Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both
popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually. Although much of
this tea is consumed in Asian, European, and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share.
According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the
U.S. population on any given day. Black tea or green tea – iced, spiced, or instant – tea drinking has spurred
a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout Asia.
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in tropical
regions. On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new buds called
flush appear, they are plucked off by hand. Even in today’s world of modern agricultural machinery, hand
harvesting continues to be the preferred method. Ideally, only the top two leaves and a bud should be
picked. This new growth produces the highest quality tea.
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to 20
hours. During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp. Next, depending on the type of tea being
produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled
conditions of heat and humidity. For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green
color, and the fermentation process is skipped. Producing black teas requires fermentation during which the
tea leaves begin to darken. After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or black
color.
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was discovered in
2737 B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his drinking water as
it was boiling over a fire. As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting liquid and proclaimed
the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing. Though this account cannot be documented, it is thought
that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia, then to Europe, and
ultimately to America colonies around 1650.
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not
necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake. Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and therefore
easier on the stomach. Others have become interested in tea drinking since the National Cancer Institute

published its findings on the antioxidant properties of tea. But whether tea is enjoyed for its perceived health
benefits, its flavor, or as a social drink, teacups continue to be filled daily with the world’s most popular
beverage.
Question 46. Why does the author include statistics on the amount of tea produced, sold, and consumed?
A. To demonstrate tea’s popularity B. To show the expense of processing such a large quantity of tea
C. To explain why coffee is not the most popular beverage worldwide
D. To impress the reader with factual sounding information
Question 47. Based on the passage, what is implied about tea harvesting?
A. The method has remained nearly the same for a long time.
B. It is totally done with the assistance of modern agricultural machinery.
C. It is no longer done in China D. The method involves trimming the uppermost
branches of the plant.
Question 48. What does the word “they” in paragraph 2 of the passage refer to_____?
A. new buds B. tropical regions C. tea pickers D. evergreen plants
Question 49. Which of the following is NOT true about the tea production process?
A. Black tea goes through two drying phases during production.
B. Black tea develops its dark color during fermentation and final drying.
C. Green tea requires a long fermentation process. D. Green tea is often steamed to keep its color
Question 50. The word “documented” in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by which of the following
word?
A. kept B. proved C. stored D. ignored

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70.
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in
such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials
adversely
. Air pollution requires a very
flexible definition that permits continuous changes. When the first air pollution laws were established in
England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled- a
far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and
knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In
the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are
found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various
chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles.
These
serve as an air purification
scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's
output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a
localized
area, such as a city. In such region, human output
may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is
an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will
be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The
actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us
little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur
naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has

detectable
health effects at 0. 08 parts per million

(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0. 1 ppm
and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

these
" in the second paragraph refers to ____.

A.

the various chemical reactions.

C.
the pollutants from the developing Earth

the components in biogeochemical cycles.
Question 64.

useful if ___
_____.
A.
the other substances in the area are known
B.
it can be calculated quickly
.
C.
it is in a localized area
D.

considerably
