Water, 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 a
24、bsent. Extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, can kill bacteria.Before electric ice-boxes were invented, freezing and cooling were limited by the cold climate. In warmer regions, food was cooled by putting it in the shade, in cold water from the well, or in pits(坑) in the ground.Cooking will u
25、sually kill bacteria if the temperature is high enough and the high temperature lasts long enough. Certain methods of cooking remove water, and this aids in preserving food.

26、 two.Salt was used by many hunting people. When people began to eat vegetables, salt became a needed part of their life. Salt helps to preserve food because it slows or stops bacteria to grow.

31、ent, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some
32、stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own a
33、bilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suite
34、d for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them.

48、的身份、职业等。如：Liu Huan is known as a singer刘欢作为一名歌手而出名。be known for 意为“因而著名”，其后所接内容表示某人或物的特点、特长等。如：Guilin is known for her beautiful mountains and rivers桂林因其美丽的山水而闻名。 be known to 意为“为所了解知道 ”，其后接表示人的词语，意为 “(人们都)知道”，其后接动词原形。如：He is known to all in our village村子里的人都了解他。因此选 D 项。3 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 句意：他要求我们解释发生了什么事，不是吗?反意疑问句题。题干前面部分的陈述句是主从复合句，附加疑问句般应根据主句的主谓形式而定。因陈述句部分是肯定的，故附加疑问句部分应用否定形式与之相对应，又因本题时态为过去时，所以要用助动词 didnt，故答案为 D。4 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 句意：这个问题太难了，我理解不了。词义辨析题。below：在以下；beyond：(范围)越出，(可能性、理解力、能力等)为所不及；over：在之上；without：没有。因此 B 项符合题意。5 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 句意：我，作为你的好朋友，
