三、阅读理解

A

    Fan Shenghua is one of the inheritors (继承人) of West Lake Longjing tea roasting technique (炒茶技艺). He has been making Longjing tea for more than forty years.

    Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape.

    "You have to touch the leaves with your hands to feel how much water is being removed (去除)," Fan said. "If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed, the tea will taste bitter(苦的)."

    This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes the tea taste good, but has also become an important part of Chinese tea culture.

    These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. "It's easier, but the quality is not just as good," Fan said. "Machine-made tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter."

    In March last year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he roasted leaves. His skill was highly praised. The things made by two palms(手掌) cannot be replaced by modern technology.

    Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a college graduate, is one of them. "It's a tradition. We need to pass it down," he said.

1.According to Paragraph 3, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water?

3.What does Fan think of making lea by machine?

A.It is easier than by hand. B.It has a long history in China.

Chris recently completed a very unusual journey. Our reporter Mary met him at his home in south London and he told her all about the trip.

Reporter: What gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant, Chris?

Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was planning a trip to India. I visited a photographic (摄影的) exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.

Reporter: What did you do next?

Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn't know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.

Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?

Chris: Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about USD 6,000.

Reporter: Can you tell me about the journey?

Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India where there is a big elephant market and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1,200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.

Reporter: Did you have any problems on your journey?

Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!

Reporter: What happened when you reached Sonepur?

Chris:My plan was to sell Tara. But by now I was very fond of her. I couldn't take her back to Britain and I didn't want to sell her at the market. By chance, I met some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye.

四、任务型阅读

I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.

On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine（测定）our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.

I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.

On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style（欧式的）buildings, and learned some stories there.

Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French-speaking environment was valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.

1.When did the writer fly alone for the first time?

____________________________

2.How did the local school determine the students' language level?

____________________________

3.Did the writer enjoy the experience of communicating in French?

____________________________

4.What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City?

____________________________

5.What could be the main reason for the writer's improvement in French?

____________________________

五、根据汉语提示写出单词

1.His uncle is going to _____（参加）a business meeting in Beijing next week.

2.The more careful you are, the fewer ______ (错误) you'll make.

3.Helen is interested in ______ (装饰) things very much.

4.My parents will go to ______ (澳大利亚) next Friday.

5.As long as we pull together, we will build a more beautiful China and our Chinese Dream will come _____（真实的）.

We have very little homework to do every day. Everyone enjoys the school life very much.
