《2026年水木金卷高考模拟试卷精编英语》

B
On a sunny day in Chengdu, I walk into Proper Tea, a small but welcoming teahouse. I am greeted by the attractive smell of roasted charcoal(木炭) mixed with rich dark chocolate. Finding a decent place to drink tea has taken me a while, but the search was well worth it.
In 1909, the city of Chengdu was home to 454 teahouses spread out among its 516 streets and alleys. However, tea shops are much less popular these days.
In fact, you're more likely to chance upon a stylish coffee shop in some parts of the city. Even in a proper teahouse, customers seem to care more about playing mahjong than about enjoying their cups of tea.
A drink that dates back for millennia, tea has even been discovered in Han Dynasty tombs. It wasn't until the Tang Dynasty that Lu Yu, known as the Sage of Tea(茶圣), penned the first book about the drink, The Classic of Tea(《茶经》).
Although tea faces fierce competition from today's numerous contemporary and imported drinks, some young tea lovers in Chengdu are attempting to revive China's traditional tea-drinking culture. Proper Tea is among those leading this effort. I order a rock oolong, a charcoal-roasted oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains. Co-owner Wu Qiong serves me my brew(沏茶) in the traditional kung fu style, which literally means "making tea with skill". It's a slow tea ceremony aimed at making the most flavorful and enjoyable tea possible.
The teahouse also boasts a virtual community for which co-owner Qiao Jie regularly hosts live tutorials. During these sessions, she spends these sessions educating her viewers on the distinction of tea and the kung fu tea ceremony.
In fact, my visit coincides with one of her live streams. After finishing her video, Qiao invites me and several regulars to sip tea together outside her shop.
Loyal customer Tang tells me that she is drawn to Proper Tea's close community and homey environment. "The owners are friendly and knowledgeable about tea. They've created a clean and cozy space here," says the 20-something.
For the next two hours we have a pleasant conversation about Chinese tea culture. As we wrap up our conversation, I am suddenly reminded of a Chinese idiom, Yi Cha Hui You, which literally means "to make friends through tea".
Sure enough, tea is more than a thirst-drink in China—it is also a social lubricant(润滑剂). I leave the teahouse with a bag of tea and several new friends.
