21、   British people are well known for the amount（量）of tea that they drink. Each person in the UK drinks about 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections（阶层）of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?

Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time British ships were exploring（探索）the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available（可购得的）to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon found that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving it a special taste.

In the 1800s, tea was still a thing enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. People drink tea with a snack around 4 p.m. so that they don’t feel hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

In the late 1800s, the price of tea went down as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms-shops where you could buy and drink tea, started to appear（出现）across the country. At the start of the 20th century, people of all sections began to drink tea.

【1】When did black tea arrive in Britain?

A．In the 1600s.

B．In the early 1700s.

C．In the late 1800s.

D．At the start of the 20th century.

【2】Why did tea become cheaper later?

A．Because fewer people drank it.

B．Because more tea arrived in Britain.

C．Because it was no longer a drink just for rich people.
