While tea may have originated in Asia,now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all result in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. Today,Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both informal and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea,especially Japanese Matcha,which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years has become popular in Western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea,British tea culture is what comes to mind.A hot cup of English Breakfast Tea or Earl Grey serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pickmeup for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.

I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions.Speaking to strangers was not encouraged.People were most hospitable (好客的) and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people.
However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
I experienced Italian hospitality firsthand on a crowded railway carriage traveling,one afternoon,from Genoa to Florence.Sinking gratefully into an empty seat,I was berated (斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat—it had not been “spare” after all.I apologized in English,and got up to allow him back into the seat.The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language,but he,too,realized my genuine mistake.He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the rest of the journey.The other passengers of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them.I feel that if this had been in England,a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
Transport was also obvious in the differences I noticed between English and American culture.I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers.We sat together in near silence.Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know.They felt it was not polite to disturb someone else's privacy.However, when I traveled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation.Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself,which was usually a pleasant way to kill time.They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己在不同国家旅行的经历来告诉大家,不同文化里人们对好客和礼貌的定义是不同的。

In an amusing atmosphere at a historical palace in the Sayeda Zeinab neighborhood of the Egyptian capital Cairo, a large audience of different ages interacted lively during an Aragoz show, the traditional Egyptian hand puppet(木偶) performance.The threeday event was meant to shed light on Aragoz as a unique art performance, give people a chance to see the beauty of puppet shows, and save the art that faces the danger of extinction.
Aragoz is a classic form of Egyptian theater art using traditional hand puppetry.During the performances, puppeteers remain hidden inside a small portable (便携式的) stage while an assistant interacts with the puppets and the crowd.Aragoz takes its name from the main puppet, whose unique voice is created with a voice modifier (修改器). Performers and the audience interact throughout the show, which creates a comic and entertaining atmosphere, and practitioners must be skilled in controlling the puppets.
The art used to be presented by traveling performers, who moved from one folk celebration to another.However, as these performances began to decline(衰退), performers and their assistants settled permanently (永久地) in fixed places.The number of surviving practitioners has decreased, while many of those who once put on stories have now disappeared.Many people see the need to protect the Aragoz show, explaining that it is not only an important traditional cultural heritage in the country, but also serves to entertain the public, especially the children.
“The audiences were enjoying our shows.Many of them only saw Aragoz on TV and in movies, while those who saw live Aragoz performances recalled childhood memories,” said Bahgat, a professor of theater at Helwan University.“We are now in the era of technology and direct communication has become limited, so I think that we have an opportunity to spread this art again because virtual social media could not make up for the human need to watch such live shows,” he stressed.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了埃及一种传统的木偶表演——阿拉戈兹。
28.Why does the author refer to the threeday performance?( )
A.To tell a story.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To highlight an opinion.

B 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,题干中的“the threeday performance”指的是木偶表演,而文章介绍的就是木偶表演的相关情况,因此作者提到三天的演出是为了引入文章话题。
29.What can we learn about the puppeteers?( )
A.They create the puppet's unique voice.
B.They interact directly with the audience.
C.They perform without being observed by the audience.
D.They must be skilled in interacting throughout the show.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“During the performances...with the puppets and the crowd.”可知,观众看不到木偶操纵者。
30.What made Aragoz performers settle down?( )
A.The disappearance of many performers.
B.The decline in popularity of the performances.
C.The need to preserve the traditional cultural heritage.
D.An increase in the number of surviving practitioners.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, as these performances began to decline...in fixed places.”可知,许多表演者的消失让阿拉戈兹的表演者定居下来。
31.What is Bahgat's attitude to the future of live Aragoz performances?( )
A.Optimistic.
B.Negative.
C.Unconcerned.
D.Doubtful.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We are now...need to watch such live shows”可知,巴赫贾特认为虚拟社交媒体满足不了人们观看现场表演的需求,由此可推知,他对未来阿拉戈兹现场表演的态度是乐观的。
D
Many believe that only humans can truly create art. But as technology rapidly advances, there's a growing debate over whether AIgenerated art should be respected just as highly. Just on November 7, a portrait of mathematician Alan Turing became the first artwork created by a humanoid robot to be sold at auction (拍卖) , getting $1.08 million at Sotheby's, New York.
The portrait of Turing, titled A.I. God, was created by AiDa, an AIpowered robot introduced in 2019 by British art specialist Aidan Meller. AiDa, named after Ada Lovelace who was thought to be the world's first computer programmer, is regarded as “thefirstultrarealistic humanoid AI robot artist”. The work honors Alan Turing, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern computing and artificial intelligence.
Although A.I. God was first expected to get up to $180,000, a series of 27 bids (投标) drove the price over $1 million. Sotheby's said in a statement, “Today's recordbreaking sale price marks a moment in the history of modern and contemporary art and reflects the growing communication between AI technology and the global art market.”
The robot AiDa first came up with the idea to create A.I. God during a discussion about “AI for good” with others in her studio. She then decided on the style, color, and tone of the portrait. Then she used the cameras in her eyes to process an image of Alan Turing as a reference. With her robotic hand, AiDa then painted on a small canvas, and the completed image was later enlarged using a printer.
A.I. God was exhibited in 2024 at the UN during the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva. Alongside her portrait of Turing, the exhibition included a selfportrait of AiDa herself and a painting of Ada Lovelace. AiDa, who uses AI to speak, said her art “invites viewers to think about the Godlike nature of AI while considering the ethical (道德的) and social influence of these advances.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能机器人AiDa创作的数学家艾伦·图灵的肖像画在拍卖会上拍出了高价。
32.What can be learned from paragraph 2?( )
A.The title of the portrait is “Alan Turing”.
B.AiDa is considered as an AI robot artist.
C.Alan Turing is the first computer programmer.
D.AiDa is named after her creator Aidan Meller.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“AiDa, named after Ada Lovelace...is regarded as ‘thefirstultrarealistic humanoid AI robot artist’.”可知,AiDa 被认为是人工智能机器人艺术家。
33.What is special about the portrait?( )
A.It has made history in art.
B.It is the first artwork created by AI.
C.It is thought highly of by the public.
D.It is sold at a price lower than expected.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Sotheby's said in a statement, ‘Today's recordbreaking...between AI technology and the global art market.’”可推知,这幅肖像画的特别之处在于它在艺术史上创造了历史。
34.How did AiDa create the portrait?( )
A.AiDa created the painting on the computer.
B.AiDa enlarged the portrait with her robotic hand.
C.AiDa used an image of Alan Turing for reference.
D.AiDa used cameras to take a photo of Alan Turing.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Then she used the cameras in her eyes to process an image of Alan Turing as a reference.”可知,AiDa在创作这幅肖像时,使用了艾伦·图灵的照片作为参考。
35.What is the best title for the passage?( )
A.The Portrait of Alan Turing Caught Public Attention
B.How Was a Portrait of Alan Turing Created by AiDa
C.Should Artworks Created by AI Be Respected as Highly
D.An AIcreated Portrait Gained a High Price at an Auction
D 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Just on November 7, a portrait of mathematician Alan Turing...getting $1.08 million at Sotheby's, New York.”可知,文章主要介绍了人工智能机器人AiDa创作的数学家艾伦·图灵的肖像画在拍卖会上拍出了高价,由此可知,D项最适合作文章标题。

Dear_Adam,
I'm thrilled to hear about your upcoming trip to China! For a city rich in history and culture, I highly recommend Xi'an.
As the starting point of the Silk Road, it boasts iconic sites like the Terracotta Warriors and the Ancient City Wall. Not only can you explore architectures of Ming and Qing dynasties but you can also have a taste of local snacks in its vibrant Muslim Quarter. Additionally, the Shaanxi History Museum offers deep insights into China's past. I'm sure you'll be amazed by its unique blend of ancient and modern charm.

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad's friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don't be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to run after it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees. “We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself. After a series of useless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home, for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost breaking down when my father said, “Don't worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.

I have been selling old furniture, really old furniture, for forty years. And people often ask me how I know the difference between something that is junk and something that is good. The answer is usually the age. Because in the past, more care was taken making things. The technology might have been worse in the past, but people had time to make things Better. People weren't as rich in the old days, so their furniture was made to last. Nowadays, if something breaks, we threw IT away. In the past, things were repared. Many of the beautiful old chairs and tables I see show signs of having been repaired many times. Do I mind? No, I love IT. IT gives them character. Of course, there are still some beautiful things being made today, but give me the old ones any day. How do you turn trash into treasure?
