This simple snack shows Chinese cooking wisdom. People turn ordinary eggs into something wonderful. Making tea eggs needs four important steps. First, they boil (煮) fresh eggs until they become hard. Then, they take a spoon and tap each egg to make many small cracks (裂缝). This is the most important step—the cracks need to be everywhere, but the shells (壳) have to stay on. Next, they put these cracked eggs into a pot with black tea, soy sauce (酱油), and spices (香料). They add just enough water to cover all the eggs. Then they boil everything and turn down the fire to let it cook slowly for about an hour. Finally, they keep the eggs in the soup for several more hours. Some people even leave them there overnight. This waiting time lets the taste go deep into the eggs through the cracks, creating beautiful brown patterns (花纹) and making them truly delicious. This delicious food started hundreds of years ago. One story says it began when a Ming Dynasty cook dropped boiled eggs into a pot of tea. He didn’t expect that the eggs tasted wonderful with tea flavor (风味). Soon, many people started to cook eggs this way. Today, tea eggs are still popular across China. With their special patterns and fantastic flavor, tea eggs play such an important role in Chinese food culture. Not only are tea eggs delicious and easy to cook, but they carry the taste of home and happy memories. 13. What is the most important step in making tea eggs? A. B. C. D. 14. What can we INFER from the story about the Ming Dynasty cook? A. Only rich and powerful people could eat tea eggs at first. B. People didn’t like tea eggs when they first appeared. C. It was an accident for the cook to create tea eggs. D. It takes several weeks to cook delicious tea eggs. 15. What can we learn from the passage? A. Making tea eggs needs many special skills. B. Tea eggs are the most delicious Chinese snack. C. Tea eggs are becoming less popular in modern China. D. Tea eggs are a symbol of Chinese tradition and culture. 16. What is the author’s attitude (态度) towards tea eggs? A. Tea eggs are too difficult to cook for Chinese. B. Tea eggs are a meaningful part of Chinese culture. C. The author is worried that they will soon disappear. D. The author believes they taste better than before. 二、还原短文（共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面材料，从所给的A～E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项） On November 25, 2025, China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism showed Jixiangma, the mascot (吉祥物) for the 2026 Happy Chinese New Year. ____17____ It serves as a connection between traditional Chinese culture and people around the world. ____18____ The design of Jixiangma draws ideas from Chinese history and art.

It’s not only cheap but also good for the environment. People can rent a bike easily by scanning a QR code with their phones and put it back at any allowed parking place. However, bike-sharing also brings some problems. Some users park bikes here and there on sidewalks or even in the middle of roads. This blocks traffic and causes safety risks. A recent survey shows that over 40% of complaints about bike-sharing are about parking bikes in wrong places. What’s more, some bikes are broken on purpose—their seats are damaged, or their locks are destroyed. This makes it harder for other people to use them. But bike-sharing still has great value. It helps cut down air pollution by replacing car trips for short distances. Many students and office workers choose it because it saves time when the traffic is busy. Cities are also doing something, like setting more parking areas and punishing bad users, to make bike-sharing better. 41. How can people rent a bike-sharing bike easily? _________________________________________________________________ 42. What is the main complaint about bike-sharing according to the survey? _________________________________________________________________ 43.
