Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both
popularity and production with more than 5 million 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 plantations, 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 pickeb. 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. 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 36: Why does the author include statistics on the amount of tea produced, sold and
consumed?
A. To show the expense of processing such a large quantity of tea.

B. To explain why coffee is not the most popular beverage worldwide
C. To demonstrate tea’s popularity.
D. To impress the reader with factual sounding information.

A. It is totally done with the assistance of modern agricultural machinery
B. It is no longer done in China
C. The method has remained nearly the same for a long time
D. The method involves trimming the uppermost branches of the plant
Question 38: What does the word “they” in paragraph 2 of the passage refer to?
A. Tea pickers

B. New buds

C. Evergreen plants

D. Tropical regions

Question 39: According to the passage, what is true about the origin of tea drinking?
A. It began during the Shen Nung dynasty
B. It may have begun sometime around 1650
C. It is unknown when tea first became popular

In the last third of the nineteenth century a new housing form was quietly being developed. In
1869 the Stuyvesant, considered New York’s first apartment house, was built on East Eighteenth
Street. The building was financed by the developer Rutherfurd Stuyvesant and designed by
Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect to graduate from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in
Paris. Each man had lived in Paris, and each understood the economic and social potential of this
Parisian housing form. But the Stuyvesant was at best a limited success. In spite of Hunt’s
inviting facade, the living place was awkwardly arranged. Those who could afford them were
quite content to remain in the more sumptuous, single-family homes, leaving the Stuyvesant to
young married couple and bachelors.
The fundamental problem with the Stuyvesant and the other early apartment buildings that
quickly followed, in the late 1870’s and early 1880’s, was that they were confined to the typical
New York building lot. That lot was a rectangular area 25 feet wide by 100 feet deep - a shape
perfectly suited for a row house. The lot could also accommodate a rectangular tenement, though
it could not yield the square, well-lighted, and logically arranged rooms that great apartment
buildings require. But even with the awkward interior configurations of the early apartment
buildings, the idea caught on. It met the needs of a large and growing population that wanted
something better than tenements but could not afford or did not want row houses.
So while the city’s newly emerging social leadership commissioned their mansions, apartment
houses and hotels began to sprout on multiple lots, thus breaking the initial space constraints. In
the closing decades of the nineteenth century, large apartment houses began dotting the
developed portions of New York City, and by the opening decades of the twentieth century,
spacious buildings, such as the Dakota and the Ansonia finally transcended the tight confinement
of row house building lots. From there it was only a small step to building luxury apartment
houses on the newly created Park Avenue, right next to the fashionable Fifth Avenue shopping
area.

Question 43: The new housing form discussed in the passage refers to ________
A. single-family homes
C. row houses

B. apartment buildings
D. hotels

Question 44: Why was the Stuyvesant a limited success?

Question 46: It can be inferred that the majority of people who lived in New York’s first
apartments were ________.

D. young

Question 47: The word “they” in the passage refers to ________.
A. fundamental problems

B. the Stuyvesant

C. modern apartment buildings

D. early apartment buildings

A. Large families needed housing with sufficient space
B. Apartments were preferable to tenements and cheaper than row houses
C. The city officials of “New York wanted housing that was centrally located
D. The shape of early apartments could accommodate a variety of interior designs
