All foods including watercabbage and other leaf vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean (瘦的) meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it isIf this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is controlled. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanicallyThe conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers (室) through which hot air is blown at temperature of about 110 at entry to about 43 at exitThis is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, mincemeat and fish. Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder (圆筒), then put them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passesIn the first process, the dried material comes off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively flakes (薄片)In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as small powderWhere recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients (成分) are dried separately and then mixed. 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 conditionsFor these reasons they are convenient to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage spaceThey are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. 64It can be inferred from the passage that _. Athe fattier fish contain as much water as the lean one Bthe fattier the fish is, the more water it may contain Ca fatty fish holds less water than a lean one Dthe water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat 65The underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by _. Aparticular Bscientific Cusual Dspecial 66Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about drying food? AThe removal of water in food helps prevent it from going rotten. BThe open-air method of drying food has been known for hundreds of years. CIn the course of dehydration, the temperature of hot current coming from entry to exit is gradually going up. DThe process of drying liquids is much more complex than that of drying solid food. 67The last paragraph mainly talks about _. Athe reason why housewives like dried food Bthe general convenience of dried food Cthe methods of storing food Dthe advantages of dried, canned and frozen food (D) Nate suffered a hard blow when he lost his jobHis boss had spoken rudely, “Your services are no longer needed.” Nate left the building filled with despairBy the time he reached home, he was in a deep depressionWhen he entered his house, he blurted out to his wife Sophia, “I lost my jobI am a complete, utter failure.” A tense silence followedThen a smile crept across Sophias face“What great news!” she responded. “Now you can write the book you have always wanted to write.” “But I have no job and no prospect of a job,” YC he objected, completely without hope“If I struggle to be an author, then what will we live on?
