Afternoon Tea
When related to afternoon tea, what would you think of? A cup of tea, a piece of cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?
We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o’ in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4 hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of tea, bread, butter and cake to her room ring the late afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.
Afternoon tea was liked by most women, because they then had reason to get together and kill the leisure time more meaningfully. After Anna’s launch of the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes and it later became a fashionable social event, providing a place for people to meet new friends and get new information.
The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes. English tea is mainly from India or Ceylon, which was originally transported by the East India Company.
Today, afternoon tea has been simplified because of the change of lifestyle. People use tea bags instead of tea leaves. Cakes are no longer as various and difficult as that of long time ago. They usually are some pieces of biscuits or cakes.
But if you want to experience a real English afternoon tea, I would advise you to go to Devonshire, where proces good cream and famous cream tea. The tea consists of hot and sweet tea served in china teacups and scones, strawberry jam as well as the fine clotted cream- the vital ingredient of cream tea. You may enjoy yourself for a whole afternoon.

1. When was the custom of afternoon tea created?
2. Why did Anna create the custom of afternoon tea?
Because she _______________ before having supper.
3. Why did most women like afternoon tea?
4. What does the traditional afternoon tea usually contain?
5. Does afternoon tea stay the same as before?
6. Where would the writer suggest he go if one wants to have a real English afternoon tea?

㈤ 适合五年级的,带有练习题英语阅读理解小短文(15篇)

雅思小作文是写作中的部分，对于烤鸭来说也有着举足轻重的作用，在考前，小编给大家深度解析在小作文的各类题目，以便大家对此更加了解。
在雅思写作考中，部分小作文，虽然小作文的分值不高，但是烤鸭也应该要先去尽量完全它，为帮大了解它，小编深度解析小作文中的各种题目。
图表类题目
想要解这种题我们要先来了解下西方人的思维模式：西方人做事情往往是跟我们东方人不样，西方人往往是讲究数字的，即他们都会使用种统计数据，资料来源，实验，以及还有报告来突出实事求是的学术精神;他们会用客观的数据事实来支持你的个人观点。
所以上海环球雅思培训老师认为如果你要到西方去留学，那么用数据描述统计图表的能力几乎都是每门课的教授所要求学生掌握的，同时也是学生写论文时常常要掌握的能力之。所以，图表类的小作文已经占据到了小作文出题次数80%以上的比例。
流程图和地图题题目
流程图的原理是：描述事物工作原理以及具体的流程。主要的目的是针对理工科学生在论文中需要描述机械原理，工艺流程。但是由于目前到海外去读工科的学生并不多，所以流程图出题的概率相对来说并不高，年大概也就3-5次左右。
地图题的原理是：需要去描述某个地区或者图纸布局的变化。主要的目的是让学生学会方位的表达，尤其是针对那些将来要到海外去学城市规划，地产开发，以及还有园林布局等专业的学生。但是因为这些学生的数量相对来说也不多，所以地图题年的出题概率可能也不高，年大概也就那么3-4次左右。

1,The Earth——Our Mother
Pcople often say that the earth is like our mother. She gives life to all the living things on the earth and provides us with air, food, water and other essential things we need for living.
Once she was beautifhl and rich, but now she becomes dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer. It is e to what we have done to her. Please have a good look at her: polluted rivers and lakes, growing deserts, the destruction of the forests and wild life, and the depletion of the ozone layer…
Can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? Can she bear too see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? Can we bear to see our mother suffering so much? Isn' it time for us to ask ourselves whether this is the way to treat our mother?
Floods, draughts, acid rain…,these are the punishments from nature. Everyone should know that there is only one earth, lfwe go on treating her like this, it won' t be fit for us to live in any longer. It' s time for us to love her, take good care of her and cure her. We should save the earth so as to save ourselves.

人们经常说地球就像我们的母亲.她给了地球上所有生物生命,给我们提供生活所必需的空气、食物、水和一切基本的需要.
曾经她美丽富饶,而现在她变得越来越脏,越来越贫脊,那都是我们造成的.请好好看一看她：受污染的江河湖海、扩张的沙漠、森林和野生生物的毁灭、臭氧层的耗尽……
她能忍受她的孩子到处乱扔废弃物吗?她能忍受她的孩子砍伐树木、毁坏草原,让酸雨毁灭一切吗?我们能忍受她遭受这样的痛苦吗?我们该问问我们自己,这就是我们对待母亲的方式吗?
洪水、干旱、酸雨……这些都是自然对我们的惩罚.每个人都应该清楚人类只有一个地球.如果我们继续这样对待她,她将不再适合我们居住了.是该我们好好爱她、照顾她、治疗她的时候了.我们应该拯救地球,以便拯救我们自己.

4Pollution: a Social Problem
When we read newspapers, we often come across the word pollution. This word was not familiar to the people some decades ago. But now, it is a serious threat to us because.it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.
There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the poisonous smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. In rivers, seas and oceans, there are instrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and when sometimes an accident occurs in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.
On land, the accumulation of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and ruin our health. This is mainly e to the improper disposal of rubbish by people.
If we do mot fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the instrial revolutions. On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modem science and technology.
污染——一个社会问题
我们看报的时候,经常会看到“污染”这个词.这个词对于几十年前的人来说并不熟悉.然而对于我们来说,它是一个严重的威胁,因为它意味着危害空气、海洋、河流和土地,进而对我们造成伤害.
有很多工厂给我们带来了污染.早上我们呼吸不到新鲜的空气.这主要是因为这些工厂里排放出有毒的气体,尤其是化工厂.在江河湖海里到处都有工业垃圾.一些工厂把废弃物排放到江河和海洋里.人们喝了这里面的水就会中毒.除此之外,还有从船上扔下来的垃圾和海洋里发生事故的船只流出来的油.
在陆地上,街道上乱扔的垃圾不仅影响市容,还危害我们的健康.这主要是因为人们对垃圾的不正确的处理.
我们如果不对污染采取措施,总有一天我们会被杀死的.有些人总爱把这归咎于工业革命.相反,污染问题还必须靠现代科学和技术来解决.
5Traditional Teaching Method
Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took it for granted that a teacher' s aim was to teach the students all that he knew and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things on their own under this circumstance. Thus students graally lost the ability to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve practical problems.
So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher' s goal is to help the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It' s not necessary for the students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first thing is to develop the students' abilities to make sound judgements upon any problem and overcome difficulties.
All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the students' innate powers of making sound judgements.
传统教育方式
你的老师还在用传统方法授课吗?现在教育方式的改革需要进行.过去,老师把他所有的知识教给学生,并帮学生解决他们所有的难题,这似乎是理所当然的.因此,在这种情况下,学生不能自我判断,也慢慢失去自学能力.另外,他们只能学到课堂上的东西,面对任一突发事件都会作出同样的判断.当然,他 们业余感到所学知识不足以解决实际问题.
因此,是到了改变教育目标的时候了.老师的目的不光是帮助学生培养自学能力,还应教给他们独立判断的方法.学生一旦面临难题就请教老师是不必要的.重要的是让学生具有独立判断并能克服困难的能力.
总而言之,教育目标是解放而不是限制学生判断事物的内在能力.
6,How to study English?
Study English,You do need to use English with speakers who are not teachers of English. This isn’t easy, since everyone feels constrained speaking English with friends with whom it would be natural to use a shared mother tongue. Joining an English Club is a good idea and joining a club with an international membership (where English is in use at least some of the time) is, for many people, even better. If nothing like this is accessible, you might consider what would be involved in getting something going.
活用英文乐趣多 活用英文乐趣多
你需要常常和英语教师以外的人士用英语交谈.这当然很不容易,因为与母语相同的人自由交谈时,彼此若用英语交谈总会觉得很不自在.亦可参加英语俱乐部或国际会员的俱乐部（至少有时使用英语沟通）,这样对很多人而言更有益.如果没有合适的社团可加入,也不妨考虑任何足以提高英语能力的机会.第一篇：THE NEWSPAPER 报 纸
Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances.
现今报纸拥有极大的价值,人人都应该看它.它每天提供我们各种类类的消息.它告诉我们世界政治局势.如果我们养成看报的习惯,我们就能得到足够的知识来因应我们的环境.学生虽然每天须做功课,但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报.哪些,他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代.总而言之,看报对学生很有益处.

7：MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活
Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.
I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock.
Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.
虽然我的日常生活十分单调,但我却竭力设法去适应它.为什么?因为我打算做一个好学生,希望将来为国家服务.
我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后,就开始复习功课,七点钟我就去上学.
放学后,我就回家了.我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐,之后我就开始做家庭作业,希望在睡觉前把它做完.
8A MODEL STUDENT 模范学生
Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.
However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral ecation. If his conct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.
你价意被称为坏学生吗?当然不.就我所知,每个人都打算做模范学生.
然而,做模范学生却不容易.第一,他必须尽力获得知识（求知）.一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的.第二,他必须记住促进健康.只有强壮的人才能做大事.第三,他应该接受道德教育.如果他品行不好,没有人会考虑和他交朋友的.

读书是一好事,但我们必须多加注意书的选择.不错,我们能从好书中获得益处.然而,坏书却对我们有害无益.
