本文介紹了茶是如何成為英國(guó)文化的重要組成部分的？英國(guó)人以喝茶而聞名。但是茶在英國(guó)不生長(zhǎng)。大多數(shù)茶葉生長(zhǎng)在印度和中國(guó)。茶在16世紀(jì)到達(dá)倫敦，在17世紀(jì)初，到達(dá)英國(guó)的茶葉數(shù)量迅速增加。在19世紀(jì)，英國(guó)人開始喝“下午茶”。從那時(shí)起，它就成了一種傳統(tǒng)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)So, how did it become an important part of British culture? 那么，它是如何成為英國(guó)文化的重要組成部分的呢？可以推知本文解釋了茶是如何成為英國(guó)文化的重要組成部分的。因此題目應(yīng)該是茶與英國(guó)——一段短暫的歷史。故答案為：tea。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But tea does not grow in Britain. 但是茶在英國(guó)不生長(zhǎng)。所給的句子Tea is not _____2_____ in the UK, but mostly in India and China.是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)句，故應(yīng)該填grow的過去分詞grown。所以答案為：grown。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)At first this tea served exactly as it was in China. 起初，這種茶和中國(guó)的茶一模一樣。句子Black tea arrived at the beginning of the 1970s and Britons first drank it exactly the same way as the ___3___ did.的意思是：紅茶在20世紀(jì)70年代初問世，英國(guó)人第一次喝紅茶的方式和中國(guó)人完全一樣。所以答案為：Chinese。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British colour. 他們很快發(fā)現(xiàn)，它與少量的牛奶和糖很好地混合，使這種飲料具有英國(guó)特有的顏色�？芍�，本題應(yīng)該填：colour；句子A little milk and sugar were found to be a perfect ___4___ for black tea and a special British drink was born.的意思是：少量的牛奶和糖被發(fā)現(xiàn)是紅茶的完美顏色，一種特殊的英國(guó)飲料誕生了。所以答案為：colour。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)It is a still going today but has become less popular in recent times. 它在今天仍在進(jìn)行，但近來已不那么流行了。也就是說：從那時(shí)起，就成了一種傳統(tǒng)。句子Britons began to have ‘a(chǎn)fternoon tea’ in the 1800s and it has ___5___ a tradition since then. 的意思是：19世紀(jì)，英國(guó)人開始喝下午茶，從那時(shí)起，它就成了一種傳統(tǒng)。本句話是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。其結(jié)構(gòu)是：助動(dòng)詞 has/have+動(dòng)詞的過去分詞。所以答案為：became。
