

The students take pride in their work. They have discussed their work at a school board meeting and at a recent expo (展覽會) of instructional programs at Poquoson schools. For them, running the cafe isn’t just about selling coffee. It’s about improving their social skills and discovering the tools that they’ll need to succeed in life.

【解析】

文章介紹了一家特殊的咖啡館，這家咖啡館是由教育部投資、學(xué)生自己經(jīng)營的，目的是鍛煉學(xué)生的工作技能和課外社交的經(jīng)驗。

【1】詞義猜測題，根據(jù)“a dollar can buy you a cup of fresh coffee.一美元可以買到一杯新鮮咖啡�！焙汀�They get experience with job skills and social communication outside of the classroom by working at the cafe.他們通過在咖啡館工作來獲得工作技能和課外社交的經(jīng)驗�！�，那么應(yīng)該是幫助經(jīng)營，故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù) “They get experience with job skills and social communication outside of the classroom by working at the cafe”，他們（學(xué)生們）通過在咖啡館工作，可以獲得了工作技能和課外社交的經(jīng)驗。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)“Jake Mann, the supply manager, looks at customers’ online orders and helps Braden Jobst, the barista (咖啡師), prepare the coffee.”Jake Mann供應(yīng)經(jīng)理，查看顧客線上訂單。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題，根據(jù)文章中“Hopkins started the coffee shop program this school year with $1,600 (10,040 yuan), which was provided by the Virginia Department of Education.”可知霍普金斯在本學(xué)年以1600美元啟動了咖啡廳計劃，該資金由弗吉尼亞教育部提供，所以弗吉尼亞教育部是支持這項計劃的。所以選項A錯誤，B正確；根據(jù)“But even though the shop runs like a business, there’s plenty of opportunity to have fun.但是，即使這家商店像做生意一樣經(jīng)營，也有很多機會可以玩得開心。”可知選項C錯誤；根據(jù)“Jake likes to pose for photos and admire pictures of the shop’s employees杰克喜歡擺姿勢拍照，欣賞商店員工的照片。學(xué)生們以他們的工作為榮。”選項D錯誤，故選B。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段內(nèi)容，我們知道這家咖啡店是給學(xué)生機會，讓學(xué)生自主能力和獨立性，是由學(xué)生自主經(jīng)營的。故選C。
