module 2the renaissance.阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的a、b、c和d四个选项中,选出最佳选项。a(2017湖南雅礼中学二次调研,c)blind tasting is a very strange activity. contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. it involves tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. i tasted seven champagnes(香槟酒)blind with a group of professionals recently. there was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. that sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven(视觉导向) rather than quality-driven wine of all. but it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind.because im interested in how wines really taste instead of how i think they should, i taste wine blind as often as i can, especially when assessing similar young wines. but blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. the most difficult master of wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify(鉴定)each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality.now that the mw is behind me, i taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. so my blind tasting these days is round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when i act as a judge, with hugh johnson, in the oxford vs cambridge wine-tasting competition. this is the most extraordinary match, always held before the boat race but taken just as seriously nowadays. this years match took place at the end of last month, as usual in the oxford and cambridge club on pall mall in london. 1.which of the following is true about blind tasting?a.blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.b.blind tasting usually has the right result.c.blind tasting means tasting a wine with ones eyes covered.d.blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.2.why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting? a.they got all the results correctly. b.they didnt recognize their favorite at all. c.the writer made no mistakes. d.champagnes cannot be tasted blind.3.which of the following interests the writer most? a.assessing young wines. b.master of wine exams. c.tasting wine blind in public. d.oxford vs cambridge wine-tasting competition.4.what can we infer from the last paragraph? a.the boat race is taken more seriously than the wine-tasting competition. b.the oxford vs cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually. c.i didnt act as a judge last year. d.pall mall was chosen as the place for the wine-tasting competition for the first time.bbollywood dance is fun, a great workout and an important
