ownerofacoffeehouse,soldthefirstteainLondon.Thedrinksoonbecamepopularasanotherchoicebesidescoffee.”可知,ThomasGarway使得喝茶在英国变得流行。所以A选项是正确的。13.【答案】C【解析】词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Amongthosewhohadthemoneyfortea,itbecameverypopularasadrinktobeenjoyedincafésand‘teagardens’.”可知,喝茶在英国变为一种习俗。所以该词的意思是“传统习俗”。所以C选项是正确的。14.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中“inaround1800,startedthepopular‘afternoontea’,...anewwayofeatingbreadwithsomething(e.g.jam)betweenthem”可知,在1800年左右,“下午茶”和三明治一起流行起来。故选D项。15.【答案】B【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,本文讲述的是英国的茶文化,而正是英国人ThomasGarway使得喝茶在英国变得流行,所以B选项是正确的。16.【答案】G【解析】从下文的“Instead，ifamanispoorlyorcommonlydressed，hecan’tavoidbeinglookeddownuponandunfairlytreated...”可知，空格处的句子与此句为意义相反的两个排比句，也应该是以if开头。故选G项。17.【答案】F【解析】从前边标点是逗号可知，只能在A项和F项中选择，又因为前边说的是穿着不好会被人看不起，遭到不公平对待，所以此处应该用for引导的并列分句说明原因。18.【答案】D【解析】从后面的句子意思来看，作者对穿着的看法与第一段提到的人们的普遍看法相反，所以此空中的句子应该是由but引导的。故选D项。19.【答案】C【解析】因为前面说的是只有内在的素质和美给人留下永久的印象，所以空中的句子应该说的是衣服只是一种外在的美，不会使一个人的素质更高，与后面的Onthecontrary吻合。20.【答案】A【解析】根据上面几段内容的介绍和空前的Insummary可知，此处是对全文观点的一个总结，故选A项。21.【答案】B【解析】repair修理；make做，制造；draw画；buy买。根据下一句中的“startedbuildinghisplane”可知，PaenLong的梦想是“做”一架飞机。build与make是同义词。故选B。22.【答案】C【解析】carefully仔细地，认真地；impatiently不耐烦地；secretly秘密地，偷偷地；suddenly突然地。根据下一句“‘Iwasafraidthatpeople...sosometimesIworkedatnight，’hesaid.”可知，PaenLong偷偷地(secretly)造他自己的飞机。故选C。23.【答案】B【解析】makeuseof利用；makefunof取笑，嘲笑；gettiredof对……厌烦；turnto转向，求助于。根据上下文可知，PaenLong有时候在晚上造飞机，是因为害怕别人“嘲笑”他。故选B。24.【答案】A【解析】Itwasalongtimebefore...为固定句式，意为“多久以后才……”。根据上下文的内容可知，过了好长时间，PaenLong才将他的梦想付诸实践。故选A。25.【答案】B【解析】expect期望，预测；save储蓄，攒钱；steal偷；borrow借。根据语境可知，PaenLong用经营汽车修理厂“攒下”的钱来制造飞机。故选B项。26.【答案】B【解析】answer回答；learn学习；control控制；guess猜测。根据语境可知，PaenLong花了三年时间看YouTube视频的目的是为了“学习”如何制造飞机。故选B项。27.【答案】B【解析】design设计；flight飞行，航班；interview面试，采访；meeting会见，见面。根据语境可知，这里指第一次“飞行”。故选B项。28.【答案】C【解析】therefore因此；besides此外，除……之外(还)；however可是，然而；otherwise否则。根据下文的“...theplaneonlygot50mintheairbeforecrashing...”可知，这次飞行失败，与上文是转折关系。故选C项。29.【答案】D【解析】angry生气的；excited激动的；proud自豪的；embarrassed尴尬的。根据语境可知，飞机在空中只飞行了50米就撞到了地上，所有的人都在看他，由此可知，PaenLong感到很尴尬。故选D。30.【答案】D【解析】appear出现，显然；continue继续；change变化，改变；fail失败。根据上文语境可知，第一次试飞失败。故选D。31.【答案】A【解析】determined坚定的；kind善良的；nervous紧张的；upset心烦的。根据下文中的“Hisnextprojectistobuildaseaplane.”可知，尽管第一次尝试失败，但是PaenLong依然意志坚定。故选A。32.【答案】B【解析】serious严重的；sorry对不起的，遗憾的；hungry饥饿的；grateful感激的。根据语境可知，PaenLong制造飞机花了那么多钱，但他从未感到遗憾。故选B。33.【答案】C【解析】chance机会；aim目标；choice选择；reason理由。根据文章最后两句可知，尽管他的妻子很担心他，但是她别无选择，只好支持他。故选C。34.【答案】A【解析】expert专家；classmate同学；volunteer志愿者；worker工人。根据下文的“Hecanonlysearch
