    Do you scream on a roller coaster ride? You slowly climb up a steep slope until an almost vertical(垂直的) drop, and then... Ahhhhhhhh! Thrill-seekers like me are in luck because theme parks are pushing the boundaries of technology to create the fastest, tallest, scariest roller coasters the world has ever known.
    Alton Towers in Britain opened the world's first 14-1oop roller coaster a few months ago, called The Smiler. Over in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World claims to have the world's fastest one. Ferrari World's Formula Rossa ride sends out passengers from 0-240km/h in just 4. 9 seconds. During this rapid acceleration they experience G-forces only fighter pilots usually  feel: Up to 4. 8G. The designer of several rides at Alton Towers, said: "While we can stand 6-8Gs for very short periods of  time, ff we experience 5G for more than five seconds we're likely to "black out."
     On modern roller coasters passengers experience about 3G in tight turns and loops. But while we may have reached the limit in terms of G-forces, there is no technological limit to how fast or how high roller coasters can go---it's all down to money. Alton Towers' The Smiler cost ~18m to build.
    Some companies are finding :other ways to keep us amused. There's a move towards indoor rides where the experience is improved by audio-visual technologies. For example, a company called Dynamic Structures is currently developing a "coal-mine-themed" ride for a client in Dubai that will combine speed and G-forces with 3D projection effects and robotics, which will trick your brain into thinking you're really falling.
    I can't wait to enjoy this one. What about you: Do you like being upside down?
 36. The underlined phrase "black out" in the second paragraph probably means  ....  .

     Say you're in the wine store and you want to buy something new. You have nothing to go by outside of the
 label. Will the label tell you anything you should know? Here's some general advice:
     Vintage. This is the first thing we look for ourselves. You don't need to care whether 2001 or 2002 was a better year in the Sierra Foothills. The vast majority of wines at the store are meant to be drunk right away, so you make sure the wine isn't too old, particularly if you're buying it expecting lively, fresh fruitiness. We often see five-year-old Pinot Grigio and two-year-old Beaujolais Nouveau at stores, for example, so as soon as we see that kind of age on wines like those, we know we can skip them and move on(and possibly not shop there again).
     Alcohol content. Too many wines have too much alcohol, which leaves them unbalanced. Sure, there are some classic wines with high alcohol levels, but many of today's regular table wines--Merlot, Chardonnay--have levels at 15% or above. Some of those might be terrific, but if we had nothing else to go on, we'd look for alcohol content at about 14% and below.
    The more specific the better. A wine that says it's from Napa is probably a better bet than a wine that simply
 says it's from California. Unfortunately, this will also probably be reflected in the price, so this might not tell you much about value, If you care enough to know a few of famous vineyards for producing high-quality grapes, they might help you make an educated guess about quality.
   Old vines. Theoretically, older vines produce fewer, but more flavorful grapes, but the problem is that no one has defined what an "old vine" is, so anyone can put this on the label. Just ignore it.
   A phone number. You'd be surprised many small-production wines these days include a phone number on the back and an invitation to call the winerY, which is a sign of a highly personal winerY. We have called those numbers many
times over the years and it's amazing how often the winemaker or winerY owner answers the phone.
40. The underlined word "Vintage" in the second paragraph probably means "________ " .
    A. the place where the wine was made                   B. the year when the wine was made
    C. the freshness of the wine                           D. the label of the wine
41. It's better to buy
    A. five-year-old Pinot Grigio                           B. the wine labeled from older vines
    C. the wine from famous vineyards                      D. two-year-old Beaujolais Nouveau
42. From the passage we Can infer that
    A. the wine with high alcohol levels is definitely terrific
    B. most wines at the store are intended to be drunk right away
    C. older vines have lower production
    D. some winemakers keep the promise all the time
43. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
    A. Geography.             B. Price                  C. Quality.                D. Grapes.
