【题目】 People have always had to find ways to keep food safe to eat. Methods to dry, smoke and salt food were invented thousands of years ago. 【1】 This storage method keeps food safe to eat for long periods of time. Today, canning is one of the most popular methods of storing food.
Clean fruits or vegetables are placed in glass bottles. The food can be put into the bottles either hot or cold. The cold method is used for soft fruits and vegetables that could lose their shape or taste. 【2】 They take up less space in the bottles.
After the food has been placed in glass bottles, boiling water is poured into the bottles to about three centimeters below the top. 【3】 The bottles are placed in a large container filled with warm water that is then brought to a boil.
The water must completely cover the bottles, from three to five centimeters over the top. When the water boils, any air in the bottles will be expelled. The boiling continues for several minutes. Then the bottles are allowed to cool. Finally, they are placed briefly into cold water. 【4】 In other words, a vacuum （真空）is created.
When the bottles are completely cool, notes can be placed on them to identify what is inside. The bottles can then be stored in a cool, dark place at a temperature of between 4℃ and 21℃.
【5】 It is also a good way to store food for six months to a year, or even several years, in case of an emergency. It does not cost much to continue canning every year once the equipment has been purchased.
A.The process of canning is much more recent.
B.This makes a strong barrier to keep the air out.
C.One popular method of canning uses a water bath.
D.Firmer fruits and most vegetables are usually cooked.
E.Canning uses heat to kill bacteria that cause poisons to form in food.
F.Then covers are placed on the bottles, but they are not turned all the way.
G.Canning allows your family to enjoy foods that might not come fresh throughout the year.

【题目】 In 1985, the BMX bike craze was at its height. Every kid in our community was doing tricks on their BMX Raleigh Burner. Every kid apart from two: me and Martin Ogley. Martin was the owner of a purple Raleigh Chopper, and to be seen riding it in 1985 was embarrassing. The kids would knock into Martin mercilessly at every opportunity. And although I didn’t own any kind of bike, I would join in. I knew that by keeping the focus on Martin, I was less likely to be a target.
When other kids asked where my bike was, I would say my BMX was so top-of-the-range that I didn’t ride it on the street. While I knew it would not hold up forever, I wasn’t too worried. The New Year was coming and, after months of complaining to my dad, I was confident that a BMX would appear.
On the New Year, I was disappointed to see Martin playing at the end of our street on what was clearly a brand-new BMX. As we entered the house, my eyes were drawn to where my presents were piled up. There was a bike. A purple Raleigh Chopper. You see, in the week before the New Year, my dad just happened to be drinking in the local working men’s club with Martin’s dad, who was eager to sell an old bike after buying his son a new one.
It wasn’t until I was in my 30s that we were in that same working men’s club and I reminded my dad of that year, the year of Martin Ogley’s Chopper. I thought he wouldn’t remember the whole thing, but he did. And so I asked him the question: How the hell did I end up with Martin Ogle’s Chopper? And my dad smiled and said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world, “Well, because you were mean to Martin.”
【1】Why did the writer join the kids in treating Martin badly?
A.To protect Martin.B.To be friends with them.
C.To get Martin’s bike.D.To avoid being the focus.
【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined words “hold up”?
A.Work.B.Stop.C.Fail.D.Stay.
【3】How did the writer’s father get the purple bike?
A.He bought it from the market.B.He got it from Martin’s father.
C.He asked Martin to give it away.D.He exchanged it with his friend.

【题目】 The rapid growth in skyscrapers worldwide, most of which have large windows, has led to a high demand for window washers. Though the job is well-paid, it is dangerous and accidents are not uncommon. However, if Israel-based start-up Skyline Technologies has its way, the dangerous job may soon be done by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot, with humans supervising (监督) from the safety of the ground.
Much like humans, Ozmo, sitting on platforms hanging from the buildings, uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass. A 3D map of the building’s surface programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully deal with any obstacle it is likely to meet, as it moves up and down the buildings. The robot will self-correct and move around every obstacle that it might have met so as not to break a window.
Unlike present window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses distilled (蒸馏的) water to do the job. Yaron Schwarcz, CEO of Skyline Robotics explains, “We are environmentally friendly.”
Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than its human counterparts. While it presently takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean windows of a 40-storey glass building, the robot will be able to do it in 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers, and only make their jobs safer by making them supervisors, who will be controlling the operation from the safety of the ground.
Whether Ozmo, which is still being tested, does as good a job as humans remains to be seen. If things go well, its creators have much bigger ambitions for Ozmo. Schwarcz told Forbes Magazine, “Window cleaning is just the tip of the iceberg. We plan to replace all tasks that are dangerous and dirty.”
【1】Why is Ozmo friendly to our environment?
A.It uses less soap than other robots.
B.It depends on solar energy.
C.It makes our ecosystem more balanced.
D.It consumes nothing made from chemicals.
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Like cleaning windows, a well-paid job is usually dangerous.
B.Without humans supervising, Ozmo could have performed better.
C.Ozmo can save 400 hours per building compared to a human cleaner.
D.Ozmo can’t be stopped by obstacles with its advanced system.
【3】What does the underlined part “the tip of the iceberg” mean?
A.A small part of a big plan.
B.As cool as the iceberg.
C.The most advanced technology.
D.The leading role in the modern world.
【4】What is the best title for the text？
A.Robots make a difference.
B.Meet Ozmo, the window cleaning robot.
C.Supervise Ozmo, human safe.
D.Intelligent Ozmo becomes known worldwide.

【题目】短文改错
China and Western country may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals. But when it comes to pigs, we somehow reach an agreement that pigs are lazy, ugly, stupidly and shameless. Neither of these words describing pigs are exactly positive. Moreover, the truth is what pigs have some good qualities. And there’s probably no good time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which fell February 5 this year. According to a paper publishing in 2017, pigs can tell between those who treat them well or those who don’t. Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep it in mind-their intelligence, cuteness and patience.
