选择性必修第二册　UNIT 2

主题语境：跨文化沟通、包容与合作

Ⅰ．阅读理解

With a few minor exceptions, there are really only two ways to say “tea”in the world．One is like the English term — té in Spanish and tee in Afrikaans are two examples．The other is some variation of cha, like chay in Hindi．

Both forms come from China．How they spread around the world offers a clear picture of how globalisation worked．The words that sound like “cha”spread across land, along the Silk Road．The “tea”­like phrasings spread over water, by Dutch traders bringing the novel leaves back to Europe．

The term cha is Sinitic (汉语语系), meaning it is common to many varieties of Chinese．It began in China and made its way through central Asia, eventually becoming “chay”in Persian．That is no doubt due to the trade routes of the Silk Road, along which, according to a recent discovery, tea was traded over 2，000 years ago．The Japanese and Korean terms for tea are also based on the Chinese cha, though those languages likely adopted the word even before its westward spread into Persia．

But that doesn't account for “tea”．The Chinese character for tea, is pronounced differently by different varieties of Chinese, though it is written the same in them all．But in the Minnan variety of Chinese, spoken in the coastal province of Fujian, the character is pronounced “te”．The key word here is “coastal”．

The “te”form used in coastal­Chinese languages spread to Europe via the Dutch, who became the primary traders of tea between Europe and Asia in the 17th century．The main Dutch ports in east Asia were in Fujian and Taiwan, China．People of both places used the “te”pronunciation．The Dutch East India Company's expansive tea importation into Europe gave us the French “thé”， the German “Tee”， and the English “tea”．

Yet the Dutch were not the first to Asia．That honour belongs to the Portuguese．And the Portuguese traded not through Fujian but Macao, where “chá”is used．That's why Portugal is a pink dot in a sea of blue．

1．Which statement about the term of “cha”is correct according to the passage?

A．It is a variation of té in Spanish．

B．It is used in coastal­Chinese languages．

C．It is based on the Japanese and Korean terms for tea．

D．The spread of the version is an example of globalisation．

2．Who does the “te”form spread to Europe by?

A．The German．　 B．The British．

C．The Dutch．    D．The Portuguese．

3．How does the author mainly develop the text?

A．By giving examples．

B．By rising questions．

C．By drawing conclusions．

D．By presenting research findings．

4．Where is the passage probably from?

A．A guidebook．    B．A novel．

C．A magazine．    D．A book review．
