China, the homeland of tea, is the birthplace of tea culture. The tradition of making and drinking tea has been thousands of years. The Chinese tea culture has been famous all over the world. China had tea as early as five to six thousand years ago, and Chinese people started to plant tea two thousand years ago.

Tea is produced in most areas of China from Hainan Island to Shandong Province, from Tibet to Taiwan. There are four major areas in China:

The Jiangnan area

It lies south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The largest number of green tea comes from here. Some black tea is also produced here.

The Jiangbei area

This refers to a large area north of the same river, where the temperature is usually 2℃-3℃ lower than that in the Jiangnan  area.  Green tea is the major variety  ( 品 种 ) there, but Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, which are also parts of this area, produce compressed tea.

The Southwest area

This area covers Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet, producing black, green and compressed teas. Pu’er tea of Yunnan Province enjoys a good sale in China and abroad.

The Lingnan area

This area includes the southern provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan. It produces Wulong tea, which is well known both at home and abroad.

Now the number of tea drinkers in the world is large and is still going up. The habits of tea drinking are different from country to country. In China, tea is often served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at home or in tea houses. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and sandwiches at tea time. In the USA, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.

【解析】

中国是茶的故乡，是茶文化的发祥地。泡茶和饮茶的传统已经有几千年的历史了。本文主要向我们介绍了中国种茶的几个地区。

1.根据“China had tea as early as five to six thousand years ago”可知，中国早在五六千年前就有了茶，所以中国有茶已经有很长时间了。“长的”可用long表示，形容词，用于句中作定语修饰其后的名词time。故填long。

2.根据“There are four major areas in China”可知，中国主要有四个地区产茶。可用表格中的句式“China is the home of tea with four major areas in it.”替换，由于句中已有谓语动词，所以此处使用with表示“包括”的含义。故填with。

3.根据“The largest number of green tea comes from here. Some black tea is also produced here.”可知，这里出产的绿茶最多，也出产一些红茶。“生产”，可用produce表示，动词，本句时态是一般现在时，主语This area表单数，所以用其动词三单形式。故填produces。

4.根据“which are also parts of this area, produce compressed tea.”可知，也是这个地区的一部分，生产压缩茶。分析句子可知，此处构成“as well as”短语，表示“也”。故填well。

5.根据“Pu’er tea of Yunnan Province enjoys a good sale in China and abroad.”可知，云南省的普洱茶在国内外都很畅销。enjoy a good sale可用sell well表示，又因为本句时态是一般现在时，主语是Pu’er tea表单数，所以此处用其动词三单形式。故填sells。

6.根据“It produces Wulong tea, which is well known both at home and abroad.”可知，乌龙茶，在国内外都很有名。well known可用famous表示，形容词，此处用于句中作表语，所以用其形容词原形即可。故填famous。

7.根据“The habits of tea drinking are different from country to country.”即表格中的内容可知，此处表示“习惯”，可用文中原词habits表示，用于句子开头需大写首字母。故填Habits。

8.根据“They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.”可知，中国人喜欢清茶，不加任何东西。此处可用文中原词nothing表示。故填nothing。

9.根据“In England, the late afternoon is ‘tea time’.”可知，在英国，傍晚是“喝茶时间”。此处可用文中原词late。故填late。

10.根据“In the USA, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.”可知，在美国，人们主要在早餐或饭后喝茶。In the USA可用In America替换。故填America。
