问题     A cup of tea is almost a symbol of British culture. As a nation, we are well known for our strong liking for this particular hot drink, especially if it is accompanied by some cake or biscuits. Here are some facts about tea drinking habits in the UK:
    1)There is no real tea time
    All around the world, everyone thinks that British people drink tea every day at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. In reality, we drink tea at every hour of the day, from the minute we get up to the last thing before going to bed. Of course it’s quite likely that a British person will drink tea around the middle of the afternoon, but it’s also common to drink it with breakfast.
    2)The perfect partner: scones
    Scones are a simple kind of cake, slightly sweet and usually served with jam and cream. They are excellent with tea. In fact, if you order a "cream tea" in the UK, you’ll get a teapot accompanied by a plateful of these little treats. Delicious!
    3)Milk in tea
    British people nearly always put milk in their tea. This seems strange to people from other European countries, who would rather drink their tea without adding anything to it. In Britain, people add a certain quantity of milk depending on taste and the tea ends up being opaque(不透明)and brown instead of clear.
    People are always shocked when I say that I prefer coffee to tea. Tea really is part of our cultural identity, whether we like it or not!
People tend to believe that British tea time is______.
选项 A、at any time of the day
B、at breakfast time
C、before going to bed
D、late in the afternoon
答案D
解析 细节题。1)后的小标题告知我们后面讲述的是“茶饮”时间。从“everyonethinks that British people drink tea every day at 5 o’clock in the afternoon”可知，很多人通常认为英国人会在下午5点左右才喝茶(但实际不是)。因此本题答案为D。
