答案與解析

1.D。詞義推測(cè)題。從括號(hào)中“占總?cè)丝?.1%的上流社會(huì)的貴族”可以推測(cè)D正確。

2.B。主旨大意題。第二段開(kāi)頭However之后的內(nèi)容是作者想表達(dá)的重點(diǎn)，所以B正確。

3.C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)上下文可知，“Yes，we do！”表達(dá)的是“我們吃下午茶”。

4。D。推理判斷題。文章4-6段介紹的是不同情境下的下午茶，為了支撐1-2段的主題。

5.D。篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中兩次提到“may not”，另一句中也用到否定，結(jié)合這個(gè)設(shè)問(wèn)的句子可以看出是典型的“欲揚(yáng)先抑”的寫(xiě)作方法。

長(zhǎng)難句分析

1. In my house while l was growing up， we would have a big dinner at lunch time （weekendsmainly） and then tea later.在我家里，從我小時(shí)候開(kāi)始，午餐時(shí)間會(huì)吃一頓很豐盛的正餐（主要在周末），然后喝茶。

這是個(gè)復(fù)合句。連詞while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)表達(dá)“在……期間”，主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞would have意思是“過(guò)去總是有……”。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞would常表示“總會(huì)，總是”之義。例如：

He would read on the bus.他總是在公交車(chē)上看書(shū)。

2. However， if we visit someone in the afternoon （obviously a planned in advance visit），they will make some scones（烤餅），cake，sandwiches and other delicious stuff to be served and lsuppose that is technically“afternoon tea”.然而如果我們下午去拜訪別人（肯定是提前約好的），他們會(huì)準(zhǔn)備一些烤餅、蛋糕、三明治還有其他美味的食物，我覺(jué)得那才是真正意義上的“下午茶”。

這是個(gè)并列復(fù)合句。除了條件狀語(yǔ)從句之外，主句是兩個(gè)并列句，一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句一個(gè)復(fù)合句。復(fù)雜句式也是高考?？嫉目键c(diǎn)。
