drinking was common in china for nearly one thousand years before anyone in europe had ever heard about teapeople in britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. it could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. some of them were not sure how to use it. they thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. then they served them mixed with butter and salt. they soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches. tea remained scarce (缺少的) and very expensive in england until the ships of the east india company began to bring it direct from china early in the seventeenth century. during the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it. at the same time people on the continent were becoming more and more fond of teauntil then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous french lady named madame de sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was addedshe found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. slowly this habit spread until it reached england and today only very few britons drink tea without milk. at first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. no one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four oclock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. she invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so tea-time was born.31which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into britain?a. the britons got expensive tea from india. b. tea reached britain from holland.c the britons were the first people in europe who drank tea.d it was not until the 17th century that the britons had tea.32this passage mainly discusses_.athe history of tea drinking in britain bhow tea became a popular drink in britainchow the britons got the habit of drinking tea dhow tea-time was born33tea became a popular drink in britain_.a. in eighteenth century bin sixteenth centurycin the seventeenth century din the late seventeenth century34people in europe began to drink tea with milk because _.ait tasted like milk bit tasted more pleasant cit became a popular drinkd. madame de sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copy the way she drank tea35we may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in britain was mostly due to the influence of_. aa famous french lady bthe ancient chinese cthe upper social class dpeople in holland cpeople in the united states honor their parents with 2 special days: mothers day on the second sunday in may and fathers day on the 3rd sunday in june. these days are to show love and respect for parents. they raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. they give love and care. these two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. more mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with childcare. these two special days are celebrated in many different ways. on mothers day, people wear carnations. a red one symbolizes a living mother. a white one shows that the mother is dead. many people attend religious services to honor parents. its also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(grave). on these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. they often have outdoor barbecue for fathers day. these are days of fun and good feelings and memories. another tradition is to give cards and gifts. children make them in school. many people make their own presents. these are more valued than those bought in stores. its not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays. 36. which is not a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?a. parents bring up children. b. parents give love and care to children.c. parents educate children to be good persons. d. parents pass away before children grow up.37. what do you know from the passage?a. both festivals are in may. b. fewer women worked outside the home in the past.c. not all the children respect their parents. d. fathers are not as important as mothers at home.38. which do you know about “carnation”?a. it only has two kinds of color. b. it refers to the special clothes people wear on mothers day.c. its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.d. people can wear them only on the second sunday in may.39. on mothers day and fathers day _.a. sometimes family members get together b. everyone goes to the cemeteryc. children always go to parents home d. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts.40. what do you think “florists” do ?a. they sell flowers. b. they make bread or pastry.c. they offer enough room for having family parties.d. they sell special clothes for mothers day and fathers day.dwhen asked what they have done to help protect the environment, most people will almost mention recycling. recycling in the home is very important of course. however, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. we are dealing with the results of that overconsumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. the total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. it now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the uk. in many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard. too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. the uk, for example, is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste. if such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. the solution is not to produce such items in the first place. food waste is a serious problem, too. too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. however, few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. but this is not just about supermarkets. it is about all of us. we have learned to associate packaging with quality. we have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. this is especially true of food. but it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. there are signs of hope. as more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected. we need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.41. the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to_.a. having more material than is needed b. recycling too many wastes. c. making more products than necessary d. using too much packaging42. the author uses figures in paragraph 2 to show _ a. the tendency of cutting household waste b. the increase of packaging recycling c. the rapid growth of supermarkets d. the fact of packaging overuse43. according to the text, recycling _ a. helps control the greenhouse effect b. means burning packaging for energy c. is the solution to gas shortage d. leads to a waste of land44. it can be inferred from paragraph 4 that_. a. unpackaged products are of bad qualityb. it is improper to judge quality by packaging c. other products are better packaged than foodd. supermarkets care more about packaging45. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. people like collecting recyclable wastes b. needless material is mostly recycled c. fighting wastefulness is difficult d. the author is proud of their consumer culture第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。a. pasta house new italian restaurant located in the heart of the city. simple but
