He worked there for only a few months and then he set out to tour India. He hoped that the trip would give him more ideas and give him a change in life for the better. After he returned from India, he began to live on a farm in California. And then, in 1975, Steve Jobs set about making a new type of computer. Along with his friend Stephen Wozniak, he designed the Apple Computer in his bedroom and built it in his garage (车库).

Nowadays, tea bag drinking is most Westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about? The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (零散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go. 11. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. Most Westerners like tea bag drinking. B. Tea bag drinking is popular among Chinese. C. How tea bag drinking came about. D. Why tea bag drinking became popular. 12. What did Thomas Sullivan do according to the text? A. He was a tea maker. B. He was a tea trader. C. He was the boss of a teahouse. D. He was the tea inventor. 13. Why did people like the tea bags? A. Because the tea was put in silk bags. B. Because they were much cheaper. C. Because the tea in the tea bags was better. D. Because they made it easier to clean the tea cup. 14. What does the underlined word “hit” mean in Chinese? A. 猛烈的撞击 B. 吵闹的场所 C. 轰动的事物 D. 巨大的新闻 15. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Most tea drinkers like tea bags. B. Few people like loose-leaf tea. C. All the tea in the tea bags is of poor quality. D. The tea in tea bags tastes better than loose-leaf tea. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了茶包的历史。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Tea is popular all over the world and there are many different ways to drink tea. Nowadays, tea bag drinking is most Westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea.”可知，大多数西方人喜欢喝茶包。故选A。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller.”可知，他是卖茶的商人，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup.”可知，人们喜欢茶包，是因为茶味道不错，而且杯子容易清洗，故选D。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.”可知，茶包很快在英国风靡一时，如今英国85%的茶叶都用纸袋包装。所以hit应指轰动的事物。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.”可知，大多数喝茶的人喜欢茶包。故选A。 D Weiqi, as an old board game, was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago.

Things remained the same when he went up to college and he dropped out halfway. Steve Jobs worked first as a video game designer at Atari. He worked there for only a few months and then he set out to tour India. He hoped that the trip would give him more ideas and give him a change in life for the better. After he returned from India, he began to live on a farm in California. And then, in 1975, Steve Jobs set about making a new type of computer. Along with his friend Stephen Wozniak, he designed the Apple Computer in his bedroom and built it in his garage (车库). He chose the name “Apple” because it reminded him of a happy summer he once spent on an orchard (果园) in Oregon. His Apple Computer was so successful that Steve Jobs soon became worldwide famous.

Nowadays, tea bag drinking is most Westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about? The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (零散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go. 11. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. Most Westerners like tea bag drinking. B. Tea bag drinking is popular among Chinese. C. How tea bag drinking came about. D. Why tea bag drinking became popular. 12. What did Thomas Sullivan do according to the text? A. He was a tea maker. B. He was a tea trader. C. He was the boss of a teahouse. D. He was the tea inventor. 13. Why did people like the tea bags? A. Because the tea was put in silk bags. B. Because they were much cheaper. C. Because the tea in the tea bags was better. D. Because they made it easier to clean the tea cup. 14. What does the underlined word “hit” mean in Chinese? A. 猛烈的撞击 B. 吵闹的场所 C. 轰动的事物 D. 巨大的新闻 15. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Most tea drinkers like tea bags. B. Few people like loose-leaf tea. C. All the tea in the tea bags is of poor quality. D. The tea in tea bags tastes better than loose-leaf tea. D Weiqi, as an old board game, was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago. And ____16____ The playing pieces are called stones.
