Riches and Romance From Frante’S Wine Harvest

September 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 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(有汽泡旳)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．

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 (高速运转)．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(嗡嗡作响)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(可及旳)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．

25 Paragraph 3
26 Paragraph 4

A Ford’s Opponents

A criticized by the media

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题背面有4个选项。请根据文章旳内容，从每题所给旳4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，。涂在答题卡对应旳位置上。
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(爬行动物)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(证书)for nature reserves(自然保护区)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(户外娱乐)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(缩小)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
(火炉)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．and
Canadian fields，natural gas is also less vulnerable(脆弱旳)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(值得赞扬旳)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(太阳旳)heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter
sunlight in most areas；in 2023 only 47.000 homes relied on it．

36 Natural gas didn’t become the leading fuel until
A 1978．
B 1960．
C 1997． ’
D 2023．

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 2023．
第三篇
Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night．Humidity(湿气)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(长沙发)，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(紧抱)．”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．

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．
