  Tom Standage urges drinkers to savor the history of their favorite beverages along with the taste.

  The author of A History of the World in 6 Glasses (Walker & Company, June 2005), Standage lauds the libations thathave helped shape our world from the Stone Age to the present day.

  \"The important drinks are still drinks that we enjoy today,\" said Standage, a technology editor at the London-basedmagazine the Economist. \"They are relics (纪念物)of different historical periods still found in our kitchens.\"  Take the six-pack, whose contents first fizzed at the dawn of civilization.  Beer

  The ancient Sumerians, who built advanced city-states in the area of present-day lraq, began fermenting(发酵)beer frombarley at least 6,000 years ago.

  \"When people started agriculture the first crops they produced were barley or wheat. You consume those crops as breadand as beer,\" Standage noted. \"It’s the drink associated with the dawn of civilization. It’s as simple as that.\"  Beer was popular with the masses from the beginning.

  \"Beer would have been something that a common person could have had in the house and made whenever theywanted,\" said Linda Bisson, a microbiologist at the Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California,Davis.

  \"The guys who built the pyramids were paid in beer and bread,\" Standage added. \"It was the defining drink of Egypt andMesopotamia. Everybody drank it. Today it’s the drink of the working man, and it was then as well.\"  Wine

  Wine may be as old or older than beer—though no one can be certain.

  Paleolithic humans probably sampled the first \"wine\" as the juice of naturally fermented wild grapes. But producing andstoring wine proved difficult for early cultures.

  \"To make wine you have to have fresh grapes,\" said Bisson, the UC Davis microbiologist. \"for beer you can just storegrain and add water to process it at any time.\"

  Making wine also demanded pottery that could preserve the precious liquid.

  \"Wine may be easier to make [than beer], but it’s harder to store,\" Bisson added. \"For most ancient cultures it would havebeen hard to catch [fermenting grape juice] as wine on its way to [becoming] vinegar.\"

  Such caveats and the expense of producing wine helped the beverage quickly gain more cachet(威望)than beer. Winewas originally associated with social elites and religious activities.

  Wine snobbery may be nearly as old as wine itself. Greeks and Romans produced many grades of wine for varioussocial classes.

  The quest for quality became an economic engine and later drove cultural expansion.

  \"Once you had regions [like Greece and Rome] that could distinguish themselves as making good stuff, it gave them aneconomic boost,\" Bisson said. \"Beer just wasn’t as special.\"  Spirits

  Hard liquor, particularly brandy and rum, placated (安抚)sailors during the long sea voyages of the Age of Exploration,when European powers plied the seas during the 15th, 16th, and early 17th centuries.

  Rum played a crucial part of the triangular trade between Britain, Africa, and the North American colonies that oncedominated the Atlantic economy.

  Standage also suggests that rum may have been more responsible than tea for the independence movement in Britain’sAmerican colonies.

  \"Distilling molasses for rum was very important to the New England economy,\" he explained. \"When the British tried totax molasses it struck at the heart of the economy. The idea of ’no taxation without representation’ originated with molassesand sugar. Only at the end did it refer to tea.\"

  Great Britain’s longtime superiority at sea may also owe a debt to its navy’s drink of rum-based choice, grog(掺⽔烈酒),which was made a compulsory beverage for sailors in the late 18th century.

  \"They would make grog with rum, water, and lemon or lime juice,\" Standage said. \"This improved the taste but alsoreduced illness and scurvy. Fleet physicians thought that this had doubled the efficiency of the fleet.\"  Coffee

  The story of modern coffee starts in the Arabian Peninsula, where roasted beans were first brewed around A.D. 1000.Sometime around the 15th century, coffee spread throughout the Arab world.

  \"In the Arab world, coffee rose as an alternative to alcohol, and coffeehouses as alternatives to taverns(酒馆)—both ofwhich are banned by Islam,\" Standage said.

  When coffee arrived in Europe it was similarly hailed as an \"anti-alcohol\" that was quite welcome during the Age ofReason in the 18th century.

  \"Just at the point when the Enlightenment is getting going, here’s a drink that sharpens the mind,\" Standage said. \"Thecoffeehouse is the perfect venue(聚会地点)to get together and exchange ideas and information. The French Revolutionstarted in a coffeehouse.\"

  Coffee also fuelled commerce and had strong links to the rituals of business that remain to the present day. Lloyds ofLondon and the London Stock Exchange were both originally coffeehouses.

  Tea

  Tea became a daily drink in China around the third century A.D.

  Standage says tea played a leading role in the expansion of imperial and industrial might in Great Britain manycenturies later. During the 19th century, the East India Company enjoyed a monopoly on tea exports from China.  \"Englishmen around the world could drink tea, whether they were a colonial administrator in India or a Londonbusinessman,\" Standage said. \"The sun never set on the British Empire—which meant that it was always teatimesomewhere.\"

  As the Industrial Revolution of 18th and 19th centuries gained steam, tea provided some of the fuel. Factory workersstayed alert during long, monotonous shifts thanks to welcome tea breaks.

  The beverage also had unintended health benefits for rapidly growing urban areas. \"When you start packing peopletogether in cities it’s helpful to have a water-purification technology like tea,\" which was brewed with boiling water, Standageexplained.  Coca-cola

  In 1886 pharmacist John Stith Pemberton sold about nine Coca-colas a day.

  Today his soft drink is one of the world’s most valuable brands-sold in more countries than the United Nations hasmembers.

  \"It may be the second most widely understood phrase in the world after ’OK’,\" Standage said.

  The drink has become a symbol of the United States—love it or hate it. Standage notes that East Germans quicklyreached for Cokes when the Berlin Wall fell, while Thai Muslims poured it out into the streets to show disdain for the U.S. inthe days leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

  \"Coca-cola encapsulates what happened in the 20th century: the rise of consumer capitalism and the emergence ofAmerica as a superpower,\" Standage said. \"It’s globalization in a bottle.\"

  While Coke may not always produce a smile, a survey by the Economist magazine (Standage’s employer), suggeststhat the soft drink’s presence is a great indicator of happy citizens. When countries were polled for happiness, as defined bya United Nations index, high scores correlated with sales of Coca-Cola.

  \"It’s not because [Coke] makes people happy, but because [its] sales happen in the dynamic free-market economies thattend to produce happy people,\" Standage said.

  1. The passage gives a brief description of the content of a new book, A History of the World in 6 Glasses.  2. The ancient Sumerians began fermenting beer from barley at least 6,000 years ago.  3. Today beer is the drink of the working man, which was not the case before.

  4. Greeks probably sampled the first \"wine\" as the juice of naturally fermented wild grapes.  5. The caveats and the expense of producing wine helped it quickly gain more cachet than beer.

  6. Standage suggests that tea may have been more responsible than rum for the independence movement in Britain’sAmerican colonies.

  7. Coffee is the best drink according to Standage.

  8. Sometime around the 15th century coffee spread throughout ________.  9. During the 19th century, the monopoly on tea exports from China is ________.  10. Coca-Cola has become a symbol of ________.

list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Each choice in bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with asingle line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.  Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

  It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to thecleaners, your credit card when you are shopping...

  Such absent-mindedness may be 47 to you; now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses thatrecord everything the 48 sees.

  The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where theyleft their keys. And the glasses also 49 the user to \"label\" items so that information can be used later on. The wearer couldwalk around an office or a factory identifying certain 50 by pointing at them. Objects indicated are then given a 51 label on ascreen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.

  It could be used in 52 plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians wiring a 53 device.  A spokesman for the project said: \"A car mechanic for 54 could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is sothat it can be identified and repaired. For the motorist the system could 55 accident black spots or dangers on the road.\"  In other cases the glasses could be worn by people going on a guided tour, 56 points of interest or by people looking atpanoramas where all the sites could be identified.  [A] allow  [B] instance  [C] blank  [D] industrial  [E] frustrating  [F] items  [G] indicating  [H] highlight [I] user  [J] complicated  [K] white  [L] annoying  [M] successful  [N] articles  [O] simple  Section B

  Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.  Passage One

  Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

  You’re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Let’s assume you once actually completed acouple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn’t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the formthat your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? Moreand more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnelofficers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, buthe or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.

  Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week.Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, mostcolleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them \"impostors(骗⼦)\"; another refers tothem as \"special cases\". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that theseclaims are made by \"no such people\". To avoid outright(彻底的)lies, some job-seekers claim that they \"attending\" meansbeing dismissed after one semester. It may be that \"being associated with\" a college means that the job-seeker visited hisyounger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back atleast to the turn of the century—that’s when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don’t want to lie or even stretch thetruth, there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma.

  One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number ofnonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from \"Smoot State University\". The pricesincrease rapidly for a degree from the \"University of Purdue\". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana isproperly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.  57. The main idea of this passage is that ________ .  [A] employers are checking more closely on applicants now  [B] lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem  [C] college degrees can now be purchased easily  [D] employers are no longer interested in college degrees

  58. According to the passage, \"special cases\" refers to cases that ________.  [A] students attend a school only part-time

  [B] students never attended a school they listed on their application  [C] students purchase false degrees from commercial firms  [D] students attended a famous school采集者退散  59. We can infer from the passage that ________ .

  [A] performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree  [B] experience is the best teacher

  [C] past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do

  [D] a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition  60. This passage implies that ________ .  [A] buying a false degree is not moral

  [B] personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools

  [C] most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school  [D] society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications

  61. The word \"phony\" (Line 13, Para. 2) means ________ .  [A] thorough [C] false  [B] ultimate [D] decisive Passage Two

  Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

  Material culture refers to what can be seen, held, felt, used—what a culture produces. Examining a culture’s tools andtechnology can tell us about the group’s history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can helpus to understand the music culture. The most vivid body of material culture in it, of course, is musical instruments. We cannothear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so werely on instruments for important information about music cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we havetwo kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as wellas paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over athousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development ofmost of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.

  Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music cultures as those in whichpeople learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and writtensources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend tostandardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notationhas a far-reaching effect on music and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.

  One more important part of music’s material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media—radio,record player, tape recorder, television, and videocassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and otherdevelopments. This is all part of the \"information revolution\revolution was in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected musiccultures all over the globe.

  62. Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because ________ .  [A] it helps produce new cultural tools and technology  [B] it can reflect the development of the nation  [C] it helps understand the nation’s past and present  [D] it can demonstrate the nation’s civilization

  63. It can be learned from this passage that ________ .

  [A] the existence of the symphony was attributed to the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese music  [B] Near Eastern music had an influence on the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra  [C] the development of the symphony shows the mutual influence of Eastern and Western music

  [D] the musical instruments in the symphony orchestra were developed on the basis of Near Eastern music  64. According to the author, music notation is important because ________ .

  [A] it has a great effect on the music culture as more and more people are able to read it  [B] it tends to standardize folk songs when it is used by folk musicians  [C] it is the printed version of standardized folk music

  [D] it encourages people to popularize printed versions of songs

  65. It can be concluded from the passage that the introduction of electronic media into the world of music ________ .  [A] has brought about an information revolution

  [B] has speeded up the appearance of a new generation of computers  [C] has given rise to new forms of music culture

  [D] has led to the transformation of traditional musical instruments  66. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?

  [A] Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers.  [B] Music cannot be passed on to future generations unless it is recorded.  [C] Folk songs cannot be spread far unless they are printed on music sheets.  [D] The development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect.  Part V Cloze (15 minutes)

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

  Today, most countries in the world have canals. Many countries have built canals near the coast, and parallel 67 thecoast. Even in the twentieth century, goods can be moved more cheaply by boat than by any other 68 of transport. These 69make it possible for boats to travel 70 ports along the coast without being 71 to the dangers of the open. Some canals, suchas the Suez and the Panama, save ships weeks of time by making their 72 a thousand miles shorter. Other canals permitboats to reach cities that are not 73 on the coast; still other canals 74 lands where there is too much water, help to 75 fieldswhere there is not enough water, and 76 water power for factories and mills.

It must be deepenough to leave about two feet of water 79 the keel of the largest boat using the canal. When the planet Mars was first 80through a telescope, people saw that the round disk of the planet was crises-crossed by a 81 of strange blue-green lines.These were called \"canals\" 82 they looked the same as canals on earth 83 are viewed from an airplane. However, scientistsare now 84 that the Martian phenomena are really not canals. The photographs 85 from space-ships have helped us to 86the truth about the Martian \"canals\".  67.

  Online Education

  Being online is no longer something strange in our life.

  To some degree, it has become part of our daily life. We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for informationand communicating with friends far and near. But recently another helpful online activity has become very \"in\". That is onlineeducation.

  Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among all the reasons, the quick

development of the internet should be the essential one, which makes our dreams of attending class in the distance possible.Another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology. Today, modern science and technologyare developing at lightening speed. To catch up with the development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study.However, due to the great pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school. Online educationjust comes to their aid.来源:考试⼤

  Personally, I appreciate this new form of education. It’s indeed a helpful complement to the traditional education system.It can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning. Most of all, with online education, we canabsorb the latest knowledge while working.

  Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

  1. Y 本⽂的六个⼩标题正是对书名中“6 Glasess”的具体阐释,由此可知题⼲表述正确。

  2. Y 根据题⼲中的fermenting beer推知答案可能在⼩标题beer下。再根据The ancient Sumerians定位原⽂,从⾸句即可知题⼲表述正确。

  3. N 根据上题的解题思路,继续留意讲Beer的那些段落,在末尾发现...and it was then as well,可知题⼲表述错误。

  4. N 由题⼲中的wine推知答案在同名⼩标题下的段落中。其中第⼆段明确指出最初品尝红酒的是Paleolithic humans,可知题⼲表述错误。

  5. Y 题⼲中既出现了beer⼜出现了wine,两事物的⽐较⼀般在介绍完两事物后给出,本⽂讲出beer再讲wine,故先在标题Wine下的段落寻找答案。定位发现题⼲信息与原⽂相符,是正确的。阅读中要留⼼事物间的⽐较。

  6. N 本题是对tea和rum的⼀种⽐较,rum属于spirits,所以答案在Spirits或Tea标题下的内容中。根据题⼲中的Britain’sAmerican colonies定位原⽂发现Spirits下第三段明确提到Standage also suggests that rum may have been more responsiblethan tea...,可知题⼲表述错误。

  7. NG 根据题⼲中的信息词coffee定位原⽂有关coffee的段落,发现Standage并未做出与题⼲所述相关的评论。  8. the Arab world。根据题⼲中的信息词around the 15th century定位原⽂有关coffee的段落,可找到答案。

  9. the East India Company。根据题⼲中的信息词During the 19th century和China定位原⽂有关tea的段落,可在其下第⼆段末句找到答案。

  10. the United States。根据题⼲中的信息词Coca-Cola和symbol定位原⽂有关Coca-Cola的段落,可在其下第四段⾸句找到答案。
