题干

阅读材料,完成下列要求。

材料一:从19世纪20年代开始,在印度输往中国的货物中,棉花退居次要位置,鸦片越来越重要甚至成为唯一重要的商品。如果没有鸦片,其他输华商品又不能增加的话,那么从中国运往印度的白银将大大减少。英国人庆幸的是,鸦片每年都有很大的涨幅,而且在中国有很好的销路,这保证了英国有足够的白银购买中国茶叶,而中国由茶叶所得外汇又全部流进了印度以购买鸦片。另外,原来英国利用向中国输入大量印度棉花来弥补购买中国茶叶资金的不足,鸦片产量提高后则不需要了,正好这一时期英国棉纺织业的发展需要大量进口棉花,印度棉花于是大量运至英国。英国——印度——中国之间的三角贸易一直维持到19世纪后期。到了19世纪70年代后,三角贸易的结构开始发生动摇,英国主要从印度进口茶叶,中国自产鸦片也占据国内主要市场。……即使当时中国业茶者意识到危机,甚至采取了某种措施,也不可能阻止茶叶贸易的衰减趋势,因为这根本不是措施是否得力的问题。19世纪茶叶贸易只是中国与欧美国家拉开距离过程中露出的小小冰山一角而已,茶叶出口危机只是19世纪中国社会经济危机的一个侧面。

——摘编自仲伟民《茶叶与鸦片:十九世纪经济全球化中的中国》

材料二:1890年英国驻汉口领事列举了印度和锡兰的种茶人优于中国种茶人的有利条件:可资运用的资本较大;没有厘金、入市税和进口税;有更好和更廉价的劳动力市场……具有化学和农业知识;对购买者的嗜好和要求了解得更彻底;有无数公共工程,旱季便于灌溉,雨季避免淹没;茶园面积庞大;有优良的机器等等。
