第1题：
Is it the different types of tea plants that determine the colour and aroma of tea? The answer is no.Actually, it is the processing of tea that finally decides the tea types.For example, black tea requires 100% oxidation and green tea requires almost no oxidation.So tea processing is quite an important factor in the production of tea.Anyway, the normal processing of tea includes the following four basic steps:
1.New leaves are spread in order to reduce water content until they are pliable enough to be rolled.This process is called withering.
2.The second step is rolling the withered leaves.Oils and extra moisture are released.This process can be done with machinery or by hand.
3.The third step is called oxidation or fermentation.In this process the leaves turn from green to bright copper in colour.This step decides what type of tea we want.
4.The last step is drying the leaves to stop the oxidation process.The leaves should be dried thoroughly without burning.
Decide each statement is T (true) or F (false) based on Passage B.
6.The processing of tea decides the tea types.
7.Green tea requires a little oxidation.
8.Withering makes the tea leaves release oils and water.
9.Rolling the withered leaves can be done only with machinery.
10.Burning the leaves is the last step of tea processing.
答案：TFFFF

第23题：
问答题Practice 3 Tea, that most quintessential of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid-17th century that the beverage first appeared in England. The use of tea spread slowly from its Asian homeland, reaching Europe by way of Venice around 1560, although Portuguese trading ships may have made contact with the Chinese as early as 1515. It was the Portuguese and Dutch traders who first imported tea to Europe, with regular shipments by 1610. England was a latecomer to the tea trade, as the East India Company did not capitalize on tea’s popularity until the mid-18th century. Coffee Houses Curiously, it was the London coffee houses that were responsible for introducing tea to England. One of the first coffee house merchants to offer tea was Thomas Garway, who owned an establishment in Exchange Alley. He sold both liquid and dry tea to the public as early as 1657. Three years later he issued a broadsheet advertising tea at ￡6 and ￡10 per pound (ouch!), touting its virtues at “making the body active and lusty”, and “preserving perfect health until extreme old age”. Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and by 1700 over 500 coffee houses sold it. This distressed the tavern owners, as tea cut their sales of ale and gin, and it was bad news for the government, who depended upon a steady stream of revenue from taxes on liquor sales. By1750 tea had become the favored drink of Britain’s lower classes. Taxation on Tea Charles II did his bit to counter the growth of tea, with several acts forbidding its sale in private houses. This measure was designed to counter sedition, but it was so unpopular that it was impossible to enforce it. A 1676 act taxed tea and required coffee house operators to apply for a license. This was just the start of government attempts to control, or at least, to profit from the popularity of tea in Britain. By the mJd-18th century the duty on tea had reached an absurd119%. This heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry-tea smuggling. Smuggling Tea Ships from Holland and Scandinavia brought tea to the British coast, then stood offshore while smugglers met them and unloaded the precious cargo in small vessels. The smugglers, often local fishermen, snuck the tea inland through underground passages and hidden paths to special hiding places. One of the best hiding places was in the local parish church! Even smuggled tea was expensive, however, and therefore extremely profitable, so many smugglers began to adulterate the tea with other substances, such as willow, licorice, and sloe leaves. Used tea leaves were also retried and added to fresh leaves.正确答案： 参考译文
茶是英国最具代表性的饮品,然而,茶来到英国是比较晚的。虽然饮茶的习俗可以追溯到公元前2000多年前的中国,但直到17世纪中叶茶才第一次出现在英国。
饮茶的习惯从亚洲逐渐传开,到1560年前后才从威尼斯进入欧洲——尽管葡萄牙商船可能早在1515年就与中国有了贸易往来。
最先把茶运进欧洲的是葡萄牙和荷兰的商人,到1610年已经有船定期运茶了。在茶叶贸易方面,英国是后来者,因为直到18世纪中叶,东印度公司才开始抓住茶叶受欢迎的商机。
咖啡馆令人不可思议的是,将茶推介给英国人的是伦敦的咖啡馆。托马斯·加威是第一批在咖啡馆里供应茶的商人之一。他在伦敦交易街开了一家咖啡馆,早在1657年就向人们出售茶水和茶叶。三年后他印制了大幅的茶广告,将茶的售价定为每磅6英镑到10英镑(哇!),并宣扬饮茶的好处在于“强身健体,滋阴壮阳”,而且“耄耋之年,旺壮矍铄”。
茶在咖啡馆里很快风行起来。到1700年已经有500多家咖啡馆卖茶。这使餐馆老板们感到苦恼:茶减少了他们啤酒和杜松子酒的销售。对政府也不是好消息,征收酒税是政府税收的一个稳定来源。到1750年时,茶在英国的下层民众中已经是很受欢迎的饮料了。
查尔斯二世时期颁布茶税是因为他极力想遏制茶的发展,他颁布了几道法令禁止私家咖啡馆售茶。这项措施意在打击反政府的离叛行为,但是它太不得人心,无法执行。1676年颁布的一条法案开始征收茶税,并要求咖啡馆老板申请售茶许可证。
这只是英国政府企图对茶叶加以控制的开端,至少,也是想从风靡英国的茶中获利。到18世纪中叶,茶税已经抽到119%,真是荒谬之至。这一重税致使一个新的行业出现—茶叶走私。
茶叶走私从荷兰和斯堪的纳维亚来的船只将茶运到英国海岸,把船停在离岸不远的地方,然后,走私者登上船只,将贵重的茶叶转卸到小船上。这些走私者常常是当地的渔民,他们通过地下通道或是秘密小道将茶叶运到特别的藏匿地点。最好的藏匿地点之一竟然是教区的教堂!
即使是走私的茶叶也非常昂贵,因而利润也特别高。走私者们便用其他的东西往茶叶里掺假,如柳叶、甘草、黑刺李叶等。喝过的茶叶在晒干之后也掺到新鲜的茶叶之中。解析： 暂无解析 -
