11．Centuries ago，man discovered that removing moisture（潮湿）from food helps to store 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．
All foods include water-cabbage and other leaf vegetables contains 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（细菌）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．Various methods are used，but in general，the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun．
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically．The method of such dehydration（脱水）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（切碎的）meat，and fish．
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．

32．According to the text，the open-air method of drying food．C
A．is the one most commonly used today

C．has been known for hundreds of years
D．tends to be unhealthy
33．Bacteria which cause food to go bad．D
A．cannot live in sunlight
B．are killed by drying
C．are in no way dependent on the water contained
D．have their activity greatly reduced by drying
34．Today vegetables are most commonly dried．B
A．on hot and sunny days
B．in hot-air chambers
C．in the sun and wind
D．using the open tray method
35．Housewives like dried foods because they．A

8．I can't remember a winter being as cold as this in Pennsylvania，but I'm sure there were colder days．
    Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute，it's easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must，but then again I often have to push myself to accomplish things．
    People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods．They say they're"under the weather，"not feeling good about this time of year．
    As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday，it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen and my ears were stinging．
    Of course，that doesn't matter to Ricky and Lucy．They have a routine they must go through to find just the fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it is．
    So I wait．
    But this time it was different．As cold as it was，I suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really was．
    Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summer's extremely hot days flashed through my mind．I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon，with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot，burning sun against my face．I reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat．
    I was grateful for the extremes．Without the extremes in my life，I would never appreciate the days when things were just right．Without the extremes，life would be boring．
    It's being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more．Health challenges remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we live．Financial extremes remind us that when things go smoothly it's also time to save for raining days．
    I've come to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that moment．
    Whether it's hot or cold，good health or bad，in the money or out of it，I always
want it to be different．
    I'm tired of being"Under the Weather!"

31．What is the author's attitude towards the extremes in life？A

    A．his dogs wanted to hunt
    B．he wanted to face the cold bravely
    C．his dogs had a routine
    D．he wanted to be different
33．The underlined word"nasty"（Paragraph 4）can be replaced byA．
    A．unpleasant                           B．violent
    C．favorable                           D．unusual
34．At last the author drew a conclusion thatB．
    A．happiness cannot be gained by complaints
    B．things will be different whatever the situation is
    C．happiness will fail to come to you if you can find a reason

    C．Changes should be Expected           D．Weather Information．

15．In March 1987，I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence．It was a very proud moment for me．I'd worked hard for over a year to create it，and the premiere issue （首次发刊） was a real success．
Shortly after we had mailed 25，000copies，I received one in the mail．But this one wasn't as beautiful as the ones we'd sent out．It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors （语法错误） in it．A talented editor had read it carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined．
I felt abashed．A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content （内容）．The stories were good，but the errors this woman had found showed that our magazine was far from being excellent．
At first，I was not satisfied with my editor for not having avoided the mistakes，and dissatisfied with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out．Later，I was dissatisfied with myself for not having employed a better editor．
Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistake．I called the talented editor．I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully．Painful as it was，I accepted responsibility for it．
Then I offered her the job of editing our magazine．The result was a great improvement in it； we could now be very proud of our magazine．
From this I learnt that an upsetting moment can be an opportunity to see the truth，and it can help to prevent one making the same mistakes，and to make"excellence"a reality．

Now I'd like tell you something about my part-time job this summer vacation，in which I worked as the guide in a travel agency．It was the first time that I have earned money on my own．I've realized what hard my parents work to support for the family．I used to keep on ask them for money，but now I'll learn to share worry with my parents．I've learned how to get along well with others．Beside，I have gained some social experience and you have learned something that can't be learned from textbook．In a word，I had a wonderfully and valuable summer vacation．

12．On the site of the 9/11tragedy，Irish university professor Elizabeth Stinger Keefe found an image of hope-a wedding photo of a happy couple and their friends lay among the rubble（瓦砾） of the Twin Towers．As a gesture of goodwill，she decided to try and reunite the picture with either its owner or a relative．
Every year，on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks，she would make an attempt，posting the picture on social media and asking others to share it．Finally，after a remarkable 13years，her work paid off．Thanks to the power of social media，her appeal was more widely shared than ever before．
A man named Fred Mahe called Ms Keefe after the image went viral-to tell her that he was in fact in the picture and that all six people photographed were alive and well．He said that the image belonged to him and had been lost in the rubble after 9/11．The photo was originally taken at a friend's wedding in Colorado，earlier in 2001．Mahe said，"The picture was at my desk in the world Trade Center，Tower Two，on the 77th floor．I never thought it could have been kept safe by Keefe for the last 13years．"
Mahe said that he was in touch with Keefe over the phone and described the conversation as"dedication and persistence"to continue to seek the owner of the photo．"She kept my photo safe for 13years in her favorite Ernest Hemingway book，A Moveable Feast．"Mahe said he wasn't yet at work as the attacks began on 9/11，and，"thankfully never got a chance to go up to my office．"
And Mahe's wife has even invited Keefe to Thanksgiving dinner．Now the pair have reconnected with a piece of their past as Keefe has finally returned the picture to its rightful owner and has made a new friend in the process．
21．Why did Keefe want to keep the picture she found？B
A．Because it was her friend's picture．

9．I travel a lot，and I find out different"styles"of directions every time I ask"How can I get to the post office？"
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names； in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，"Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．"
In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are not usually many landmarks．There are no mountains，so the land is very flat； in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances．In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，"Go north two miles．Turn east，and then go another mile．"
People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map； they measure distance in time，not miles．"How far away is the post office？"you ask．"Oh，"they answer，"it's about five minutes from here．"You say，"Yes，but how many miles away is it？"They don't know．
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes．What happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say，‘Sorry，I have no idea．"But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers"I don't know．"People in Yucatan believe that"I don't know"is impolite．They usually give an answer，often a wrong one．A tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!
