History of Afternoon Tea
Anna Maria Russel，the seventh Duchess（公爵夫人） of Bedford，introduced the idea of afternoon tea one summer in the early 1840s.The duchess became hungry around four o'clock.She began bringing a tray（托盤） of tea，bread，butter and cakes to her room during the late afternoon.Then it became popular all over the country.
High Tea or Low Tea

6．Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than "I'm sorry".This phrase has become such a common response（反應） that it has taken on a lot of meanings.
Saying "sorry" means to apologize（道歉）.This is simple and easy to understand.We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages.
But in Britain，it takes on another meaning.It is a cultural expression.Imagine this：a man walks down the street，looking down at his phone.A woman is walking in the opposite direction，but she can't get out of the way in time.The man bumps（碰撞） into the woman.Who should say sorry？Naturally，because it was he who wasn't looking where he was going.Yet in Britain，it is common for both to apologize.
It is known that British people，like most people，do not enjoy conflict the situation.British people will apologize to each other.
Other times，it may sound funny to hear "sorry".My British friends say it at restaurants，as they ask the waiter "Sorry"，but just to express that we need the waiter.In Britain， "sorry" doesn't always mean exactly what you think.
（1）What does the underlined phrase "taken on" mean in Paragraph 1？
A．noticed
B．trained
C．shown
D．pushed
（2）The example in the third paragraph is used to.
A．describe a situation that people should avoid
B．describe how "sorry" has another meaning in Britain
C．explain why people should say sorry to each other
D．show British like apologizing to each other
（3）It can be learned from Paragraph 5 that.
A．waiters use "sorry" to apologize to customers in Britain
B．it is very funny to hear people say "sorry" in Britain
C． "sorry" is used to ask waiters for help in restaurants in Britain
D．some people in Britain are impolite to waiters in a restaurant組卷：9難度：0.5 -
7．My mother is a teacher，and I grow up with the challenges a teacher faces.I often asked her， "Why do you teach？What keeps you teaching？" The answer was always the same： "My dear daughter，there is always that one child，that one moment that is worth （值得） it."
Now，I am a teacher，too.But different from my mother，I teach students challenging activities outdoors.And when my mother asked me the similar questions，my answer was： "It's that one child，that one special moment."
One of those moments happened recently.I was working with a group of girls in a four-week program.Everything went on well through the "Team" events and we were moving on to a "High" one called the Wire Walk（走鋼絲）.
In the Wire Walk，each girl had to climb up the pegs in a tree to a wire，8 meters high，and then walk across it.Of course，everything was safe for sure.
When I asked who would try first，a few girls raised their hands，and they finished the Wire Walk with little difficulty.
But when it was Susie's turn，it seemed that she didn't really want to.I asked Susie if she was ready.She answered softly， "I guess."
Now，Susie was at the foot of the tree.She started to make the long reach for the first peg.The other girls cheered for her.Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step.I realized she would not go much further.I talked quietly to Susie，trying to relax her.
Susie was halfway up.Then she stopped and held the tree tight，looking very afraid.Her eyes were closed.With her face against the tree，she cried， "can't."
The other girls watched her in silence.
"I will still be your friend whatever，Susie!" Mary broke the silence.
To my surprise，Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire.Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled.Mary smiled back.
Finally，Susie made it all the way across that wire.When she returned to the ground，the first hug she looked for was from Mary.We all cheered.
Moments like this keep me doing what I do.The young hearts continue to fill me with courage.

8．In 2010，six people made history when they sailed across the Pacific Ocean in a boat.Why was this special？Because the boat was made from 12，500 used plastic bottles，and its name was Plastiki.
The journey wasn't easy.They took 128 days to sail 9，000 miles across the ocean from California，USA to Australia.During this time，they lived on the boat，ate food from cans and took showers in sea water.So why did they do it？Because they wanted to draw people's attention to the problem of plastic waste.
The Plastiki project was started by David de Rothschild.In 2006，he read about plastic pollution in the seas and oceans，and learnt that one plastic bottle lasts for 450 years!
Plastic waste causes 80% of ocean pollution，kills a million seabirds and 100，000 fish and other sea animals.Many people think that this plastic waste comes from ships，but they're wrong.The amazing fact is that 80% of the plastic in the oceans is made of the rubbish we drop in our streets，parks and beaches.
The easiest way to make a difference is to stop using plastic shopping bags and disposable（一次性的） water bottles.The great thing is that now millions of people are "doing their own Plastiki " in their homes，schools and offices.
As David de Rothschild said， "We aren't scientists，we're ordinary people.We want to show that if we work together，we can do something".
（1）Which of the following is right about six people's journey？
A．They took about two months to sail across the ocean.
B．They sailed across the ocean from Canada to Australia.
C．They went on the journey by taking an unusual boat.
D．They ate sea food and drank sea water in the journey.
（2）What is the purpose of the journey over the sea？
A．To pick up rubbish like plastic bottles under the sea.
B．To carry out a scientific research on the sea animals.
C．To help people learn some tips for an enjoyable sail.
D．To make people know the problem of the plastic waste.
（3）How does the writer organize Paragraph 4？
A．By telling a story.
B．By listing numbers.
C．By showing opinions.
D．By asking questions.
（4）What may people do if they are "doing their own Plastiki"？
A．Turn used plastic into everyday objects and put into use.
B．Buy some plastic bags when shopping in the supermarket.
C．Use disposable plastic bottles to drink water in their office.
D．Stop people from dropping much food waste in the street.組卷：7引用：1難度：0.6
