months before that at a huge rally in Detroit.As with most of his speeches,both had been well received,but neither had been regarded as momentous.This speech had to be different.While King was by now

wine,however everyone can do it,even the less experienced,following some easy precautions.There are no differences between how to taste a red wine or how to taste a white wine.In both cases it is a question of carrying out a sensory analysis that involves sight,smell and taste and,of course,interpreting what your senses(2)___ with your own personal experiences,memories and emotions.The appearanceOf all the sensory systems,the visual one is certainly the most complex.Just think that the optic nerve contains a million receptors compared to the acoustic one which contains only 30,000.Visual evaluation begins by observing the wine as it is poured into the glass.The glass should be brought to eye level to evaluate color,transparency and(3)___ .The best way to do this is to tilt(倾斜)the glass against a white background to bring out the color tone.By rotating the glass so that the wine spreads on the walls of the glass,you will observe the arches,also known as 'tears' or 'legs':(4)___ of the viscosity(粘稠度)of the wine and the alcohol content.The smaller the arches and the more viscous the wine is on the walls,the greater the structure and the alcohol content.On the noseThe sense of smell is never(5)___ ,unlike what happens to other sense organs,such as vision.For this reason,the moment in which the wine is smelt in a sensory analysis is very important and requires particular(6)___ .The olfactory(connected with the sense of smell)stimuli reach the right hemisphere of our brain,the one in charge of creativity and emotions.The sense of smell has direct connections with the part of the brain which oversees our intimate and emotional life,and can(7)___ brain activity by influencing our actions much more than we realize.The wine should be smelt when the glass is still,inhaling deeply and quickly and then moving the glass away.Before sniffing again,it is good to swirl the glass in order to release the volatile(易挥发的)substances.The perceived odors are generally grouped into six large families:floral,fruity,vegetable,spicy,different biochemicals.We also try to perceive its intensity and complexity.On the palateThe time has come to taste the wine and understand how to evaluate the wine in the mouth,using the sense of taste.Taste has similar(8)___ mechanisms as the sense of smell,one that operates on molecules dispersed in the air and the other on compounds dissolved or otherwise conveyed by a liquid(9)___ .Both smell and taste reach the areas older than the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层).The wine must be tasted in small quantities and held in the mouth to allow the taste buds(10)___ on the tongue and on the palate to be able to perceive its flavor (there are four flavors that we can recognize with descriptors:sweet,salty,sour and bitter)and the consistency or body.31.(填空题,15分)The March on Washington for Jobs and FreedomThe March on Washington brought together many different civil rights groups,labor unions,and(1)___ organizations,including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,the American Federation of Labor,and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.(2)___ ,not all civil rights

The steam-powered printing press was still in its infancy;the literacy rate in England was under 50%.And novels,for the most part,were looked upon as silly,immoral,toxic or just plain bad. "No species of composition has been so much decried," wrote one lady of the time,Jane Austen,in Northanger Abbey,a satirical novel that criticizes a sensitive young woman who reads too many gothic novels.In 1870,when Dickens died,the world mourned him as its first literary celebrity:a career writer and publisher,famous and beloved,who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters were held up as moral touchstones.Today Dickens' greatness is unchallenged.Expelling him from the pantheon(名流)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top?It's partly that Dickens' writing attracted audiences from all walks of life.It's partly that his career rode a wave of social,political and scientific progress.But it's also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center.As the 200th anniversary of his birthday approaches,it is possible - and enlightening for our own culture - to understand how he made himself a lasting one.Dickens got into novel writing by accident.As a young man,he longed to be an actor andtrained to be a reporter.In 1836 he accepted a magazine commission to write a series of comic sketches to accompany a set of illustrations of sporting life.The result,The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club,was a sensation.It established Dickens as a peerless ventriloquist(腹语者),able to channel the voices of both celebrities and servants,and as a gifted writer of serials,which became the standard method of publication in an era when books were expensive but cheap periodicals thrived.Most important in terms of his legacy,The Pickwick Papers established him as a financially viable(可存活的)artist,bridging the gap between creativity and commerce.From Pickwick to his deathbed,he wrote for an audience,and he wrote for money - two forces that before his time had had little to do with art. "He invented that form of publicity,an intimacy with his mass readership," says Nicholas Dames,a Victorian scholar. "And he invented merchandising."(Think of A Christmas Carol,which he timed for the holidays.)"All those things that we associate with publishing culture - he was essentially the first." And Dickens knew it.He called himself the Inimitable,a nickname that stuck.(1)Which of the following statements is true of British novels in the 18th century? ___A.They were mostly written by female amateur writers.B.About only half of the Britons had ever read novels.C.They were unpopular partly for technological reasons.D.Most novels were poorly received except satirical ones.(2)Dickens is compared with the "Mona Lisa" in the text to stress ___ .A.the impressive characters he createdB.his great importance in British literatureC.his success in gaining a wide readershipD.the readers' love and admiration for him(3)What's the author's purpose in writing the passage? ___A.To praise Charles Dickens' literary contributions to British literature.B.To introduce Charles Dickens' life experience and his achievements.C.To analyze the growth of novel writing in the UK in the 18th century.D.To explore Charles Dickens' path to becoming a great writer in history.(4)In the author's opinion,Dickens' uniqueness can be best explained by the fact that ___ .A.his works could appeal to readers of different social classesB.he took advantage of the social,political and scientific advancesC.he made writing both profitable and touching to the readersD.he explored both British culture and himself in his writing33.(填空题,6分)THE SHAKESPEARE HOUSESThe five Shakespeare Houses in and around Stratford-upon-Avon offer you an authentic experience of the Stratford world in which the famous dramatist was born,lived anddied.Closely connected with William Shakespeare or his immediate family,these original houses are now owned and eared for by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.OPENING TIMESSeptember—May Mon—Sat:10:00 am— 4:00 pm Sunday:10:30 am—4:00 pm June—August Mon—Sat:9:00 am—5:00 pm Sunday:9:30 am—5:00 pmBEST VALUE TICKETSTHE THREE IN-TOWN SHAKESPEARE HOUSESAdult £8.50 Child £4.20 Family £20.00ALL FIVE SHAKESPEARE HOUSESAdult £12.00 Child £6.00 Family £29.00CHILDREN AND STUDENTS TICKETSUnder 5:FreeBetween 5&16:Child rate 17 and over:Adult rate17 and over and in secondary education:Family ticketGROUP VISITSGroups of 20 or more visitors qualify for a 10% discount on ticket prices.For more information telephone 01789 201806 or 201836.SPECIAL VISITSThe Houses are open out of hours by special arrangement.They offer a unique setting for functions,dinners,receptions and other events.For more information telephone 01789 201808.

"Food addiction is not universally recognized by medical professionals,but there are individual practitioners who believe that it is a concept that has utility," says Chevese Turner from the National Eating Disorder Association.Although you can find programs that treat food addiction,trying to get treatment for food addiction could be dangerous because the treatment plan could encourage disordered eating.And to be honest,the "symptoms" of food addiction,according to Food Addicts Anonymous,are a little questionable.Their website asks:"Have you tried different diets or weight loss programs,but none has worked permanently?Do you avoid social interactions because you feel you do not look good enough or do not have the proper fitting clothes?"Many people could answer yes to these questions. "People who have drafted themselves into the anti-fat-person army feel comfortable and justified in judging fat people's food choices," activist Ragen Chastain wrote in her blog. "Whether they are disgracing us for eating something that they don't think we should be eating,or congratulating us for eating something of which they approve,fat people can find ourselves dealing with all kinds of inappropriate interactionsinvolving food."Other symptoms listed by Food Addicts Anonymous sound more legitimate:"Have you found yourself vomiting,using laxatives(泻药)or exercising a lot to avoid a weight gain after you have eaten a lot?" This kind of symptom certainly points to disordered eating,if not food addiction.Perhaps the closest recognized condition to food addiction is binge eating disorder (BED).But BED and food addiction are not the same thing. "Food addiction is defined as causing a preoccupation with foods that provide intense pleasure and dopamine increases like drugs,alcohol,shopping,gambling," Turner says. "While people with BED may feast on highly tasty foods,bingeing is only one part of the behaviors associated with the disorderand,therefore,treatment is complex."Often,people who binge also engage in restrictive behaviors like overexercising and fasting,Turner says people who have BED also tend to have depression,anxiety or other mood disorders.While treatment for food addiction typically calls for avoiding white flour,sugar,and other so-called "addictive" foods,treatment for BED is more involved.BED treatment tries to address underlying issues,including painful experiences and mental health,as well as decrease the urge to binge and restrict food.In treatment for food addiction,restriction typically goes unaddressed.While eating disorder experts agree that some foods are engineered to be as tasty and addictive as possible,many worry that the concept of food addiction could be more harmful than helpful.(1)The researchers' disagreement lies in ___ .A.whether Lay's potato chips are addictiveB.what the public mean by "addictive"C.whether food addiction is medically acceptedD.how much nutrition addictive foods contain(2)What can be inferred from Ragen Chastain's words? ___A.Plus-size people are actually weak-willed food addicts.B.We live in a culture that shames and bullies fat people.C.People in good shape are justified to criticize fat people.D.People of a certain size must interact with food cautiously.(3)The underlined phrase "preoccupation with" is closest in meaning to ___ .A.symptom concerningB.satisfaction fromC.interaction withD.obsession with(4)Why does the treatment for food addiction cause people's concern? ___A.Its neglect of the addicts' restrictive behavior causes harm.B.This treatment is more involved than the treatment for BED.C.The experts underestimate such issues as traumatic experiences.D.The treatment excludes foods engineered to be tasty and addictive.35.(填空题,8分)feet of water,derived from the measurement of a mark combined with "twain",meaning "two." Mark twain is considered the lowest depth for safe water travel. (1)___ The rope is usually twenty-five fathoms long and is marked in increments oftwo,three,five,seven,ten,fifteen,seventeen and twenty fathoms.The process of measuring the water is called "sounding," which was overseen by a leadsman who measures and "sounds out" the depth to the other crew members responsible for sailing or operating the boat in open water.The leadsman would usually stand on a platform,called "the chains" which projected from the ship over the water and "sound" from there.A typical sound would be expressed as "By the mark 7," or whatever the depth was.In modern English language,it is interesting to note that the expression "deep six" refers to this old method of measuring water.In Life on the Mississippi,Twain describes sounding: "(2)___ But in winter the cold and the peril take most of the fun out of it."Today,the mark is measured by sonar equipment,but in Mark Twain's day,it was the common method of ensuring that a boat could safely navigate a body of water without becoming stranded on a sandbar,which were plentiful in the Mississippi River. (3)___Mark Twain is also significant in the literary world as it is the pen name of Samuel Clemens,the author.Legend has it that Twain actually "lifted" the pseudonym from his supervising captain,who often contributed articles to local papers.Regardless of how Mark Twain,the writer,devised the name,it has become synonymous with tales of。
