Question

【題目】The warm weather outside may look perfect for outdoor exercise. But for those who are not that sporty, 【1】 could be nicer than having relaxing afternoon tea with a few good friends and taking 【2】 break?

But are you familiar with the culture of afternoon tea—its origins, what 【3】 (include), and the proper etiquette (禮儀)? We sum up a few things you need to know about this traditional English custom so that you can enjoy it 【4】 (much).

While the tradition of 【5】 (drink) tea dates back to about 3,000 BC in China, it was not until the mid-17th century 【6】 the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared in the UK. In 1840, Anna Maria Russell, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, started to ask for a tea tray 【7】 butter, bread and cakes at 4 pm every day, as she found she was hungry at this time every day and the evening meal in her household was served 【8】 (fashion) late at 8 pm. She found this new habit difficult 【9】 (break) and soon invited other ladies in society to join her. This pause for tea quickly became a popular social event. In the 1880s, women of upper class and society would put on gowns, 【10】 (glove) and hats for their afternoon tea.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了下午茶的起源。

【1】what 這里作主語，指事情，沒有范圍，故填what。

【2】a 考查固定搭配。take a break意為“休息”的意思，故填a。

【3】is included 此處的意思是“被包含的東西”，要用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，故填is included。

【4】more 此處是說理解英國文化就能更好的去享受，因此必須用比較級(jí)，故填more。

【5】drinking 此空前面是介詞of，因此后面接動(dòng)詞用-ing形式，故填drinking。

【6】that 此句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，it was...that...，故填that。

【7】with 此處表伴隨，意為“伴有”，故填with。

【8】fashionably 副詞修飾形容詞，因此填fashionably

【9】to break 動(dòng)詞不定式作后置定語。故填to break。

【10】gloves 根據(jù)and hats可知，glove要用復(fù)數(shù)，故填gloves。
