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.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> 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 invention had also helped 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 enabled 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 mechanized refrigerator replaced it in 1920’s and 1930’s. Almost everyone had a more 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 35: Which of the following types of food preservation was NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Drying B. Canning C. Cold storage D. Chemical additive Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Causes of food spoilage C. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet B. Commercial production of ice D.

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun’s rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant’s gazelles. The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day. Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight. An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication. The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst. Question 55: What is the main topic of the passage? A. Weather variations in the desert B. Adaptations of desert animals. C. Diseased of desert animals D. Human use of desert animals. Question 56: According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals? A. It helps them hide from predators B. It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors C. It helps them see their young at night. D. It keeps them cool at night. Question 57: The word “maintaining” is closest in meaning to___________. A. measuring B. inheriting C. preserving D. delaying Question 58: The author uses of Grant’s gazelle as an example of___________. A. an animal with a low average temperature B. an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span> C. a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures D. a desert animal with a constant body temperature Question 59: When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower? A. Just before sunrise B. In the middle of the day C. Just after sunset D. Just after drinking Question 60: The word “tolerate” is closest in meaning to___________. A. endure B. replace C. compensate D. reduce Question 61: What causes water intoxication? A. Drinking too much water very quickly B. Drinking polluted water C. Bacteria in water. D. Lack of water. Question 62: Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph? A. To show how they use camels. B. To contrast them to desert mammals C. To give instructions about desert survival. D. To show how they have adapted to desert life. Question 63: The word “obtain” is closest in meaning to___________. A. digest B. carry C. save D. get Question 64: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals? A. Variation in body temperatures B. Eating while dehydrated C.

The following cues may help you: - Parents are children’s first teachers. - Parents know exactly what abilities their children have. - Children feel free to learn at home. SAMPLE WRITING Parents are said to be children’s first and best teachers. First of all, nobody can understand the children better than the parents do. They watch over their children from the early time, so they know what their son or daughter is thinking exactly, and what their characters or behaviors are. Thanks to their advice, the children can become more mature and stable. Secondly, parents are always beside their children at any time. In life, there will be moments that a person falls into difficulties or distress and it is parents who are always worried and take care of them, make them more optimistic about life. Moreover, the children’s personality can be best formed when they spend more time with their parents. Every action from their mother or father will have a deep impact on how the children see the world and build up their feelings. (145 words).
