21、 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. The 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.

A. The Romans’ contribution to wine culture.
B. The Romans’ rule of the European continent.
C. The Romans’ efforts in building a big empire.
D. The Romans’ remarkable skills in making wine.
【4】What can we learn from the text?

23、Sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) are common in western Australia, where they normally live in wooded areas. But as forests have been cut down, cockatoos have gotten used to living near people. Scientists report that people in Sydney, Australia are in a battle with these birds.
Last year, scientists at the Max Planck Institute reported that the cockatoos had learned how to open the covers of trash bins. That’s not an easy job. The cockatoos must lift the heavy cover with their beaks (喙) and then walk along, pushing the cover up until it falls over.
When scientists first began studying the cockatoos in 2018, only three areas near Sydney had cover-opening cockatoos. A year and a half later, cockatoos in 44 different areas knew the trick. This time the scientists weren’t just studying cockatoos. They were also studying humans.
The scientists spent weeks studying more than 3,200 trash bins in four different areas of Sydney. They wanted to see how many bins were protected and what methods were used.
In one area, over half the bins were protected. The most common way of protecting the bins was to put a brick or some other heavy objects on the cover. Some people put things like rubber snakes on the top of their bins. The scientists discovered that the humans were teaching each other tricks, too. In most neighborhoods, many people used the same cockatoo-stopping methods as their neighbors.
The researchers say it’s like a race between humans and cockatoos to learn new ways of doing things. Now many cockatoos have learned how to push heavy items off the bins. As a result, humans have figured out ways to attach the items to the top of their bins. The scientists describe the situation as a “human-wildlife conflict”. They expect these conflicts will become more common as humans take over more areas that used to be wild.
【1】What can we infer about the cockatoos from the text?
A.They like copying humans’ behavior.
B.They are newly found in Australia.
C.They don’t like living with people.
D.They are very clever birds.
【2】What did the scientists want to know in paragraph 4?
A.How the cockatoos learned the trick.
B.Why the birds in more areas did the trick.
C.How humans responded to the birds’ trick.
D.Why humans taught the birds to do the trick.
【3】What did the researchers find about cockatoos in their research?
A.They wanted their habitat back.
B.They intended to make humans angry.
C.They could adopt new ways to open bins.
D.They disliked looking for food themselves.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.A battle over trash bins between cockatoos and humans
B.A human-wildlife conflict all over Australia
C.A problem caused by cockatoos to humans
D.A big problem of “homeless” cockatoos
24、 Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 to $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspaper were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper” — a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper, perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchases a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny — usually two or three cents was charged — and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
【1】Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A.Academic. B.Unattractive.
C.Inexpensive D.Indifferent.
【2】What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A.They would be priced higher. B.They would disappear from cities.
C.They could have more readers. D.They could regain public trust.
【3】Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A.Local politicians. B.Common people.
C.Young publishers. D.Rich businessmen.
