Ⅱ.[2018·江西]完形填空

There are purple clothes, purple handbags, purple bicycles, purple furniture, even purple computers! So purple is one of the most　11　 colors today. But in the past, purple was a very expensive and unusual color. Let’s take a look at the rich　12　 of the color purple. 

Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago　13　 looked purple, not green. Plants today are green because　14　 use green chlorophyll（叶绿素） to produce energy.　15　 these early plants probably used something called retinal, which is a dark purple color. 

During the time of the Roman Empire （37BC—476 AD）, it was very　16　 to make purple dye（染料）. The dye came from sea snails（海螺）. But 10,000 dead sea snails　17　 you just one gram（克） of purple dye…as well as a very bad smell! This　18　 purple dye was called Tyrian purple, and it was the preferred　19　 of emperors. 

In 16th-century England, purple was　20　 for the king’s family members. Queen Elizabeth I’s clothes were purple, but ordinary people were not allowed to　21　 the color. 

In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old　22　 student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment（实验）. The chemicals（化学药品） he used to clean his instruments　23　 with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This　24　 led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much　25　 than sea snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes.

Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4 to sit and drink several cups of tea? Ask any of my German students and they will tell you “YES!”But it’s simply not true.

We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for it. “Tea” is widely used as a name for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Usually it is the main meal of the day, eaten between 5 and 7. So, “teatime” refers to（指的是）the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening meal is often called dinner, however, dinner in the north is the midday meal. In general:

North: Breakfast—Dinner—Teatime

South: Breakfast—Lunch—Dinner

What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I’m afraid. Tea breaks are just an opportunity（机会） to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes. In this time you can drink whatever you like （which of course includes tea）. This is usually with a small snack, like biscuits. The best time for a tea break is around 11 a.m. or around 3 p.m.

But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea, cakes and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually saved for special occasions（场合） such as a birthday party.
