[解析]
The book I'm reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain.It is said to have started in the early 1800's.Have tea in the late afternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner,that might not be served until 8 o'clock at night.This custom soon becomes another meal of ∧ day.Interesting,it had a connection by the Britain porcelain(瓷器)industry.Tea in China was traditionally drank from cups without handles.When tea got popular in Britain,there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit British habits.This resulted in the grow in the porcelain industry.
详解:
(1)考查动词。句意:我正在读的这本书讲的是英国的下午茶。read是及物动词,后面直接接宾语,不需要of。故删除of。
(2)考查动名词。句意:在傍晚喝茶为午餐和晚餐提供了一个桥梁,可能要到晚上8点才能上桌。句中have tea in the afternoon充当provides的主语,要用动名词。故Have改为Having。
(3)考查定语从句的关系词。句意:在傍晚喝茶为午餐和晚餐提供了一个桥梁,可能要到晚上8点才能上桌。句子之间有逗号分隔,此处是一个非限制性定语从句,不能用that引导,应用which。故that改为which。
(4)考查动词时态。句意:这一习俗很快就成为了一天中的另一顿饭。文章讲述的是过去的事情,要用一般过去时态。故becomes改为became。
(5)考查冠词。句意:这一习俗很快就成为了一天中的另一顿饭。day可数名词,要用限定词,表达抽象的时间。故day前加the。
(6)考查副词。句意:有趣的是,它与英国的瓷器业有联系。修饰整个句子要用副词。故Interesting改为Interestingly。
(7)考查介词。句意:有趣的是,它与英国的瓷器业有联系。have a connection with/to sth."与某物有联系"。故by改为with或to。
(8)考查过去分词。句意:中国的茶传统上是用杯子喝的没有把手。主语Tea与drink之间是被动关系,结合前面的was可知,此处要用过去分词。故drank改为drunk。
(9)考查可数名词的复数。句意:当茶在英国流行时,人们迫切需要有把手的好杯子来适应英国人的习惯。cup"杯子",可数名词,此处表示泛指需要很多茶杯,要用复数形式。故cup改为cups。
(10)考查不可数名词。句意:这导致了瓷器行业的发展。根据前面的the可知,此处应填名词作介词for的宾语。grow的名词是growth"增长,成长"不可数名词。故grow改为growth。
