VI. Choose the best answer(阅读理解):(共50分)
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(精简的) 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

A) America B)Canada C) India D) France
79. which of the following statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

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

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.” I handed 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.
