B
I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came out of the experience with a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.
4. Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A. To get a position. B. To employ more clerks.
C. To arrange an interview. D. To make an advertisement.
5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2?
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Sensitive and successful.
C. Tough and competent. D. Optimistic and agreeable.
6. Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch?
A. Because he hoped to relive college life. B. Because he wanted to influence others.
C. Because he had an engagement. D. Because his investment was not satisfying.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Dare to Take Risks. B. Perseverance Pays Off.
C. Reconsider Your Career Choice. D. Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者用自身经历告诉我们要敢于挑战、敢于冒险。
【4题详解】

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent.

C
Many people have a too rosy view of the beverage and are surprised when confronted with the facts about it on a nutrition label, according to our recent study.
Right now, people usually think of red wine as a “virtue” rather than a “vice”, thanks to popular belief about its health benefits. But requiring nutrition labels, which are currently voluntary, could change those views.
In our experimental research which included nearly 800 participants, we found that American consumers aren’t used to seeing nutrition information on wine labels, and most are surprised by what they read since they don’t associate wine with calories, carbohydrates and sugar. People who were prompted to read labels viewed wine as less healthy than they did beforehand, and they were less likely to buy it.
We also found that people are more surprised by the sugar content of sweeter wines, such as Moscato, than by the number of calories. Sweet wines, in particular, may contain more sugar than consumers realize.
Nutrition labels don’t need to be bad news for the wine industry. Wine sales have recently declined among those aged 60 and younger, and greater transparency in labeling could help rekindle young consumers’ interest. Millennial and Gen Z consumers may especially appreciate clearer labels, since they could help them view wine as less mysterious and more accessible. They may also allow them to fit an occasional glass of wine into their personal health goals.
What’s more, there’s been a recent trend toward wine packaging including labels like “organic” and “sustainable”, which may appeal to consumers’ preference for sustainability. These labels have less to do with nutrition than with manufacturers trying to appear eco-friendly—but makers of natural wine would likely benefit most from offering nutrition information.
And there’s still more to learn about how nutrition labels affect behavior. Studies have shown mixed results, but on the whole, labeling appears to make people cut their calorie intake somewhat. Still, the U. S. put nutrition labels on foods in the 1990s, and that hasn’t stopped the obesity rate from rising.
8. What can be learned from the study?
A. People used to regard wine as a vice.
B. Wine labeling confirms wine as a virtue.
C. Nutrition labels go against the will of the public.
D. Nutrition labels change people’s views on red wine.
9. Who might benefit most from the new trend toward wine packaging?
A. Wine stores. B. The government.
C. Mass customers. D. Natural wine producers.
10. What do Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 mainly focus on?
A. The benefits of wine labeling. B. Policy changes on wine labeling.
C The downside of wine labeling. D. People’s attitudes toward wine labeling.
11. Why does the author mention the U. S. nutrition labels in the last paragraph?
A. To show their positive effect on behavior.
B. To give an example of changes on food labels.
C. To illustrate the serious obesity problem in America.
D. To present their uncertain impact on customers’ behavior.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了葡萄酒添加成分标签这一变化对葡萄酒产业及消费者的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But requiring nutrition labels, which are currently voluntary, could change those views.(但要求食品标注营养成分(目前是自愿的)可能会改变这些观点)”以及第三段“People who were prompted to read labels viewed wine as less healthy than they did beforehand, and they were less likely to buy it.(被提示阅读标签的人认为葡萄酒比之前更不健康,他们购买葡萄酒的可能性也更小)”可知,营养成分标签改变了人们对红酒的看法。故选 D 项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“What’s more, there’s been a recent trend toward wine packaging including labels like “organic” and “sustainable”, which may appeal to consumers’ preference for sustainability. These labels have less to do with nutrition than with manufacturers trying to appear eco-friendly—but makers of natural wine would likely benefit most from offering nutrition information.(此外,最近葡萄酒包装上出现了一种趋势,包括“有机”和“可持续”等标签,这可能会吸引消费者对可持续性的偏好。这些标签与其说与营养有关,不如说是与生产商试图显得环保有关——但天然葡萄酒的生产商可能会从提供营养信息中获益最多)”可知,天然葡萄酒生产商可能会从中获益最多。故选 D项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Nutrition labels don’t need to be bad news for the wine industry.(对葡萄酒行业来说,营养标签不一定是坏消息)”以及第六段“What’s more, there’s been a recent trend toward wine packaging including labels like “organic” and “sustainable”, which may appeal to consumers’ preference for sustainability.(此外,最近葡萄酒包装上出现了一种趋势,包括“有机”和“可持续”等标签,这可能会吸引消费者对可持续性的偏好)”可知,这两段主要介绍的是葡萄酒标签带来的好处。故选 A 项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And there’s still more to learn about how nutrition labels affect behavior. Studies have shown mixed results, but on the whole, labeling appears to make people cut their calorie intake somewhat. Still, the U. S. put nutrition labels on foods in the 1990s, and that hasn’t stopped the obesity rate from rising.(关于营养标签如何影响行为,还有更多需要了解的。研究结果喜忧参半,但总的来说,标签似乎能让人们在一定程度上减少卡路里摄入量。尽管如此,美国在20世纪90年代就在食品上贴上了营养标签,但这并没有阻止肥胖率的上升)”可知,作者在最后一段提到了美国的营养标签是为了说明葡萄酒添加标签的影响仍是不确定的。故选 D 项。

We live in an interruption-based culture that can be damaging to productivity. Most of the time, information from electronic devices only adds to the distraction. Here are some tips to help you increase your focus and complete the things that count:
___12___ Write down what you want to finish each day and identify a single priority that you commit yourself to complete This will help focus your brain on what matters, dealing with the big jobs first and leaving the small ones till later.

Get comfortable. ___14___ Comfort could be determined by the clothes, the chair, the music, the temperature of the room or the work location. Knowing what environment makes you comfortable yet focused at the same time can help you maintain focus through the workday.
Set smaller goals. Big goals may be great for motivational speeches. ___15___ Consider breaking down all goals into smaller pieces that can be finished more easily. As a result, this may only require focus for a shorter period of time, which may mean an increased possibility of completing the task.
Take a walk. ___16___ Taking even a short walk away from work can help relax the body and mind. Meanwhile, it can help you refocus on the next task upon your return.
A. Put first things first.
B. Commit yourself to complete your task.

【答案】12. A 13. E 14. D 15. F 16. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了规避干扰文化影响的五种方法。
【12题详解】
分析设空,位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“Write down what you want to finish each day and identify a single priority that you commit yourself to complete This will help focus your brain on what matters, dealing with the big jobs first and leaving the small ones till later.(写下你每天想要完成的事情,并确定一个你承诺自己要完成的优先事项,这将帮助你的大脑集中在重要的事情上,先处理大的工作,把小的留到以后)”可知,本段介绍了在开始之前先确定每天想要完成的事情的优先级,所以A项“Put first things first.(重要的事情先做)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选A项。
【13题详解】
分析设空,位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Turn off the distractions. Actively checking for information may distract you from work. Consider checking email only four times per day and handling each inquiry only once. Try to control your devices, instead of having that technology control you.(关闭干扰。积极查看信息可能会分散你的工作注意力。考虑每天只查看四次电子邮件,每个问题只处理一次。试着控制你的设备,而不是让技术控制你)”可知,本段谈论的是如何降低干扰,所以E项“This may help reduce distractions and increase your focus.(这可能有助于减少干扰,提高你的注意力)”符合本段主题,是对前文的总结。故选E项。
【14题详解】
根据前文“Get comfortable.(保持舒适)”以及后文“Comfort could be determined by the clothes, the chair, the music, the temperature of the room or the work location. Knowing what environment makes you comfortable yet focused at the same time can help you maintain focus through the workday.(舒适度可以由衣服、椅子、音乐、房间温度或工作地点决定。知道什么样的环境让你感到舒适,同时又能集中注意力,这样可以帮助你在工作日保持专注)”可知,D项“This means something different for different people.(这对不同的人来说意味着不同的东西)”承上启下,且其中的This指代上文的Get comfortable,与下文 Comfort 相呼应。故选D项。
【15题详解】
根据前文“Set smaller goals. Big goals may be great for motivational speeches.(设定小目标。大目标可能对励志演讲很有帮助)”以及后文“Consider breaking down all goals into smaller pieces that can be finished more easily. As a result, this may only require focus for a shorter period of time, which may mean an increased possibility of completing the task.(考虑把所有的目标分解成更容易完成的小目标。因此,这可能只需要在较短的时间内集中注意力,这可能意味着完成任务的可能性增加)”可知,设空处上文谈论了大目标的好处,下文是谈论从大目标向小目标转变,所以F项“However, they don’t help anyone focus on getting important things done.(然而,它们并不能帮助任何人专注于完成重要的事情)”和前文构成转折关系,符合语境。故选F项。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Take a walk.(散个步)”可知,G项“Standing up and getting away from the office can help increase your focus.(站起来离开办公室可以帮助你集中注意力)”是对前文的进一步解释,建议离开办公室去散步,符合本段主题。故选G项。

【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在贫穷家庭里被抚养长大使杰克年轻的时候就成为很勤奋的人。作主语应用动名词形式,且bring up与Jack构成被动关系,故用being done形式。故选D项。

【详解】考查倒装。句意:他们不仅带来了零食和饮料,而且当他们在森林里野餐时,他们还带来了扑克作为娱乐。否定短语not only放在句首,从句要用部分倒装。故选B。
【点睛】部分倒装即只把谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词等)放到主语前,或把句子的强调成分提前。
Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about(疾病没有使他放弃过上梦想中的生活)
1) 以否定词开头的句子要求部分倒装。注意下列句子中助动词或情态动词提前、甚至补充助动词的用法:
例:Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.(小约翰直到昨天才改变了主意。)
In no country other than Britain, it had been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.(据说除了英国世界上没有哪个国家能让人在一天中感受到四季变化)
2) 以否定副词开头并加状语放在句首的句子要求部分倒装。这些否定副词有barely, hardly, little, seldom, scarcely…… when, never, no sooner…… than, rarely, no more, not nearly, not only等以及only。
Only in the country can you learn the “true English”.
3)一些如scarcely……when, no sooner ……than, hardly……when引导的主从复合句主句要求使用过去完成式。
注意:在部分倒装句中,只有助动词、情态动词或连系动词to be可以置于主语之前,其它部分都要置于主语之后。
本题把否定词not only放在了句首,后面使用部分倒装形式。AD项没有部分倒装,C项使用了全部倒装。故B正确。

—In my view, it was not the passengers but the drivers who________for them.
A. were blamed B. were to blame
C. were to be blamed D. was to blame
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和主谓一致。句意:——据报道,2013年10月7日这条高速公路上发生了几起交通事故。——在我看来,这不是乘客的责任,而是司机的责任。be to blame“应受谴责,应负责任”,固定短语,主语是由not...but连接的并列短语,谓语动词与就近的主语保持一致,本句中和drivers保持一致,使用were to blame,故选B。
38. The committee has _______ your suggestion and will have the novel _______ for a film.
A. adapted;adopted B. adopted ;to be adapted
C. adopted ;adapt D. adopted;adapted
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词辨析。句意:委员会已经采纳了你的建议,并且会将这部小说改编成电影。adapt,作及物动词含义为改编,改写;adopt,及物动词含义为收养,采纳。根据句意第一空应填入adopt的过去分词形式adopted,第二空考查have的用法,have sth. done有使某事完成的意思,根据句意空处应用adapt的过去分词adapted。故选D项。
39. Can you tell me how long dinosaurs_____on the earth before they_____?
A. had existed; disappeared B. had existed; were disappeared
C. have existed; disappeared D. have existed; were disappeared
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:你能告诉我恐龙在消失之前在地球上存在了多久吗?分析句子可知,第二空应填一般过去时,表示过去发生的动作,且they(dinosaurs)与disappear为主动关系;第一空应填过去完成时,表“过去的过去”,指动作exist发生在过去动作disappear之前。故选A项。
40. — How about the result?
— Well, it remains ________ whether we’ve got enough support.
A. seen B. to be seen C. seeing D. to see
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意:——结果如何?——嗯,我们是否得到足够的支持还有待观察。空格所在的句子为“it作形式主语,whether引导的主语从句作真正主语”,结合句意可知,此处表示将要发生的动作,且see与主语之间为被动关系,所以此处使用动词不定式的被动形式to be seen。故选B项。
41. The suspect claimed________ TV with his family when the house caught fire.
A. watching B. to be watching C. having watched D. to have watched
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:嫌疑犯声称房子着火时他正在和家人一起看电视。claim to do意思为:声称做某事,空处用不定式作宾语,结合when the house caught fire可知,表示看电视的动作正在进行,应用不定式的进行式。故选B。
42. —Why, Jack, you look so tired!
—Well, I ________ the house and I must finish the work tomorrow.
A. was painting B. will be painting
C. have painted D. have been painting
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:——怎么啦,杰克,你看起来如此疲惫!——噢,我一直都在粉刷房子,并且我明天必须完成。根据句意可知应采用现在完成进行时态,强调动作一直在延续。C项为现在完成时,表示动作已经完成,不符合句意。故选D。
43. The conference was concerned____reforms but everyone present was concerned__their own interests.
A. with;for B. for;with
C. for;about D. about; with
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查concern的相关短语。第一个空考查be concerned with,表示与…相关,第二个空表示关心,在意用be concerned about/for,句意为:这次会议是有关改革的,但是每一个人都关心自己的利益。故选A.
44. The TV set is still under ________ and therefore it will be repaired for free.
A. guarantee B. evolution C. disgrace D. decline
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:这台电视机仍在保修期内,因此可以免费维修。A.guarantee保证;B.evolution演变;C.disgrace耻辱; D.decline下降。根据“therefore it will be repaired for free”可知此处指的是“保修期内”。under guarantee表示“在保修期内”。故选A项。
45. I am a person full of passion for a _______ of things and ________ aspects of my life.
A. vary; various B. varied;variety C. various; vary D. variety;various
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和形容词。句意:我是一个对各种事物和生活的各个方面充满激情的人。第一空为固定短语a variety of意为“各种各样的”,所以使用名词variety;第二空为形容词作定语修饰名词aspects,所以使用名词various。故选D项。
46. ______back in my seat,I can’t quite believe that I’m about_______along the railway_____many foreign experts claimed was “impossible”.
A. Sitting; travelling; that B. Sat; to travel; which
C. Sitting; to travel; that D. Sat; traveling; that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语和定语从句。句意:靠在椅背上,我简直不敢相信我要沿着许多外国专家声称“不可能”的铁路旅行。第一空为非谓语动词,sit与I在逻辑上是主动关系,用现在分词作状语;第二个空为be about to do sth“将要做某事”;第二个空涉及一个限制性定语从句,空处需要填入关系代词,代替先行词the railway,在从句中作主语 ,many foreign experts claimed做插入语,所以填that。故选C项。

54. hugely 55. were invited
56. listening
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了他们去夏威夷度假途中的经历以及到了主人家后受到的礼遇,主人热情招待他们,还在工作之余带他们参加了很多当地的活动。
【47题详解】
考查副词。句意:在我们去那座房子的路上,雨下得如此大以至于我们不能不想还要多久才能到达那里。“so...that...”意为“如此……以至于……”,固定句型。故填so。
【48题详解】
考查固定搭配。本句运用了take...to do sth.,意为“花费……做某事”,故此处应填to get。
【49题详解】
考查介词。“a pack of”意为“一群……”。故填of。
【50题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它们被他们的主人训练地很好,它们的主人在照顾这些动物方面很有经验。先行词为masters(主人),且从句缺主语。故关系词填who。
【51题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意:我们的主人跟我们分享了很多他们的经历并推荐了一些很好的吃饭、购物和参观的地方。“and”前后两个动作“shared”与“recommended”是并列关系,时态一致。故填recommended。
【52题详解】
考查名词。由空格前的不定冠词an与空格后的不定式to watch可以确定空格处应该填名词形式。故填competition。
【53题详解】
考查形容词。空格修饰名词stories,应用形容词形式,tradition的形容词为traditional,故填traditional。
【54题详解】
考查副词。空格处修饰形容词popular,应用副词形式,huge的副词为hugely,故填hugely。
【55题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:我们被邀请去参加一场私人音乐会。由“on the last day of our week-long stay”可知,句子时态为一般过去时,用被动语态。主语为we,故填were invited。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。本句谓语动词为“were invited”,所以空格处动词listen应用非谓语动词形式。听音乐这个动作是由we发出的,所以选用现在分词形式。也可由and前后连接两个并列的结构这一规律解题,and后meeting interesting locals为分词形式,故空格处填listening。

Once upon a time, in a village, a little boy named Bob lived with his mother in their attractive little cottage. They didn’t have much but were content with the little they had. Every day after he came home from school, Bob would accompany his mother to the forest to collect firewood.
One day, when Bob was in the forest collecting wood, he came across a puppy which seemed to be all alone. Bob looked here and there for its owner but in vain. So he picked it up, put it under his shirt and carried it home. Reaching home, he said to her mother, “Mom, I found a little puppy alone in the forest! Can we keep him, please?“ Feeling Bob’s happiness, his mother was in two minds about whether to keep the puppy or not. She told him, ”Oh Bob, that’s the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen! But we don’t have much. What will we do about his food and sleeping arrangement?“ Bob replied, “It’s OK. I’ll give him half of my meals and let him sleep with me in my bed.” Hearing this, Bob’s mother just nodded. Bob’s happiness knew no bounds, and he named the puppy Milo.
From that day onwards, Bob and Milo became the best friends. Milo followed Bob wherever he went. When Bob went to school, Milo would diligently wait outside the classroom till the classes ended. At night, Milo slept next to Bob on his tiny bed and dreamed sweet dreams.
On one particular day, Milo was sick, unable to follow Bob, so he stayed at home. That day it rained heavily, and the roads everywhere turned slippery. On his way home, Bob was trying to reach home as soon as possible as he dreamed of Milo waiting for him and keeping him warm. Unfortunately, Bob missed seeing a hole at the side of the road and fell down the hole!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;

He cried for help, hoping to be heard by passers-by.

Milo’s behavior drew the search party’s attention, and they ran towards the hole.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
He cried for help, hoping to be heard by passers-by. But due to the loud thundering and noise of the heavy rains, no one heard him. It had become very late, and Bob’s mother was worried at home. She called the neighbors, and they formed a search party to find Bob. Milo, too, was worried, and so he joined them all. They searched high and low but still couldn’t find Bob. Milo used his keen sense of smell and went sniffing everywhere. When he came closer to the hole, he picked up Bob’s scents and started barking loudly.
Milo’s behavior drew the search party’s attention, and they ran towards the hole. When they looked into it, they found Bob sitting and shivering in the darkness, wet and cold. Some people comforted Bob gently while others fetched a rope quickly and dropped it down to Bob. He held onto one end and then they pulled him up. Everyone cheered, Milo jumping around happily. Bob’s mother hugged him tightly. Bob thanked everyone for helping him and hugged Milo lovingly for being his best friend and hero.
【解析】

I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came out of the experience with a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.
4. Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A. To get a position. B. To employ more clerks.
C. To arrange an interview. D. To make an advertisement.
5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2?
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Sensitive and successful.
C. Tough and competent. D. Optimistic and agreeable.
6. Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch?
A. Because he hoped to relive college life. B. Because he wanted to influence others.
C. Because he had an engagement. D. Because his investment was not satisfying.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Dare to Take Risks. B. Perseverance Pays Off.
C. Reconsider Your Career Choice. D. Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job.
C
Many people have a too rosy view of the beverage and are surprised when confronted with the facts about it on a nutrition label, according to our recent study.
Right now, people usually think of red wine as a “virtue” rather than a “vice”, thanks to popular belief about its health benefits. But requiring nutrition labels, which are currently voluntary, could change those views.
In our experimental research, which included nearly 800 participants, we found that American consumers aren’t used to seeing nutrition information on wine labels, and most are surprised by what they read since they don’t associate wine with calories, carbohydrates and sugar. People who were prompted to read labels viewed wine as less healthy than they did beforehand, and they were less likely to buy it.
We also found that people are more surprised by the sugar content of sweeter wines, such as Moscato, than by the number of calories. Sweet wines, in particular, may contain more sugar than consumers realize.
Nutrition labels don’t need to be bad news for the wine industry. Wine sales have recently declined among those aged 60 and younger, and greater transparency in labeling could help rekindle young consumers’ interest. Millennial and Gen Z consumers may especially appreciate clearer labels, since they could help them view wine as less mysterious and more accessible. They may also allow them to fit an occasional glass of wine into their personal health goals.
What’s more, there’s been a recent trend toward wine packaging including labels like “organic” and “sustainable”, which may appeal to consumers’ preference for sustainability. These labels have less to do with nutrition than with manufacturers trying to appear eco-friendly—but makers of natural wine would likely benefit most from offering nutrition information.
And there’s still more to learn about how nutrition labels affect behavior. Studies have shown mixed results, but on the whole, labeling appears to make people cut their calorie intake somewhat. Still, the U. S. put nutrition labels on foods in the 1990s, and that hasn’t stopped the obesity rate from rising.
8. What can be learned from the study?
A. People used to regard wine as a vice.
B. Wine labeling confirms wine as a virtue.
C. Nutrition labels go against the will of the public.
D Nutrition labels change people’s views on red wine.
9. Who might benefit most from the new trend toward wine packaging?
A. Wine stores. B. The government.
C. Mass customers. D. Natural wine producers.
10. What do Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 mainly focus on?
A. The benefits of wine labeling. B. Policy changes on wine labeling.
C. The downside of wine labeling. D. People’s attitudes toward wine labeling.
11. Why does the author mention the U. S. nutrition labels in the last paragraph?
A. To show their positive effect on behavior.
B. To give an example of changes on food labels.
C. To illustrate the serious obesity problem in America.
D. To present their uncertain impact on customers’ behavior.

Once upon a time, in a village, a little boy named Bob lived with his mother in their attractive little cottage. They didn’t have much but were content with the little they had. Every day after he came home from school, Bob would accompany his mother to the forest to collect firewood.
One day, when Bob was in the forest collecting wood, he came across a puppy which seemed to be all alone. Bob looked here and there for its owner but in vain. So he picked it up, put it under his shirt and carried it home. Reaching home, he said to her mother, “Mom, I found a little puppy alone in the forest! Can we keep him, please?“ Feeling Bob’s happiness, his mother was in two minds about whether to keep the puppy or not. She told him, ”Oh Bob, that’s the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen! But we don’t have much. What will we do about his food and sleeping arrangement?“ Bob replied, “It’s OK. I’ll give him half of my meals and let him sleep with me in my bed.” Hearing this, Bob’s mother just nodded. Bob’s happiness knew no bounds, and he named the puppy Milo.
From that day onwards, Bob and Milo became the best friends. Milo followed Bob wherever he went. When Bob went to school, Milo would diligently wait outside the classroom till the classes ended. At night, Milo slept next to Bob on his tiny bed and dreamed sweet dreams.
On one particular day, Milo was sick, unable to follow Bob, so he stayed at home. That day it rained heavily, and the roads everywhere turned slippery. On his way home, Bob was trying to reach home as soon as possible as he dreamed of Milo waiting for him and keeping him warm. Unfortunately, Bob missed seeing a hole at the side of the road and fell down the hole!
