21．（6分）The ancient Romans drank 47 million gallons of wine every year: a bottle aday for every man, woman, and child in the city. Wine was consumed by both therich and the poor, drunk at every meal. Even slaves were given a weekly amount of 5 quarts each in order to preserve their strength.
Though wine was always popular, the Romans did not plant their own vineyards (葡萄园) until they had taken control of the Italian peninsula in thesecond century AD．Vineyards quickly sprang up all over the Roman countryside and beyond. By the first century, wine was being imported from Gaul and Iberia(modern day France and Spain) in order to quench Rome’s endless thirst for it.
Transporting wine over such vast distances was a serious challenge. Winecontainers needed to be airtight in order to prevent oxidation (氧化), strong enoughto keep from breaking, and light enough to be carried by hand. It was also important that the container be made out of a material that wouldn’t upset the wine’s flavorand be kept at a cool, stable temperature in order to prevent damage, a majorconcern for wine makers to this day. The Romans used clay and oak to solve theseproblems, creating one of the greatest and most wine-soaked cultures.
The drinking habits of Ancient Rome had an enormous influence on Europeanculture. As they conquered Europe, they not only brought their laws, but also theircustoms, exporting their love of wine throughout their empire. They were the first to plant vineyards in the Rhone Valley and across France. They introduced wineto Germany and Britain, and used their knowledge of wine craft to transform andexpand
Spanish vineyards. The Roman study of vineyard skills not only improvedthe wine’s quality, but also helped guarantee its survival following the breakdownof Rome and the turmoil (动乱) of the Middle Ages.
1、What does the unde rlined word “quench” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Limit. B．Satisfy.
C．Explain. D．Experience.
2、What do wine makers most care about according to the text?
A．How to distinguish the quality of wine.
B．How to spread the culture of wine.
C．How to choose wine containers.
D．How to preserve wine properly.
3、What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A．The Romans’ contribution to wine culture.
B．The Romans’ rule of the European continent.
C．The Romans’ efforts in building a big empire.
D．The Romans’ remarkable skills i n making wine.
4、What can we learn from the text?
A．The Romans produced wine mainly for export.
B．The Romans learnt to preserve wine from the Europeans.
C．The Romans gave slaves wine to make them work harder.
D．The Romans began to plant vineyards when wine first became popular.
22．（8分）With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives, it is only a matter of time before someone invents “smart” shoes—ones that can be made based on personal needs. Called “ShiftWear”, the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen, and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coel.
The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app. Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD pattern by famous artists or creating one themselves. The company’s founders imagine a marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others. Despite being electronic, the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight. What’s even cooler is that by switching on a backlight, users can even show off their designs in the dark!
According to Coel, the sneakers will keep their charge “forever” if only images are
displayed. Though they will need periodic recharging, active users have nothing to worry about. That’s because the shoes are equipped with special walk-n-charge technology that powers the shoes—with every step. Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires.
The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevler fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear. Even better? They are completely waterproof (not let water through) and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash! The company predicts that the shoes will range the price from $150 to $1000 depending on the size of the E-panels where the designs are displayed.
This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined. Lithuania-based iShuh Technology has come up with a similar concept that connects e-reader panels to a smart phone app via the Bluetooth. Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive.
1、What can we know about the smart shoes from the text?
A．The electronic designs can not be seen clearly at night.
B．The designers make sure every pair of sneakers are unique.
C．The bottom of the shoes can last longer due to special materials.
D．The shoes have to be washed by hand to protect the electronics.
2、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．How the sneakers are charged.
B．How the sneakers can work well.
C．What images the sneakers show.
D．What technology the sneakers carry.
3、The varied prices of the sneakers mainly depend on ________.
A．the length of the shoes
B．the size of their e-panels
C．the designers of the shoes
D．the materials of their bottoms
4、How does the author feel about the sneakers’ future market?
A．Negative. B．Anxious.
C．Uncertain. D．Confident.
23．（8分）Cigarette butts (烟蒂) are everywhere - clogging up our streets, littering
our beaches - and for decades they’ve been thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey-based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette butts and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to take items that people normally consider impossible to recycle, and then use science to figure out a way to do just that.
Despite the increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging over the past 20 years, global sales of cigarettes increased by 4 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette butts are ending up as trash, which can surely pollute the surrounding environment.
So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.
They now have more than 3,000 cigarette recycling bins in nine countries around the world. They’re also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 40 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in. landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to fund the process. And so far, it’s working.
“We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terra Cycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”
1、Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．It is impossible for the filters to be recycled.
B．Terra Cycle has achieved a lot in recycling what used to be considered “unrecyclable”.
C．Anti-smoking ads and messaging have led to people’s quitting smoking.
D．Mobile phones can’t be recycled by means of the latest research.
2、What can we learn about the approach to recycling cigarette butts? A．Unbelievable and costly.
B．Excellent but hard to carry out.
C．Useless in dealing with other household waste.
D．Practical and environmentally friendly
3、The underlined word ‘“trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means . A．mineral B．fertilizer
C．rubbish D．poison
4、In Albe Zakes’s opinion, .
A．TerraCycle has successfully recycled everything.
B．they still have a long way to go.
C．it will be too difficult for them to find new ways.
D．the public should be aware of the environmental pollution.
24．（8分）When my sister Mertie told me she had put out tomato plants last summer, I was quite impressed.
Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.
Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”
“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.
“Well there’s your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 days…you just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.”
With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.
Thinking about my sister’s gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didn’t know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer--neither did I--but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later.
It makes me wonder how many of us have “Big Boy” dreams in our hearts, yet we
just don’t realize that they are of the “Big Boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass. Frustrated, we see other people’s dreams coming true, and we wonder why ours haven’t yet been achieved.
1、What is not mentioned in the passage when growing tomato plants?
A．Using suitable fertilizer. B．Keeping them well apart.
C．Watering them regularly. D．Controlling pests on them.
2、Why did Mertie’s tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?
A．Because they were destroyed by her neighbors.
B．Because she grew the wrong kind of tomatoes.
C．Because she didn’t manage the garden well.
D．Because they required more time to produce.
3、What does the author compare tomatoes to in the text?
A．Goals. B．Experiences.
C．Time. D．Imagination.
4、What does the text intend to show us?
A．It’s better late than never.
B．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
C．Success sometimes needs a little patience.
D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
25．（10分）Humans have uniquely expressive faces. We laugh, we cry, we turn red with feeling. Now, scientists report that blue-and-yellow macaws(金刚鹦鹉) may join us in this club of emotions – at least,when it comes to blushing.
Parrots are known for being clever and chatty. They ' re even skilled enough to make their own tools and occasionally nose their way into human machines like cars. Their curiosity and courage are what make them excellent pets. So it ' s no surprise that they have their own range of communication tools. On the whole, birds are no strangers to blushing. Many different kinds of birds have been known to exhibit this hehavior. Parrot owners often notice it in their pets. The motivations behind it are still a mystery to scientists , though.
To zero in on why macaw faces blush,some scientists led by Aline Bertin of the
University of Tours studied five captive blue-and-yellow macaws as they interacted with each other and their human caretakers. They were amazed to see that human attention seemed to make the macaws blush. The blushing died down when the caretakers ignored the parrots.
Facial expressions can be signs of a human ' s emotional state. Likewise, bird blushing could convey well-being. It' s not quite as obvious as smiling. Still, it ' s fairly impressive. After all, these macaws don' t have the same facial muscles that we do. The birds are much smarter and kinder than they look. They are believed to be as intelligent as monkeys.
Bertin and the other scientists believe their work opens the door to further research. One limitation of the study is that no macaws in natural environment have been observed. That makes it hard to draw conclusions about the birds as a species. They are also not quite sure what the blushing means. There is still more to learn about these possible expressions of emotion.
1、Which of the following best explains" captive" in paragraph 3 ?
A．Unique. B．Talkative.
C．Curious. D．Caged.
2、Birds might blush_____________.
A．when people ignore them . B．to show they are happy.
C．to show they are hungry . D．when something upsets them.
3、What is TRUE about scientists ' reaction to macaws blushing?
A．They are puzzled by how birds can communicate with one another.
B．They are motivated to continue studying how macaws express emotion.
C．They are curious about why other birds are unable to convey emotion.
D．They are interested to study monkeys to see if they blush as strongly.
4、What is the main idea of the text?
A．Parrots make excellent pets.
B．Parrots are skilled to make tools.
C．The macaws can communicate with each other.
D．The macaws can go red in the face with feeling.
