VIII. Read the following passage and fill the blank with ONE suitable word.
 Enjoyment is what drinking wine is all about. However, the more you know, (56)________
easier it becomes to select the right wines for you or your guests. Wine is basically grape juice to 
(57) ______yeast has been added causing it to ferment and produce alcohol. Alcohol is 
flavourless,
so there must be something more (58)______wine than this. Many of the secrets of wine lie within
the grape. Its pulp is a sugar solution which contains the things that give a wine its fruity flavour. 
In a dry wine, most of a grape’s sugar has been converted (59) ___alcohol. In a sweet one, 
more
sugar is left. This can be felt on the (60)______of the tongue. The pulp also contains acidity which
gives the wine "crispness” that makes the mouth water.
 Too much (61)______it can make you wince, too little and the wine could taste dull. The skin
contains flavour and tannin. Tannin produces a tingling sensation in the gums and gives a wine 
firmness. White grapes (62)______their skins removed before fermentation so tannin is only 
really
found in red wines. The pulp of black and white grapes is (63) _____same pale colour. The fact that
the skins of black grapes are left on (64)______the wine is fermented gives red wine its colour.
 The wines which are often considered to be the best are (65) _____where all the elements
balance one another. There are many grape varieties grown in many climates which influence the Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that 
create the tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves 
created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the 
surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite 
their impressive sweep.
 The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more 
distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the 
outermost star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be 
obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later 
each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is 
correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the 
height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, 
and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month 
and are called the spring tides. At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the 
pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send 
its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, 
at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular 
configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements 
called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other 
time during the month.
