People 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 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 tea. Until 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 added. She 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.1. Which 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.2. This passage mainly discusses _.A. the history of tea drinking in Britain B. how tea became a popular drink in BritainC. how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea D. how tea-time was born3. Tea became a popular drink in Britain _.A. in the eighteenth centuryB. in the sixteenth centuryC. in the seventeenth centuryD. in the late seventeenth century4. People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because _.A. it tasted like milk B. it was good for health C. it became a popular drinkD. they tried to copy the way Madame de Sevigne drank tea5. _ thought of drinking tea in the afternoon and tea-time was born.A. A duchessB. Madame de SevigneC. A dukeD. We dont know.BIt is natural that children are curious (好奇的) about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯，职业) in science.Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world. Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the sky. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, eg physics, chemistry.These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world. For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too. So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty?” Scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.6.

Men and women are curious about different things.D. People of different ages are interested in different things.7. Scientists who work with the biological sciences study _.A. the earth, the oceans and the skyB. man-made things C. plants and animalsD. ocean water8. When you run, your muscles need _.A. more nutrition and oxygenB. more signalsC. more saltD. water9.

C解析：lead to导致；bring in引进；give in投降；owe to归功于。根据句义选C。2. B解析：apologize to sb for doing sth意为“为某事向某人道歉”。3. C解析：forgive sb意为“原谅某人”。4. D解析：take place = happen，意为“发生”。5. C解析：cover = be enough for，意为“够用”。本题不能选D项，因为meet表示“支付， 偿付(某费用)”时，主语一般是人。6. D解析：turn to意为“致力于”，to为介词，which引导一个定语从句，修饰先行词the subject。7. D解析：set aside意为“留出”；set free意为“释放”；set off意为“出发，引起”；set out意为“出发，准备(做某事)”。8. C解析：remind sb of sth意为“提醒某人某事”；thanks for doing sth意为“为某事感谢某人”。9. C解析：此处考查短语on the way to doing sth，意为“正要”。10. A解析：mean doing sth意为“意味着做某事”；mean to do sth意为“意欲做某事”。11. A解析：答话人说“我现在不能细讲，因为可能要花很长时间”。由此可知这里考查情态动词表推测。would此处不表时态，表示可能性弱于will的推测。should表示“理应”；might, could表示较小的可能性，均不符合题意。12. B解析：Lisa 在这儿住的时间不长。因此，她不可能认识很多人。情态动词can在这里表示推测，主要用于疑问句、否定句和条件句。neednt表示“不必”；shouldnt表示“不应该”，都不用于推测；didnt和前一句的时态矛盾，因此排除。13. A 解析：句义为“如果你只读了这篇文章的一部分，你怎么能说你真正理解了整个故事呢？”14. A解析：shall与第二人称搭配表示对听话者的警告。句义为“你要是不小心地使用我的电脑，你就不能用”。15. C解析：根据题意，这里表示“不可能”。may, must表推测时，常常用于肯定句，不用于否定句、疑问句
