【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：300年前欧洲几乎没人知道茶是什么，有一个水手从印度或中国带回了茶叶让妈妈煮。妈妈煮好了之后请客人来开茶派对，但是不知道喝茶，只把茶叶吃了，茶给倒了。客人们都觉得茶叶很难‘吃’。

1.T细节理解题。根据文中第二段第二行One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for her mother，可知这位水手把茶叶作为礼物送给他妈妈。所以选T。

2.F细节理解题。根据文中第三段最后一句...of course, nobody liked the tea-leaves，可知没人喜欢茶叶。所以该选F。

3.

“ I threw it away, of course, ”answered the old woman，可知妈妈把茶叶水倒掉了，而留下了茶叶。所以该选T。

4.
