42、 expensive. When the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up. When production costs, meaning the prices of labor and machinery, rise, the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine.（分数：20.00）(1).From the first paragraph, we know that the speaker is _.（分数：4.00）A.asking

43、 about the priceB.worrying about the priceC.bargaining over the priceD.complaining about the price 解析：解析 根据题目要求定位到第一段。说话人已经知道了价格，但对价格的上涨感到不满：How come the price is now.What“s going on?(为什么价格现在是搞什么啊?)D 项的 complain意为“抱怨”，可见此选项符合题目要求。 说话的人已经知道了价格(从 1.69上涨到 2.25)，故他不是在询问价格，排除 A项。根据第一段说话人的语气，他是有点生气的，想弄明白价

44、格上涨是怎么回事，而不是对价格感到担忧，也没有与人讨价还价，排除 B项和 C项。(2).The three factors mentioned in the passage cause _.（分数：4.00）A.the sales of wine to increaseB.the price of wine to go up C.the production of wine to decreaseD.more and more people to drink wine解析：解析 题目中提到的 three factors分别出现在第二至五段。第二段是总起段，其中第一句谈到，至少有三个方面(thr

45、ee things)导致了葡萄酒的价格上升(the price of wine to rise)。这里的 three things就是题目中的 three factors，B 项的 go up与文中的 rise同义，故为正确答案。 A项仅仅是第一个因素带来的结果，不全面。C 项显然不对，因为第四段中提到葡萄酒的产量稳定(has stayed relatively the same)，而且这是导致价格上涨的原因之一，而不是结果。文中只提到人们现在喝的酒比以往多，但无法判断这三个因素是不是引起了更多人喝葡萄酒，不选 D项。(3).The supply of wine has remained th

46、e same partly because _.（分数：4.00）A.wine-producing countries are unwilling to increase their productionB.new vineyards will not be opened up in such countries as AustraliaC.countries like Italy and Spain can“t supply enough good wines D.the production of wine bottles has ceased to increase解析：解析 根据题目中

47、的 supply和 the same定位到第四段第一句。该句谈到了葡萄酒的产量稳定，接下来几句说明了造成这种情况的两个原因：一是世界主要产酒地法国、德国和加利福尼亚没有新葡萄园可供开发(will not be available in the near future)；二是像意大利、西班牙、澳大利亚等其他国家虽然也都生产葡萄酒，却不能满足人们对优质葡萄酒的需求(none.will be able to fill the demand)。可见，C 项的表述是原因之一，为正确答案。 A项的表述不对，不是因为产酒国家不愿意生产，而是条件不许可。新葡萄园不会在法国、德国和加州开设，而不是澳大利亚，B

48、项错误。D 项虽然是第四段中的原意，但要注意它是葡萄酒供应量保持稳定的结果，而不是原因。(4).What does “production costs“ refer to in the last paragraph?（分数：4.00）A.The price of grapes and machines.B.The cost of land and transportation.C.The price of wine and wine bottles.D.The cost of the manpower and equipment. 解析：解析 根据题目要求定位到最后一段最后一句。该句中 mea

49、ning之后的内容就是对 production costs的解释，即 the prices of labor and machinery(劳动力和机器价格)。因此 D项为正确答案。 阅读全文可以发现，文章只谈到了葡萄酒、人力和机器的价格，并没有谈到葡萄的价格、土地和运输成本、酒瓶的价格，因此 A、B 和 C项都可以排除。(5).The author“s purpose of writing this passage is to _.（分数：4.00）A.persuade people to drink less wineB.tell people where to get the best wineC.explain why the price of wine is rising D.show that wine is popular with Americans解析：解析 文章第一段引述消费者的话语，抱怨葡萄酒的价格上涨太快；接着作者从三个方面解释说明了葡萄酒价格上涨的原因。可见文章讨论的是葡萄酒价格上涨的因素。因此 C项为作者的写作
