Question

【題目】

School students are not allowed to drink wine(酒), but there’s nothing wrong with

making it. Urumqi No. 37 Middle School students in Xinjiang have been doing it since

2005.

Grapes are grown everywhere in Xinjiang. It’s the reason the school decided to teach students how to make red wine a few years ago, according to Zhu Dacheng, vice-head of the school.

“We hope the students can find out about something in real life and learn practical(實(shí)用的) skills,” he said.

The students got to work in September, when the grapes in Xinjiang were good enough. They were divided into groups. They needed about 5kg of grapes each, some yeast (酵母), a large bowl and a big bottle.

Yang Lili, 13, told Teens how the four students in her group made their wine.

“We worked like a production line,” she said. One student washed the grapes, another pulled them from their stems(莖，梗); the others pressed the grapes in a large bowl. Then they put the grapes and the yeast into a big bottle and closed it up. The task takes about an hour.

Then what? A lot of waiting! After 45 days, the students cleaned the wine twice and then put it into small

bottles. At last, the wine was ready.

Yang said that of the 11 groups in her class, just three failed to make wine. In March, the whole class held a wine-tasting party.

Xu Hao, 13, said they were excited to taste the results. “The wine is so sweet,” he said. “We made better wine than you can buy in the supermarket!”

“It’s because our wine is made from 100% grapes,” he added.

At the party, the teacher also taught the students about wine culture. For example, how to hold a glass, and

how you can judge the quality of a wine by its color.

【解析】短文大意：在校生是不允許喝酒的，但做酒沒(méi)有錯(cuò)。新疆烏魯木齊37中學(xué)的學(xué)生一直在做這件事。目的是希望學(xué)生能了解現(xiàn)實(shí)生活，學(xué)習(xí)實(shí)用技能。

【1】根據(jù)第二段可知，“新疆到處種植葡萄” 是學(xué)校決定教學(xué)生如何制作紅葡萄酒的原因。故選：C。

【2】根據(jù)第三段“We hope the students can find out about something in real life and learn practical(實(shí)用的) skills,” he said.可知，讓學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)制作葡萄酒的目的在于，希望學(xué)生能了解現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的東西，學(xué)習(xí)實(shí)用技能。故選：C。

【3】根據(jù)第六段可知，他們的小組生產(chǎn)線是這樣工作的：Wash the grapes→pull the grapes→press the grapes→put the yeast in→close the bottle up.。故選：C。

【4】根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段第一句Xu Hao, 13, said they were excited to taste the results. 可知，學(xué)生嘗到酒興奮的原因是，因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)诘攘?/span>45天之后, 做的酒終于成功了。故選：B。

【5】根據(jù)短文大意可知，在品酒會(huì)之前，老師教學(xué)生如何做酒，而不是教學(xué)生飲酒，所以D項(xiàng)表述是錯(cuò)誤的。故選：D。
