一、阅读理解（共4题）
1、 If you know how to study a glass of wine, it can tell you about its history. Studying a wine involves using several senses, not just taste.
First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it. Color can tell a lot about the kind of grapes where the wine is from and its age. Look at the clarity, thickness and color of the wine.
A white wane might be almost colorless, or it could have a deep golden color. White wines go darker with age. White wine made from grapes grown in a cool climate is often paler, with a higher amount of acid (酸). A white wine from grapes grown in a warmer climate is often yellower, with less acid, though there are exceptions to this rule.
The color of red wine can be purplish red to brick red. Red wines often become paler with age Red wines grown in warmer climates often have deeper color than those grown in cooler climates.
Next, tum the glass so that the wine moves around inside. This brings air into the wine, so that it releases its smell. Smell the wine deeply. A wine’s smell is actually more telling than its taste To use a wine term, what can you learn about the wine from its “nose” Is the wine fruity Does it smell like oak Do you smell grass or maybe honey Maybe the. smell is like butter or a mineral. It may be complex or intense.
Now it is time to taste the wine. Move it around in your mouth. You may recognize some tastes because you identify them while smelling the wine. You can also consider the wine’s sweetness and its sharpness, or acidity. You may note the taste of tannin. Tannins are chemicals that are found in the skin and seeds of grapes. They are also found in tea. Tannins taste bitter and seem to coat your mouth. To make a good wine requires a balance between sugar, acidity, tannin and alcohol.
Many wine experts can identify the kind of wine without ever seeing the label on the bottle.This is because they know the qualities of the look, smell and taste of a wine.
1. According to the passage, a red wine with a lighter color might be the wine_______.
A. that has a lower amount of acid. B. that is grown in cooler climates.
C. that is not good wine D. that is grown in warmer climates.

A. can know whether the wine tastes good or not. B. can know whether the wine is made from grapes.
C. can know whether the wine has a long or short history. D. can know whether the wine has a good color.
3. Paragraph 5 suggests the followings except that______.
A. wine can have different kinds of smells.
B. A wine’s smell can’t give any meaningful information about the wine
C. You can’t smell the wine properly if you don’t turn the glass.
D. A wine might not smell like wine.
4. In tasting wine, one needs to pay attention to______.
A. how sweet it tastes. B. how sharp it tastes.
C. how bitter it tastes. D. all of the above.
5. How many senses ate involved in studying a glass of wine according to the passage

2、 As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video,and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Getting material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.
Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs (郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “ and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.
Liz, However, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all”
1. What do the first two paragraphs tell us
A. People seldom work long hours to make money.
B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.
C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.
D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.
2. When Daniel was a reporter he________.
A. lived in central London B. disliked his job
C. missed his children D. was well paid
3. Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm________.
A. was easy to organize B. has improved family life
C. was extremely expensive D. has been a total success
4. The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means______.
A. repairing your car by yourself
B. spending money carefully
C. moving out to the countryside. to live a simpler and better life
D. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week
3、 A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say” “You don’t say” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an proper topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall By the way, have you ever been there ” “Certainly,everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was stopped again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it ” “Well,I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’ ” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘you don’t say” actually means ‘really’! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know how foolish I had been. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
1. At first, on hearing “You don’t say”, I thought the foreigner meant______.
A. He was not interested in the topic

五、书面表达
1、 One possible version: Dear Mark, I know from your e-mail that you are learning Chinese this semester and ask me for some advice. Here are my suggestions. First, you should listen carefully to your teacher in class and practice as often as possible after class because mastering a language requires a lot of practice. Second, I’d like to recommend you to read some Chinese story books, which helps you enlarge your vocabulary and understand the different meanings of the words. Third, I think it is a good idea to communicate with Chinese native speakers. Last but not least, watching Chinese movies and listening to Chinese songs are good ways to learn idiomatic Chinese.
I will be appreciated if my advice could be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
