【解析】

試題分析：本文講述的是英國人的一個傳統(tǒng)——喝下午茶。

【1】 with 句意：每天用160 million杯子喝茶。with和---一起，用---。故填with。

【2】a 句意：下午茶的發(fā)明把喝茶變成了一種受歡迎的娛樂。故填a。

【3】comfortably 副詞修飾動詞，故填comfortably。

【4】was designed 根據(jù)后面的dates back to the 1840s.可知which 64 (design)中用一般過去時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)，Afternoon tea是定語從句的先行詞，故填was designed。

【5】fashionable 形容詞修飾名詞，故填fashionable。

【6】popularity 句意：它在英國的受歡迎。its是形容詞性物主代詞，后面用名詞，故填popularity。

【7】Although /Though/ While 句意：盡管它能在家里享受，但最好的方式來體驗它是在飯店或咖啡廳。故填Although /Though/ While。

【8】to enjoy 句意：享受一盤甜食的地方。動詞不定式作后置定語，故填to enjoy。

【9】being asked 固定用法：avoid doing sth.避免做某事；因為you和ask之間是被動關系，故用動名詞的一般式的被動語態(tài)，此處填being asked。

【10】known 固定搭配：be known as作為---而著名；此處是過去分詞作后置定語，故填known。
