Part IV Translation (10 points)
Reference
Over half of the people in China drink tea, of which the most popular is perhaps green tea. On the other hand, Oolong is a sharp contrast to green tea that is produced in large quantities. Oolong is the most delicate giant among tea varieties but is low-pitched. Like the other kinds of tea, it comes from the leaves of a plant called Camellia Sinensis and is obviously different from Green, Black and White Teas through its own unique processing method. Oolong tea combines the best features of green tea and black tea. Oolong tea’s effects range from fat burning to cell damage prevention and therefore it is indeed an exceptional tea worthy of being well-recognized.

There are three classifications of tea, which are determined by the 44. method of processing the leaves: green, oolong and black tea.

Passage 2
Directions: In this passage, four questions will be asked about what was said. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
With tea drinking getting more popular, certain rules became associated with it. These rules were set up by so-called tea masters. They were masters in performing the tea ceremony, and each one of them had a particular style. The beauty of art and nature is expressed, and it requires a set sequence of serving tea with specific utensils. To become a true master in the tea ceremony, many years of training are necessary.
Today, the tea ceremony is part of Japan’s and China’s rich traditions, but not many people are interested in learning how to conduct those ceremonies anymore. It is mostly women who are engaged in this activity as a pastime, but hardly any young people get involved in it. However, this does not mean that drinking tea is not popular. It is very common to drink tea with your meals or just by itself. Moreover, tea is not only popular in Asian countries. Actually, the country with the most tea drinkers is Britain. The British drink about 2,000 cups per person each year.
Questions 48 to 51 are based on the passage you have just heard.

51. How many cups do per person drink each year in Britain?
Passage 3
Directions: In this passage, four questions will be asked about what was said. After you hear a question, complete the answer with no more than three words.
Hello, everyone, I’m Professor Marksman Ellis from Queen Mary, University of London. Today, I will talk about the Chinese tea plant. Tea is a shrub that grows naturally in mountainous areas of China and several thousand years ago, no one knows how exactly, there…I mean…there are stories…It became clear that if you consumed the leaves of this plant especially the younger leaves, then it had an interesting effect on you. And that effect could be thought of as medicinal or it could be thought of as just kind of sanative – making you feel a bit better than you used to feel. Apparently the Chinese started drinking tea because of its medicinal, or healing. And they’ve been drinking tea for thousands of years. Well, we British may love a good cup of tea, but we haven’t been brewing it for nearly so long as the Chinese. We don’t grow it in Britain. In the 19th century the British started to grow tea in India in order to compete with Chinese tea production. When tea first arrived in Britain in the 17th century it was incredibly expensive and only the elite could afford to drink it. Elite mean a small group of people in society who have money and power. Well, the opposite is true today—everyone drinks tea.
Questions 52 to 55 are based on the passage you have just heard.
52. Where does tea grow in China?
53. Why did the Chinese start drinking tea?
54. Where did the British start to grow tea in order to compete with Chinese tea?
55. What does the word “elite” mean?
