　　28．答案：D 细节理解题．由第三段"Hightea，atermoftenmixedwithafternoontea，usuallytakestheplaceofsupper．InthepasttheBritishworkingpopulationdidnothaveafternoontea．"可知hightea是由工人们发起的，所以答案选D．

　　29．答案：B 猜词测义题．由第二段"Duringthelongtimebetweenanearlybreakfastandverylatedinner，sheexperiencedwhatshecalled"asinkingfeeling"atabout4or5intheafternoon．"可知由于早餐吃的很早，晚餐又很晚，所以asinkingfeeling是一种很饥饿的感觉，所以答案选B．

　　30．答案：C 写作意图题．由最后一段"Howmuchdopeopleenjoytheafternoonteamoment？AsafamouswriternamedHenryJamessaid，"Therearefewhoursinlifegreaterthanthehourdedicatedto（献给）theceremonyknownasafternoontea．""可知作者提HenryJames说的话，是为了表达人们对下午茶的喜爱，下午茶很受欢迎，故答案选C．

　　31．答案：A 细节理解题．由第三段"Thetablewouldbesetwithdinnerfoodslikemeat，bread，butter，potatoes，cheeseandofcoursetea．Itwascalled"hightea"becauseitwaseatenatahighdiningtableratherthanalowteatable．"可知hightea的由来是因为人们经常在很高的吃晚餐的桌子上吃，所以叫"hightea"，故答案选A．
