22、 Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. 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 rare 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 found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock 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】What does this passage mainly discuss?
A．How tea-time was born in Holland.
B．The history of tea drinking in Britain.
C．How tea became a popular drink in France.
D．How the Britons got the habit of drinking afternoon tea.
【3】When did tea become a popular drink in Britain?
A．In the eighteenth century.
B．In the sixteenth century.
C．In the seventeenth century.
D．In the late seventeenth century.
【4】Why did people in Europe begin to drink tea with milk?
A．It tasted like milk.
B．It was good for health.
C．It became a popular drink.
D．They tried to copy the way Madame de Sevigne drank tea.
23、Even though people have been paralyzed (瘫痪的) playing sports like rugby and football, extreme sports take the whole ordeal (磨难) to the next level. Sports like downhill cycling are very dangerous because one would be going downhill, over rocky or dirt zone, through forests, even at potentially deadly speeds. A slip up could be your downfall.
Nobody who gets into extreme sports goes with the desire to do harm to themselves. With that, athletes train for years and years before they attempt anything extreme. To most people, extreme sports are extreme simply because they take more skill than what an average person has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extreme thing become a daily routine, which does not wipe out the danger, but greatly reduces it.
Even when there is a lot of skill involved, things might not go the athlete’s way, not at all. Luck and circumstances have a lot to do with how things develop, whether above 8,000 meters or in a wood, going downhill. In some places, crossing the street is an extreme sport, considering how wild traffic can get.
Some view parkour, the sports of running, jumping and climbing under, around and through buildings, as an extreme sport, while it is more of a life philosophy, where the athlete does not have to do anything remotely dangerous. Free soloing, which means climbing a rock or ice face without safety gear, is absolutely deadly, where one slip means almost certain death, depending on the height, of course. Skateboarding is relatively safe, but if you constantly find ridiculous places to practice on, like the fence of a bridge, then things can get very complicated. The extreme part depends on the athlete.
To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.
【1】Why is downhill cycling mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．To call for attention to extreme sports.
B．To introduce the origin of extreme sports.
C．To illustrate the danger of extreme sports.
D．To show the complexity of the extreme sports.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about regarding extreme sports?
A．Extreme sports differ from one another.
B．Skill matters a lot in maintaining safety.
C．Athlete’s luck is a key factor that influences safety.
D．Extreme sports are more dangerous than regular sports.
【3】In Paragraph 4, several extreme sports are listed to ________.
A．explain danger depends on the athlete
B．show free soloing is the most dangerous
C．compare which one involves the most skill
D．demonstrate how to choose an extreme sport
【4】Which would best describe the author’s attitude towards the danger of extreme sports?
A．Doubtful.
B．Objective.
C．Intolerant.
D．Uninterested.
【5】Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A．Do Extreme Sports Test Your Courage?
B．Why Should Extreme Sports Be Banned?

24、Szilajka Erzsebet is a Hungarian artist who turns ordinary pebbles into amazing works of art. The artist says she’s inspired by the pebbles’ shape, the richness of their patterns, and the beauty of nature. “I use all the pebbles in their original form shaped only by nature itself.” says Szilajka.
When Szilajka is creating her art, she lets her feelings shape the details. “This way the completed picture becomes dynamic in spite of the fact that the pebbles themselves play a static role in the work of art,” explains the artist. “It’s like a photo taken in the perfect time. It includes the movement, the feeling, the story which can be continued. This way there are not only pebbles in the pictures but invisible fingerprints and ‘soul-prints’ as well.”
When creating her art, Szilajka often relies on her customers’ ideas but uses her artistic freedom as well. “If I only listen to myself, I do think that the most essential elements in life stand on the simplest things,” says the artist. “For me, art is adding that little something extra to simple subject matters.”
The artist believes that the completed work of art is not only her own but a common creation of the artist and the receiver. “These two things together is pebble art,” explains Szilajka. “It only becomes a real work of art if it really means something to the receivers as they have the opportunity to add their own feelings and thoughts as well. Pebbles have no face, so anyone can enter and play a part in a pebble picture…”
【1】What’s the feature of her work according to Szilajka?
A．It’s original and dynamic.
B．It’s creative and picturesque.
C．It’s imaginative and static.
D．It’s emotional and inspiring.
【2】What does the underlined “It” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A．A pebble.
B．A pebble picture.
C．A photo.
D．Nature itself.
【3】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A．The inspiration of Szilajka’s creation.
B．The concept of Szilajka’s creation.
C．The significance of Szilajka’s creation.
D．The rewards of Szilajka’s creation.
【4】What’s the genre of the text?
A．A feature.
B．An argumentative essay.
C．A biography.
D．A personage introduction.
