九、阅读理解
A
China is famous for tea. Drinking tea is very popular in China and even around the world. It’s said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.
Nowadays, according to different processing ways, there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea. They are green tea, black tea, Oolong tea and scented(有香味的) tea. Without fermentation(发酵), green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking, it will be black tea. Oolong tea is partially(部分地)fermented. And if fragrant flowers are mixed in the tea during the processing, the scented tea will be made.
Tea is produced in many different areas in China. For example, Anxi and Hangzhou are widely known for their tea. Tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains. When the leaves are ready, they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing. Later, the tea is packed and sent to many different countries and places around China.
It’s believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660.The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century.
Tea is good for people’s health and plays an important role in Chinese social life.

A. Shen Nong. B. Lu Yu. C. Hou Yi. D. Yu Gong.
2.How many kinds of Chinese tea are there according to different processing ways in general
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
3.What does the underlined word “fragrant” mean

①Later, the tea is packed.
②When the leaves are ready, they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1, 100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.
Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated from heat or cold with paper.
However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48, 000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.
So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.
In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
5.Why did Canada become an important country in paper making
A.Because it was a large country.
B.Because it had lots of forests.
C.Because it was a very rich country.
D.Because the inventor was from Canada.
6.In Finland, paper is used for________.
A.making bed B.reducing waste
C.making umbrellas D.keeping warm
7.According to the passage, how many trees are needed to make one ton of paper
A.10. B.17 C.2800 D.48000
8.Paragraph 5 mainly talks about________.
A.how paper boots are made B.how paper was invented
C.how we can save paper D.how we can make useful things
【答案】BDBC
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。起初介绍的是纸张发明和使用的历史,最后其实是一篇呼吁人们节约用纸的文章。保护地球,从我做起。
5.B细节理解题。根据文中“After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.”可知,加拿大成为世界上造纸最重要的国家是因为加拿大的森林丰富。故选B。
6.D细节理解题。根据文中“In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated from heat or cold with paper.”可知,芬兰人用纸来保暖。故选D。
7.B细节理解题。根据文中“It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper.”可知,一吨纸需要17棵树。故选B。
8.C主旨大意题。根据第五段“So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.”可知,本段主要介绍我们如何节约纸张。故选C。

China is famous for tea. Drinking tea is very popular in China and even around the world. It’s said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.
Nowadays, according to different processing ways, there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea. They are green tea, black tea, Oolong tea and scented(有香味的) tea. Without fermentation(发酵), green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking, it will be black tea. Oolong tea is partially(部分地)fermented. And if fragrant flowers are mixed in the tea during the processing, the scented tea will be made.
Tea is produced in many different areas in China. For example, Anxi and Hangzhou are widely known for their tea. Tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains. When the leaves are ready, they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing. Later, the tea is packed and sent to many different countries and places around China.
It’s believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660.The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century.
Tea is good for people’s health and plays an important role in Chinese social life.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1, 100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.
Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated from heat or cold with paper.
However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48, 000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.
So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.
In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
