DCoffee is a refreshing drink.
正确答案： C解析：
细节判断题。根据文中第四段第一行提到“It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of l773”可知，“波士顿倾茶事件”在1773年发生，A选项正确。接着文章又说道“Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee.”即，1773年“波士顿倾茶事件”之后，人们开始从喝茶转向喝咖啡，也就是越来越多的人选择喝咖啡，C选项正确。由文章第一行“Coffee is a powerful drink.… it helps keep US awake and active”可知，咖啡能使人保持清醒和活跃，即咖啡是“提神（refreshing）的饮料”，D选项正确。根据文章中第二段内容可得：14世纪时，有人发现了咖啡使用方法，15世纪传遍阿拉伯世界，之后又过了150年，即17世纪60年代，它才席卷了欧洲，其中并没有直接提到是欧洲人发明出了使用咖啡的方法，而且时间也不是在17世纪80年代，因此B项描述不符，故答案选B。 -

CThe host offers the visitor a seat only
DThe visitor takes some food with him when he leaves.
正确答案： C解析：
原文第四段指出“When the visitor is leaving，he is often given some food”，故D项表述正确。原文中说来访者会被问道他们的旅途如何，为什么来到此地等，他们的谈话在饭后仍会继续，故A项“talks little”错误。原文中说的是孩子把来访者送到“to the nearest station”，故B项“to the gate of the house”错误。C项“offers the visitor a seat only”也错误，文中提到主人们会给来访者提供座位、茶水和食物，并且会打包点食物让他们带走，而不仅仅是提供一个座位。故正确选项为D。 -
