Пробные тесты для осуществления текущего, промежуточного и итогового контроля ЗУН учащихся 3, 7, 9 классов. Учитель Коломыйцева И. Г.

2.D. Read the text below. Then say which of its passages gives the following ideas.

The text: The Coffee Story.

A)      Kaldi was tired, but he couldn’t sleep. His goats were active and very noisy. "Why can’t they sleep?” Kaldi thought. He couldn’t understand the problem so he watched the animals carefully. They were eating some green plants with little red fruit on them.

B)       The shepherd wanted to taste the fruit. He ate the soft part of each fruit and the hard things in the centre. After a minute he began to feel energetic. He was not tired any more and didn’t want to sleep.

C)       Those hard things were coffee beans, and Kaldi discovered the in Ethiopia more than 1,000 years ago. At least, that’s the traditional story. Perhaps, it is true, perhaps not. Nobody knows. But we know that coffee grew first in Ethiopia, and we know that somebody discovered it there more than 1,000 years ago.

D)      After that, Arab travellers took coffee plants to Egypt and other Arab countries. Arab farmers began to grow coffee plants.

E)       People learnt to make a drink from the beans, and they called it qahwa. For 400 years, only the Arabs know about qahwa.

F)       Then people in Turkey learnt about it. Soon after that, western Europeans began to drink it, and in 1652 the first coffee shop in London opened. Now farmers grow coffee in many parts of the world. Some famous coffee-growing countries are Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia and, of course, Ethiopia. Coffee is one of the world’s favourite drinks, thanks to Kaldi and his goats.

The main ideas of the text:

1 – Kaldi tasted coffee beans

2 – The most famous coffee-producing countries of the world

3 – The name of the country where the story started

4 – Kaldi’s goats’unusual behaviour

5 – The Arab name of the drink made of the coffee-beans

6 – how coffee-beans came to Egypt.
