第一篇
The Beginning of American Literature
America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth
century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from
poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that
hope.When,however,does American literature begin?
American literature begins with Amnerican experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before
Christopher Columbus，before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,Native Americans
lived here. Each trilbe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daiiy life and reflected the unmistakably
American experience of lining with the land。Anoiher kind of experience,one filled with fear and excite-
ment,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain,French and
English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell
unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.
Experience,then,is the key to early American literature.The New World provided a great variety of
experiences,and these experiences deniauded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early
American writers.These wnters included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American
continent.They included Jonathlan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British sub-
jects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.
American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners一they are all the creators
of the first American literature.What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?
A:About the everyday life of the native Americans.
B:About the arrival of Columbus.
C:About the experience of the first European settlers.
D:About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.答案：A解析：首先找到“that hope”在文章中的位置：就是指第一段第二句中“…a genuine hope of a new life,”意思是：开始新生活的真诚希望。故选B。
从第二段第二句可知：很早以前，本上美国人就居住在这里。既然前一句说“美国文学 产生于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知美国文学产生于很早以前就居住这里的本土美国人的 生活经历。故选D。
由文章第一二段第三句话“Each tribe' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land.”可知，从美洲土著 部落的文学中，我们可以找到他们日常生活的写照。
文章最后一段的第一句“Experience, then, is the key to early American literature.”是本 段的主题句，说的是：经历是早期美国文学的关键因素。
文章最后一段中“These writers included Johon Smith , who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of them- selves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”意思是：这些文学家包括仅在美洲居住两年半的约翰·史密斯，还 有约翰逊·爱德华和维廉姆·白伊德。这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会 创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对 美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -

EThe unusually rapid way that tea was developed into a beverage
正确答案： B解析：

第12题：
问答题Practice 3 Tea, that most quintessential of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid-17th century that the beverage first appeared in England. The use of tea spread slowly from its Asian homeland, reaching Europe by way of Venice around 1560, although Portuguese trading ships may have made contact with the Chinese as early as 1515. It was the Portuguese and Dutch traders who first imported tea to Europe, with regular shipments by 1610. England was a latecomer to the tea trade, as the East India Company did not capitalize on tea’s popularity until the mid-18th century. Coffee Houses Curiously, it was the London coffee houses that were responsible for introducing tea to England. One of the first coffee house merchants to offer tea was Thomas Garway, who owned an establishment in Exchange Alley. He sold both liquid and dry tea to the public as early as 1657. Three years later he issued a broadsheet advertising tea at ￡6 and ￡10 per pound (ouch!), touting its virtues at “making the body active and lusty”, and “preserving perfect health until extreme old age”. Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and by 1700 over 500 coffee houses sold it. This distressed the tavern owners, as tea cut their sales of ale and gin, and it was bad news for the government, who depended upon a steady stream of revenue from taxes on liquor sales. By1750 tea had become the favored drink of Britain’s lower classes. Taxation on Tea Charles II did his bit to counter the growth of tea, with several acts forbidding its sale in private houses. This measure was designed to counter sedition, but it was so unpopular that it was impossible to enforce it. A 1676 act taxed tea and required coffee house operators to apply for a license. This was just the start of government attempts to control, or at least, to profit from the popularity of tea in Britain. By the mJd-18th century the duty on tea had reached an absurd119%. This heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry-tea smuggling. Smuggling Tea Ships from Holland and Scandinavia brought tea to the British coast, then stood offshore while smugglers met them and unloaded the precious cargo in small vessels. The smugglers, often local fishermen, snuck the tea inland through underground passages and hidden paths to special hiding places. One of the best hiding places was in the local parish church! Even smuggled tea was expensive, however, and therefore extremely profitable, so many smugglers began to adulterate the tea with other substances, such as willow, licorice, and sloe leaves. Used tea leaves were also retried and added to fresh leaves.正确答案： 参考译文
茶是英国最具代表性的饮品,然而,茶来到英国是比较晚的。虽然饮茶的习俗可以追溯到公元前2000多年前的中国,但直到17世纪中叶茶才第一次出现在英国。
饮茶的习惯从亚洲逐渐传开,到1560年前后才从威尼斯进入欧洲——尽管葡萄牙商船可能早在1515年就与中国有了贸易往来。
最先把茶运进欧洲的是葡萄牙和荷兰的商人,到1610年已经有船定期运茶了。在茶叶贸易方面,英国是后来者,因为直到18世纪中叶,东印度公司才开始抓住茶叶受欢迎的商机。
咖啡馆令人不可思议的是,将茶推介给英国人的是伦敦的咖啡馆。托马斯·加威是第一批在咖啡馆里供应茶的商人之一。他在伦敦交易街开了一家咖啡馆,早在1657年就向人们出售茶水和茶叶。三年后他印制了大幅的茶广告,将茶的售价定为每磅6英镑到10英镑(哇!),并宣扬饮茶的好处在于“强身健体,滋阴壮阳”,而且“耄耋之年,旺壮矍铄”。
茶在咖啡馆里很快风行起来。到1700年已经有500多家咖啡馆卖茶。这使餐馆老板们感到苦恼:茶减少了他们啤酒和杜松子酒的销售。对政府也不是好消息,征收酒税是政府税收的一个稳定来源。到1750年时,茶在英国的下层民众中已经是很受欢迎的饮料了。
查尔斯二世时期颁布茶税是因为他极力想遏制茶的发展,他颁布了几道法令禁止私家咖啡馆售茶。这项措施意在打击反政府的离叛行为,但是它太不得人心,无法执行。1676年颁布的一条法案开始征收茶税,并要求咖啡馆老板申请售茶许可证。
这只是英国政府企图对茶叶加以控制的开端,至少,也是想从风靡英国的茶中获利。到18世纪中叶,茶税已经抽到119%,真是荒谬之至。这一重税致使一个新的行业出现—茶叶走私。
茶叶走私从荷兰和斯堪的纳维亚来的船只将茶运到英国海岸,把船停在离岸不远的地方,然后,走私者登上船只,将贵重的茶叶转卸到小船上。这些走私者常常是当地的渔民,他们通过地下通道或是秘密小道将茶叶运到特别的藏匿地点。最好的藏匿地点之一竟然是教区的教堂!
即使是走私的茶叶也非常昂贵,因而利润也特别高。走私者们便用其他的东西往茶叶里掺假,如柳叶、甘草、黑刺李叶等。喝过的茶叶在晒干之后也掺到新鲜的茶叶之中。解析： 暂无解析 -

An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities?with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world．
The people in the five regions in Europe,Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100?have a lot going for them．Genes probably play a small role,but these folks also have strong social?ties,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise．
As we?were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones,as described in author Dan?Buettner′s latest book,The Blue Zones Solution,we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in?these regions．In fact,Buettner′s Blue Zones Beverage Rule—a kind of guideline summarized from?his 15 or so years of studying these places—is:“Drink coffee for breakfast,tea in the afternoon,wine?at 5 p．m．”

If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria,the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won′t be offered any tea made with tea leaves．Instead,Ikarians typically make their daily cup of?tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day—either rosemary,wild sage,oregano,marjoram,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory(消炎的)properties,which may help lower blood pressure．This could explain Ikaria′s very low dementia(痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease．

B.People who enjoy physical exercise．
C.People who are one hundred years old or older．

They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners-they are all the creators of the first American literature.What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?
A:About the everyday life of the native Americans.
B:About the arrival of Columbus.
C:About the experience of the first European settlers.
D:About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.答案：A解析：由文章第一段第二句话“… a genuine hope of a new life …”可知，that hope指的是人们对在美洲新大陆开始新生活的希望。故选B。
由文章第二段第二句可知，早在大约公元1000年北欧人发现美洲之前，美洲土著居民就居住在这里。第一句说“美国文学来源于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知，美国文学产生于公元1000年前就居住在这里的美洲土著居民的生活经历。故选D。
由文章第二段第三句话“Each tribe ' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of dail life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.”可知，美洲土部落的文学是他们日常生活的真实写照。故选A。
文章最后一段的第一句话“Experience , then , is the key to early American literature."本段的主题句，说的是：美洲的生活经历是美国早期文学产生的关键因素。故选D。
由文章最后一段第四句话“They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd , wh thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”可知，这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -
