Question

Tea to the Chinese is like coffee to the Americans. It’s something that they can’t live without.

Chinese tea has a history of more than 5,000 years. It was most popular during the Tang Dynasty. China has many kinds of tea. White, yellow, green, oolong (乌龙茶), black and dark tea are the six main kinds.

People in different places drink tea in their own way. People in Guangdong and Fujian love to drink “Kung Fu Tea” in small tea cups. They clean the teapot (茶壶) first with boiling water to warm it up. Then they fill the teapot with tea leaves before putting in the boiling water.

In Beijing, people love jasmine flower（茉莉花）green tea. In Tibet, butter tea (酥油茶) is a popular drink to build up energy.

There are rules to follow when we serve tea to others. Most importantly, remember to make the cup only seven-tenths full. If the cup is too full, it makes the cup too hot for them to hold.

试题分析：短文大意：茶对于中国人就好像咖啡之于美国人，他们离开这些饮料无法生活。白茶，黄茶，绿茶，乌龙茶，红茶，黑茶，为中国的六种茶叶种类。中国的茶文化历史悠久，不同地区的人饮茶方式也不尽相同。沏茶时也有很多需要遵循的礼仪，规范。

1.C细节理解题。根据短文第二段中的句子“China has many kinds of tea. White, yellow, green, oolong (乌龙茶), black and dark tea are the six main kinds.”可知，白茶，黄茶，绿茶，乌龙茶，红茶，黑茶，为六种主要的茶叶种类，但是C选项没在其中。故答案为C。

2.A细节理解题。根据短文第三段最后的句子““They clean the teapot (茶壶) first with boiling water to warm it up.”可知，他们首先使用热水清洗茶壶是为了使茶壶温热一下。答案为A。

3.D 细节理解题。根据短文最后一段“There are rules to follow when we serve tea to others. Most importantly, remember to make the cup only seven-tenths full.”可知最重要的是，不要把茶壶弄得太满。故答案为D。
