21、While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.
Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.
There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托) for visitors.
Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than￡1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.
Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.
【1】Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?
A．Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.
B．The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.
C．Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.
D．UK citizens take pride in being “tea people”.
【2】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A．Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone
B．Since 2002, the sales of tea has been on the decrease
C．In 2013, the money spent on tea was￡3 billion
D．Most restaurants like selling tea than coffee
【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To introduce tea in the UK
B．To show the author’s preference for tea
C．To introduce the functions of tea
D．To compare tea in China and UK
22、Have you kept the secrets in your heart? Have you tried to hide anything from others? Is it all right if you don’t tell the truth? You’ll find the answer after reading the following passage.
Marie was Joey’s mother. There was something wrong with her son’s feet. The doctor told her that Joey would be able to walk like others, but would never run very fast. At the age of eight, Joey ran around with the children in his neighborhood. His mother never told him that he wouldn’t be able to run as fast as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In the seventh grade, he decided to try out for a runner on his school team. He ran more than any of the others in order to be chosen. Joey practiced running four to five miles a day--even one day when he had a high fever. Although Marie was worried about him, she never told him he couldn’t run with such a high fever. So he didn’t know.
Two weeks later, Joey made the team. Marie never told him he couldn’t do it. So he didn’t know. He just did it.
Although sometimes we don’t tell others the truth, it can make them optimistic and meet the challenge of their lives bravely. Why not go for it?

A．hands

23、Help Foreign Guests at Formal Dinner
The Spring Festival is coming. The traditional family banquet (宴会) is also coming. You probably have tried many different Chinese dishes. But do you really know how to behave properly at such an important meal? 【1】 Don’t worry if you are not sure, and here are some tips.
In the West, everyone has their own plate of food or elder people at the table taste every dish first. 【2】 It is always polite to let guests or elder people at the table taste every dish first.
Don’t put your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. 【3】 The reason for this is that when people die, family members give them a bowl of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like you want someone at the table to die.
Make sure the spout (壶嘴) of the teapot is not facing anyone as this is impolite. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.
【4】 Beggars (乞丐) are usually seen tapping (轻敲) on their bowls with chopsticks in the street, so tapping on bowls is not polite，especially when you eat in a friend’s home.
Although, teenagers are not supposed to drink any wine, you can still say “Ganbei” and drink to the health of your grandparents and parents. 【5】
A．It is sure to please them.
B．Instead, lay them on your dish.
C．Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.
D．Helping foreign guests at formal dinner is of great importance.
E．Could you explain Chinese polite table behaviors to a foreign visitor?
F．Therefore, Chinese people use chopsticks rather than knives and forks.
G．However, in China, the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.
