For the British， there are two days of celebration for tea.National Tea Day is on 21 April every year， but just a month later， it’s International Tea Day — when other nations join in celebrating Brits’ favourite drink.

Tom Jenkins

[1]It was my first time spending Spring Festival in China with my host① family.Spring Festival is highly② valued③ by every Chinese family.Preparations began a week before the festival.First， the house was cleaned from top to bottom④.My host mother Mrs Chen said this was to sweep away⑤ the dirt of the past year and get ready for the new year.
Next， the Chinese character⑥ Fu was attached⑦ upside down⑧ to our front door.[2]It is believed that when Fu is put upside down， happiness arrives.The character looked really cool.
The greatest excitement began the night before Spring Festival.[3]Fireworks were being let off⑨ across the city， suddenly lighting up⑩ the night sky.[4]Children were covering their ears but with an expectant look on their faces.Mrs Chen said that it was to scare away the monster Nian.The fireworks were a lot of fun！ We then sat together to enjoy a big dinner， wishing everyone a happy new year.

【参考译文】
来自编辑的注释：春节是中国的重要传统节日，有着独特的意义。但是，不同的人，包括文化背景不同的人，可能对春节有不同的理解。这是我们杂志三位读者的叙述，分享了他们关于春节的经历和看法。
汤姆·詹金斯，16岁，交换生，居住南京
这是我第一次在中国和我的寄宿家庭一起过春节。每个中国家庭都十分重视春节。准备工作从节前一周开始。首先，房子从上到下都打扫了一遍。我的房东妈妈陈太太说这是清除过去一年的积尘，为新的一年做准备。
接下来，汉字“福”倒贴在我们的前门上。人们认为“福”字被倒贴时，幸福就会到来。这个字看起来很酷。
最让人兴奋的是除夕夜。烟花在城市上空燃放，瞬间照亮了夜空。孩子们虽捂着耳朵，脸上却充满期待的表情。陈太太说这是为了吓跑年兽。烟花很有趣！然后我们坐在一起享受丰盛的晚餐，大家互相祝福新年快乐。
徐刚，28岁，计算机工程师，在上海工作
我通常在春节前几周就开始计划回山西的行程，因为必须尽早预订火车票或机票。我非常细心地为父母挑选礼物。今年，我给父亲买了一瓶酒，给母亲买了一件漂亮的毛衣。
每年，一坐上火车，我就会被山西方言包围，我意识到我踏上了回家的路。我不能经常回山西，因此每年回到家，我父母会把这一年发生的事一股脑儿地告诉我，谁结婚了，谁有小孩了，谁上大学了，等等。很高兴知道大家都在做什么。
我们通常会吃火锅，很好吃！但是，吃什么不重要，重要的是和谁一起吃。和我的家人一起回到过去，谈论过去是一件很美好的事。当我还是个孩子的时候，春节是爆竹、糖果和装饰品；随着年龄的增长，回家和全家人待在一起则成了春节最重要的一部分。
李燕，70岁，一位奶奶，居住黑龙江
春节是我们的家庭时间。我和丈夫都退休了。我们不经常见到我们的孩子和孙子孙女，非常想念他们。春节前几周，我们开始为他们回家做准备。日子慢慢开始变得忙碌起来。我们琢磨孩子们喜欢吃什么，我们需要买什么，需要准备什么菜。
当每个人都到家时，我们的房子充满各种活动和声响。我们的孙辈一边跑一边喊，一边玩，大人们围在桌子旁谈论过去的一年。厨房里也很有趣，因为正在包饺子。在这段时间里，我们通常吃饺子，因为它在这个场合有一些特殊的意义——它是我们期望来年健康和幸福的标志。对我来说，家庭团聚的快乐——就是春节。
纵观历史，一些原始习俗已经改变了，但是春节的精神——家庭精神——在很大程度上得到了保留。全国各地的人们仍在践行着大部分重要的春节传统。

Notes from the editor：Spring Festival is an important tradition in
China.It has unique meanings.However， people may understand it
differently， including those from other cultures.Here are three readers’
accounts to our magazine， in which the readers shared their experiences
and views about it.
Tom Jenkins
a 16-year-old exchange student living in Nanjing
[1]It was my first time spending Spring Festival in China with my
host① family.Spring Festival is highly② valued③ by every Chinese
family.Preparations began a week before the festival.First， the house was
cleaned from top to bottom④.My host mother Mrs Chen said this was to
sweep away⑤ the dirt of the past year and get ready for the new year.
Next， the Chinese character⑥ Fu was attached⑦ upside down⑧ to
our front door.[2]It is believed that when Fu is put upside down，
happiness arrives.The character looked really cool.
The greatest excitement began the night before Spring
Festival.[3]Fireworks were being let off⑨ across the city， suddenly
lighting up⑩ the night sky.[4]Children were covering their ears but with an
expectant look on their faces.Mrs Chen said that it was to scare away
the monster Nian.The fireworks were a lot of fun！ We then sat together
to enjoy a big dinner， wishing everyone a happy new year.

their homecoming.Things start to get really busy.[10]We think about what
the children would like to eat， what we need to buy and what dishes need
to be prepared.
Our house buzzes with activities when everyone comes
home.[11]Our grandchildren run around shouting and playing， and the
adults gather around the table to talk about the past year.Great fun is also
enjoyed in the kitchen as jiaozi are being made.We always have jiaozi
during this time， as they mean something special on this occasion —
they are a sign of our wishes for health and happiness in the coming
year.To me， this is Spring Festival－the joy of a family gathering.
Throughout history， some of the original customs have

being practised by people across the country.

这个节日的精神
【参考译文】
来自编辑的注释：春节是中国的重要传统节日，有着独特的意
义。但是，不同的人，包括文化背景不同的人，可能对春节有不同的
理解。这是我们杂志三位读者的叙述，分享了他们关于春节的经历和
看法。
汤姆·詹金斯，16岁，交换生，居住南京
这是我第一次在中国和我的寄宿家庭一起过春节。每个中国家庭
都十分重视春节。准备工作从节前一周开始。首先，房子从上到下都
打扫了一遍。我的房东妈妈陈太太说这是清除过去一年的积尘，为新
的一年做准备。
接下来，汉字“福”倒贴在我们的前门上。人们认为“福”字被倒贴
时，幸福就会到来。这个字看起来很酷。
最让人兴奋的是除夕夜。烟花在城市上空燃放，瞬间照亮了夜
空。孩子们虽捂着耳朵，脸上却充满期待的表情。陈太太说这是为了
吓跑年兽。烟花很有趣！然后我们坐在一起享受丰盛的晚餐，大家互
相祝福新年快乐。
徐刚，28岁，计算机工程师，在上海工作
我通常在春节前几周就开始计划回山西的行程，因为必须尽早预
订火车票或机票。我非常细心地为父母挑选礼物。今年，我给父亲买
了一瓶酒，给母亲买了一件漂亮的毛衣。
每年，一坐上火车，我就会被山西方言包围，我意识到我踏上了
回家的路。我不能经常回山西，因此每年回到家，我父母会把这一年
发生的事一股脑儿地告诉我，谁结婚了，谁有小孩了，谁上大学了，
等等。很高兴知道大家都在做什么。
我们通常会吃火锅，很好吃！但是，吃什么不重要，重要的是和
谁一起吃。和我的家人一起回到过去，谈论过去是一件很美好的事。
当我还是个孩子的时候，春节是爆竹、糖果和装饰品；随着年龄的增
长，回家和全家人待在一起则成了春节最重要的一部分。
李燕，70岁，一位奶奶，居住黑龙江
春节是我们的家庭时间。我和丈夫都退休了。我们不经常见到我
们的孩子和孙子孙女，非常想念他们。春节前几周，我们开始为他们
回家做准备。日子慢慢开始变得忙碌起来。我们琢磨孩子们喜欢吃什
么，我们需要买什么，需要准备什么菜。
当每个人都到家时，我们的房子充满各种活动和声响。我们的孙
辈一边跑一边喊，一边玩，大人们围在桌子旁谈论过去的一年。厨房
里也很有趣，因为正在包饺子。在这段时间里，我们通常吃饺子，因
为它在这个场合有一些特殊的意义——它是我们期望来年健康和幸福
的标志。对我来说，家庭团聚的快乐——就是春节。
纵观历史，一些原始习俗已经改变了，但是春节的精神——家庭
精神——在很大程度上得到了保留。全国各地的人们仍在践行着大部
分重要的春节传统。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
For the British， there are two days of celebration for tea.National
Tea Day is on 21 April every year， but just a month later， it’s
International Tea Day — when other nations join in celebrating Brits’
favourite drink.
Every year International Tea Day is on 21 May.International Tea Day
has been celebrated in popular tea-growing countries like India and Sri
Lanka since 2005， but was only accepted by the United Nations in
December 2019.The date was then moved from its normal December
celebration to 21 May.
Tea is drunk in so many cultures.However， it is hard to fix an exact
date as to when the drink was invented.It is believed to have originated
during the Yunnan， China during the Shang Dynasty as a medicinal drink.
An early record of tea drinking is noted in the third century CE before
spreading across the globe.It became a popular drink in the 17th century in
Britain.And the British went on to introduce its production in India.
Which tea is best for health？ Chamomile（甘菊） and Green teas
are tied for first place when it comes to health.Both are considered the
healthiest tea choices.However， they serve different purposes.Chamomile
tea cuts blood-sugar levels.Green tea has been shown to improve blood
flow and lower cholesterol （胆固醇）.
Does the milk go in first or second in a cup of tea？ This age-old
debate has long divided tea lovers， and Twinings gave the answer.They
said on their website：“Historically， the ‘milk in first’ rule was to protect
the fine bone china it was served in — it’s a very individual thing.” So
there you have it， which side are you on？
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。5月21日是国际茶日，茶在我们的生
活中扮演着什么重要角色呢？
1. When do the British have two days of celebration for tea？
A. In April and May.
B. In April and June.

2. What do we learn about International Tea Day？
A. It has a history of 20 years.
B. The date has been changed.
C. It has been celebrated in May.

度和斯里兰卡等国庆祝，时间是12月，现在确定的新时间是每年的
5月21日。
3. Tea became popular in India thanks to .
A. the British B. the Chinese
C. the Japanese D. the Americans
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，17世纪茶叶开始在英国
流行，然后英国将其生产方式介绍到了印度。这自然会导致茶叶在
印度的流行。
4. Why was there the “milk in first” rule？
A. To protect the tea.
B. To protect the cup.
C. To make tea taste better.
D. To make milk taste better.
