    正确答案:C
    C事实细节题。题目问的是Luzaich先生创造的防止酒变质的盖子是什么做的。这个题目具有一定的迷惑性,因为全文讲的是防止酒变质的设备,而不是单独的盖子,这个设备的主体原理是充入氩来防止变质,但是盖子的材料却不一样。全文有几处提到,第二段一开始“before sealing it airtight with silicon”,第四段“He experimented with several substances, from neoprene to a visco-elastic polymer (which he dismissed as“too gooey”),before settling on a food-grade silicon.”(他试验了几种材料,从氯丁橡胶到黏性聚合体(他觉得“太黏了”所以没用),最后选定了食品用硅。)因此,做盖子的材料是硅,故选C。

    Riches and Romance From France'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 honour 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(有气
    泡的)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 1850,all French champagne was sweet.
    Now,both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.
    The drink has always been linked with riches,romance and nobleness.Yet the French
    think of it in more ordinary terms.
    They believe it makes daily living easier,less hurried and with fewer problems.
    "All 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.

    The French people believe that drinking wine is a good way to relax.

    One of the villagers thought he would be very clever."If I pour a bottle of water in,instead of?wine,no one will notice it,"he said to himself,"because there will be so much excellent wine in the?barrel that?the water will be lost in it."
    The night of the feast arrived.Everybody gathered in the village square with their bowls and?their glasses for the wine.The tap(塞子)on the barrel was opened,but what came out was pure?water.Everyone in the village had had the same idea.

    A.hold water
    B.hold wine
    C.take the place of wine bottle
    D.empty bottles

    问答题
    Directions:In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  Wine can be made with red grapes or white grapes, and, especially in the case of red wines, a number of medical researchers have reported that a moderate amount of wine has certain health benefits. This may be one of the reasons why the number of people drinking wine has risen over the past years. As new wine shoppers browse the shelves of their local markets, they face a tough decision. Should they buy a wine with a cork or a screw top? And shoppers are not alone in their dilemma. Wineries are also facing tough choices in the best way to seal their products.  The root of the problem lies in “cork taint.” Cork taint refers to a problem with wine that has been sealed with a bad cork. Traditionally, all corks are made from a special oak tree that grows around the Mediterranean. In the process of making the corks and sealing wine bottles, a certain type of mold may start to grow on some corks. Over time, this mold can produce a chemical that makes the wine inside the bottle taste musty. In fact, the human tongue is so sensitive to this particular compound that people can taste it even diluted up to six parts per trillion!  How big is the problem of cork taint? Some experts from the wine industry claim cork taint affects one out of every ten bottles of wine. And as one spokesperson for an American winery says, “No other packaging industry in the world would put up with that kind of failure rate.”  Some wine makers see a possible solution to the problem of cork taint through adopting the tried and true method of sealing bottles with screw tops. However, many wineries are still playing it safe and sticking to corks for two reasons. First, there is the old belief among cork users that small amounts of oxygen are able to penetrate corks. This oxygen, they say, is necessary for the proper aging of fine wines, especially those aged 10 years or more. Screw tops do not allow for any oxygen to get into the bottles after they are sealed.  Another problem arises from the image screw tops have with the public. In most people’s minds, screw tops are only found on cheap, low-quality wines. It will take a lot of effort from wineries to re-educate the public if they want to change the image of screw tops. In addition, there is the problem of losing the romantic, elegant mood produced by the ceremonial popping of the cork. Consumers don’t seem to feel the same thrill when unscrewing a top.  Summary:  The wine industry is facing a dilemma. What is the best way to  1 wine bottles? Many people think that it is only  2 for wine bottles to be sealed with corks. They think that oxygen needs to be able to penetrate the cork. Other experts, however, suggest that wineries change to  3 . Using corks can lead to cork taint, a bad taste in the wine caused by  4 . However, it is unlikely that the public will accept this solution. They will most likely  5 buying wine with corks for the romantic image.

    正确答案:
    1.seal 文章第一段最后两句话提到shoppers are not alone in their dilemma. Wineries are also facing tough choices in the best way to seal their products. 由此可知摘要中应填seal。
    2.proper 文章第一段最后一句说葡萄酒生产商在存封葡萄酒时遇到了难已选择的问题,第二段、第三段介绍了密封葡萄酒的重要性,因此本空应填proper“合适的”。
    3.screw tops 文章提到Some wine makers see a possible solution to the problem of cork taint through adopting the tried and true method of sealing bottles with screw tops.一些专家建议用screw tops来封瓶,因此摘要中应该总结为screw tops。
    4.mold 文章第二段和第四段指出用软木塞在封瓶的过程中,有一些软木塞会发霉,并影响酒的口味。由此可以知bad taste是由mold引起的。
    5.stick to 文章最后一段说明尽管软木塞存在着种种问题,人们还是愿意购买软木塞封瓶的红酒。因此该空应该填stick to。

    A.a metal cone

    B.a thermoelectric cooler

    C.a gas injector

    D.a wine preserver


    正确答案:D
    D事实细节题。Pek Wine Steward在文中多次提到,最开始是第二段开头“The Pek Wine Steward prevents wine from spoiling by injecting argon, an inert gas, into the bottle before sealing it airtight with silicon.”这可以说是对其功效及原理的一个解释——它通过在把酒用硅封盖之前注入惰性气体氩来防止酒变质,而究竟是什么东西还得看下面的论述。后面提到其发明者对市面上酒的保存工具不满意才自己研制出这种器具,第五段又讲到其具体的工作原理,也是为了使酒保鲜。那么大致可以判断是酒保鲜器具。A“金属圆锥体”,第四段提到“the Pek Wine Steward, a metal cone into which a wine bottle is inserted”,但这只是其外形而已;B“热电冷却器”是豪华版Pek Wine Steward包括的一个部分;C选项不符合文意;D是正确答案。

  • 第23题:

    问答题
    Practice 1  The forger’s greatest advantage is that many buyers wait years before opening their fraudulent bottles, if they open them at all. Bill Koch told me that he owns wine that he has no intention of ever drinking. He collects bottles from certain vineyards almost as if they were baseball cards, aiming to complete a set. “I just want a hundred and fifty years of Lafitte on the wall,” he said. He would hesitate before consuming the harder-to-come-by vintages, because to do so would render the set incomplete, and also because the rarest old wines often come not from the best vintages but from the worst. Historically, when good vintages were produced, collectors would lay them down to see how they would age, Koch explained. But when renowned vineyards produced mediocre vintages, people would drink them soon after they were bottled, making the vintage scarce.  The second great advantage for wine forgers is that when collectors do open fraudulent bottles, they often lack the experience and acute sense of taste to know that they have been defrauded. To begin with, even genuine old wines vary enormously from bottle to bottle. “It’s a living organism,” Sotheby’s Serena Sutcliffe told me. “It moves, it changes, it evolves-and once you’re into wines that are 40, 50, 60 years old, even if the bottles are stored side by side in similar conditions, you will get big differences between bottles.”  Studies suggest that the experience of smelling and tasting wine is extremely susceptible to interference from the cognitive parts of the brain. Several years ago, Frédéric Brochet, a Ph. D. student in oenology at the University of Bordeaux, did a study in which he served 57 participants amid range red Bordeaux from a bottle with a label indicating that it was a modest vendee table. A week later, he served the same wine to the same subjects, but this time poured from a bottle indicating that the wine was a grand cru. Whereas the tasters found the wine from the first bottle “simple”, “unbalanced” and “weak”, they found the wine from the second “complex”, “balanced” and “full”. Brochet argues that our “perceptive expectation” arising from the label often governs our experience of a wine, overriding our actual, sensory response to whatever is in the bottle.  Thus there is a bolder kind of forger who actually substitutes one type of wine for another. He often works with genuine bottles bearing genuine labels, obtaining empties from restaurants or antique shops, filling them with another type-or types-of wine, and replacing the cork and the capsule, assuming that the status-conscious buyer will never taste the difference. And, in many cases, this assumption is right. Sutcliffe believes that the vast majority of fake wines are happily enjoyed. Rajat Parr, a prominent wine director who oversees restaurants in Las Vegas, told me that several years ago, some of his customers ordered a bottle of 1982 Pttrus, which can sell in restaurants for as much as 6,000 dollars.

    正确答案: 参考译文
    造假者最大的优势莫过于多数买了假酒的主顾往往要等上好几年才开瓶品尝,有的甚至从不启盖。比尔·考克告诉我说他买了珍品葡萄酒从来就没有想过要品尝。他收藏某一家酒厂的产品,就像是收藏棒球运动员名片,目的是集满一整套才罢休。“我就是想把150年以来拉非特生产的所有葡萄酒一种不落地全部陈列在墙边的架子上,”他说。他会考虑再三才舍得将一瓶得来不易的酒喝掉,一旦喝掉,再凑一套就不容易了。还有一个原因是,古老珍稀的陈葡萄酒是当年生产的质量糟糕的酒,而不是上等酒。从历史上看,优质酒生产出来,收藏家们纷纷买来束之高阁,观察如何变成陈酒;而有名的酒厂生产出质量差强人意的酒则往往装瓶后不久即被喝掉,结果,这种葡萄酒的数量就日渐稀少。考克解释说。
    葡萄酒造假者第二点优势是收藏家一旦真的打开酒瓶,一般情况下他们也往往缺乏经验和敏锐的味觉,无法辨别自己喝的是搀假的酒。不说别的,即使是真酒,每一瓶的口味也各不相同。“酒就像生物一样,”索士比拍卖行的撒里那·苏克里夫告诉我,“不断活动,不断变化,不断演进—一旦酒收藏了40、50、60年,即使收藏条件相同,并排摆放,两瓶酒之间口味也有很大的差别。”
    研究表明,酒的嗅觉、味觉特别容易受到大脑中专司认知的细胞的干扰。波尔多大学酿酒学系博士生福瑞德里克·布卢切做过一个实验,他让57位被试品尝从同一个酒瓶中倒出的品质中等的波尔多红酒,标签上表明是普通餐用葡萄酒。一周之后,他拿出完全一样的红葡萄酒让同样的57位被试品尝。所不同的是,这次酒瓶上注明是用本地特产葡萄制成的红酒。被试喝着第一只瓶子里的酒,发现味道单调、不均衡、清淡,而第二只瓶子里的酒味道丰富,均衡,浓烈。布卢切认为人们看到标签得到的“感觉期待”往往左右人们对酒的评价,要超过人们感官对瓶中物的实际感觉。
    还有的造假者胆子更大,他们认为品牌意识很强的买家永远无法品出不同的酒味,于是用一种酒冒充另一种酒。常见的手法是从酒店或者古玩店买来贴有真标签、装过真酒的瓶子,往里面灌装另一种酒或者将几种酒掺到一起灌进去,然后换一个木塞或者盖子。造假者的这种认识基本没错。苏克里夫相信,假酒绝大部分都这样高高兴兴被喝了下去。拉贾特·巴尔是拉斯维加斯负责监管餐馆的酒类督导,很有名气,他告诉我说几年前一位顾客要了一瓶1982年的佩特鲁司酒,这种酒在餐馆出售,可以卖到每瓶6000美元。
