During the winter, most London auctioneers(拍卖商) have wine auctions．Some are of wines for 21 drinking, but most are of fine wines．East winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were 22 down at￡ 158 a bottle．1945 and 1961 are the two most 23 vintage years for claret (红葡萄酒)．Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay．Not 24 ago, an American at Christies paid ￡ 8,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806．Sometimes, it is a matter of personal 25by the very rich．At other times there can be a 26 objective．Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid ￡ 9,000 for a magnum--that is, a two-bottle size--of 1864 Lafite．He 27 30 people ￡ 1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine．It was 28 ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant．Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment．On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the 29 value of good wine to pay for his own drinking．A syndicate of four will buy a 30 of Lafite 1945 at, say, ￡ 2,000．Each takes three bottles．Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the other two to sel later at the 31 price as the three cost in the first place．That is, naturally, taking inflation into 32
But there is no 33 that a bottle of wine at ￡ 1,000 is a hundred times 34 than one that costs ￡ 10．Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is ￡100 a bottle．Above ￡ 100, you are paying for something 35 than taste．
A．usual

C．daily

Staff Sgt．Nicholas Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unknown．" A combat veteran and father to four daughters, he can't remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned in Iraq．But he can't yet accept a civilian job because he doesn't know when the military will discharge(使退伍) him．He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation related to his injury, so he can't make a future budget．He just waits．Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve but in limbo (无着落) for about two years waiting to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than its predecessor．And th delays are not only affecting service members, but the military's readiness as well．New troops can't enlist until others are discharged．The government determines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for their military service．Under the old system, a medical board would determine their level of military compensation and the service member would be discharged．Then the veteran essentially would have to go through the process again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits．Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disability
evaluation systems at the same time before leaving the military．But the new, supposedly streamlined, system is still such a cumbersome process that it's leaving many service members in limbo, they say．
Why can't Sgt．Lanier serve in the military anymore?
A．Because of his injured back．
B．Because of his hand．
C．Because his vision has worsened．
D．Because he has a civilian job．
37、 Under the old system, an injured soldier would have to go through the claims process________
A．once
B．twice
C．three times
D．more times
38、
Is the new system better than the old system?
A．Yes, it's much better．
B．It is a lot more effective．
C．It doesn't seem that way．
D．No．It' s worse．
39、
How much will the government pay Sgt．Lanier in disability compensation?
A．They won't pay him anything．
B．He doesn't know．
C．They will pay him about $2,500 per month．
D．The government hash' t decided.

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news．Rather, it is an ordinary event．Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them．However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed．Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago．The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats．Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals．Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task．They did not
limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex．Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away．Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside．Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable．To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered．
Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?
A．It is home to rare animals．
B．It has a large number of caves．
C．It is known for horse-racing events．
D．It has attracted many famous artists．
41、 According to the passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?
A．Birds．
B．Bison．
C．Horses．
D．Wild cats．
42、
Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?
A．It was completely dark inside．
B．The caves were full of wild animals．
C．Painting materials were hard to find．
D．Many painting spaces were difficult to reach．
43、
According to the passage, all of the following have caused damage to the paintings EXCEPT________

When the Old and New Cities of Jerusalem were reunited in 1967, a recently widowed Arab woman, who had been living in Old Jerusalem since 1948, wanted to see once more the house in which she formerly lived．Now that the city was one, she searched for and found her old home．She knocked on the door of the apartment, and a Jewish widow came to the door and greeted her．The Arab woman explained that she had lived there until 1948 and wanted to look around．She was invited in and offered coffee．The Arab woman said, "When I lived here, I hid some valuables．If they are still here, I will share them with you half and half．" The Jewish woman refused．" If they belonged to you and are still here, they are yours．" After much discussion back and forth, they entered the bathroom, loosened the floor planks, and found a hoard of gold coins．The Jewish woman said, "I shall ask the government to let you keep them．" She did and permission was granted．The two widows visited each other again and again, and one day the Arab woman told her, "You know, in the 1948 fighting here, my husband and I were so frightened that we ran away to escape．We grabbed our belongings, took the children, and each fled separately．We had a three-month-old son．I thought my husband had taken him, and he thought I had．Imagine our grief when we were reunited in Old Jerusalem to find that neither of us had taken the child．"
The Jewish woman turned pale, and asked the exact date．The Arab woman named the date and the hour, and the Jewish widow told her: " My husband was one of the Israeli troops that entered
Jerusalem．He came into this house and found a baby on the floor．He asked if he could keep the house and the baby, too．Permission was granted．"
At that moment, a twenty-year-old Israeli soldier in uniform walked into the room, and the Jewish woman broke down in tears．"This is your son," she cried．This is one of those incredible tales we hear．And the aftermath? The two women liked each other so much that the Jewish widow asked the Arab mother: "Look, we are both widows living alone．Our children are grown up．This house has brought you luck．You have found your son, or our son．Why don't we live together?" And they do．

How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?
These are two important questions that many people are asking today．Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time．They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage．For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land．Now, empty land is scarce．But more and more garbage is produced each year．However, garbage can be a good fuel to use．The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels．As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source．Burning garbage is not a new idea．Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years．The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water．The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings．In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year．The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil．Our fossil fuel supplies are limited．Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs．
