Question

A.Comprehension passage.

For two months, I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream. I have narrowed it

down to my four favorite manufacturers: Randolph Farms, Goodies, Disco, and Twinkle. Let's start

with Randolph Farms. Randolph Farms makes very good ice cream. They have lots of different

flavors, but this doesn't really matter to me. That's because I always get coffee flavor. They make the

best coffee ice cream in the world. I've never had hot coffee (the drink) but people tell me that

Randolph Farms coffee ice cream tastes just like the real thing. Also, Randolph Farms uses all natural

ingredients to make their ice cream. This is a good idea, I think. Second, we have Goodies. Goodies

makes excellent ice cream. Like Randolph Farms, Goodies uses all natural ingredients. They only

make three different flavors—strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate— but they make them very well.

The strawberry is amazing. Every bite of it reminds me of the strawberries that I used to pick behind

my old house. The vanilla is wonderful. It is very smooth and has a refreshing, creamy taste. The

chocolate is outstanding. It is made with real cocoa beans from Bolivia. I didn't know where Bolivia is

so I decided to look for it on a map. After hunting awhile, I discovered that it is in South America!

That's a long way to go to get cocoa, so it must be good. I would say that the only drawback to

Goodies ice cream is that they only make three different flavors. Third, we have Disco. Disco ice

cream is okay. They don't have many good flavors. Actually, the only Disco flavor I like is Bubblegum.

It is vanilla ice cream with little chunks of bubblegum in it. After you eat the ice cream, you can blow

bubbles with the gum. That's pretty fun. Finally, there is Twinkle. Twinkle ice cream is mediocre. The

only good thing about Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive. You can buy a whole carton of

twinkle ice cream for $4.50. That's only two weeks'allowance for me.
