24、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 should be used. Finally they boiled(煮沸) the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon(咸肉) 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, big 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 extra 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 form 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 china from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second bottle (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small fire. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.
【1】The story of the old couple in Paragraph 1 is to show ____________.
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
【2】The underlined phrase “sinking feeling” in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of _________.
A. hunger B. loneliness C. thirst D. anger
【3】Which statement is right according to the passage?
A. Tea was first introduced to England in the 16th century.
B. Ale was the national drink of England after King Charles II.
C. The habit of drinking tea in Britain came from the upper class.
D. Anna, the Duchess of Bedford first served afternoon tea in London.
【4】We can know from the passage that afternoon tea ____________.
A. helps raise the price of tea and china in England
B. leads to the wide planting and large production of tea in England
C. is not only an extra afternoon meal but helps bring people together
D. helps bring King Charles II and his wife together in their childhood

26、 Columbus was an Italian. He believed the world was round, though few people knew or believed it at that time. He thought if he always went west, he would at last get to India. His friend, Isabella, the queen of Spain, gave him support which made it possible for him to start his journey.
On August 3, 1492, Columbus started from Spain with three small ships. He and his men stepped into what was then an unknown sea. Many thought that they would never come back. On and on they went with their ships, not knowing where they were going!

27、Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American—George Washington. Benjamin was black, but he was not a slave (奴隶). He and his mother and his grandmother were free. Benjamin’s grandmother came from England. In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her boat trip across the ocean. After working many years, she saved enough money to buy a farm. Benjamin lived with her for a while. She taught him to read, write and do arithmetic (算术).
Benjamin’s neighbours knew that he was clever. They were not surprised when he built a large wooden clock. He made each piece after studying a small pocket watch. The clock made him famous, for it was one of the first clocks built in America. People from other places began to send hard problems of all kinds to Benjamin to settle.
Thomas Jefferson heard of Benjamin Banneker’s ability to settle hard problems. He asked Banneker to help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States—Washington, D.C. Banneker worked hard on the plans for the city. He marked where the streets and buildings—the Capitol (美国国会大厦), the White House, and many other places should be built.
Later, L’ Enfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a quarrel, and went back to France in anger. He took all of the plans away. The workmen couldn’t build without any plans to follow.
For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed, but Benjamin Banneker remembered the plans he had helped draw. He drew each again as he had built each piece of his clock.
