The ancient Romans drank 47 million gallons of wine every year: a bottle aday for every man, woman, and child in the city. Wine was consumed by both therich and the poor, drunk at every meal. Even slaves were given a weekly amount of 5 quarts each in order to preserve their strength.

Though wine was always popular, the Romans did not plant their own vineyards (葡萄园) until they had taken control of the Italian peninsula in thesecond century AD. Vineyards quickly sprang up all over the Roman countryside and beyond. By the

first century, wine was being imported from Gaul and Iberia(modern day France and Spain) in order to quench Rome’s endless thirst for it.

Transporting wine over such vast distances was a serious challenge. Winecontainers needed to be airtight in order to prevent oxidation (氧化), strong enoughto keep from breaking, and light enough to be carried by hand. It was also important that the container be made out of a material that wouldn’t upset the wine’s flavorand be kept at a cool, stable temperature in order to prevent damage, a majorconcern for wine makers to this day. The Romans used clay and oak to solve theseproblems, creating one of the greatest and most wine-soaked cultures.

The drinking habits of Ancient Rome had an enormous influence on Europeanculture. As they conquered Europe, they not only brought their laws, but also theircustoms, exporting their love of wine throughout their empire. They were the first to plant vineyards in the Rhone Valley and across France. They introduced wineto Germany and Britain, and used their knowledge of wine craft to transform andexpand Spanish vineyards. Th e Roman study of vineyard skills not only improvedthe wine’s quality, but also helped guarantee its survival following the breakdownof Rome and the turmoil (动乱) of the Middle Ages.

24. What does the underlined word “quench” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Limit.

B. Satisfy.

C. Explain.

D. Experience.

25. What do wine makers most care about according to the text?

A. How to distinguish the quality of wine.

B. How to spread the culture of wine.

C. How to choose wine containers.

D. How to preserve wine properly.

26. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?

A. The Romans’ contribution to wine culture.

B. The Romans’ rule of the European continent.

C. The Ro mans’ efforts in building a big empire.

D. The Romans’ remarkable skills in making wine.

27. What can we learn from the text?

A. The Romans produced wine mainly for export.

B. The Romans learnt to preserve wine from the Europeans.

C. The Romans gave slaves wine to make them work harder.

D. The Romans began to plant vineyards when wine first became popular.

Teenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk ofdeveloping ADHD (多动症), a study has concluded.

The research team, from the University of Southern California, tracked 2,600teenagers aged 15 and 16. They asked them how many times they checked theirphones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD. After two years, those who had checked their phones the mostoften were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs ofADHD.

Writing in the JAMA medical journal, the scientists said, “Modern mediadevices immediately inform users when new text messages, social media postings, or videogame play invitations arrive. Exposure to such information may drawattention away from important tasks. Frequent distraction could interrupt thedevelopment of constant attention and organization skills.”

They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact. Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD and televisions. “What’s new is that previous studies on thistopic were done many years ago, when social media, mobile phones, tablets andmobile apps didn’t exist. We can say with confidence that teens who are exposedto higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHDsymptoms in the future,” he said.

Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how newmobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk forchildren. And the findings serve as a warning.

British scientists welcomed the findings. But Professor Andy Przybylski of theOxford Inte rnet Institute said, “The study relies on survey responses provided bythe students in question. It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the childrensimilarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with eitheractual behav ior or higher quality survey items.”

28. How did the researchers conduct the study?

A. By monitoring 2,600 teenagers with ADHD.

B. By tracking the participants for two years.

C. By analyzing data from previous researches online.

D. By co ntrolling different teens’ time spent on social media.

29. What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media?

A. It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms.

B. It will create higher ADHD risks.

C. It will weaken teenagers’ confidence.

D. It will have a major influence on organization skills.

30. What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study?

A. It provides a better understanding of the media.

B. It should have focused on parents’ responses.

C. Its findings are not reliable enough.

D. It’s a breakthrough in this field.

31. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. The use of digital media is on the rise

B. Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHD

C. Heavy use of social media may increase ADHD risks

D. Teens’ exposure to m odern media calls more attention

D

Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier thantheir gasoline-powered cousins.

People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions vehicles”, but people inCalifornia seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fireto make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get ourelectricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something—usually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms andgeothermal (地热)plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.

In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s justbecause the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the CaliforniaGreens are covering their eyes—“ If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.” Gasoline is anincredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But whenyou take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice partof that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmissionlines, etc.

A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from

that gallonof gas won’t get you as far — so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-poweredones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, thenan electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, wedon’t use much of those energy sources.

In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventuallyend up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread acrossall the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is verygood at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all thegarbage is in one spot.

32. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Electric cars are far from being clean.

B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.

C. People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.

D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.

33. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run.

A. no less than 25 miles

B. as far as 50 miles

C. less than 25 miles

D. as far as 25 miles

34. According to the text, electric cars.

A. are more environmentally friendly

B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones

C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated

D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill

35. It can be inferred from the text that.

A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication

B. electric cars are the dominant vehicles compared with their gas-poweredcousins

C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment

D. electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something
