Part3 Reading and Writing （第二部分 词汇与语法）
A. Choose the best answer
When we are talking about afternoon tea, what would you think of? A cup of tea, a piece of
cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?
We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was
Anna. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o’clock in the evening.
But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4
hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of bread, butter and cakes to her room during
the afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.
After Anna started enjoying the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes
and it later became a fashionable social event, giving a chance for people to meet new friends and
get news or new stories.
The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes.English tea is mainly India, which was originally transported by the East India Company.
Today, afternoon tea has been simplified because of the change of lifestyle. People use tea
bags instead of tea leaves. Cakes are no longer as various as those long time ago. They usually are
some pieces of biscuits or cakes.
But if you want to experience a real English afternoon tea, I would advise you to go to
Devonshire, where produces good cream and famous cream tea.
74. A lady called Anna created the custom of afternoon tea_________.
A) one evening B)After supper C) in the morning D) in 1840
75. _______ usually felt hungry at round 4 in the afternoon.
A) Anna herself B)Anna’s friends C)Anna’s servant D)people of upper class
76.During the late afternoon Anna’s servant doesn’t bring her _________.
A) a tray of tea B) some bread C) some tea bags D) butter and cakes
77). The afternoon tea gives a chance for people to meet friends and ________.
A) sell teacups B) live together C) bring food in D) get news or stories
78). English tea is mainly transported from __________.
A) America B)Canada C) India D) France
79. which of the following statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A) The change of lifestyle today has made afternoon tea simplified.
B) People like to use tea leaves instead of tea bags nowadays.
C) The afternoon tea offers more various cakes long time ago(than today).
D) The writer thinks Devonshire is a good place to experience a real English afternoon tea.
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单
词或短语完成短文）：（12分）
I was in a hurry as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I
found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid
for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up
some flowers.

“It’s only our second date to meet, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’.
Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out 82 she’d want to date a guy
like me.”
“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and
who is clearly in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every
week –even when times were 83 and we didn’t have much money. Those were unforgettable
days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was 84 her groceries. Almost immediately， I walked up to
her and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” Ihanded her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice talk.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “You have a
wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart 85 as I saw her smelling the
beautiful flowers.
I was a bit late for my date that night and told my girlfriend the above story. She smiled. Two
years later she told me it was that night that I won her heart.
80.A)before B)behind C)along D)against
81.A)taking up B)making a noise C)putting out D)coming out
82.A)why B)when C)who D)where

D. Answer the questions
On December 23, 2008, Niu Niu held a piano concert at the national Grand Theater (国家大剧院)
As an eleven-year-old boy, he became the youngest pianist ever to perform a concert (独奏音乐
会) at the theater.
Never too young to learn
Niu Niu was born into a musical family in Xiamen. His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu
Niu grew up listening to his father's student playing the piano. At just three years old, Niu Niuasked his father to teach him to play, too.
" I gave Niu Niu some sheet music and helped him find the eight notes when he first played the
piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct," said the father. He used to think that 3
years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow
Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.
Playing for fun
Zhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other
piano teachers, Zhang didn’t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning.
He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could
play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the
music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can memorize about 80 pages.
Rising to fame
In 2003, at the age of 6, Niu Niu successfully held a sole concert in his hometown Xiamen. At
the age of 8, he gave a performance at the International Piano Festival in France. At the age of 10,
Niu Niu played in London and his performance was praised by Prince Charles. Last year, this
young pianist published his first album “Niu Niu Plays Mozart” and over 10,000 copies have been
sold in the world.
We are very glad to see a young Chinese pianist rising in the music world.

When I was ten, my mother worked all day, so I had to take care of my younger sister, Jane.
At that time, Jane was about 4 years old and she missed mom all the time.
One day, after I had given her dinner, she started crying for mom. She really needed her
mother. So I dressed her, put on her shoes, carried her on my back and walked out to meet our
mother. Soon she fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that she lost a shoe while sleeping. I
took her off my back and put her down. I knew we needed to find that missing shoe, for our
mother couldn't afford new shoes. I had to go back to find it, so I told my sister to wait right there.
A man passing by stopped me when I walked off. He asked me: "You' re leaving your sister here
to find the shoe? What would you do if she was not here when you returned?" I didn't know how
to answer the question. He continued: "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose
your sister." Then he sent us to mom' s workplace by taxi.
In my life I have relied on the kindness of many strangers. I feel sorry that I can' t find them
and say "thank you". I do not even remember what their faces look like, but they let me know
what is more important, a person or a thing.

November 21 is World Television Day. The United Nations named the day in 1996. It helps
different countries get to know each other better by watching TV. Television is a very common
form of media that has influenced people's lives. There are more than one billion televisions in the
world today, according to the Canadian Museum of Civilization. In many countries, television
even reaches into villages without electricity — villages where television is powered by car
batteries. Television can be an excellent teacher with so many channels and programs. These
programs provide news of culture and events so that people can learn more about the other side of
the globe. Dramas and talk shows also give people a chance to relax after work. However, too
much television can harm children's health. Sci¬entists showed that children who spend over four
hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight and kids older than two should watch
no more than one to two hours a day.
