    Riches and Romance From Frante’S Wine Harvest
     September is harvest time.And with bunches of grapes swinging(搖擺)in the wind,the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.
     The yearly wine festival is held in honor of Bacchus,the Roman god of wine.It’s a fun time with parties,music,dancing,big meals and,of course,lots of wine.
     French wine-making began more than 2,500 years ago.The world’s oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine.Today France produces one-fifth of the world’s wine,and some of the most famous varieties.
     The top wine-producing areas are Bordeaux,Burgundy and the Loire Valley.Champagne,a drink used in celebrations,is named after the place where sparkling(有汽泡的)wine was first produced in 1700.
     Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes.It is the sugars that turn into alcohol.
    Traditionally, people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice.Nowadays,this practice is usually carried out by machines.
     Each wine producing region has its own character,based on its type of grapes and soil.
     The taste of wine changes with time.Until 1 850, a11 French champagne was sweet.Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.
     The drink has always been 1inked with riches,romance and nobleness.Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms.
     They believe it makes daily living easier,1ess hurried and with fewer problems.
     “A11 its links are with times when people are at their best;with relaxation,happiness,long
    slow meals and the free flow of ideas,”wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson.
    16 All French people celebrate the grape harvest every September.
     A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
    17 In the yearly wine festival,people always enjoy themselves.
     A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
    18 Wine—making in France has a history of over 2,500 years.

    19 Many varieties of wine produced in France are named after places.

    Ford
    1 Ford’s great strength was the manufacturing process--not invention.Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines.He started putting cars together in 1 891 Although it was by no means the first popular automobile,the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market.
    2 The company’s assembly line alone threw America’s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速運轉(zhuǎn)).Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford’s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland,organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line.By the time Ford’s Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作響)along in 1914,the world’s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.
    3 The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5一a—day minimum wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made.The average wage in the auto industry then was $2.34 for a 9-hour shift.Ford not only doubled that,he also took an hour off the workday.In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn’t involve all awful lot of training or education.The Wall Street Journal called the plan“an economic crime”,and critics everywhere laughed at Ford.
    4 But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford’s dream to make the automobile accessible(可及的)to a11.The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn’t matter---except for making it possible for more people to buy Cars.

     下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道題,每道題后面有4個選項。請根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容,從每題所給的4個選項中選擇1個答案,。涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
    第一篇
    Preserving Nature for Future
     Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar
    needs are felt in the rest of Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe,of which 21 countries are members,have shown that 45 per cent of reptile(爬行動物)species and 24 per cent of
    butterflies(蝴蝶)are in danger Of dying out.
     European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr.Peter Baum,an expert in the environment
    and natural resources division of the council,when he spoke at a conference arranged by也e
    administrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma(證書)for nature reserves(自然保護區(qū))of me highest quality, and Dr.Baum
    had come to present it to the park once again.He was afraid that public opinion was turning
    against national parks,and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today.
    But Dr.Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed
    To be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.
     “No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist
    attraction。”he went on.The short.sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human
    demands for outdoor recreation(戶外娛樂)should be replaced by full acceptance of their
    importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
     “We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems,on which any built-up area ultimately
    depends.”Dr.Baum went on.“We could manage without most industrial products,but we could
    not manage without nature.However, our natural environment areas,which are the original parts
    of our countryside,have shrunk(縮小)to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted
    1andmass.”
    31 Recent studies by the Council of Europe have indicated that
     A Britain is the only country where wildlife needs more protection.
     B all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out.
     C there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere
     D many species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting.
    32 Why did Dr.Baum come to a British national park?
     A Because he needed to present it with a council’s diploma.
     B Because he was concerned about its management.
     C Because it was the only national park of its kind in Europe.
     D Because it had never before received a diploma from the Council
    33 The last sentence in the second paragraph implies that
     A people should create more natural environment areas
     B people would go on protecting national parks.
     C certain areas of countryside should be preserved.
    D people should defend the right to live in a peaceful environment.
    34 In Dr.Baum’s opinion.the view that a nature reserve should serve as a tourist attraction is
     A idealistic.
     B revolutionary.
     C short—sighted.
     D traditional.
    35 Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
     A We have developed industry at the expense of countryside.
     B We have forgotten what our original countryside looked like.
     C People living On islands should protect natural resources for their survival.
     D We should destroy all the built·up areas.
    第二篇
    Home Heating
     Central heating became popular only after the Civil War. Typically, coal—burning furnaces
    (火爐)fueled the early systems.Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960.Its
    acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses.Because it comes primarily from U.S.a(chǎn)nd
    Canadian fields,natural gas is also less vulnerable(脆弱的)than oil is to War.Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas.such as New England.
     Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest.It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding
    electric heating to new houses built with air.conditioning.Bottled gas.which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas,is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines.Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties.
     Home heating,which accounts for less than 7 percent of a11 energy consumed in the U.S.,
    has had a commendable(值得贊揚的)efficiency record:from 1978 to 1997,the amount of fuel
    consumed for this purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percent increase in the number of
    housing units and an increase in house size.The U.S.Department of Energy。however, forecasts
    mat energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percent over the next two decades.That rise is small considering an expected 2 1 percent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses.
     Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades.Solar(太陽的)heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter
    sunlight in most areas;in 2000 only 47.000 homes relied on it.
    36 Natural gas didn’t become the leading fuel until
     A 1978.
     B 1960.
     C 1997. ’
     D 2000.
    37 What fuel is the dominant fuel in New England?
     A Gas.
     B Electricity.
     C Wood.
    D Oil.
    38 The word “consumed’’ in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
     A used.
     B burned.
     C delivered.
    D pumped.
    39 According to-paragraph 3,energy consumed in home heating over the next two decades
     will increase by
     A 33 percent.
     B 31 percent.
     C 21 percent.
    D 14 percent.
    40 Which of the following statements is NOT true,according to the article?
     A Natural gas comes partly from Canadian fields.
     B Bottled gas is more expensive than utility gas.
     C Equipment for home heating has been considerably improved.
     D Solar heating dominated America in 2000.
    第三篇
    Sleepless at Night
     It was a normal summer night.Humidity(濕氣)hung in the thick air.
     I couldn’t go to sleep,partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day.My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
     Sweat stuck to my aching body.Finally, gathered enough strength to sit up.I looked out of my small window into the night.There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light.
     I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore,SO I did what I always do to make myself feel better.I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste.I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow.Back and forth,up and down.
     Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement,some life.Gladiator, my cat, frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出)his sad song.He was on t11e old orange couch(長沙發(fā)),sitting up on his front legs,waiting for something to happen.He looked at me as if to say I“I’m lonely, pet me.I need a good hug(緊抱).”Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
     In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch.This couch represented my parents’marriage,my birth,and hundreds of other little events.
     As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily.My mind was flooded with questions:What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body,I had a new thought;each touch sang a different song.
     I forgot all about the heat and the next day’s surprise.The atmosphere was SO full of warmth and silence that I sank into its alms.Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms,I felt all my worries slowly move away.
    1 The author of the passage could not go to sleep partly because
    A it was too cold.
    B it was too dry.
    C he had a cold.
    D he had a fever
    2 What was the weather like that night?
    A It was chilly.
    B It was windy.
    C It was fine.
    D It was cloudy.
    3 The author brushed his teeth over and over
    A to relieve himself of the pressure.
    B to ease his toothache.
    C to shake off the cold.
    D to remove the dirt.
    4 Gladiator was the name of
    A a movie.
    B a pet.
    C a couch.
    D a song.
    5 What did the “couch” represent?
    A A new thought.
    B Different songs.
    C A comfortable life.
    D Happy memories.

    The Joy of Living Alone
    More and more Americans are living alone.Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner.——(46)According to a recent U.S.census(人口普查),25 percent of all households in the U.S.a(chǎn)re made up of just one person.This is a dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago.
    The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely.——(47)The majority of these people have chosen to live alone.They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
     It’s now socially acceptable,even fashionable,to live alone.As people get better jobs and become financially independent,it becomes possible for them to maintain a one.Person household.——(48)However, people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often.
     The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it.“Living alone is a luxury,”says Nina Hagiwara, “Once you do it,you can’t ever go back to living with others.’’David C’Debaca, agrees. (49)
     Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please.
    (50)The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a
    chance more and more Americans are taking.
    A There’s more pressure to get married nowadays
    B The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
    C However, even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.
    D It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream

    Migrant(移民的)Workers
    In the past twenty years,there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from
    one country to another.While some countries have restricted most (51)to local
    people,others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers.This is particularly the case in the Middle East, (52)increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in
    outsiders to improve local facilities.Thus the Middle East has attracted oil.workers
    (53)the U.S.A.a(chǎn)nd Europe.It has brought in workers from many countries,
    (54) South Korea and Japan.
    In view of the difficult living and working (55)in the Middle East,it is not
    surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers.Many engineers and technicians call (56)at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they Can in their own
    country, and this is a major (57).
     Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating(補償?shù)?advantage.For example,the
    (58)living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to
     (59)on each other for safety and comfort.In a similar way, many migrant workers
    Can save large sums of money partly because of the (60)of entertainment facilities.
    The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely (61) I greater
    challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.
     One major problem which (62) migrant workers in the Middle East is that their
    jobs are temporary ones.They are nearly always on (63),so it is not easy for them
    to plan ahead with great confidence.This is to be (64) since no country welcomes a
    large number of foreign workers as permanent residents.In any (65),migrant workers accept this disadvantage,along with others,because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.

    35.A 該題問的是:下面四個陳述句中哪一個可以從最后一段中推出?有兩句話特別明顯:我們沒有大部分的工業(yè)產(chǎn)品還是可以生存的, 但是如果沒有自然我們則不可能生存。然而,原來屬于我們農(nóng)村一部分的自然環(huán)境區(qū)域已經(jīng)縮小成受到破壞的、高度污染的地塊中的孤島。不難看出,工業(yè)的發(fā)展是以犧牲農(nóng)村為代價的。
    36.B 該題問的是:天然氣到什么時候才變成主要的燃料?第一段中的第三句話是這么說的:天然氣到1960年已經(jīng)變成了主要的燃料。因此B是正確的答案。
    37.D 該題問的是:在新英格蘭什么燃料是最主要的?第一段的最后一句話是這么說的:在少數(shù)地區(qū),如新英格蘭,石油仍然是最主要的燃料。
    38.A 該題問的是:第三段中的“consumed”,下面哪一個詞替換它最為合適? “consumed”是“用掉”的意思。選擇是“used”(用掉)?!癰urned”是“燒掉”, “delivcro‘l”是“傳送”,“pumped”是“用泵抽”。
    39.D該題問的是:根據(jù)第三段,在今后20年里用于家庭供暖的能源將增加多少?第三段有這么一句話:然而,美國能源部預(yù)測,在今后20年里用于家庭供暖的能源將增加40%。

    41.C 該題問的是:該文的作者不能入睡的部分原因是什么?第二段的第一個句子是這么說的:我不能入睡,部分原因是感冒,部分原因是對第二天的期待。 ’
    42.C 該題問的是:那天的天氣怎么樣?第一段的第一句是這么說的:這是一個普通的夏季里的夜晚。第三段的最后一句話說的是:一個巨大的明媚的月亮懸掛在天空,發(fā)出妖艷的光芒??梢姡翘焯鞖夂芎?。
    43.A 該題問的是:作者不斷地刷牙是為什么?第四段的第一句話是這么說的:我再也受不住這種壓力了。于是我就去做我經(jīng)常做的事,使得感覺好些。下面就談到了刷牙。

    第5部分:補全短文
    46.C 第一段的第一句講的是:越來越多的人過著單身的生活。第二句是講過單身生活的原因。C也是一種過單身生活的原因。因此填入c是連貫的。
    47.E 第二段的第一句講的是:一個典型的過單身生活的人既非年長,也非孤獨。這是主題句。主題句后面應(yīng)是具體r的說明。E是具體的說明,因而是正確的答案。
    48.B B是合適的選擇,因為上一句是這么說的:隨著人們能找到更好的工作,經(jīng)濟上變得更加獨立,他們就越有可能保持住單人的家庭。
    49.F 上一句是Nina Hagiwara說的話,David C'Debaca表示同意。下面是他說的話,因而F是合適的選擇。
    50.D 最后一段的第一句是這么說的:兒童認為,長大意味著想干什么就干什么。D說的是:似乎今天許多大人正在實現(xiàn)這種童年時的夢想。
    第6部分:憲形填空
    51.B 文章的第一句說的是:在過去的20年里有著一種不斷上升的趨勢,即工人從一個國家移動到另一個國家。工人從一個國家移動到另一個國家當然是為了找工作。因此下面這句話中填“jobs”(工作)是合適的?!癱ases”是“個案”的意思,“activities”是“活動”,“uses”是“使用”。
    52.D 前面的句子是這么講的:在中東尤其如此。這是一個地點狀語從句,在四個選項中只有“where”能引起地點狀語從句。其他的選項填入后,生成的都是錯誤的句子。
    53.A “來自于”哪個國家,英文用“from”。
    54.C 很顯然, 整個句子的意思是:中東引進了包括韓國和日本在內(nèi)的許多國家的工人。因此“including”(包括)是正確的答案。
    55.B 所在的句子的意思是:考慮到中東的艱苦的生活和工作條件,用高工資吸引合適的工人也就不奇怪了?!皸l件”英語用“conditions”?!皉ole”是“作用”,“difficulty”是“困難”,“event”是“事件”。這些選項跟句子內(nèi)容不相關(guān)。
    56.A 第二段的第二句(接55中提到的那個句子)的意思是:許多工程師和技術(shù)員在中東掙的工資至少是在他們自己國家的兩倍,這是一個主要的吸引力。可見“earn” (掙)是合適的選擇。
    57。D 56中的后一個小句中提到了“吸引力”?!拔Α庇⒄Z用“attraction”。
    58.C 第三段的第一個句子是這么說的:有時候,不利的地方也可以從有利的地方中得到補償。這是個主題句。接著應(yīng)是舉例說明。后半個句子說的是:當工人們不得不為了安全和舒服相互依賴時就帶來了友誼的增深。這是一種得到補償?shù)挠欣臇|西,那么前半句空格中應(yīng)填入的最合適的詞顯然是“difficult”(困難)?!皀ecessary”是“必須的”,“normal”是“正常的”,“good”是“好的”。這些選項填入后,句子前半部分表達的不是不利的地方,而是有利的地方,跟主題旬不能構(gòu)成連貫的語段。
    59.A 58中已經(jīng)說到了“相互依賴”?!跋嗷ヒ蕾嚒庇⒄Z用“depend on”。
    60.B 所在句子是對主題句的進一步說明。該旬的意思是:同樣地,由于缺乏娛樂的設(shè)施,許多遷移來的工人可以積蓄大量的錢。這也是一種補償?!叭狈Α庇⒄Z用“l(fā)ack”。
    61.A 所在句子的意思是:工作往往是復(fù)雜的,問題很多,但是,這充其量是對工程師提出了挑戰(zhàn),而工程師們倒是愿意解決問題,而不愿意在自己的國家做一般性的工作。 “對……提出挑戰(zhàn)”用“presents”。
    62.B 最后一段的第一句話的意思是:影響來中東的工人的一個主要問題是,他們的工作是臨時性的?!癮ffects”是“影響”的意思。
    63.c 62中談到的句子是最后一段的主題句。接著應(yīng)該是說明。所在的句子就是說明。意思是:他們差不多總是訂合同的,因而不大可能很有信心地超前安排?!昂贤庇⒄Z用“contract”。
    64.D 所在句子是對上一個句子(63中的句子)的解釋。因此用“expected”是正確的。全句的意思是:這些是在預(yù)計之中的, 因為沒有一個國家會歡迎許多外國工人成為他們的永久居民?!皊uggested”是“表明”,“建議”的意思,“reported”是“報道”, “indicated”是“表明”。 、
    65.D 文章的最后一個句子表明,遷移來的工人顯得很無奈。整個句子的意思是:不管怎么樣,遷移來的工人只能接受這種以及其他方面的不利之處,因為他們得到的經(jīng)濟方面的好處還是很多的。“不管怎么樣”,英文用“in any case”。
