Question

Minzhe has a large tea plantation (种植园) in his hometown in Guilin, Guangxi. (A) It covers an area of more than 650 square meters.

The quality of tea has to do with the tea plants. The leaf-picking and processing play an important part, too. A tea plant can only be picked when it is about three years old. At each picking, only young leaves can be picked. And tea plants are usually of different height. So Minzhe hardly ever uses machines. As an experienced tea farmer, Minzhe knows which leaves to pick and when to pick these leaves.

Planting tea needs great patience and lots of hard work. The day begins early for Minzhe.

He starts working at 5 o'clock in the morning. (B) He walks through the plants slowly and picks tea leaves carefully.

April is usually the busiest month for Minzhe. It's the best time to make best green tea.

Minzhe has to pick about 90,000 pieces of young leaves to make one pound (磅) of green tea. Soon after picking the leaves, he begins processing (C) them. The leaves are dried and rolled and then shaped. A heavy smell of the tea leaves fills the air in the workshop.

Minzhe picks about 50 pounds of leaves to make delicious tea in a full day's work. It makes him feel proud of himself. Being a tea farmer is hard work. However, for good tea, it is always worth it, Minzhe says.

【解析】

本文介绍了明哲的茶园。

1.

cover：覆盖；an area of：……的面积；more than 650 square meters：超过650平方米。占地面积。结合上文“明哲在广西桂林老家有一个大茶园。”可知此句翻译为“它占地面积超过650平方米。”。

2.

根据第2段第1和2句“The quality of tea has to do with the tea plants. The leaf-picking and processing play an important part, too.（茶叶的质量与茶树有关。叶的采摘和加工也起着重要的作用。）”可知“茶树、采摘、加工对茶叶品质都有重要影响。”故答案为“（1）The tea plants；（2）the leaf-picking；（3）processing 。

3.

根据第2段第5和6句“And tea plants are usually of different height. So Minzhe hardly ever uses machines.”可知民哲几乎从不使用机器原因是因为茶树的高度通常不同。故答案为“Because tea plants are usually of different height.”。

4.

walk through the plants slowly：慢地穿过植物；picks tea leaves：采摘茶叶；carefully小心翼翼地，picks tea leaves carefully：小心翼翼地采摘茶叶。故答案为“他慢慢地穿过植物，小心翼翼地采摘茶叶。”

5.

此句“Soon after picking the leaves, he begins processing them.”句意：摘完叶子后不久，他就开始加工它们。根据句意可知them指代“叶子”；故答案为the leaves。

6.

“The workshop is filled with a heavy smell of the tea leaves.”句意：车间里弥漫着浓浓的茶叶味。此句是被动语态，和第4段最后一句“A heavy smell of the tea leaves fills the air in the workshop.( 车间里空气中弥漫着浓浓的茶叶味。)”句意相同，第4段最后一句是主动语态。故答案为“A heavy smell of the tea leaves fills the air in the workshop.”。
