Drying Ways for Food
1.Centuries ago,man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it,and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican(dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes),the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and"apricot leather".
2.All foods including water,cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93%water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%,lean meat 75%and fish,anything from 20%to 60%,depending on how fatty it is.If this water is removed,the activity of the bacteria which causes food to go bad is checked.
3.Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor,Greece,Spain and other Mediterranean countries,and also in California,South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general,the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun.In order to prevent darkening,pears,peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulfur before drying. Plums,for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants,are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating,so as to increase the rate of drying.
4.Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically.The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃at entry and to about 43℃at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables,minced meat, and fish.
5.Liquids such as milk,coffee,tea,soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder,by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes.In the first case,the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small,though still relatively coarse flakes.In the second process,it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required,as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
6.Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions.For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers,explorers and soldiers in battle,who have little storage space.They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.Paragraph 4______

Eating Meat-Less or More? Every second in the United States alone,more than 250 animals are slaughtered for food,adding up to more than 8 billion animals each year.Reducing the amount of meat in one's diet is nutritionally, environmentally,and ethically beneficial, People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians.Meat has been directly linked to diabetes,obesity,arthritis,and many other illnesses.Furthermore,meat-eaters are at a higher risk for diseases,including cancer,and they are more likely to die from these diseases.Critics say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients,especially protein and iron.Actually,according to A Teen’s Guide to Going Vegetarian,by Judy Krizmanic,proteil1 is found in almost every food,and iron appears in many vegetables.Getting enough nutrients in a meat-reduced diet should not be difficult.A 1988 study found that some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs.Diets including more fruits and vegetables will only make people healthier. Some skeptics believe that there will be a shortage of food if animals are not eaten.In fact,the opposite is true.More than 80% of the corn and 95% of the oats grown in the U.S.are fed to livestock.The world's cattle alone consume enough food to equal the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people,more than the entire human population.One half of the water used in the Unites States also goes to livestock;250 gallons of water produces only 1 lb.（磅）of beef.If people eat less meat and more plants,the amount of available food will increase。 Many people become vegetarians because they feel that eating animals is unethical.90% of these animals are raised in confinement.Chickens and other birds have only about half a square foot of space each,and since they are raised so close together,a lot of blade is used to cut off their beaks to prevent them from pecking each other to death.Likewise,pigs that are repressed will bite each other's tails,so both their teeth and tails are removed as soon as they are born. Eating animals is hazardous in numerous ways.Even a slight reduction in meat intake is better than nothing at all.Consuming less meat is beneficial to the health of animals,the health of people,and to the health of the world.What is the attitude the author has toward eating meat?
A:Positive.
B:Negative.
C:Indifferent.
D:None of the above.答案：B解析：由文赣四段第一句话“Many people become vegetthians because they feel that eating animals is unethical.”可知，很多人成为素食主义者是因为似门认为摄食动物是不道德的。故选A。
由文章第二段第五句话“… according to A Teen 's Guide to Going Vegetarian , by Judy Krizmanic , protein is found in almost every food , and iron appears in many vegetable.”可知，在这本书上，作者认为几乎每一种食物中都含有蛋白质。故选C。
由文章第三段可知，在美国大量的粮食和水用于饲养肉食动物，而这些动物所摄入的粮食本身就足以满足全人类的热量需求。这暗示了饲养肉食动物对资源的浪费。由此可以推断出，作者认为少吃肉对环境有利。故选B。
由文章第一段最后一句话“Reducing the amount of meat in one 's diet is nutritionally,environmentally, and ethically beneficial.”可知，减少肉类的摄人在营养、环境和道德方面都是有好处的。并且文章第二、三、四段围绕此观点展开讲解，因此可推测出作者对吃肉持否定态度。故选B。
文章第一段和最后一段互相呼应，讲述了少吃肉的各种好处。中间段落也分别从营养、环境和伦理方面讲述多吃肉的坏处。因此可看出文章主题就是少吃肉的好处。故选A。 -

第11题：
问答题Directions:In this part there are one passage with five questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dry dates and “apricot leather”.All foods contain water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60% depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked. Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums, for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish. Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed. Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water. Questions: 1．What makes food go bad according to the passage? 2．What does the word “dehydration” in Para. 4 refer to? 3．Housewives like dried foods because______. 4．What kind of treatment do pears and plums go through in the drying process? 5．Where are vegetables most commonly dried nowadays?正确答案：
1.The activity of certain bacteria. 文章第二段提到:If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked.可知,导致食物变坏的原因是the bacteria“细菌”。
2.Drying. 文中第四段第一句话提到:现在用机械的方法使事物脱水,后面一句The conventional method of such dehydration…这里such dehydration就指代前面所说的脱水,故答案是drying。
3.they are quick to prepare 文中倒数第一段第二句话给出答案:They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
4.Chemical treatment. 文中第二段后半部分详细描写了水果脱水的过程,经过总结可知,在脱水过程中,需要经过一系列化学处理。
5.In hot-air chambers. 第四段第二句话指出:The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃,and This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish. 通过概括,可知蔬菜脱水要用高温储藏室。解析： 暂无解析 -
第12题：
单选题Which of the following statements most clearly contradicts the information in this passage?AWhile Texas was under Mexican control, the population of Texas quadrupled, in spite of the fact the Mexico discouraged immigration from the United States.
BMost Indians living in Texas resisted Spanish acculturation and were either killed or enslaved.
CBy the time Mexico acquired Texas, many Indians had already married people of Spanish Heritage.
DMany Mexicans living in Texas returned to Mexico after Texas was annexed by the United States.
正确答案： C解析：
考察与原文内容冲突的选项，将每个选项取反，看是否在文中有定位。由文章第二段第一句：When the Spanish first came to Mexico, they intermarried with and absorbed the culture of the indigenous Indians可知，西班牙人与墨西哥人通婚，而墨西哥人也并没有抵制或者被残杀。B为正确答案。 -

第一篇
The Sahara
The name Sahara derives from the Arabic word for"desert"or"steppe".At 3.5 million square miles,
an area roughly the size of the United States,the Sahara Desert in northern Africa is the largest desert in the
world.It spans the continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Daytime temperatures can reach as high
as 130°F.The humidity sometimes gets into the teens.But it can also be as low as 2.5 percent,the lowest in
the world.Most of the Sahara receives less than five inches of rain per year,while large areas sometimes have
no rainfall at all for years.
At the heart of the Sahara is the landlocked north African country of Niger. Here the sand dunes can be
100 feet tall and several miles long. Here sand plains stretch over an area larger than Germany where there is
neither water nor towns.Yet sitting in the midst of the surrounding desert is the town of Bilma. Suddenly there
are pools of clear water. Surprisingly,there are groves of date palms.Underground water resources,or oases,
sufficient to support irrigated agriculture are found in dry stream beds and depressions.Irrigation ditches run
off a creek to water fields.Corn,cassava,tea,peanuts,hot peppers,and orange,lime,and grapefruit trees grow
in these fields.Donkeys and goats graze on green grass.
The Sahara of Niger is still a region where you can see a camel caravan of 500 camels tied together in
loose lines as long as a mile,traveling toward such oasis towns.There a caravan will collect life-sustaining
salt,which is mined from watery basins,and transport it up to 400 miles back to settlements on the edges of
the desert.The round trip across the vast sands takes one month.The phrase"an area roughly the size of the United States"gives an indication of the size of_______________.
A:northern Africa
B:Niger
C:the Sahara
D:all of Africa答案：C解析：本题问的是：这篇文章主要讲了什么？本文主要介绍了撒哈拉沙漠的地理位置、气候 概况、农业和交通运输状况。B选项范围过宽。C选项不全面，文章不只介绍了比尔马的情 况。D选项文中没有具体介绍。所以A是对的。
本题问的是：在撒哈拉的绝大多数地区，降雨情况如何？根据第一段的最后一句话，撒 哈拉的绝大多数地区每年降雨量低于5英寸。所以A正确。
本题问的是：撒哈拉沙漠可以被描述成什么？A项的意思是，一个具有强烈对比的地 方。B项的意思是杳无人烟的地方。C项的意思是冬天很冷的地区。D项的意思是吸引很多 游客的地方。B、C、D项均不符合文意，A项说的对比可以在湿度高低、沙漠与绿洲的对比等方 面找到，因此A正确。
本题问的是：短语“大约和美国大小相当的地区”指的是什么地方的大小？根据第一段 的第二句话可知，本句的主语是撒哈拉沙漠。因此C正确。
本题问的是：文中“caravan”的意思是什么？A项的意思是旅行马戏团。C项是火车。D 项是又小又快的帆船。根据文中的介绍，穿过沙漠的驼队由上百只骆驼组成，来到绿洲城镇收 集盐，因此B选项“一群人一起穿过条件恶劣的国家”是正确的。第二篇 本文的主要内容是：蚂蚁通过筑巢和其广泛的捕食方式改善了土壤结构。在数量不是很大 时，它们的存在有利于其他动物群体密度和多样性的增加，对环境的影响很大。因此，蚂蚁被称为“生 态系统的工程师”。 -

Eating Meat一Less or More?
Every second in the United States alone,mnore than 250 animals are slaughtered for food,adding up to
more than 8 billion animals each year. Reducing the amount of meat in one's diet is nutritionally,environ-
mentally,and ethically beneficial.
People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians.Meat has
been directly linked to diabetes,obesity,arthritis,and many other illnesses.Furthermore,meat-eaters are
at a higher risk for diseases,including cancer,and they are more likely to die from these diseases.Critics
say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients,especially protein and iron.Actually,according
to A Teen's Guide to Going Vegetarian,by Judy Krizmanic,protein is found in almost every food,and iron
appears in many vegetables.Getting enough nutrients in a meat-reduced diet should not lie difficult.A 1988
study found that some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs.Diets including more fruits
and vegetables will only make people healthier.
Some skeptics believe that there will be a shortage of food if animals are not eaten.In fact,the opposite
is true.More than 80% of the corn and 95%of the oats grown in the U.S.are fed to livestock.The world's
cattle alone consume enough food to equal the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people,more than the entire hu-
man population.One half of the water used in the Unites States also goes to livestock;250 gallons of water
produces only 1 lb.（磅）of beef. If people eat less meat and more plants,the amount of available ftod will
increase。
Many people become vegetarians I)ecause they feel that eating animals is unethical.90%of these ani-
mals are raised in confinement.Chickenls arid other birds have only about half a square foot of space each,
and since they are raised so close together,a lot of blade is used to cut off their beaks to prevent them from
pecking each other to death.Likewise,pigs that are repressed will bite each other's tails,so both their
teeth and tails are removed as soon as they are born.
Eating animals is hazardous in numerous ways.Even a slight reduction in meat intake is better than
nothing at all.Consuming less meat is beneficial to the health of animals,the health of people,and to the
health of the world.Which of the following statements is true according to the book A Teen's Guide to Going Vegetarian?
A:Some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs.
B:A meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients.
C:Protein can be found in almost every food.
D:More than 80%of the corn in the U.S.are fed to livestock.答案：C解析：由文章第四段第一句话“Many people become vegetarians because they feel that eating ani- mals 0 is unethical.”可知，选A。
由文章第二段中“…according to A Teen 's Guide to Going Vegetarian, by Judy Krizmanic, protein is found in almost every food,and iron appears in many vegetables.”可知，选C。
文章第三段提到大量的粮食和水用于饲养肉食动物，暗示饲养肉食动物对资源的浪 费。由此可以推断出，作者认为少吃肉对环境有利。故选B。
由于每段都提到了吃肉的坏处，所以说作者的杰度是否定的。
第一段和最后一段互相呼应，中间段落也紧扣文章主题，根据内容可以推断文章主题 就是少吃肉的好处。故选A。 -

Every second in the United States alone,more than 250 animals are slaughtered for food,adding up to more than 8 billion animals each year.Reducing the amount of meat in one's diet is nutritionally, environmentally,and ethically beneficial, People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians.Meat has been directly linked to diabetes,obesity,arthritis,and many other illnesses.Furthermore,meat-eaters are at a higher risk for diseases,including cancer,and they are more likely to die from these diseases.Critics say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients,especially protein and iron.Actually,according to A Teen’s Guide to Going Vegetarian,by Judy Krizmanic,proteil1 is found in almost every food,and iron appears in many vegetables.Getting enough nutrients in a meat-reduced diet should not be difficult.A 1988 study found that some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs.Diets including more fruits and vegetables will only make people healthier. Some skeptics believe that there will be a shortage of food if animals are not eaten.In fact,the opposite is true.More than 80% of the corn and 95% of the oats grown in the U.S.are fed to livestock.The world's cattle alone consume enough food to equal the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people,more than the entire human population.One half of the water used in the Unites States also goes to livestock;250 gallons of water produces only 1 lb.（磅）of beef.If people eat less meat and more plants,the amount of available food will increase。 Many people become vegetarians because they feel that eating animals is unethical.90% of these animals are raised in confinement.Chickens and other birds have only about half a square foot of space each,and since they are raised so close together,a lot of blade is used to cut off their beaks to prevent them from pecking each other to death.Likewise,pigs that are repressed will bite each other's tails,so both their teeth and tails are removed as soon as they are born. Eating animals is hazardous in numerous ways.Even a slight reduction in meat intake is better than nothing at all.Consuming less meat is beneficial to the health of animals,the health of people,and to the health of the world.Which of the following statements is true according to the book A Teen’s Guide to Going Vegetarian?
A:Some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs,
B:A meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients.
C:Protein can be found in almost every food,
D:More than 80% of the corn in the U.S.are fed to livestock.答案：C解析：由文赣四段第一句话“Many people become vegetthians because they feel that eating animals is unethical.”可知，很多人成为素食主义者是因为似门认为摄食动物是不道德的。故选A。
由文章第二段第五句话“… according to A Teen 's Guide to Going Vegetarian , by Judy Krizmanic , protein is found in almost every food , and iron appears in many vegetable.”可知，在这本书上，作者认为几乎每一种食物中都含有蛋白质。故选C。
由文章第三段可知，在美国大量的粮食和水用于饲养肉食动物，而这些动物所摄入的粮食本身就足以满足全人类的热量需求。这暗示了饲养肉食动物对资源的浪费。由此可以推断出，作者认为少吃肉对环境有利。故选B。
由文章第一段最后一句话“Reducing the amount of meat in one 's diet is nutritionally,environmentally, and ethically beneficial.”可知，减少肉类的摄人在营养、环境和道德方面都是有好处的。并且文章第二、三、四段围绕此观点展开讲解，因此可推测出作者对吃肉持否定态度。故选B。
文章第一段和最后一段互相呼应，讲述了少吃肉的各种好处。中间段落也分别从营养、环境和伦理方面讲述多吃肉的坏处。因此可看出文章主题就是少吃肉的好处。故选A。 -

第22题：
问答题Practice 5 If you think American cooking means opening a package and tossing the contents into the microwave, think again. On the one hand, it's true that Americans thrive on cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to professional people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. Probably every cook has his or her own cooking style. But there are some basic techniques and principles that most people follow. For example, baking is a primary method of preparing food in America. The dinner menu often has roast meats and other baked goods. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks give special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include a meat, a few vegetables, some bread or pasta and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.正确答案： 【参考译文】
假如您以为美式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒,将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热,那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说,美国人靠吃早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及速食晚餐而发育健壮,这倒是真的。从忙碌的家庭主妇到上班族,许多美国人喜欢享受事先包装好的便餐所带来的便利——这些速食在10分钟或更短时间内即可上桌。但是从另一个方面来看,许多美国人都认同厨艺的价值。大多数美国人都承认没有什么能比得上一顿自家做的关食。
大概每一位厨师都有他自己的烹饪方式,但仍有一些基本方法和原则是大多数人所遵循的。例如烘培在美国是一种主要的烹饪方法,晚餐菜单上通常有烤肉及其他烘培食物。因此,美国人会觉得没有烤箱几乎是无法生活。美国厨师们也特别留意食物营养的均衡。在准备一顿大餐时,他们会试着加进一道肉、几种蔬菜、一些面包或面食,而且通常还有一道甜点。他们还喜欢使餐点色彩亮丽,盘中不同色彩食物的搭配构成了健康饮食。解析： 暂无解析 -
