The British have many traditions but there is nothing more typical than taking afternoon tea. We know the Brits have a love affair with drinking tea, with more than 160 million cups 【1】 (drink) every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea that turned tea-drink into 【2】 popular pastime.

This sociable feast involves drinking good quality tea 【3】 (comfort) while nibbling (小口吃) on nice sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a selection of small cakes. And, of course, it can only happen in the afternoon! Afternoon tea, which 【4】 (design) as a light snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, dates back to the 1840s. It went on to become a 【5】 (fashion) social occasion for the upper classes.

試題分析：文章介紹了英國傳統(tǒng)的下午茶及最近的發(fā)展趨勢。

【1】drunk.考查過去分詞。句中160 million cups和動詞drink是被動關系，用過去分詞表被動，指“下午茶被喝”，故填drunk。

【2】a.考查冠詞。句中pastime是可數(shù)名詞，此處指從喝茶變成了一種時尚消遣，表示“一種”，故填a。

【3】comfortably.考查副詞。此處修飾動詞drinking用副詞，表示“舒服地喝茶”，故填comfortably。

【4】was designed.考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句中Afternoon tea和動詞design是被動關系，指當時被設計的原因，用一般過去時的被動。故填was designed。

【5】fashionable.考查形容詞。此處修飾名詞詞組social occasion用形容詞，指“時尚的社交場合”。故填fashionable。

【6】popularity.考查名詞。此處由its修飾，指“它的普及”，用名詞。故填popularity。

【7】Although/Though/While.考查連詞。句意：盡管可以在家享受下午茶，但最好的方式是在巧妙的旅館或咖啡廳體驗。根據(jù)句意填Although /Though/ While。

【8】to enjoy.考查不定式。此處是不定式表目的，指去那種地方的目的是享受下午茶，故填to enjoy。

【9】being asked.考查動詞形式。avoid后加動詞的-ing形式，此處you和ask是被動關系，指避免被要求離開，故填being asked。

【10】known.考查過去分詞。句中ceremony和動詞know是被動關系，指這種儀式叫下午茶。故填known。
