You should make the correct choice. 35 To preserve food, the growth of bacteria (细菌 ) must be controlled. Water,

18、 warmth, and food are all needed for bacteria to become strong and healthy. Some kinds of bacteria need air, but other kinds grow only when air is absent. Extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, can kill bacteria. Before electric ice boxes were invented, freezing and cooling were limited by the

19、 cold climate. In warmer regions, food was cooled by putting it in the shade, in cold water from the well, or in pits in the ground. Cooking will usually kill bacteria if the temperature is high enough and long enough. Certain methods of cooking remove water, and this aids in preserving food. Drying

20、 is the oldest and most common method of preserving food. Food can be dried by the sun, by heat or by combination of the two. Salt was used by many hunting people. When people began to cat vegetables, salt be came a needed part of their life. Salt helps to preserve food because it slows or stops bac

21、teria growth. Other chemicals besides salt are used in preserving foot. Some people oppose the use of chemicals in food. They say that these chemicals may harm people if the chemicals can harm bacteria. 36 Cooking is an effective way in preserving foods because . （ A） cooking always kills the bacter

22、ia in food （ B） cooking can make the food become dry （ C） the light in cooking can kill bacteria （ D） under the right conditions, cooking will kill bacteria 37 Which is the best one for preserving food in the following methods? （ A） Put the food ill a cold place. （ B） Cook the food well. （ C） Dry th

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 Accidents was caused; they dont just happen. The reaso

26、n may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road, an overloaded truck. But merely often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune frustration, tiredness or just bad temper that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself. Road accidents,

27、 for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accidents-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others. By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which

28、 used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness. It is not always clear, either, what s

29、ort of conditions makes people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured

30、from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgmentnoise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run

31、 three times the normal risk of accidents at work. 41 The following are the factors of accidents EXCEPT . （ A） mood （ B） tiredness （ C） carelessness （ D） weather 42 The word “accidents-prone“ (Line 2, Para. 2) means . （ A） likely to have accidents （ B） injured in accidents （ C） possible to die in ac

32、cidents （ D） responsible for road accidents 43 We can infer that the authors opinion of accidents is that . （ A） safety precautions are of little use in accidents （ B） many accidents can and should be avoided （ C） factory accidents, unlike road accidents, are inevitable （ D） most road accidents are

33、caused by just a few careless drivers 44 The best title for the passage wound be . （ A） Accidents and Anxiety （ B） How to Deal with Accidents on Roads and in Factories （ C） Human Factors in Accidents （ D） How to Prevent Accidents on Roads and in Factories 45 The passage suggests that . （ A） accident
