Monolog 10

Look at this picture. It’s the London Tea Trade centre. As you can see, it is on the North Bank of the River Thames. It is the center of an important industry in the everyday life of the British people. Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman and child over ten years of age, has on average over four cups a day, or some one thousand five hundred cups annually. About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.

Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea. After that, they

21.B

announce“宣布”；allocate“分配，advocate“提【解析】考查动词词义辨析。分派，把……拨给”；

倡，拥护”；accumulate“积累”。句意：为了确保贫困地区的孩子能够受到平等的教育，政府已经计划拨更多的钱来改善当地学校的环境。故选B。 22.D

【解析】考查非谓语动词和宾语从句。根据句意“将有一场弓箭比赛，目的是为了（be designed to do sth目的是......，”被设计做某事）重新讲述过去平原印第安人是如何（how）寻觅食物的。和句子结构可知第一个空及后面的部分是修饰前面的名词competition作定语的，因“be designed to do sth目的是......”是固定搭配，又因此空是作定语，所以得用非谓语动词的形式，即designed to do sth（过去分词短语作定语，表被动。）又因第二个空及后面的句子是动词retell的宾语，所以是宾语从句，再看宾语从句中不少成分，故排除what（在宾从从句中常作主语、宾语、表语和定语）,所以填how。故选D。 23.B

【解析】句意:约翰因对山村比较熟悉而被任命为我们的向导。on account of因为,由于,符合句意。in spite of尽管;regardless of不管,不顾;instead of代替,而不是。 24.C

【解析】考查代词。因“主语+ dislike （或like ,prefer, appreciate, hate. Love…）+ it + when/if从句”是固定句型， it 在句中无实义。本句的意思是“当人们不看名片的时候他们不喜欢，所以记住不要不看就把他们放进你的口袋里。”故选C。
