It may be hard to believe, but the American Revolution(革命)—the war that freed the American states from British control—began over a cup of tea. Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.
The British people’s love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over mush of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea- drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the continents most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the country—mostly from India.
In the early 1700s, the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company, as an English trading company. They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products. And it always decided on a high price!
In North America, the local people did not like having to pay such high prices. Instead of overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders, who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good—and much less expensive. Although this broke the law, the American people didn’t care. They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.
The East India Company, however, didn’t like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders—a huge amount of money in a time when £60 a year was considered a good income. Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch, the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed.
In 1767, the British introduced new law that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America. These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything. The American leaders asked the British government not to do so, but the British refused to listen. These unfair laws increased Americans’ anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history.

五、阅读表达(共5小题,计10分)
Take a trip up a hill on a windy day. What is flying high in the sky? It isn't a bird or a plane. It is a kite!
Kids and adults like flying kites. Long ago, the first kites were made by Chinese people. Then, people around the world began flying kites.
One story tells a man's hat got lifted off by wind. He had fun chasing his hat, so he did it again! His hat became the first kite. Other stories tell that people liked watching leaves on windy days. They tied leaves to strings and watched them fly.
Long ago, kites became important in keeping China protected. A man might be lifted up by a kite while he spied(监视) on an enemy. He could use the kite to fly high like a plane. He could also fight from the air!
Kites come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. They are usually made of cloth or paper. A kite might be shaped like a bird, a fish, or just a box. Kites are also painted with colors.
You can use a kite to catch fish. First you tie a fishing line to a kite. Then you put bait(鱼饵) on the line. You watch the kite with hopes as it flies over the water. When you pull the kite down, you might find a fish on your line! Some people think this is more fun than using a fishing pole(杆).
Many countries have special days to honor kites. People make, sell and fly many types of kites. There are several kite festivals in China. The Beijing International Kite Festival is usually held in April every year. People spend all days flying kites. You might see famous fighter kites. People fly these kites quite fast and try to cut other flyer's lines.
There is much to learn about kites. From long ago in China until now, kites have had many uses. They have been used for spying, fighting, and fishing. But the best way to use a kite is to fly it high for fun!

六、Chinese knotting is my favorite form of Chinese traditional art, for it is beautiful and elegant, and can be used as adornments on clothing or to hang from the ceiling or on a wall for home decorations.
Most knots are double-layered and symmetrical and have two cords entering the knot from the top and two leaving from the bottom. Knot weavers can use a variety of colors, but they usually weave deep red ones because the color signifies good luck and prosperity.
From what I have so far gathered, the art of tying knots dates back approximately a hundred thousand years in prehistoric times because tools, such as bone needles, which were probably used to tie and untie knots, have been discovered. Later, in the Tang Dynasty, knots were used for artistic decoration and to symbolize and express thoughts and feelings.
Today, Chinese knots are rich in meaning, and they therefore hold sentimental value when given as gifts or passed down through families. For example, lovers may give a knot as a token of their love.
A. form B. when D. Actually E. training F. developed
A. or B. invited C. me D. finished E. really F. events
A.The main tool for paper cutting is scissors.
B.Most of the paper cut artists are women.
C.It takes a long time to become a master of paper cut.
D.Paper cutting is also very popular in foreign countries.
E.This kind of art went after the invention of paper in Han Dynasty.
F.Paper cuts made in different areas have different characteristics.
