10.Before fridges,homes usually had ice boxes.But another way to keep food cool without electricity is to use an evaporative (蒸气) cooler.It is easy to make and does not even use ice.
A common design is a tall box with several shelves inside.The shelves are pieces of metal with many small holes through them.The sides of the box are covered with pieces of thick cloth.Containers of water are placed at the top and bottom of the cooler.The ends of each piece of cloth lie in the water so the cloth stays wet.
Put the cooler in the open air but not in the sun.Air will pass through while the inside of the box will stay several degrees cooler than the outside.This can keep foods fresh for a short time.
The best way to prepare foods for storage (储存) is at harvest time.Place the harvested items on a clean surface,but not on the ground.Fruits and vegetables must be cool from field heat before they are stored.A good idea is to harvest foods either early or late in the day,then leave them to cool naturally.Do not remove outer leaves from fruits and vegetables before storage.
Some fruits and vegetables must be stored at zero to four degrees Celsius.Any colder,and they might be damaged.Others need four to eight degrees,and still others above eight degrees.Cover the items in plastic once they reach the right"critical temperature"for storage.

28.What is an evaporative cooler?D
A.An ice box used to contain things.
B.An electrical container to hold things.
C.A small box made of cloth to contain food.
D.A tall box used to cool food without ice or electricity.
29.The second paragraph is mainly aboutC.
A.the several uses of an evaporative cooler   
B.the working principle of an evaporative cooler
C.the way an evaporative cooler is made     
D.ways on how to use an evaporative cooler
30.Which of the following is NOT a step in storing foods according to the passage?B
A.Put the harvested items on a clean surface.
B.Remove outer leaves from vegetables and fruits.
C.Harvest foods either early or late in the day.
D.Cool fruits and vegetables before storage.
31.The underlined"critical temperature"in the last paragraph refers to a temperature ofD.
A.zero to four degrees             
B.four to eight degrees
C.at least eight degrees            
D.the suitable degrees.

29.C.段落大意题.由本段Containers of water are placed at the top and bottom of the cooler.The ends of each piece of cloth lie in the water so the cloth stays wet.可知作者在告诉我们制作这个东西的步骤,故选C
30.B.细节理解题.由第四段Do not remove outer leaves from fruits and vegetables before storage可知储存时不需要去掉叶子,B错误,故选B
31.D.由前几句Some fruits and vegetables must be stored at zero to four degrees Celsius.Any colder,and they might be damaged.Others need four to eight degrees,and still others above eight degrees可知说的是不同的水果蔬菜适宜的储存温度不一样,因此此处是指适合的温度,故选D

19.Re-gifting only with care
At this busiest gift-giving time of the year,many of us wonder what to do with the unwanted presents we get.Is it all right to re-gift--to give the unwanted present to someone else?
A gift is a symbol of what a relationship means to us.The best gifts meet the needs or satisfy the desires of the receiver.A gift should be about pleasing the other person,not showing off the taste,wealth or power of the giver.We should give with the other person,not ourselves in mind.
Still,a friend,colleague or family member who knows us well might now and then buy us something that is the last thing we'd buy for ourselves.People in long-term relationships can be surprised at the choices in clothes,music or gadgets(小玩意) made by their friends or relatives.
Re-gifting creates a dilemma because we don't want to hurt the feelings of the gift-giver,but we also feel it's wasteful not to use something that might benefit someone else.
Re-gifting avoids waste and repays a debt of gratitude we owe to someone else,but it presents the risk that the original giver will be hurt if she or he discovers what we did.
Following are a few guidelines for re-gifting:
--Don't use the gift.
--Re-gift soon,so you don't risk re-gifting to the original giver.
--Make sure that the new receiver doesn't know the original giver or is unlikely to run into
him or her.
If there's a possibility that the original giver could learn about the re-gift or if he or she expects to see you wearing the gift,consider asking for permission.Let him or her know how much you appreciate the thought behind the gift.A person who understands that a gift is intended to be pleasing will understand.As long as the person who gave the unwelcome gift doesn't mind or won't find out,you can re-gift with a clear conscience.Besides,you can be sure that at least one of the gifts you've received was given originally to someone else.

A.that can benefit someone else          
B.that you want to buy for yourself
C.that is a necessity for your friend

20.It was Saturday morning.I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room.I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own.I remember my own feelings when I was 13.I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间) when he was sharing a room with his younger brother,Robot.He said,"Mum,Can I please have a room of my own?I could use Jeff's.He won't mind."
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest.But would he mind?The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks.As close as we were,though,the time came when Jeff needed a door between us.His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family.I no longer could-or should-know everything about him.
It turned out that getting Jeff's permission was easy.He said,"Of course,Mum,it would be selfish of me to hold on to it."Then his voice softened,"Mum,I won't be living at home again-you know that."Behind his glasses,his eyes were lit with all the love.There were no door closed here-they had all opened up again.
As John and I were cleaning the room,I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever.I looked at the room and,in my heart,I let it go.To hold on would be,as Jeff said,selfish.Now it was time for John,shouldering through the door,his eyes bright with promise of independence,to disappear behind the door.It was time for letting go to happen again.
45.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.John was moving to live with his brother.
