Unit 2 The environment李仕才一、阅读理解。Tea，the most typical English drink，became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess，Catherine of Braganza，the queen of Charles .As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal，she brought teadrinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the_beverage in the 17th century.The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes，and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day.Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning，thus inventing a lasting British institution，the“tea break”However，drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people.It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.Around 1800，the seventh Duchess of Bedford，Anna Maria Russell，began the popular practice of“afternoon tea”，a ceremony taking place at about four oclock.Until then，people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner.At approximately the same time，the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating breadin thin slices，with something like jam or cucumbers between them.Before long，a small meal at the end of the afternoon，involving tea and sandwiches, became part of the British way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century，its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society.Thus，tea became Britains favorite drink.In workingclass households，it was served with the main meal of the day，eaten when workers returned home after a days labor.This meal has become known as“high tea”Today，tea can be drunk at any time of the day，and accounts for over twofifths of all drinks consumed in Britainwith the exception of water.1What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?AIts development in Britain.BIts traditional ways of drinking.CIts influence around the world.DIts popularity in Europe.2What do the underlined words“the beverage”probably refer to?ATea drinking.BA small meal.CA way of eating bread.DA choice of drinks.3Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?AIt was merely served in London.BIt was taxed as an alcoholic drink.CIt was forbidden in business settings.DIt was too expensive for most people.4How is the text organized?ABy cause and effect.BBy comparison.CIn time order.DIn frequency order.【解题导语】本文介绍了茶在英国的发展历史及其受欢迎的原因。1A考查主旨大意。从文章第一段的“in the 17th century”、第二段的“Around 1800”及第三段的“during the 19th century”可知，本文主要介绍了茶在英国的发展。故选A项。2A考查词义猜测。从文中的“she brought teadrinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the_beverage”可知，她把喝茶的习惯带到了英国皇室并开启了英国人喝茶的潮流，故选A项。3D考查细节理解。从文章第一段的“However, drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people.It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well”可知，17世纪，在英国茶不能作为一种普遍的饮料的原因是对大多数英国人来说，它的价格高并被征税。故选D项。A项错在“merely”，文中未提及；B项错在“alcoholic”，文中并未提及；C项错在“forbidden in business settings”，与文章第一段的内容不符。4C考查细节理解。从文章第一段的“in the 17th century”、第二段的“Around 1800”及第三段的“during the 19th century”可知，文章是按照时间顺序来组织的。故选C项。二、单项选择。1.For an artist who has no lack of passion and great courage to overcome any difficulty，inspirations of his artwill never _.A. break out B. run out C. work out D. pull out【答案】B【解析】run out 用完，耗尽，符合句意。break out 爆发；work out 计算，解决；pull out 驶出，脱离。句意：对于一个不缺少激情和有勇气战胜任何困难的艺术家来说，他的艺术灵感将永远不会枯竭。2.Meeting again by chance, Lucy and Amy are delighted to _ the friendship where it left out years ago.A. set up B. build up C. bring up D. pick up【答案】D【解析】set up 成立，建立；build up 逐步建立，增进；bring up 养育，培养；pick up 拾起，偶然学到，接收到，中途搭车，和好如初。pick up the friendship 意为“重拾友谊”，根据“where it left out years ago”(意为“在几年前遗落的地方(重拾友谊)”)，说明这里填 build up(建立友谊)不合适。句意：碰巧又见面了，露西和艾米高兴地在她们数年前中断友谊的地方重拾友谊(即：中断的友谊仍可以重新开始)。3.It was never clear _ the man hadnt reported the accident sooner.A. that B. how C. when D. why【答案】D【解析】 句中的 it 是形式主语， 真正的主语是“_ the man hadnt reported the accident sooner.”根据句意，原句要表达的是“为什么这个老人没有立马报案这件事还未查明。 ”4.We are committed to creating a world free from the homeless and the hopeless, a world _ each and everycomer is a true paradise.A. that B. which C. of which D. from where【答案】C【解析】.of which 实际上就=whose.。句意：我们致力于创造一个没有无家可归者和无望者的世界，一个其中每一个角落都是真正天堂的世界。5.Alice hasnt turned up so far. _ if she is absent today?
