Question

We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most of the people in Europe (歐洲) did not know anything about tea. Some people heard about it, but very few of them know what to do with it.
　　There is a story about an English sailor (水手) who went to countries in the east，the west and the south. He went to India and China. One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them to a “tea party”. When her friends came to the “tea party”, the old woman offered (給) them brown tea-leaves (茶葉). The old woman’s friends began to eat them. Of course, nobody liked the tea-leaves.
　　At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and said, “Mother, what have you done with the tea?”
　　“I boiled (煮) it，as you said.”
　　“And what did you do with the water?”
　　“I threw it away, of course.” answered the old woman.
　　“Now you may throw away the leaves, too.” said her son.

文章大意：300年前歐洲幾乎沒人知道茶是什么，有一個水手從印度或中國帶回了茶葉讓媽媽煮。媽媽煮好了之后請客人來開茶派對，但是不知道喝茶，只把茶葉吃了，茶給倒了�？腿藗兌加X得茶葉很難‘吃’
1. 細節考查。C 根據文章第一段But more than three hundred years ago most of the people in Europe (歐洲) did not know anything about tea.可知300年前沒人知道茶。
2. 細節考查。C 根據文章第二段He went to India and China. One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother可知茶是從中國或印度帶回來的。
3. 細節考查。D 根據文章第二段the old woman offered (給) them brown tea-leaves (茶葉)可知媽媽請客人來品嘗茶。
4. 細節考查。B 所有人不知道怎么樣吃茶 C 選項說的是媽媽給客人干茶葉，但是在短文里可以看到媽媽 ’boiled the tea with water’，所以茶葉是煮過的，不是干的
5.細節考查。 C 倒數第二段媽媽提到把水倒了 "I threw it away，of course."。
