This summer, the students in our class were required to give a presentation(演示活动)on traditional Chinese culture in English. As a girl who is very interested in Chinese tea culture, I immediately suggested it as the topic for my group.My team members reached an agreement because we considered this topic easy to win the competition and I was chosen as the group leader.

When I was told that the best team in my grade would have the chance to act at our school's Foreign Language Festival, the strong wish to shine at the festival pushed me to work harder.To improve the quality of the presentation, I added some special art forms.Also, as the leader of the whole team, I had to plan everything and, as instructed, keep it to five minutes.I did what I could to organize our presentation.

While I was preparing for the presentation,  I learned much more about Chinese tea culture. I came to realise that my understanding of it was not enough."Tea culture, with its special magic and long history, lights the way for us modem people to return to nature and find inner(内心的) peace."

As the presentation ended, I found that it was the magic of tea culture,  not the presentation itself, that truly attracted me.Through this event, I understood that Chinese tea culture is more than a topic, but a symbol of the ancient stories waiting for us to further explore.By exploring the tradition, I ended up finding a sense of inner peace.

解析：选C。1. 第 1 题：细节理解题 答案：C 解析：题干询问 “作者的展示主题是什么”，属于直接细节题，需定位原文关键信息。根据第一段第二句 “As a girl who is very interested in Chinese tea culture, I immediately suggested it as the topic for my group”（作为对中国茶文化感兴趣的女生，我提议以此为小组主题），“it” 指代前文的 “Chinese tea culture”，明确主题为中国茶文化。A 选项 “团队合作”、B 选项 “展示技巧”、D 选项 “古老故事” 均未作为展示主题，故排除。

2.2.Why did the writer work harder for the presentation?

A To be the leader of the whole team.

B To keep the presentation to five minutes.

C To add some special art forms to the presentation.

解析：选D。第 2 题：细节理解题 答案：D 解析：题干询问 “作者为何更努力筹备展示”，需查找因果关系类细节。根据第二段第一句 “the strong wish to shine at the festival pushed me to work harder”（想要在节日中大放异彩的强烈愿望促使我更努力），其中 “the festival” 指代前文的 “school's Foreign Language Festival”（学校外语节）。A 选项 “成为组长” 是结果而非原因；B 选项 “控制时长 5 分钟” 是筹备要求，并非努力的动机；C 选项 “加入特殊艺术形式” 是努力的具体行动，而非原因，故排除 A、B、C。

Tea culture... lights the way for us modern people to return to nature and find inner peace”（我意识到自己认知不足…… 茶文化指引现代人回归自然、寻找内心平静）。A 选项 “认知深刻” 与原文 “认知不足” 矛盾；C 选项 “现代人不喜欢回归自然” 原文未提及，无依据；D 选项 “筹备不足” 混淆概念，原文是 “对茶文化认知不足” 而非 “筹备不足”，故排除 A、C、D。
