British people are very interested in a hot drink, especially if it is served with some cakes or biscuits. Here are some facts about tea drinking habits in Britain. ②There is no real tea time All around the world, everyone thinks that British people drink tea every day at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. In fact, we drink tea at every hour of the day, from the minute we get up to the last minute before going to bed. Of course it’s possible that a British person will drink tea around the middle of the afternoon, but it’s also common to drink it with breakfast. ③The perfect partner Scones (司康饼) are a simple kind of cake, a little sweet and usually served with jam (果酱) and cream. They are excellent with tea. In the daily life, if you order a “cream tea” in Britain, you will get a teapot (茶壶) with a plate of scones. ④Milk in tea British people nearly always put milk in their tea. This seems strange to people from other European countries. They would rather drink their tea without adding anything to it. In Britain, people add some milk depending on taste, so the tea doesn’t look clear enough. ⑤People are always surprised when I say that I prefer coffee to tea as a British person. Tea is really part of our culture, whether we like it or not! 13. ______ really become(s) part of British culture. A. Tea B. Jam C. Cakes D. Biscuits 14.

What can be the best title for this text? A. The perfect partner with tea B. Tea drinking time in Britain C. Something or nothing in tea D. Tea drinking habits in Britain 16. How is the text organized? ① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, …) 第二节 阅读短文，从选项内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Some people are very forgetful, while others can remember everything they have done.

This is true in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. Most young people, especially educated(受过良好教育的) women, have a different idea about children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Linda, a doctor from Russia. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said Sally from England. Her idea is typical(典型的) in Europe. In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of young people are leaving the country to work in foreign countries. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down. Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women can receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child. China on July 28, 2025 introduced a national childcare subsidy program starting from January 1, 2025. The program will offer families 3,600 yuan per year for each under the age of three. 41.
