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 Ⅱ.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 o f“afternoon tea”，a ceremony taking place at about four o'clock.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 bread—in 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 Britain's favorite drink.In working­class households，it was served with the main meal of the day，eaten when workers returned home after a day's 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 Britain—with the exception of water.1．What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?A．Its development in Britain.B．Its traditional ways of drinking.C．Its influence around the world.D．Its popularity in Europe.2．What do the underlined words“the beverage”probably refer to?A．Tea drinking.B．A small meal.C．A way of eating bread.D．A choice of drinks.3．Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?A．It was merely served in London.B．It was taxed as an alcoholic drink.C．It was forbidden in business settings.D．It was too expensive for most people.4．How is the text organized?A．By cause and effect.B．By comparison.C．In time order.D．In frequency order.【解题导语】本文介绍了茶在英国的进展历史及其受欢迎的缘故。

Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son.

It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My wife says no because we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession (不景气) means no argument next year —we just won’t go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov survey of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women. ＂People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for, ＂ he explains. ＂They’ll say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.＂ He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buyin g status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.＂The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.＂1. What does the author say about going on holiday in Paragraph 1?A. It will cost them too much money.B. Few people can afford it without working hard.C. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.D. It is the chief cause of family quarrels.2. According to the text, what does Kim Stephenson believe?A. Money is often a symbol of a person’s status.B. Money means a great deal to both men and women.C. Men and women spend money on different things.D. Men and women view money in different ways.3. The author suggests that couples should________.A. put their money together instead of keeping it separatelyB. discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationshipC. make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgetsD. avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic【文章大意】文章通过度假的问题引入话题，男人和女人对钱的看法是不一样的，夫妻应该就钱的问题多进行讨论，这样可以建立健康的关系。

Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s Life”, which featured Sir Winton.

Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of one hundred and six, in 2015. Leaders around the world paid tribute (悼念).

Plastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polye thylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic. ＂1. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.2. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.【文章大意】本文为说明文。

You might make a disgusted face when you notice that the person waiting in their car at the red light next to you is picking their nose，but admit it，you do it too.And while it might be the natural option when there isn't a box of tissues around，it can be bad for you.The main reasons why people feel the need to pick their nose are to clear it of dried liquid，stop an itch(痒)，or just because it feels good.Boogers(鼻屎)form when dried liquid and cilium，the tiny hairs that line the nostrils(鼻孔)，trap the dust，dirt，and other things.When boogers build up in your nose，it can be uncomfortable，and sometimes just blowing them into a tissue doesn't do_the_trick.Otolaryngologist Erich P．Voigt，MD，told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils.That's not terribly damaging，but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body，it can cause a cold.So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose.If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils，making you want to pick，consider damping the air at home，or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there.Children，who are most famous for having a finger in their nose，sometimes don't realize how much injury they're causing，and sometimes it can lead to nose bleeding.So，next time you go to pick your nose，think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers，and maybe reach for a tissue instead.Even if you're alone，and not waiting for the light to turn green，please，use a tissue.1．Why do people pick their nose?A．Because they want to disgust others.B．Because they have the need to do it.C．Because they have nothing else to do.D．Because they don't have tissues around.2．Which of the following can replace th e underlined part“do the trick”in Paragraph 1?A．act B．cheatC．play D．help3．Which can help people avoid a cold and flu according to the text?A．Stopping picking the nose.B．Using tissues regularly.C．Taking a shower every day.D．Keeping the air wet at home.4．What should you do when you have to pick your nose?A．Be careful not to cause bleeding.B．Use a tissue instead of bare fingers.C．Wait for the light to turn red if you are driving.D．Wash your hands and clear your fingernails.【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们抠鼻子的原因以及抠鼻子所带来的不良后果，并呼吁人们需要时用纸巾而不是用手指抠鼻子。
