A.byvaryingitschemicalcomposition

B.byturningitintoasolidlump

C.whilekeepingitsstructureunchanged

D.whileretainingitsliquidform

【答案與解析】

21．A根據(jù)第一段第二句話“Someresearchersthinktheyhavetheanswer,

anditcomesdowntothestructureofthefood,notitschemicalcomposition

—afindingthatcouldhelpridsomeprocessedfoodsofchemical

preservatives.”這一新發(fā)現(xiàn)可以幫助某些加工食品擺脫防腐劑。這就是研

究的重要意義，所以答案是A。

22．B根據(jù)第三段最后兩句話Thebacteriawhichmakethefoodgobad

prefertoliveinthewateryregionsofthemixture.“Thismeansthatincream,

thebacteriaarefreetogrowthroughoutthemixture,”hesays.使食物變壞的

細(xì)菌喜歡生活在這種混合物水域內(nèi)，這些細(xì)菌在奶油這種混合物中可以

自由生長。B項(xiàng)細(xì)菌在奶油中繁殖比在黃油中容易，就是正確答案。

23．D根據(jù)最后一段第一句話。“Theresearchersarealreadyworking

withfoodcompanieskeentoseeiftheirproductscanbemaderesistantto

bacterialattackthroughalterationstothefoodstructure.”Alterationstothe

food?sstructure。選D。而且文章第一段說：奶油比黃油壞得快歸因于食

物的結(jié)構(gòu)。那么要保鮮，要讓它壞得慢當(dāng)然是要改變結(jié)構(gòu)了。A、B、C

都是文中沒有提到的內(nèi)容。

24．C要從所有格、單復(fù)數(shù)、位置、意義等方面上找答案，因?yàn)樵撛~只

會指代前面出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容。colonies是復(fù)數(shù)名詞，前面出現(xiàn)的復(fù)數(shù)名詞有

thebacteria和compartments，答案在CD里面。再看文中第四段第一二句

話“Whenthesituationisreversed,thebacteriaarelockedawayin

compartmentsburieddeepintheseaoffat.Trappedinthisway,individual

coloniescannotspreadandrapidlyrunoutofnutrients.”如果情況相反，細(xì)

菌困于間隔中，位于脂肪內(nèi)部，如果是這樣的話，單個(gè)的細(xì)菌種群就不

能展開，并且會很快耗盡養(yǎng)料。所以colonies是bacteriacommunities。

25．D根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話“Thekeywillbetodothiswhilekeeping

thesaladcreamliquidandnotturningitintoasolidlump.”關(guān)鍵是這樣做時(shí)

要使沙拉醬保持液態(tài)狀態(tài)，而不是把它變成固態(tài)塊狀。retaining和

keeping是同義轉(zhuǎn)換。

whetheritistheuniformofanelevatoroperatorortheuniformofafive-star

general.”美國人為自己的不同與個(gè)性感到自豪，但是他們竟然罕見地尊

重穿制服的人，不論是電梯操作員還是五星上校，只要穿著制服，他們

都很尊重，故答案為B。

27．A根據(jù)第二段第二句話“Peoplehavebecomeconditionedtoexpect

superiorqualityfromamanwhowearsauniform.”我們可知人們易認(rèn)為穿

制服的人工作質(zhì)量更高。故答案為A。

28．D根據(jù)第二段最后一句話“Whateasierwayisthereforanurse,a

policeman,abarber,orawaitertoloseprofessionalidentitythantostepout

ofuniform?”我們可知制服是專業(yè)身份的象征。

29．C根據(jù)第四段第一句話“Primaryamongtheargumentsagainst

uniformsistheirlackofvarietyandtheconsequentlossofindividuality

experiencedbypeoplewhomustwearthem.”我們知道制服的缺點(diǎn)就是喪

失個(gè)性。

30．D由“practicalbenefits”“argumentsagainst”“practicalproblems”可知

本文講的是制服的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。

【解析】

本文講的是友誼，友誼是責(zé)任。足總和先引入友誼這個(gè)話題，闡明了友

誼是什么，朋友是什么，我們碰見不開心的事情時(shí)，可以第一時(shí)間向朋

友傾訴。但是，我們不能一直單方面地向朋友索取而不加回報(bào)，我們應(yīng)

該在他們遇到困難時(shí)以同樣地姿態(tài)幫助他們，安慰他們。此外，我們還

要幫助一些做出錯(cuò)誤選擇的人會對正軌。這些都是我們的責(zé)任，我們在

幫助朋友的過程中也能獲得成長，這就是說友誼是甜甜的責(zé)任。

【解析】

本文講的是要愛工作。第一段作者先講了許多人每天就是完成自己的工

作，并不愛自己的工作，然后說出自己的觀點(diǎn)；我們都要愛自己的工

作。首先，我們要將工作看作是學(xué)習(xí)的絕佳機(jī)會，我們可以學(xué)習(xí)到很多

新的知識；其次，我們可以在工作的過程中交到許多朋友。從朋友的身

上發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的缺點(diǎn)，然后逐一改正。最后如果我們愛自己的工作的話，

工作也會給我們帶來一些驚喜，如升職加薪，但這一切物質(zhì)回報(bào)都不比

每天過得快快樂樂來得重要。
