中国是世界上种茶最早、制茶最精、饮茶最多的国家，是茶的故乡。 最初，茶只是被作为一种药材而非饮品。【T1】 后来，古人逐渐将茶从药材中分离出来成为一种清热的饮料。 (定语从句)在那之后，中国的茶文化逐渐形成。 【T2】 据史料记载，西汉时期已经有了饮茶的习俗。 (it is recorded that)到了魏晋南北朝时期，饮茶的习俗已经成为上层人物中的一种时尚。【T3】 唐代，可以说是中国茶文化的成熟时期，饮茶的风气极为盛行。 (prevail)人们不仅讲究茶叶的产地和采制，还讲究饮茶的器具和方法，在饮茶的方法上日益翻新。【T4】 宋代，茶的种植、贸易也依然有增无减，并且制茶技术也有了明显的进步。 (on the increase)明清时期，日常生活中人们饮茶的习惯已经与现在无大差别。 【T5】 中国很早以前就把茶种以及种茶的技术传播到了外国。 (spread to)唐代，茶叶传到了日本，后来出现了举世闻名的日本茶道。大约17世纪初，茶叶流传到西欧，也成为欧洲人民喜爱的饮料之一。

Today I'd like to talk about what helps people successfully integrate into a new culture. Whereas the reasons for migration are nowadays fairly easy to identify and largely related to【D1】______ or political instability, the factors behind being able to【D2】______the new culture and create a new life are【D3】______more complex. Let's start with an overview of the issues as shown on this diagram. Starting on the left, there are two lists of factors: internal and external. It's important notice that the internal factors, in other words those based on an individual's【D4】______, are divided into positive factors—trusting others and acknowledging people are different, and negative factors—being afraid and being 【D5】______people. Now, you should also notice that external factors are not labeled in this way. It's much more difficult to know how to【D6】______of external factors and whether they actually are external or not. The influence of family relationships, climate,【D7】______ , and the ability to communicate in the language of the new culture have wide-ranging effects which are difficult to measure and can【D8】______any research. Now focus on the center of the diagram, and you'll see this phrase: "Coping strategies. " This is important because studies have shown that people, who integrate well into a new culture, are those who have eradicated any negativity, and【D9】______, and adopted coping strategies such as observing people, and taking time to listen and ask questions in order to diminish the effects of【D10】______.

【B1】____The major reason is loss of habitat, which has continued despite the establishment of 14 panda reserves. Deforestation, mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains, has drastically contracted the mammal's range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas. 【B2】____ Almost half of the panda's habitat has been cut down or degraded since 1975. Worse, the surviving panda population has also become fragmented: a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda "islands" in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas. Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two. 【B3】____The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out. The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding. 【B4】____The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherwise sedentary populations. In panda islands, however, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic(灾难性的)because the pandas are unable to emigrate. The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by China's Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda habitats and ensuring that populations are linked wherever possible. This plan will change some existing reserve boundaries , establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation. 【B5】____Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials. Questions 61 to 65Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 61—65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. The plan is ambitious.B. The giant panda, the creature that has become a symbol of conservation, is facing extinction.C. Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation.D. In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas—the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food—can become literally species-threatening.E. The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists.F. Panda is one of the rarest animals in China.G. It's impossible to achieve this goal.
