Ordering takeouts is very popular nowadays because it is convenient. More than 60 percent of the people in China order takeout food at least twice a week. If people don’t want to eat out, they can just order takeouts on the smart phone and wait for it to be delivered (送达). What about people living in ancient times Did they eat takeouts
In fact, here was takeout as far back as the Song Dynasty. According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong(1127-1194) liked to order takeouts late at night. His servants then went around the city to pick up the dishes and bring them back to the palace.
Ordinary (普通的) people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and yell out which dishes could be ordered that day. After hearing the waiters, people could then place an order. Later, delivery workers would bring food to their homes. In the famous Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival (《清明上河图》), a takeout worker can be seen on a delivery with food in hand.
People at that time even had a special meal box for takeout dishes. It was a long wooden box with several layers. People also used warming plates made of two layers of porcelain (瓷). Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm.

By drawing patterns(图案)on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has become popular for its clear similarity with modern latte art(咖啡拉花艺术).However,ten years ago this special technique was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi. found scenes of chabaixi in the dram aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding(碾碎) tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth(泡沫), and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk, But when the water touches the surface of whipped(搅打起泡沫的) tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique,diancha. The quality of diancha is important to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only that this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period when leisure activities in some ways resemble what we have now” Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was listed as part of China Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng. He started researching the origins of chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of trials and practice. Zhang spent nearly 30 years studying and researching the origins and making of tea but for him it was all worthwhile.
This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history Zhang said.
63. What do we know about chabaixi
A. It is painted with whipped milk instead of clear water.
B. It is based on latte art which has clear similarity to each other.
C. The technique was listed as part of World's Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017.
D. The tea-making skills matters a lot to whether we can successfully produce patterns.
64. What are the right steps to create endless patterns of Chabaixi
①drawing the patterns ②stirring the mixture for thick froth
③pouring boiled water ④grinding tea for fine powder
A. ①②③④ B. ③②④① C. ④③②① D. ③②①④
65. According to the passage, which of the following is true about Zhang Zhifeng
A. He teaches people the tea culture of the Song Dynasty.
B. He is devoted to developing chabaixi through media.
C. He encourages people to pass on the technique of chabaixi.
D. He is leading young generations to improve chabaixi.
66. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To introduce Zhang Zhifeng to the readers.
B. To teach us how to make Chabaixi successfully.
C. To show the foreigners tea culture of the Song Dynasty.
D. To tell the importance of passing on the technique of making Chabaixi.

Why do We Celebrate Festivals
Festivals are celebrated all around the world. Every festival has its different customs. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, thanks, love, or peace is common in all festivals.
Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest(丰收) festival can be found in almost every culture. This important festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in. People celebrate to show that they are thankful for the year’s supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It had a parade and a great large meal with music dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious moon cakes.
Customs play an important role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time because of the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas. One example is the Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting fireworks to drive away the evil(恶毒的) spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children which is far from its original custom.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial(商业的) with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialized, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy(经济) and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society. They show people’s wishes, beliefs and attitudes towards life. They allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to thank for. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.
101．What is the common spirit in all festivals
102．Which festival can be found in almost every culture
103．Why do customs in some festivals change over time
104．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
105．What do you think of festivals’ becoming more commercial Why do you think so

Dear Timmy,
How are you It's over a year since I saw you last time. How I miss you!
I am glad to tell you that we had an outing on April 9. We set out from our school by bus at 7:00 a. m. An hour later we arrived at a lake about 10 kilometers west of Hangzhou. The lake was very beautiful. We boated on the lake and had lunch in a small restaurant. In the afternoon, we climbed a beautiful mountain and enjoyed the beautiful view. At 4:00 p.m., we had to go back. All of us had a wonderful time.
How did you spend your spare time
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Xiao Ming
听第二篇短文，回答第16-20 题。
Father’s Day has a short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day. Some Americans thought if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day.
Now more and more countries have Father’s Day, though they don’t celebrate it on the same day. In China, the official Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June but is not a public holiday.Now, what do people in America do on Father’s Day The newspaper, radio, and TV tell children what they should do—buy a Father’s Day present. They even tell wives to buy Father’s Day presents—not only for their fathers but also for their husbands.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that children can show their love for their fathers on this day.
