Riches and Romance From France's Wine HarvestSEPTEMBER is harvest time. And with bunches of grapes swinging(摇摆) in the wind, the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.The yearly wine festival is held in honour of Bacchus, the Romangod 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 theplace where sparkling (有气泡的)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 1850, all French champagne was sweet. Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.The drink has always been linked with riches, romance and nobleness. Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms.They believe it makes daily living easier, less hurried and with fewer problems."All 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.1 All French people celebrate the grape harvest every September.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 In the yearly wine festival,people always enjoy themselves.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 Wine-making in France has a history of over 2, 500 years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 Many varieties of wine produced in France are named after places.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Different regions in France produce different types of wine.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 French wine will taste sour(酸的)in the future.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 The French people believe that drinking wine is a good way to relax.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第三部分:概括大意与完成句子阅读下面这篇短文,短文后有2项测试,任务:(1)1-4题要求从所给的4个选项中为段每段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)第5-8题要求从所给的5个选项中选择4个正确选项,分别完成每个句子。
Hurricanes (龙卷风)1. Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, female names were given because of the unpredictability (不可预知的) factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist (性别歧视的) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.2. Hurricanes and typhoons (台风) are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind." And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning "great wind." To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of milesin diameter.3. Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝结)from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (赤道). To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions.4. Scientists have determined that the heat given out in theprocess of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that wedon't know how to make such great energy work for us.5. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race along at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several days. It can be maddening (发疯的) if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.6. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.23 Paragraph 124 Paragraph 225 Paragraph 326 Paragraph 4A A Short History of Naming HurricanesB Harnessing the Hurricane EnergyC Difficulty in Forecasting the Course of a HurricaneD Huge Energy Stored in a HurricaneE Forecasting a Hurricane Through Satellite WatchingF Different Names for the Same Things27 Both male and female names are used for hurricanes in consideration of .28 Using weather satellites can ensureof hurricanes.29 Energy specialists may be interested inof hurricanes.30 Scientists cannot accurately predict the course of a hurricane due to .A the timely (及时的) discoveryB convenienceC sex equalityD its connection with humans,E the huge powerF its uncertainly第四部分:阅读理解。
