Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1850's an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860's, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890's, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870's, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920's and 1930's.
Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.
What does the passage mainly discuss?
During the 1860's, canned food products were _____.
It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use _____.
The word "them" in the second paragraph refers to _____.
The author implies that in the 1920's and 1930's home deliveries of ice _____.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The Peales were a distinguished family of American artists. Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson, and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale Museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science, it featured paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and devised a method of taxidermy to make the exhibits more lifelike. The muscum's most popular display was the skeleton of a mastodon huge, extinct elephant which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lifes of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His works show the same luminosity and attention to detail that the works of the Dutch masters show. In the late eighteenth century, however, portraiture was the rage, and so Raphaelle Peale found few buyers for his still lifes at the time. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits. James Peale, the brother of Charles Wilson Peale, specialized in miniatures. His daughters Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
What is the main idea of the passage?
The author probably mentions that Washington "tipped his hat to the figures in the picture" to indicate that _____.
For which of the following terms does the author give a definition in the second paragraph?
Which of the following questions about the Peale Museum does the passage NOT supply enough information to answer?
Read the following passage and fill each blank with ONE correct word.
The UK is at a crossroads: we can either become a carbon-neutral country or suffer the consequences. Thankfully, the Government has set out new targets the country to meet by 2050 - but will we be able to come together in time to this deadline?
According to YouGov, only 46% of businesses in the UK have made plans to go carbon neutral by 2050, and a further 31% they have no plans at all to be net carbon neutral.
But since 60% of people want to go greener, in light of the rising energy bills, it's in companies' best interest to go carbon neutral.
As the small percentage of businesses that are already busting carbon emissions, exactly are they doing it? Is it as difficult as companies think? Can other companies follow in their ?
