   When tea and coffee were first introduced to Europe in the 18th century, people had different ideas about their use.Some said that tea and coffee were harmful to humans and they could cause (引起)people to die.

      In Sweden(瑞典), King Gustaf Ⅲ decided to find out whether or not this was true.It happened that there were two brothers in prison at that time.They were twins and were almost alike in every way.They had both been sentenced to death (判处死刑).The King decided to let them live if one of the men agreed to drink several cups of tea each day and the other several cups of coffee.

     Both brothers lived many years without problems of any kind.At last,the brother who had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83,the other died a few years later.

    Because of the experiment(实验), tea and coffee got accepted (接受) and became popular as drink in Sweden, and it is one of the many countries of the world where much tea and coffee is drunk today.

1..A  2.C 3.. B 4..B 【解析】 试题分析: 1.通过in the 18th century“在十八世纪”可知,这里的“十八”是第十八的意思,应该用序数词,另外,十八世纪是一个世纪,所以不能用复数,所以本题应该选择A。 2.通过 they could cause (引起)people to die.可知,前一句的意思应该是“一些人说茶和咖啡对人是有害的。”故harmful应该是“有害的”意思。所以本题选C。 3..通过at last,the brother who had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83可知,喝茶的活到了83岁,A说over 83“超过83”是不对的;B说,在另一个死后多年,喝茶的死,根据the other died a few years later.可知,喝茶的比喝咖啡的先死的,所以B是不对的;D说,喝了几年茶就死了,明显与题意不符。所以本题选B。 4..通过tea and coffee got accepted (接受) and became popular as drink in Sweden,和where much tea and coffee is drunk today.可知,本题的答案应该选B。 考点:本题考查的记叙文体。
