16、g was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about it. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was vey expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from

17、Holland did so only because it was 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

18、 bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce (稀少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it directly from China early in the 17th century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and

19、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 ple

20、asant that she would never again drink it without milk. She was such a great lady that 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 firs

21、t, 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 o'clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this ne

22、w meal with her, and so teatime was born.36What do we know about the introduction of tea into Britain?ATea reached Britain from Holland.BThe Britons got expensive tea from India.CThe Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.DIt was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.37W

23、hen did tea become a popular drink in Britain?AIn the late 19th century.BIn the 18th century.CIn the 17th century.DIn the 16th century.38People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because _.Ait tasted like milkBit tasted more pleasantCmilk was very popular at that timeDpeople tried to copy Madame

25、orts about a ripener used in several provinces.“There is no problem with using ethephon (乙烯磷) to ripen fruit. This plant growth regulator is completely the same as hormones produced by plants themselves when they get ripe，” Luo Yunbo, dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering u

26、nder China Agricultural University and an expert of plant physiology, told China Daily on Monday. “The chemical is safe enough that there is even no need for detection, for it has been used worldwide for decades.” Luo said.The national standard for the amount of residue (殘留) of the chemical is two m

27、illigrams in every kilogram of fruit, and experts said the actual dosage is far below that level, as overuse benefits neither farmers nor their fruit.“Overdose may make fruit ripen too rapidly and even rot, and will scorch the skin of fruit, which will harm sales for vendors，” Luo said.China learned

28、 the use of the hormone from the United States and Japan, which is a pioneer in research and use of plant growth accelerators and regulators. Ethephon, an organic compound, is an agricultural plant growth stimulant that is sprayed on 70 or 80 percent ripe fruit after they have been picked. It gives

29、off ethylene to facilitate ripening.Some fruit, such as bananas, will rot instead of ripen without such a ripener, according to experts.“The traditional way to ripen bananas is to put them together with mature apples, which can release ethephon to help bananas ripen, or ripen them by fuming with jos

30、s sticks. But these two ways may give bananas uneven color when they turn yellow, and the fruit will never have achieved mass production，” Luo said.People interviewed by China Daily said it is easy to stir panic about additives or growth accelerators, as food safety is a major concern.40What does th

34、e new standard about using the fruit ripener.CBrownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. These two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their owners' houses.One evening, Brownie's family

35、noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing.Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone and kept barking (叫). Busy with the

36、ir own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie's owner, was troubled by the little dog. Across an empty lot, the little dog led the man to a wild place a half mile from the house. There Ted found his Br

37、ownie alive, one of his legs was crushed (夾進(jìn)) in a steel leg­hold trap. Ted now wished he'd taken Spotty's barking seriously. Then Ted noticed something unbelievable.Spotty had done more than simply led Ted to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found the dog foo

Spotty had stayed with Brownie to protect him, sleeping with him at night to keep him warm and rubbing noses with him to k

39、eep his spirits up.Brownie's leg was carefully treated and he recovered soon. In the following many years, the two families watched the two friends playing and running after each other down that worn path between their houses.44We can infer from the second paragraph that _.ABrownie didn't re

His n

43、ame was Laurent Clerc. He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded America's first school for the deaf. Laurent Clerc was born in a small village near Lyons, France, on December 26, 1785. When he was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his

44、sense of smell. At 12, Clerc entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he excelled (突出) in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher. Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned ab

45、out the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution f

46、or the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return, he asked Clerc to come with him. Clerc accepted on one condition that he would stay in America only a short time. The two men

47、set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Clerc studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversa

48、tions about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut. At the school, Clerc led a busy life. He taught signs to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education. I

49、n 1819, Clerc married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had six children. He retired from teaching in 1858. Although he had intended to return to France, he never did. He died on July 18, 1869 in the United States.48Why did Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet sail to London? AHe needed to finish

Items those men, women, and children left behind when they died everything from clothing to jewelry and tools tell anthropologists a lot. And sometimes even their

54、 words survive.Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in America. The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago, long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World. Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface. They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal, Mexico, which was once th
