Interested in the wonderful smell, Shennong took a sip （一小口）and I found it refreshing. Since Shennong’s discovery, tea has been grown and enjoyed throughout the world. In the beginning, tea was used in ritual offerings （祭品）.Then, tea leaves were eaten as a vegetable, or used in medicine. Until the Han Dynasty, tea was a new drink.

It is likely that his experience growing up surrounded by tea inspired （激励）his book written during the Tang Dynasty, ln The Book of Tea. Lu Yu recorded a detailed account of ways to grow and prepare tea, tea drinking customs, the best water for tea making and different kinds of tea. Powdered （粉末状的）tea became fashionable during the Song Dynasty, but disappeared completely from Chinese culture after the Yuan Dynasty, when Song culture was largely deleted during the Yuan Dynasty.

Passage 46阅读理解（Xuankong Temple at Hengshan Mountain:恒山悬空寺） Cultural experts say Shanxi is home to the largest number of ancient buildings in China. Xuankong Temple at Hengshan Mountain in Hunyuan County is no doubt one of the most wonderful examples of such a saying. Made of wood, tiles （瓦片）and stones during the mid-Northern Wei Dynasty, the temple is made up of two three-story pavilions （阁）and a yard linked by staircases and steps. The staircases and steps are lined along the surface of a sheer cliff （悬崖）rising 50 meters above a stream at the foot of the mountain. Seen from below, Xuankong Temple, which literally means "temple hanging in the sky”, appears terribly dangerous. It is supported only by a few thin stanchions （支 柱）standing on protruding （伸出）rocks. For that reason, it was selected by Time magazine as one of the 10 most dangerous buildings in the world in 2010. Sun Shupeng, an engineer, however, disagreed with the idea that Xuankong Temple is, in fact, a dangerous structure. “The temple has been standing firmly on the Hengshan cliff for more than 1,500 years and is still kept intact （完好无损的）and solid,“ he said. "A study of the temple is an exploration of an ancient Chinese engineering miracle.” Sun said the stanchions were only added recently as a psychological （心理的）comfort to visitors. About twenty thick square beams （梁）support most of the building's weight. A number of large, deep holes were dug into the cliff's surface, and two-thirds of the length of the beams together with wedges （楔子）were driven into each one. In addition to its strong building, local people have found that the section of cliff above the temple acts like an umbrella to protect the temple from rain and sunlight. In summer, when the daytime is the longest, the temple only receives about two hours of direct sunlight a day during the morning. The narrow valley it faces also changes the direction of airflow. The wind usually blows toward the cliff facing the temple, but rarely reaches the temple. 1 What can we learn from Paragraph 2? ① The temple is at the top of the mountain. ② There is a river at the foot of the mountain. ③The temple is made of wood, tiles and stones. ④ The temple is made up of two yards and a pavilion. A. 1 2 B. 2 3 C. 3 4 D.1 4 2 Why does the temple look terribly dangerous? A. Because it is badly broken. B. Because it was built 1,500 years ago. C. Because it is 50 meters high above a stream. D. Because it seems to be supported only by a few thin stanchions. 3 What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 5? A. To advertise the value of the building. B. To show the safety of Xuankong Temple. C. To explain how Xuankong Temple was built. D. To tell the purpose of building Xuankong Temple. 4 What is the best title for the passage? A. An Ancient Building Facing a Valley B. An Ancient Building with Three Stories C. Xuankong Temple: a Popular Tourist Attraction D. Xuankong Temple: a Wonder of Ancient Times Passage 47 阅读理解（Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum Site Park and Terracotta Warriors: 秦始皇陵及兵马俑） Buried （埋葬）deep under a hill in central China, surrounded by an underground moat （护城河），an emperor has lain in peace for more than two thousand years.
