It influences (影响) health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of America. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems in this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, sometimes it is very hot and in other time it is very cold. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQs of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold in these months. They might feel unhappy in cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger. Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-air-pressure days. There is a “good weather” for intelligence and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃. Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem. 1．This passage tells us it’s ________ in the southern part of America in August. A．hot and dry B．hot and wet C．cool and rainy D．dry and windy 2．The underlined word “intelligence” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong This famous poem, was written by Du Fu (712—770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes, he went to the farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers. The very first word, “Good”, shows Du’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to come. Here Du uses personification, as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season. The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the quiet spring rain finishes its task without being known. Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

New places bring excitement and it turns out that there is a science behind —“dopamine (多巴胺) and serotonin (血清素)”. Travel experts explain (解释) that dopamine and serotonin levels go up when we travel. Dopamine is one of the key chemicals. It can make us feel happy. When we join in activities that we enjoy, our brains will release (释放) it and it’ll give us a sense of joy and satisfaction. Serotonin is another key chemical. It is important to our mood, sleep, and diet. Our serotonin levels will drop when we get less daylight in winter. In short, the more dopamine and serotonin we have, the happier we will feel. Here’s how it actually makes us happier: Vitamin D can be boosted As we know, vitamin D is naturally made by the skin when we’re in the sun. When vitamin D boosts (增强) from sunlight, it will help the production of serotonin, to improve our sleep quality, and even reduce our stress (减少压力). Negative ions are ______ things Negative ions (负离子) are most found in fresh air, especially near bodies of water like oceans and waterfalls, and in forests. They have been shown to increase (升高) serotonin levels, energy levels, boost immune systems (免疫系统), and reduce stress levels. If we spent time on the beach, listening to the sound of crashing waves and feeling our stress wash away, that might thank to the negative ions. Travelling makes you social Social interaction (社交互动) also helps the release of both dopamine and serotonin. If we try a group tour, the new experiences and activities will also boost our dopamine and serotonin levels. Close to wildlife The beauty of nature can have a calming effect on the mind and body, and spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Watching the wonders of nature and seeing animals in their natural habit can boost dopamine and serotonin levels. And the physical activities like walking and hiking also have a mood-boosting effect. 1．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 2? A．To ask some questions about the topic.

Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate. It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, fit wolf because tourists in the area often fed it. This “act of kindness” led people to ask: Should tourists feed the wolf? Supporters think that without feeding, the wolf would die because it couldn’t get food by itself. But those who do not agree with the idea believe that humans should not mess with (干扰) natural order. Science, however, provides us with an answer. Research published in Scientific Reports in June 2019 studied how human feeding affected (影响) the lives of bottle-nose dolphins near Bun-bury, Australia. Dolphins there can sometimes get food from the Dolphin Discovery Centre. After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets. Feeding wild animals may lead them to depend (依靠) on humans for food, said Dai Qiang, a scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. What’s more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them. So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do? Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park, said that it’s best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it. 1．What happened to the wolf in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve? A．It died in the end. B．It grew fat and healthy. C．It became someone’s pet. D．Zoo workers saved it. 2．How does human feeding affect bottle-nose dolphins? A．Dolphins become more friendly to humans. B．Dolphins start to know the dangers from humans. C．The dolphins fed by humans die more easily. D．More dolphins choose to find food by themselves. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Everyone should take care of wild animals by themselves. B．The wild animals will never depend on themselves. C．We must feed wild animals at once when they are hungry. D．Humans may get sick if they feed sick wild animals. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．It advises people not to feed wild animals by themselves. B．It shows that it is correct for people to feed wild animals. C．It introduces different wild animals in the Nature Reserve. D．It recommends some ways to protect wild animals. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要讨论了野生动物是否应该被投喂。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate. It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, fit wolf because tourists in the area often fed it.”可知，这只狼被喂食后长得又胖又健康。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets.”可知，研究表明从船上寻找食物的海豚比自己寻找食物的海豚死亡风险更高，即人类喂养的海豚更容易死亡。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What’s more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them.”可知，人类如果喂养生病的野生动物，可能会生病。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do? Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park, said that it’s best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it.”可知，文章建议发现野生动物需要帮助时最好向政府报告，而不是自行喂养它。故选A。 （23-24八年级上·江苏连云港·期末）How can we relax after busy workdays?

The North Pole? Actually, early this December, sky lovers in cities as south as Beijing could see them, too. They enjoyed the colored lights in the night sky. Auroras come about because of the special activities of the Sun. The Sun sends out very small particles (粒子) all the time. But sometimes, it becomes more active and lets out more. The particles travel in space like a wind. When they come near Earth, they go around it. This is because the magnetic field (磁场) of Earth “protects” us from the “Wind”. At the North and South Poles, however, some particles may get in and meet with Earth’s air. Then, the particles get “excited” and have a “dance” with the air. So, we can see the moving auroras in the sky. When the “wind” is strong enough, the auroras can cover larger areas. While we feel wowed by the beautiful lights, we often ask, “Do auroras hurt us?” The answer is no. Auroras don’t hurt people’s health. But for astronauts (宇航员) in space, they need to use special ways to protect themselves from them, said Xinhua. For example, they won’t go on spacewalks when there are “sun storms”. Also, the particle storms may stop some satellites (卫星) from working, so they may bring trouble to the GPS on our smartphones. 1．Where are small particles from? A．The Sun. B．The North Pole. C．The South Pole. D．Seas. 2．How do auroras form? A．The Sun sends out active particles. B．Particles from the Sun “dance” with the air on Earth. C．The strong wind helps them travel in space. D．The magnetic field of Earth changed small particles. 3．What can we learn about “sun storms” from the last paragraph? A．“Sun storms” will kill astronauts. B．People can enjoy “sun storms” in the night sky. C．“Sun storms” can stop GPS work well. D．“Sun storms” will cause more sun activities. 4．Where can we probably read this passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a science book. C．In a diary. D．In a comic book. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些关于极光的科普知识。 1．细节理解题。根据“The Sun sends out very small particles (粒子) all the time.”可知小粒子来自太阳。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“At the North and South Poles, however, some particles may get in and meet with Earth’s air.

The water cycle (循环) is a natural process that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the Earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. In this article, we will learn about the water cycle and discuss its importance for the Earth. The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽). As water vapour rises into the sky, it cools down and the clouds are formed. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the ground again in different forms like rainwater or snow. The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would face many problems. When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly in need, it becomes a drought. Besides, water vapour can take heat (热) from the sun and keep our earth cool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our Earth alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay running with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our earth works and find better ways to protect our Earth. And that is our duty. 1．Which season might have the most active water cycle in China? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter. 2．Which is the right order of the water cycle according to the text? ① Water returns to the ground.    ② Rain or snow falls down. ③ Water vapour rises up.    ④ Clouds are formed in the sky. A．③②④① B．④②③① C．④③②① D．③④②① 3．Which of the following may be the topic sentence (主题句) of the article? A．Water is important for all living things on Earth. B．We will talk about the water cycle and discuss its importance for the Earth. C．The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate. D．The water cycle is a natural process that keeps the Earth alive. 4．It can be inferred (推测) from the article that ________. A．The water cycle happens the whole year only in China. B．Saving water can keep the Earth alive. C．Without the cycle, we may feel hotter in summer. D．Understanding how the Earth works helps us enjoy the beauty of nature. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To ask people to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. On November 29, 2022, Chinese traditional tea processing techniques (制作技艺) and their related (相关的) social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China’s tea culture has nurtured (培养) social practices. It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright. (寒夜客来茶当酒，竹炉汤沸火初红). Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods (煮沏法), dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people could enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡). However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40, 000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled” tea (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times. Through “stove-boiled” tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “it is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze (微风), and chat with best friends.” 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 1 refer to? A．Tea. B．China. C．Life. D．Firewood. 2．What does the writer want to tell us through Du Lei’s poem? A．It was very cold in winter. B．Tea was easier to boil than wine. C．Tea was less expensive than wine. D．It was a custom to welcome friends with tea. 3．When did steep tea become more popular? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．We don’t know about it. 4．What do people usually do before boiling tea in a teapot on a stove? A．They lightly roast tea leaves. B．They have snacks with their hot tea. C．They sit away from the stove to keep safe. D．They wear traditional hanfu and take photos. 5．Why are so many people interested in “stove-boiled” tea? A．To feel much warmer in cold winter. B．To share ideas with others on the Internet. C．To spend more time with their best friends. D．To taste a slower life and find their inner peace. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的茶文化以及在年轻人之间流行的“围炉煮茶”。 1．代词指代题。根据“tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.”可知，茶被认为是中国生活的七大必需品之一。如今，它已成为全球公认的人类共同文化瑰宝。所以it指的是茶，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads:”可知，作者想告诉我们主人用煮好的茶欢迎来访的客人是中国的传统习俗。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡).”可知，泡茶从明朝开始流行起来，故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea.”可知，他们先把茶叶稍微烤一下，然后把茶叶放在茶壶里，放在装满木炭的炉子上煮。人们在自然环境中围坐在火炉旁，边喝热茶边吃零食。所以在炉子上用茶壶煮茶之前，人们通常会轻轻地烤茶叶。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“Through ‘stove-boiled’ tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace.”可知，他们是为了品尝慢节奏的生活，寻找内心的平静。故选D。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题06 阅读理解之说明文（名校期末真题，20篇） （23-24八年级上·江苏盐城·期末）Today, you use money to buy things.

With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong This famous poem, was written by Du Fu (712—770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes, he went to the farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers. The very first word, “Good”, shows Du’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to come. Here Du uses personification, as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season. The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the quiet spring rain finishes its task without being known. Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier. Finally, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all the flowers bloom after the rain. 1．Which word is the most suitable for ▲ ?

Travel experts explain (解释) that dopamine and serotonin levels go up when we travel. Dopamine is one of the key chemicals. It can make us feel happy. When we join in activities that we enjoy, our brains will release (释放) it and it’ll give us a sense of joy and satisfaction. Serotonin is another key chemical. It is important to our mood, sleep, and diet. Our serotonin levels will drop when we get less daylight in winter. In short, the more dopamine and serotonin we have, the happier we will feel. Here’s how it actually makes us happier: Vitamin D can be boosted As we know, vitamin D is naturally made by the skin when we’re in the sun. When vitamin D boosts (增强) from sunlight, it will help the production of serotonin, to improve our sleep quality, and even reduce our stress (减少压力). Negative ions are ______ things Negative ions (负离子) are most found in fresh air, especially near bodies of water like oceans and waterfalls, and in forests. They have been shown to increase (升高) serotonin levels, energy levels, boost immune systems (免疫系统), and reduce stress levels. If we spent time on the beach, listening to the sound of crashing waves and feeling our stress wash away, that might thank to the negative ions. Travelling makes you social Social interaction (社交互动) also helps the release of both dopamine and serotonin. If we try a group tour, the new experiences and activities will also boost our dopamine and serotonin levels. Close to wildlife The beauty of nature can have a calming effect on the mind and body, and spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Watching the wonders of nature and seeing animals in their natural habit can boost dopamine and serotonin levels. And the physical activities like walking and hiking also have a mood-boosting effect. 1．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 2? A．To ask some questions about the topic.

Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate. It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, fit wolf because tourists in the area often fed it. This “act of kindness” led people to ask: Should tourists feed the wolf? Supporters think that without feeding, the wolf would die because it couldn’t get food by itself. But those who do not agree with the idea believe that humans should not mess with (干扰) natural order. Science, however, provides us with an answer. Research published in Scientific Reports in June 2019 studied how human feeding affected (影响) the lives of bottle-nose dolphins near Bun-bury, Australia. Dolphins there can sometimes get food from the Dolphin Discovery Centre. After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets. Feeding wild animals may lead them to depend (依靠) on humans for food, said Dai Qiang, a scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. What’s more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them. So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do? Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park, said that it’s best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it. 1．What happened to the wolf in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve? A．It died in the end. B．It grew fat and healthy. C．It became someone’s pet. D．Zoo workers saved it. 2．How does human feeding affect bottle-nose dolphins? A．Dolphins become more friendly to humans. B．Dolphins start to know the dangers from humans. C．The dolphins fed by humans die more easily. D．More dolphins choose to find food by themselves. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Everyone should take care of wild animals by themselves. B．The wild animals will never depend on themselves. C．We must feed wild animals at once when they are hungry. D．Humans may get sick if they feed sick wild animals. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．It advises people not to feed wild animals by themselves. B．It shows that it is correct for people to feed wild animals. C．It introduces different wild animals in the Nature Reserve. D．It recommends some ways to protect wild animals. （23-24八年级上·江苏连云港·期末）How can we relax after busy workdays? Walking through the city streets at weekends is now a new favourite among young people in China. It is called Citywalk. People can take a Citywalk on their own or by following a tour guide. They usually don’t go to famous shopping centres. Instead, they go to small shops or restaurants, take a close look at old buildings and know about the history and culture of the city. Many Citywalkers love to share their routes (路线) with others, including how long the walk will take and what beautiful places they will see along the way. It is helpful to others who also want to take a Citywalk. Nan Xi, a girl from Beijing, moved to Shanghai not long ago. One day, when she went online (在线) to find something interesting to do on weekends, she got to know about Citywalk. “I think Shanghai is a wonderful city to take a Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different things. It’s great for friends to walk together and take photos,” she said. She decided to have a try. She had a two-hour Citywalk tour. During the tour, the guide talked about the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “I enjoyed the trip that day. It gave me a better understanding of how Western and local cultures mix together in Shanghai. I can’t wait to take another Citywalk,” she said. Take a Citywalk at weekends!

Actually, early this December, sky lovers in cities as south as Beijing could see them, too. They enjoyed the colored lights in the night sky. Auroras come about because of the special activities of the Sun. The Sun sends out very small particles (粒子) all the time. But sometimes, it becomes more active and lets out more. The particles travel in space like a wind. When they come near Earth, they go around it. This is because the magnetic field (磁场) of Earth “protects” us from the “Wind”. At the North and South Poles, however, some particles may get in and meet with Earth’s air. Then, the particles get “excited” and have a “dance” with the air. So, we can see the moving auroras in the sky. When the “wind” is strong enough, the auroras can cover larger areas. While we feel wowed by the beautiful lights, we often ask, “Do auroras hurt us?” The answer is no. Auroras don’t hurt people’s health. But for astronauts (宇航员) in space, they need to use special ways to protect themselves from them, said Xinhua. For example, they won’t go on spacewalks when there are “sun storms”. Also, the particle storms may stop some satellites (卫星) from working, so they may bring trouble to the GPS on our smartphones. 1．Where are small particles from? A．The Sun. B．The North Pole. C．The South Pole. D．Seas. 2．How do auroras form? A．The Sun sends out active particles. B．Particles from the Sun “dance” with the air on Earth. C．The strong wind helps them travel in space. D．The magnetic field of Earth changed small particles. 3．What can we learn about “sun storms” from the last paragraph? A．“Sun storms” will kill astronauts. B．People can enjoy “sun storms” in the night sky. C．“Sun storms” can stop GPS work well. D．“Sun storms” will cause more sun activities. 4．Where can we probably read this passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a science book. C．In a diary. D．In a comic book. （23-24八年级上·江苏泰州·期末）Water is important for all living things on Earth. The water cycle (循环) is a natural process that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the Earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. In this article, we will learn about the water cycle and discuss its importance for the Earth. The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽). As water vapour rises into the sky, it cools down and the clouds are formed. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the ground again in different forms like rainwater or snow. The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would face many problems. When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly in need, it becomes a drought. Besides, water vapour can take heat (热) from the sun and keep our earth cool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our Earth alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay running with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our earth works and find better ways to protect our Earth. And that is our duty. 1．Which season might have the most active water cycle in China? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter. 2．Which is the right order of the water cycle according to the text? ① Water returns to the ground.    ② Rain or snow falls down. ③ Water vapour rises up.    ④ Clouds are formed in the sky.

Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. On November 29, 2022, Chinese traditional tea processing techniques (制作技艺) and their related (相关的) social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China’s tea culture has nurtured (培养) social practices. It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright. (寒夜客来茶当酒，竹炉汤沸火初红). Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods (煮沏法), dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people could enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡). However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40, 000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled” tea (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times. Through “stove-boiled” tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “it is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze (微风), and chat with best friends.” 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 1 refer to? A．Tea. B．China. C．Life. D．Firewood. 2．What does the writer want to tell us through Du Lei’s poem? A．It was very cold in winter. B．Tea was easier to boil than wine. C．Tea was less expensive than wine. D．It was a custom to welcome friends with tea. 3．When did steep tea become more popular? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．We don’t know about it. 4．What do people usually do before boiling tea in a teapot on a stove? A．They lightly roast tea leaves. B．They have snacks with their hot tea. C．They sit away from the stove to keep safe. D．They wear traditional hanfu and take photos. 5．Why are so many people interested in “stove-boiled” tea? A．To feel much warmer in cold winter. B．To share ideas with others on the Internet. C．To spend more time with their best friends. D．To taste a slower life and find their inner peace. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
