21、Judy Wright and her husband decided to move closer to their son, Chris, who lived in Georgia. About a month after the move, Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing battle against Parkinson’s disease.

23、Tea, the most typical of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium (一千年) BC in China, it was not until the mid-17th century that the drink first appeared in England. It was the Portuguese and Dutch traders who first imported tea to Europe, reaching the Continent by the way of Venice around 1560, with regular shipments by 1610.

Curiously, it was the London coffee houses that were responsible for introducing tea to England. One of the first coffee house merchants to offer tea was Thomas Garway. He sold both liquid and dry tea to the public as early as 1657. Three years later he issued a broadsheet advertising tea at £6 to £10 per pound, touting ( 兜 售 ) its virtues at “making the body active and lusty (健壮的)”, and “preserving perfect health until extreme old age”.

Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and by 1700 over 500 coffee houses sold it. This distressed the pub owners, as tea cut their sales of beer, and it was bad news for the government, who depended upon a steady stream of revenue (税收) from taxes on liquor sales. By 1750 tea had become the favoured drink of Britain’s lower classes.

A 1676 act taxed tea and required coffee house operators to apply for a license. This was just the start of government attempts to control, or at least, to profit from the popularity of tea in Britain. By the mid-18th century the duty on tea had reached a ridiculous 119 percent. This heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry — tea smuggling ( 走 私 ). Ships from Holland and Scandinavia brought tea to the British coast, then stood offshore while smugglers met them and unloaded the precious cargo in small vessels. The smugglers, often local fishermen, secretly moved the tea inland through underground passages and hidden paths to special hiding places. One of the best hiding places was in the local church!

Even smuggled tea was expensive, however, and therefore extremely profitable, so many smugglers began to adulterate (掺假) the tea with other substances, such as willow and sloe leaves. Used tea leaves were also redried and added to fresh leaves.

Finally, in 1784 William Pitt the Younger introduced the Commutation Act, which dropped the tax on tea from 119% to 12.5%, effectively ending smuggling. Adulteration remained a problem, though, until the Food and Drug Act of 1875 brought in severe punishment for the practice.

【1】According to the passage, tea drinking _______.

A．is the favorite pastime of the Dutch

B．is an important British tradition

C．was well-received by the Portuguese centuries ago

D．could be found everywhere in the world in 1560

【2】Who might be annoyed by the popularity of the tea?

A．Coffee house owners.

B．Wine sellers.

C．Britain’s lower classes.

D．Smugglers.

【3】Which of the following statements about tea smuggling is TRUE?

A．Churches provided convenience for smuggling.

B．Fishermen and farmers contributed a lot to tea industry.

C．Underground passages and boats were ideal hiding places for tea.

D．The government encouraged tea smuggling for taxes on tea.

【4】How was the order of the tea market finally restored in Britain?

A．By passing an act related to a tax rise.

B．By imposing mild punishment.

C．By punishing those who sold fake tea.

D．By mixing redried used leaves with fresh tea leaves.

24、The term mark twain is a navigational description of two fathoms, meaning a depth of twelve feet of water, derived from the measurement of a mark combined with “twain”, meaning “two.” Mark twain is considered the lowest depth for safe water travel. 【1】 The rope is usually twenty-five fathoms long and is marked in increments of two, three, five, seven, ten, fifteen, seventeen and twenty fathoms.

The process of measuring the water is called “sounding,” which was overseen by a leadsman who measures and “sounds out” the depth to the other crew members responsible for sailing or operating the boat in open water. The leadsman would usually stand on a platform, called “the chains” which projected from the ship over the water and “sound” from there. A typical sound would be expressed as “By the mark 7,” or whatever the depth was. In modern English language, it is interesting to note that the expression “deep six” refers to this old method of measuring water. In Life on the Mississippi, Twain describes sounding: “【2】 But in winter the cold and the peril take most of the fun out of it.”

Today, the mark is measured by sonar equipment, but in Mark Twain’s day, it was the common method of ensuring that a boat could safely navigate a body of water without becoming stranded on a sandbar, which were plentiful in the Mississippi River. 【3】

Mark Twain is also significant in the literary world as it is the pen name of Samuel Clemens, the author. Legend has it that Twain actually “lifted” the pseudonym from his supervising captain, who often contributed articles to local papers. Regardless of how Mark Twain, the writer, devised the name, it has become synonymous with tales of adventure, mischief, mishap and life along the Mississippi River, namely in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, known as Hannibal, Missouri in real life. 【4】

A．Often there is a deal of fun and excitement about sounding, especially if it is a glorious summer day, or a blustering night.

B．Books by Mark Twain have proven to be what he wanted them to be: entertainment, food for thought, a landscape about life, a look into what makes people tick, and many more things.

C．Through many characters, Mark Twain’s mark never halted at the twain, it would always be bottomless.

D．In 1857 Twain becomes an apprentice in order to work as a river pilot.

E．The measurement of a mark is taken with a “hand lead” that consists of a rope with a heavy weight fastened to its end.

F．As a steamboat pilot, Twain would be especially subjected to these marks as he moved his boats up and down that river.
