Part IV Reading Comprehension (25 minutes,30 points) Directions: In this part there are 5 passages with 30 questions or inplete statements. Read the passages carefully. Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 61 to 66 are based on the following passage: Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. Fruit is sundried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums, for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration 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 meat, and fish. Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients 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 conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to 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 driedout moisture with boiling water. Questions: 61. Fruit is sundried generally on________. 62. Why are sulphur fumes used before drying some fruits? 63. Where are vegetables monly dried nowadays? 64. If soup requires recognizable pieces of meat, they are________. 65. Dried foods are often used by________, ________and________. 66. Why do housewives like dried foods? Questions 67 to 72 are based on the following passage: Hollywood writers honor Coppola, “Splendor” Sunday, February 22, 2020 Posted: 9:56 AM EST (14:56 GMT) LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) — Hollywood’s screenwriters Saturday snubbed the final installment of the highly acclaimed Lord of the Rings trilogy and instead awarded a key prize to a lowbudget film based on a ic book writer. American Splendor, which revolves around the travails of ics connoisseur Harvey Pekar, won the Writers Guild of America Award for best adapted screenplay, while writer / director Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation, about a pair of mismatched Americans languishing in Tokyo, nabbed the trophy for original screenplay.
