Ⅳ.[文章大意] 本文是一篇说明文。在英国,酒吧是体验当地文化的最佳去处,文章介绍了在酒吧里你需要遵守的一些规则。
1.B 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub.”可知,到英国的游客也许会发现,传统酒吧是体验当地文化的最佳场所。据此可知,画线部分含义是“感受,体验”之意,故选B。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段“Pub culture is designed to promote sociability in a society known for its reserve.”可知,在一个以保守著称的社会里,酒吧文化旨在促进社交。故选A。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Most pubs have no waiters—you have to go to the bar to buy drinks.”以及下文“This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.”可知,作者举一群意大利年轻人的例子是为了说明不知道英国酒吧的习俗会造成不便,故选D。
Ⅴ.[文章大意] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了英国靠左行驶、水槽边有冷热两个水龙头以及喝茶加牛奶的习俗及其来源。
1.G 分析文章可知,第二段至第四段分别介绍英国靠左行驶、水槽边有冷热两个水龙头以及喝茶加牛奶的习俗及其来源。G项“以下就是三个比较令人费解的英国习俗的来源”可以引出下面三段,故选G。
2.C 根据本空后“…when you remember that right-handed people wear a sword on their left hip.”可知,如果你还记得在中世纪或者罗马时代,习惯用右手的人会把剑佩戴在臀部左侧,故C项“这个不寻常的行为就讲得通了”切题。后一句讲原因,前一句讲结果。
3.E 根据前一句“Visitors to the UK that have just washed their hands in an old-fashioned sink might be wondering why one tap is only for hot water,the other cold.”可知,去英国的游客会注意到传统的水槽边,有两个水龙头,一个出冷水,一个出热水,这很奇怪。E项“用任何一个水龙头都会让洗手变得很不舒服”讲述上一句现象的影响,故选E。
4.F 根据前一句“For the majority of Brits,the cups available couldn’t stand the heat of the boiling water and would break,so milk was added first.”可知,当时,大多数英国人能够使用的杯子无法承受开水的热量,会破裂,因此他们就先把牛奶加进去。F项“这样就会使杯子冷却,使之能够抵挡滚烫的水”讲述前一情况的原理,故选F。
5.B 根据文章可知,本处是对上文的总结,B项“看似疯狂,实则有理”(来自莎士比亚戏剧)很好地对上文进行了总结,故选B。Unit 4 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS Period Four 限时25分钟

Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub. But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes(失礼)for the newcomers.
A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs—starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have no waiters—you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths waited 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.
Pub culture is designed to promote sociability in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behaviour. “If you haven’t been to a pub, you haven’t been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers’ rule of conduct for those wanting to sample a central part of British life and culture.
The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.

A.encourage people to communicate with each other
B.encourage more people to consume drinks

A.British pubs don’t always have waiters or waitresses.
B.There is always a hidden purpose in most British pubs.
C.It is quite convenient for people to get a drink in British pubs.
