Tea is no stranger to us Chinese people at all. But how much do you know about tea sets (茶具)? Do you know they have changed a lot over time?
In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included.
The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game about tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle (茶壶) used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then, since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu began to flourish and were loved widely. It’s said that tea made with Yixing purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night even in hot summer.
30. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By showing facts. B. By raising questions. C. By giving examples.
31. Which dynasty saw the coming out of Cha Jing?
A. The Tang Dynasty. B. The Song Dynasty. C. The Ming Dynasty.
32. Which may be the tea bottle used in the tea game during the Song Dynasty?
A. B. C.
33. Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word flourish?
flourish /'flʌrɪʃ/ v.
①to develop quickly and be successful or common
②to be healthy and happy
③to grow well
A. ① B. ② C. ③
34. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. The Development of Tea Sets
B. Good Tea Sets Make Good Tea
C. Tea Sets With Different Materials
【答案】30. B 31. A 32. C 33. A 34. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了茶具的发展历史。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Tea is no stranger to us Chinese people at all. But how much do you know about tea sets (茶具)? Do you know they have changed a lot over time?”可知文章是通过提出关于茶和茶具的问题来开启文章的。故选B。

【32题详解】

The Spring Festival in My Eyes
Chinese people have been celebrating the Spring Festival for centuries. In the old days, we used to set off fireworks and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. But now, things are different. We don’t set off fireworks much anymore because we want to protect the environment. Instead, we play games on our phones and chat with our family and friends online.
The food we eat during the Spring Festival has also changed. We still eat dumplings and fish, which are symbols of good luck, but we also try different kinds of food from all over the world.
I think these changes show how our lives are getting better and more colorful. Even though some old ways are gone, I like the new ways because they make the Spring Festival more fun and interesting. It’s a time to remember our traditions and also to enjoy the new things that come with the modern world.

Tea is no stranger to us Chinese people at all. But how much do you know about tea sets (茶具)? Do you know they have changed a lot over time?
In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included.
The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game about tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle (茶壶) used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then, since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu began to flourish and were loved widely. It’s said that tea made with Yixing purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night even in hot summer.
30. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By showing facts. B. By raising questions. C. By giving examples.
31. Which dynasty saw the coming out of Cha Jing?
A. The Tang Dynasty. B. The Song Dynasty. C. The Ming Dynasty.
32. Which may be the tea bottle used in the tea game during the Song Dynasty?
A. B. C.
33. Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word flourish?
flourish /'flʌrɪʃ/ v.
①to develop quickly and be successful or common
②to be healthy and happy
③to grow well
A. ① B. ② C. ③
34. What’s the best title for this passage?

At Milan Fashion Week last September in Italy, people were amazed at the beautiful pictures on the models’ clothes. What were these? Italian embroidery (刺绣)? Many people thought so. However, they were Chinese traditional Miao embroidery.
About four months before Milan Fashion Week, some embroidery works were chosen to be displayed (展示) at Milan Fashion Week. They showed the traditional art skills of the Miao people. The Miao are one of China’s 56 ethnic (民族的) groups. Miao people have a habit of embroidering beautiful pictures on their clothes. They have got ideas for these pictures from nature and ethnic history.
“I have never been to a foreign country, but my embroidery has,” Wang Rongbi said in excitement. Wang comes from Xiaogulong Village in Guizhou Province. She is one of the embroidery designers from the province.
Wang takes pride in where she comes from. In her pieces, she embroiders seals (印章) on different parts of clothes. In this way, she pays her great respect to the Siyin Miao, one branch (分支) of the Miao ethnic group.
Shi Chuanying is another Miao embroiderer from Guizhou. The 45-year-old was luckier than Wang. She went to the Milan Fashion Week. In July, Shi got an invitation, and on September 21, Shi left for Milan. She went there with ten embroidered pieces made for the catwalk.
The Miao people are happy to see the traditional costumes of their ethnic group at Milan Fashion Week. This makes them believe that Miao embroidery will have a better future.
“Traditional costumes can be very fashionable,” said Shi. “Hopefully, our ethnic culture has plenty of attraction (吸引力) from all over the world.”

During China’s May Day holiday this year, Jiang Xiaojuan and her husband took a special trip from Urumqi to Xiamen. They flew about 3,500 kilometres by plane, not just for fun but to enjoy their favourite sport—badminton. There are many great places to play badminton in Xiamen. After they arrived, they joined a group and played three matches.
From April 27 to May 4, Xiamen held the 2025 Sudirman Cup. It was a big badminton event (赛事). “Winning the final means so much to us fans,” Jiang said outside the stadium (体育场) shortly after cheering for China’s win in the final. For her, mixing (结合) sports with travel is a perfect way to relax. It’s good for both the body and the mind.
The city also added other interesting activities outside the sports fields. They made the tourists’ travel experiences more enjoyable.
As more and more young people live a healthy life, Chinese cities are using sports events to attract (吸引) more visitors. It’s also a great way to share their culture.
For example, at Jilin’s Chagan Lake, two exciting events happened at the same time: a 10-km marathon (马拉松) and a kite festival. When runners enjoyed their race, they could also see villages full of local culture. This let them learn more about the place.
Tourists today care more about new experiences than buying things. Sports travel brings them together and creates special moments. It also helps small places get more visitors. This great mix is making sports trips healthy, enjoyable, and full of surprises.
