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 (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.

第二节 (共10小题;A部分每小题2分;B部分每小题1分;满分15分)
A)根据短文内容,从短文前的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并将该选项前的番号填在答题卡相应位置。
The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mum makes a wish that
he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a
birthmark around his right eye.
Everything he tri es, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of
qiangbaoshan (抢包山), but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small
mountain doesn’t really exist (存在), of course. He dreams of going to the
Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark
instead.
66 McDull was at first a supporting character in a story about his cousin
McMug, a smart baby pig and “what parents expect of their children.” But
interestingly, the wooden-headed McDull gradually became more attractive when he
told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone
with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence in his speech, “If
you choose me, you will be...painful.” For him, it looks only a little bit
different from an “A” when he gets an “E”. 67
68 In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience (观众), “I suddenly
realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no
golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny---it could mean
failure (失败). Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are
stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the
strict world that isn’t funny, what should I do?” He is still happy, however. He
always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.
69 The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark
confused, who has some simple thoughts, such as God create s humans, because he
loves humans and he wants them to be happy. “Maybe people see themselves a nd
their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as
simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is
about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of
problems. 70 ” says Alice Mark. |
