【题目】When tea was first brought to England between 1652 and 1654, it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it. It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it ought to be used. Eventually they boiled the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale(麦芽酒)as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.
Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals — breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, massive meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788 — 1861) experienced a “sinking feeling” in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an additional afternoon meal at five o’clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking the fields”.
The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common pattern of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine porcelain(瓷器)from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second pot (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small flame. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.

A. how impolite the old couple were
B. how English people cooked tea
C. how difficult it was to introduce tea to England
D. how little English people knew about tea in those days

C. thirst D. anger
【3】According to the passage, the key factors of a typical afternoon tea include ____________.
a. cakes and bread
b. a massive meal
c. tea d. ale
e. fine porcelain
f. silver tea pot
g. a small flame
A. a, b, c, d, f B. a, c, e, f, g
C. a, b, e, f, g D. a, c, d, e, g
【4】We can know from the passage that afternoon tea ____________.
A. leads to the wide planting and large production of tea in England
B. helps bring King Charles II and his wife together in their childhood
C. is not only an additional afternoon meal but helps bring people together

【题目】Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.
“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers said excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and all kinds of other insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing(嘲笑)visitors. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”
Their goal was far too ambitious(有野心的), but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a goal is for — to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words, to set us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every relationship will endure(长久持续). Not every dream will be realized. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!”
It is in the digging that life is lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.
【1】Which of the following is NOT the reason why the older boys laughed at the two brothers?
A. The two brothers only dug out a lot of insects
B. The two brothers lacked knowledge of the earth.
C. The two brothers were foolish.
D. The two brothers had a far too ambitious goal.
【2】What does the underlined part “when you fall short of your aim” probably mean?
A. When you are shorter than you expected
B. When you have less than the amount than you wanted
C. When you fail to obtain(得到)what you expected
D. When you miss the target you are aiming at
【3】The passage is written to _____.
A. tell readers a story
B. teach readers how to set a goal
C. praise the two brothers
D. teach readers a lesson
【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Dig a Hole Through the Earth
B. Joy in the Journey
C. Realize Your Goal
D. Don’t Laugh at Others
