Question

【題目】 Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England. People there used to drink a light beer. No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table.

When tea was first brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. But they do not know how it should be used. They cooked the leaves in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon (熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today.

Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the leaves are ready to be picked, it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry them. In their spare time, they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into house, he is served with a cup of tea.

【2】B

【3】B

【4】A

【5】A

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。 文章講述了英國一開始并沒有茶葉。隨著時間的流逝，在英國，茶葉變得像牛奶和咖啡一樣受歡迎了。在中國，日本以及其他的國家，茶葉作為一種植物的葉子廣泛種植。在中國，用茶來招待客人是最為平常不過的了。

【1】句意：在英國，很久以前，早餐上是供應(yīng)啤酒的。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第一段第三句“No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table.”可知，早晨桌上沒有牛奶和咖啡，只有大杯啤酒。所以，早晨是提供啤酒的。此題正確。故選A。

【2】句意：一對老夫妻最早把茶葉帶到英國的。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第二段第一句“When tea was first brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat.”可知，茶葉最早帶到英國時，一對老夫妻得到了一些茶葉當(dāng)特殊的款待。 并不是老夫妻帶去的，屬于偷換概念。此題錯誤。故選B。

【3】句意：老夫妻把茶的葉子扔了然后開始喝茶。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句“They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away!”可知，他們把葉子吃了，把茶葉扔了。題目表述與原文相反。此題錯誤。故選B。

【4】句意：當(dāng)茶農(nóng)們采摘并且晾干茶葉時，是一年中最忙的時候。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第三段第三句“When the leaves are ready to be picked, it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year.”可知，當(dāng)準(zhǔn)備采摘葉子時候，是茶農(nóng)們一年最忙的時候。題目表述與原文一致。故選A。

【5】句意：如今在英國，茶葉，牛奶和咖啡一樣受歡迎。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第二段最后一句“However, tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today.”可知，在英國，茶葉變得像牛奶和咖啡一樣受歡迎。 題目表述與原文一致。故選A。
