(3)The largest of these forts was Fort Jefferson, which was begun in 1846 This fort was built on Garden Key, one of a cluster of small coral islands 70 miles west of Key West At the time of its construction Fort Jefferson was believed to be of primary strategic importance to the United States because of its location at the entryway to the Gulf of Mexico Because of its location at the entrance to a great body of water, it became known as the Gibraltar of the Gulf, in reference to the island located at the mouth of the Mediterranean The fort itself was a massive structure It was hexagonal in shape, with 8-foot-thick walls, and was surrounded by a medieval-style moat for added security Covering most of the Garden Key, it was approximately half a mile in circumference
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, during the Civil War and its aftermath, the fort was used as a prison rather than a military installation The most notorious of its prisoners was Dr Samuel Mudd, a physician who was the most probably innocently involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln The actual assassin, John Wilkes Booth, broke his leg as he left from the stage of the Ford Theater during the assassination Dr Mudd set Booth’s broken leg, unaware of Booth’s involvement in the assassination As a result of this action, Dr Mudd was sentenced to life in prison and remanded to Fort Jefferson He was pardoned after only four years because of his courageous efforts in combating an epidemic of yellow fever that ravaged the fort
Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s, although the U.S Navy continued with sporadic use of it into the twentieth century Today, the massive ruins still remain on the tiny island that stands guard over the entrance to the gulf, undisturbed except for the occasional sightseer who ventures out from the coast to visit

Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both popularity and production with more than million metric tons of tea produced annually Although much of this tea is consumed in Asian, European, and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the U.S population on any given day Black tea or green tea – iced, spiced, or instant – tea drinking has spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout Asia
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in tropical regions On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new buds called flush appear, they are plucked off by hand Even in today’s world of modern agricultural machinery, hand harvesting continues to be the preferred method Ideally, only the top two leaves and a bud should be picked This new growth produces the highest quality tea
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to 20 hours During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp Next, depending on the type of tea being produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled conditions of heat and humidity For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green color, and the fermentation process is skipped Producing black teas requires fermentation during which the tea leaves begin to darken After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or black color
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was discovered in 2737 B.C by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his drinking water as it was boiling over a fire As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting liquid and proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing Though this account cannot be documented, it is thought that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia, then to Europe, and ultimately to America colonies around 1650
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and therefore easier on the stomach Others have become interested in tea drinking since the National Cancer Institute published its findings on the antioxidant properties of tea But whether tea is enjoyed for its perceived health benefits, its flavor, or as a social drink, teacups continue to be filled daily with the world’s most popular beverage
Question 45: Why does the author include statistics on the amount of tea produced, sold, and consumed?
A To demonstrate tea’s popularity
B To show the expense of processing such a large quantity of tea C To explain why coffee is not the most popular beverage worldwide D To impress the reader with factual sounding information
Question 46: Based on the passage, what is implied about tea harvesting? A The method has remained nearly the same for a long time.
B It is totally done with the assistance of modern agricultural machinery. C It is no longer done in China

(5)A Black tea goes through two drying phases during production.
B Black tea develops its dark color during fermentation and final drying. C Green tea requires a long fermentation process.
D Green tea is often steamed to keep its color
Question 49: The word “documented” in paragraph could be best replaced by which of the following word?
A kept B proved C stored D ignored
Question 50: According to the passage, what is true about the origin of tea drinking? A It began during the Shen Nung dynasty

D It was originally produced from Camillia plants in Europe.
Question 51: The word “eliminate” in paragraph could be best replaced by which of the following word?
A increase B reduce C decrease D remove
Question 52: According to the passage, which may be the reason why someone would choose to drink tea instead of coffee?
A Because it’s easier to digest than coffee
B Because it has a higher nutritional content than coffee C Because it helps prevent cancer
D Because it has more caffeine than coffee
