【題目】Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a life-long love for theatre.

The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26-funded with 2. 5 million of taxpayers' money-was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.

The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13. 6 million in 2007，up 10 percent on2006，itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost 470 million.

One theatre source criticized the Government's priorities （優(yōu)先考慮的事）in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying ： " I don't know why the Government's wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices. "

There was praise for the Government's plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said ：" I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London. "

Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.

Mr. Burnham said ： " A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it's ‘not for them'. It's time to change this perception. "

Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said ： "The real is-sue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area. "

A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.

B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.

A. many plays are not for young people

B. many young people don't like theatre

【題目】Tea production in Sri Lanka has thrived for decades. The tea gardens in Hatton, Sri Lanka are actually large tea estates. The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one meter apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimeters high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.

Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilograms of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.

Processing tea shoots into our familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its color and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment（發(fā)酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.

【1】The underlined word pruning means .

A. reasonable use of chemicals

B. regular cutting of the plants

C. frequent watering

D. loosening the soil

【2】How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. Six B. Five C. Four D. Three

【3】What does the author imply in the passage?

A. Fermentation is a must to enrich the flavour of black tea.

B. Women pickers are welcomed because they can easily find the twin leaves.

C. Tea production has long been prosperous in Sri Lanka.

D. Tea pickings can be done biweekly.
