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 wine 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, turn 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.
B. that is grown in cooler climates
C. that is not good wine
D. that is grown in warmer climates
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
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
B. how sharp it tastes
C. how bitter it tastes
D. all of the above
B. Two
C. Three
D. Four

week. A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage to freedom for thirty-three trapped miners. They
spent sixty-nine days underground. "Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply," says a doctor at
NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.
But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within
a day or so. The first three were released from the hospital Thursday night.
For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. The thirty-two Chileans
and one Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.
A partial mine collapse (坍塌) on 5th of August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground.
They had to stretch a two-day food supply. For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead.
Later, they received supplies (供给) and a video link lowered through drill holes. That link was how Ariel
Ticona watched his wife give birth to their daughter.
The miners have apparently agreed to share the money they earn from selling their story.
They have already received gifts of money and travel offers. Edison Pena has been invited to the New York
City Marathon and to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. Mr.Pena described how
he ran in the mine tunnels to ease the stress. And he led the miners in singing Elvis songs.
The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos. The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked
about how the experience tested his faith. He said:"I was with God and I was with the devil, they fought me,
but God won. He took me by my best hand, the hand of God."
The last miner up was Luis Urzua. He was the shift leader when his crew became trapped.
Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than twenty-four hours-faster than expected.
The rescue capsule was a half-meter wide and known as the Phoenix.
B. Sixty-nine
C. Thirty-three
D. Thirty-two

D. he was the shift leader
B. People felt surprised to find the miners safe and sound

D. Miners trapped deep underground
in May, and Father"s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for
parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These
two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the
home. More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother"s Day people wear carnations
which have two colors. A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is
dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are
dead visit the cemetery. On these two days families get together to have parties at home, as well as in
restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own
presents. These are valued (珍爱) more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is
important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone
companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
B. Parents give love and care to children.
C. Parents educate children to be good persons.
D. Parents die before children grow up.
B. They make and sell cards.
C. They offer enough room for having family parties.
D. They offer telephones to be used.

of higher learning in the United States was founded in 1636. In 1638 it was named for John
Harvard, its first founder. During the 1640s the college was enlarged although it was short
of money. Meant to be an institution for the education of Puritan ministers (清教牧师),
it grew to be an institution of general education (普通教育), and new and more subjects and
policies (政策) were introduced. In the 18th century, particularly under John Leverett
(1708-24) the number of the students and campus equipment increased while the religious (宗
教的) color decreased. In its early years, the college was largely supported by the English
colony and the New England community as a whole, but support soon came in the form of gifts,
and in 1823 the state money was received for the last time. Under Charles W. Eliot, the
college became a great modern university. Its basic courses improved and enlarged, the
graduate school was set up for those who finished their four-year undergraduate study, and
the law and medical schools were reorganized. Eliot is also famous for his introduction
of the elective system at Harvard. Besides Harvard College, the university includes schools
of divinity (1816), law (1817), arts and science (1872), education (1920), engineering (1935),
reorganization of Lawrence Science School of l847, public administration (1935). Harvard also
has schools of business administration (1908), medical (1782), public health (1922), and dental
health (1941). Radckiffe college for women is connected with Harvard; its students are
taught by Harvard professors and receive diplomas given by Harvard. The university 1ibrary,
among the nation"s finest, houses over 8 million volumes and the Fog Museum of Art is one
of the finest university museums in the world. Harvard is closely connected with a large
number of research institutions as well.
