IV. Reading Comprehension (18%)
(A)
Nobody has to be an expert to appreciate wine. Anyhow, a certain number of suggestions will help you to get the best out of it: Look at the wine; Smell at the wine; Taste the wine; Discuss the wine.
Look at the wine
First, we get pleasure from admiring wine in our glass: let us note the colors, how it catches the light. Passionate wine lovers judge the color of a wine by placing it in front of a white cloth to see if it is dark or
pale.
Smell the wine
You must not hesitate to hip your nose deeply in a glass of wine. Of course if your neighbor is smoking or wearing a strong perfume, if your plate gives off a strong smell, it is a waste of time trying. Smelling a wine is preparing oneself to taste it really well.
Taste the wine
Always with small, careful sips. With each one you discover, through the reaction of your tongue, a new strength, a new shade of its bouquet. Take a sip of wine, pinch your lips, and make the wine travel in your mouth. Different parts of the tongue will give you different reactions: sweetness is given by the end, acidity by the sides and bitterness by the back. By making the wine travel in your mouth for a few seconds, you give your brain time to analyze the information it receives: sweet, acid, bitter.
Discuss wine
As human beings, we like to speak of things which surprise us. So after tasting the wine, everyone of us will have something to say. To have a discussion about it together with your close friends at a peaceful night. Quite enjoyable, isn’t it?
But never forget: He who makes himself drunk does not know how to drink or eat.
65. How many suggestions are given in this passage to help you to appreciate wine?
A. three
B. four
C. five
D. six
66. According to the writer, what should we use in judging the color of the wine?
A. glass
B. light
C. white cloth
D. tongue
67. The _____ of your tongue will tell you the wine tastes very bitter.
A. end
B. middle
C. sides
D. back
68. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. It is no use trying to smell the wine when someone else smoking beside you.
B. Smelling the wine has nothing to do with tasting the wine.
C. Different parts of the tongue will give you different information about the
wine.
D. Discussion is needful after tasting the wine.

“The pen is more powerful than the sword.” There have been many writers who use their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.
She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but also had been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race.
The civil war was the American civil war of 1861, in which the Northern states fought the Southern states and finally won.
This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom’s Cabin. There was a time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child had read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting if only to show how a warmhearted writer can arouse people’s sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern states nor seen a slave. The southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent the true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it, and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to let the slaves free.
