Tea is tasty and good for you. It is also one of the most popular drinks around the world. But what is tea? And why is it so popular?

All tea comes from tea leaves but tea is not always the same. There are many kinds of tea. You can drink black tea, green tea, white tea or fruit tea. Each type of tea has a different taste and a different colour.

The history of tea begins in Asia. In China, Korea and Japan, tea is still very

important today. In Japan, it can take many hours to prepare and drink tea with your guests. In Malaysia, a popular drink at breakfast is teh tarik (‘pulled tea’). Malaysians say it is good for you and tastes good with canai bread.

Tourists in Kuala Lumpur like watching the tea sellers make ‘pulled tea’. The ten sellers pour hot water on black tea. After five minutes, they add sugar and milk. Then they “pull” the tea—they pour the tea from one cup to another many times.

In many countries, you must have a special kettle to make tea. People in different countries also like to add different things to their tea. For example, Russians use a special kettle called a samovar. They like drinking tea with lemon. Sometimes, they also drink tea with some sugar or jam.

In Turkey, tea comes in a Caydanlik. A Caydanlik has two kettles: one for the water and one for the tea. Drink Turkish tea with some sugar.

Arab tea, called karak, has cardamom, ginger, milk and sugar. In the United Kingdom, they add some milk and sugar.

The British usually eat biscuits with their tea. In Japan, they like ... 29. Tea, a drink with a long history, first appeared in __________.

LIFE is AWKWARD. What should you do when your parents are embarrassing(使尴尬) you in front of your friends? Or what if you see what looks like a classmate stealing someone else’s headphones?

Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms. Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It’s a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol?

Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms.”

Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?

Bertha: It’s not the worst planet I’ve ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens—oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They’re not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.

Me: Oh, um ... wow. That’s just ...

Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets. And they all adored(崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain(款待) me.

Me: Well, what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to pitch in a little, to be a good guest?

Me: You know what. Bertha? I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth, You’re just a boastful(自夸的), spoiled alien.

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-65的相应横线上。

Cars powered by gasoline were sold for many years before hybrid vehicles that use gasoline, electricity, and solar energy. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to(符合标准) traditional gasoline cars?

Electric and gasoline vehicles look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods, though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars literally have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance(保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.

Electric vehicles are energy efficient, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about $ 1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car, which costs about $ 1.25 to go 18 miles. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.

Electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions, making them more friendly to the environment, too. While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favorable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge(充电). Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank.

An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option(选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient(方便的) to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station,

it can take up to six hours to charge.

There are certainly benefits to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is an option. Electric cars vs Gasoline cars Introduction Similarity With the appearance of electric cars, people wonder whether electric cars can achieve the _____56_____ standards as gasoline cars. Electric cars and gasoline cars look similar on the outside. Electric cars  Having fewer parts reduces the _____58_____ of their maintenance and the _____59_____ of having mechanical problems.  _____60_____ with gasoline cars, electric cars are more energy-saving, making them cheaper to operate. _____57_____  Having no tailpipe emissions, they are more environmentally _____61_____.  It _____62_____ more time for electric cars to get charged. Gasoline cars  Gas cars can cover a _____63_____ distance on a full tank than electric cars on a full charge.  Gas cars are more __________ to power up. Conclusion Both electric cars and gasoline cars have their own benefits, which provides people with a _____65_____. B)请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置上。 Do you have difficulty learning English words? Well, k_____66_____ a vocabulary notebook for learning new English words is not difficult. Here are some easy steps. First, buy a notebook w_____67_____ at least 100 lined pages. You should select the color and size notebook that you prefer. S_____68_____, write down any important words that you come across when reading or listening. This step r_____69_____ you to decide whether a word is

important enough for you to learn now. Do not assume(认为) that you will learn the word 1_____70_____. The next step is a bit difficult because you need to decide w_____71_____ information about each word you will write in the notebook. Some learners write only a t_____72_____ of the word.
