When tea and coffee were first introduced to Europe in the 18th century, people had different ideas about their use.Some said that tea and coffee were harmful to humans and they could cause （引起）people to die.
In Sweden（瑞典）, King Gustaf Ⅲ decided to find out whether or not this was true.It happened that there were two brothers in prison at that time.They were twins and were almost alike in every way.They had both been sentenced to death (判处死刑).The King decided to let them live if one of the men agreed to drink several cups of tea each day and the other several cups of coffee.
Both brothers lived many years without problems of any kind.At last,the brother who had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83,the other died a few years later.
Because of the experiment(实验), tea and coffee got accepted (接受) and became popular as drink in Sweden, and it is one of the many countries of the world where much tea and coffee is drunk today.
【小题1】Tea and coffee were first introducd to Europe in_______.
| A．the eighteenth century | B．the eighteen century |
| C．eighteenth centuries | D．eighteen centuries |

| C．little tea and coffee | D．much tea but little coffee |
【小题1】.A
【小题2】C
【小题3】. B
【小题4】.B
解析试题分析：
【小题1】通过in the 18th century“在十八世纪”可知，这里的“十八”是第十八的意思，应该用序数词，另外，十八世纪是一个世纪，所以不能用复数，所以本题应该选择A。
【小题2】通过 they could cause （引起）people to die.可知，前一句的意思应该是“一些人说茶和咖啡对人是有害的。”故harmful应该是“有害的”意思。所以本题选C。
【小题3】.通过at last,the brother who had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83可知，喝茶的活到了83岁，A说over 83“超过83”是不对的；B说，在另一个死后多年，喝茶的死，根据the other died a few years later.可知，喝茶的比喝咖啡的先死的，所以B是不对的；D说，喝了几年茶就死了，明显与题意不符。所以本题选B。
【小题4】.通过tea and coffee got accepted (接受) and became popular as drink in Sweden,和where much tea and coffee is drunk today.可知，本题的答案应该选B。
考点：本题考查的记叙文体。
点评：本文讲述了最初当茶和咖啡传到欧洲时的情景，当时的瑞典国王为了验证茶和咖啡是否有害，进行了一个实验。经过试验后，茶和咖啡得以迅速传播。在完成本题时，应该注意世纪的表达法和根据句子的意思来猜词，另外还应注意区分短文细节等。

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
In China, for example, people always drink tea when they are getting together. They drink it at any time of the day at homes or in the teahouses. They prefer plain tea, with nothing else in it.
Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called tea ceremony（茶道）. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.
Another tea-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and a few sandwiches at tea time. This is the so-called “Afternoon Tea” in Britain.
In the United States, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea—“iced tea”. Sometimes they drink canned iced tea, just as soda.

Nothing beats sitting down in front of the TV with some delicious candy or tasty French fries.
Recently, an online list of favorite snacks in China became popular. It says that peanuts (花生), walnuts (核桃) and chocolate are good for our health, but jelly (果冻), potato chips and lollipops (棒棒糖) are “bad” for us.
Kids, though, hardly care if the snacks are good or bad for their health. They love them either way. Some snacks often have special importance in a certain country or culture.
Potato chips and French fries are very popular in the US. They are cheap and tasty. People don’t need to wait for a long time to eat it. Popcorn is another common snack. People love eating it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement park. Most cinemas sell it to attract customers.
In the UK, kids often sit down for snacks after school. They call this “afternoon tea”. A traditional afternoon tea includes biscuits (饼干) and tea. People also have scones (烤饼) with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack.
In South Korea, Choco Pie is one of the most popular snacks. It’s also a favorite of soldiers. The sweet snack makes them happy and helps them get through hard times.
However, it is not just about what you eat as a snack – it’s how much you eat and when. Chips and French fries are high in calories(卡路里) and eating too much may make you fat. Sweet snacks like candy and chocolate are high in sugar and eating a lot may give you bad teeth.

A．China B．Canada C．America D．England
