Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45
Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in
season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of
fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in
1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking - and - sealing process of
canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing
and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the
1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however,
inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate.
Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their
daily diets. Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable
farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enables growers and meat packers to
ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890’s,
northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes,
previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased
use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice
commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two
thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a
fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s
and 1930’s.

Almost everyone now had amore diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly
foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat.
Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables,
and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Causes of food spoilage B. Commercial
production of ice.
C. Population movements in the 19
th
century. D. Inventions that led to changes in the
American diet.
Question 37: The phrase “in season” in line 1 refers to _______.
A. a kind of weather B. a particular time of year C. an official schedule
D. a method of flavoring food.
Question 38: The word “prevent” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. estimate B. avoid C. correct
D. confine
Question 39: During the 1860’s canned food products were _______.
A. unavailable in rural areas B. shipped in refrigerator cars.
C. available in limited quantities D. a staple part of the American
diet.
Question 40: It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use _______.
A. before 1860 B. before 1890 C. after 1900
D. after 1920
Question 41: What does the word “them” refers to?
