However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or lose weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers(同事). Coffee came much later than tea. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to refresh themselves. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help themselves wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers. Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which one do you prefer to drink? (　B　)1. Where did tea drinking start? A. In Japan. B. In China. C. In Turkey. D. In the UK. (　D　)2.

Many people drink coffee to wake up in the morning. C. Many people work on their computers in coffee shops. D. Some people may meet and talk with friends in coffee shops. (　C　)5. What is the best title for the passage? A. The smells of tea and coffee B. The prices of tea and coffee C. The different cultures of tea and coffee D. The different ways of making tea and coffee A C B(2022·吉林改编) There is a traditional toy called taiping nijiaojiao. It is a clay toy and also a whistle(哨子) in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. It has a history of over 1,000 years. Taiping nijiaojiao is made of the mud from the local mountain. It takes more than ten steps to make the clay toy, and the key step is to knead(捏) it with your hands. You can knead the clay toy into anything, like animals and plants. The hole to blow is the most difficult part to make, for the size of the hole makes a difference to the sound. While colouring, you can use traditional cultural elements(元素) that carry good meanings. It’s hard to make taiping nijiaojiao. But when you finally make it, you will feel proud of yourself. Zhou Baokang, a lover of folk art, learned how to make the clay toy from local artists about 20 years ago. He wants more people to know about it, so he has opened a museum to introduce the clay toy. He teaches kids how to make the clay toy too. There are many traditional art forms in China, but some of them have been lost. Luckily, the traditional clay toy taiping nijiaojiao is kept to this day.

The first time I took a class in the chemistry lab, I was surprised to find that students were fully “armed”. Everyone was wearing goggles(护目镜) and gloves. Safety comes first for the science lab class. My chemistry teacher Mrs Louise usually gave us the instruction paper the night before the lab class and let us read it. During the class, she first went over the steps and then put us into groups of two to do the experiments(实验). What was special was that for every lab class, Mrs Louise changed everyone’s lab partner to make us work with different classmates. The class was often filled with laughter and screams(尖叫). We once tried to burn the chemicals and watch the colours of the flames(火焰). Different chemicals produced different colours of flames, including bright orange and dark green. We were very surprised. “Wow! That’s so beautiful!” we screamed. Then we excitedly took pictures, posted them online and sent them to our friends. Mrs Louise didn’t get angry with us at all for our “noises”. She herself even took photos with us! After finishing an experiment, we had to write a lab report. If we had a big mistake in the experiment, we would need to analyze(分析) why it happened and what we should do to avoid it next time. The lab reports were very important. They made up around 25% of our term grade. 1. How did the writer feel when he first took the chemistry class in the lab?  　Surprised./He felt surprised　.　⁠ 2. Why did Mrs Louise change everyone’s lab partner in every lab class?  　To make us work with different classmates./Because she wanted to make us work with different classmates　.　⁠ 3. Was Mrs Louise angry with the students for their “noises”?  　No./No, she wasn’t　.　⁠ 4. What did the students have to do after finishing an experiment?  　They had to write a lab report　.　⁠ 5. What do you think of Mrs Louise’s lab class?  　It’s special and interesting/surprising/educational　.　⁠ Surprised./He felt surprised.　  　To make us work with different classmates./Because she wanted to make us work with different classmates.　⁠ No./No, she wasn’t.　 They had to write a lab report.　 It’s special and interesting/surprising/educational.　 根据短文内容,回答下列问题。 八、 (2022·随州)书面表达(共20分) “双减”之后,为了引导学生合理利用周末时间,最近你校开展了“如何让周末生活更有意义”的征文活动。请你从体育运动、家务劳动和社会活动三方面,用英语写一篇短文投稿,提出你的建议和看法。 　　写作要求:1. 短文必须包含以上三方面的内容,并适当发挥; 2. 文中不得出现真实姓名及校名; 3. 词数:80~100(开头已给出,不计入总词数)。 　　Nowadays, because of the “double reduction” policy, we students have some free time on weekends, but how can we make our weekends more meaningful? Here are my suggestions.  　Firstly, we can take part in many sports activities. Boys can play basketball, football and so on. Girls can swim, skate, or climb a mountain. These sports are good for our health. Secondly, when we are at home on weekends, we can help our parents do the housework, such as sweeping the floor and washing dishes. Finally, we can also join in some useful social activities. For example, we can go to the nursing home to help the old do things and clean the park.　 　In a word, let’s try to plan our free time well and make our weekends more meaningful.　⁠  　Firstly, we can take part in many sports activities.
