英语四级阅读理解考前必练及答案Method of Scientific InquiryWhy the inductive and mathematical sciences, after their first rapid development at theculmination of Greek civilization, advanced so slowly for two thousand years—and why in thefollowing two hundred years a knowledge of natural and mathematical science has accumulated,which so vastly exceeds all that was previously known that these sciences may be justlyregarded as the products of our own times—are questions which have interested the modernphilosopher not less than the objects with which these sciences are more immediatelyconversant. Was it the employment of a new method of research, or in the exercise of greatervirtue in the use of the old methods, that this singular modern phenomenon had its origin?Was the long period one of arrested development, and is the modern era one of normal growth?Or should we ascribe the characteristics of both periods to so-called historical accidents—tothe influence of conjunctions in circumstances of which no explanation is possible, save in theomnipotence and wisdom of a guiding Providence?The explanation which has become commonplace, that the ancients employed deductionchiefly in their scientific inquiries, while the moderns employ induction, proves to be toonarrow, and fails upon close examination to point with sufficient distinctness the contrastthat is evident between ancient and modern scientific doctrines and inquiries. For all knowledgeis founded on observation, and proceeds from this by analysis, by synthesis and analysis,by induction anddeduction, and if possible by verification, or by new appeals toobservation under the guidance of deduction—by steps which are indeed correlative parts ofone method; and the ancient sciences afford examples of every one of these methods, or partsof one method, which have been generalized from the examples of science.A failure to employ or to employ adequately any one of these partial methods, animperfection in the arts and resources of observation and experiment, carelessness inobservation, neglect of relevant facts, by appeal to experiment and observation—these arethe faults which cause all failures to ascertain truth, whether among the ancients or themoderns; but this statement does not explain why the modern is possessed of a greatervirtue, and by what means he attained his superiority. Much less does it explain the suddengrowth of science in recent times.The attempt to discover the explanation of this phenomenon in the antithesis of “facts” and“theories” or “facts” and “ideas”—in the neglect among the ancients of the former, and their tooexclusive attention to the latter—proves also to be too narrow, as well as open to the charge ofvagueness. For in the first place, the antithesis is not complete. Facts and theories are notcoordinate species. Theories, if true, are facts—a particular class of facts indeed, generallycomplex, and if a logical connection subsists between their constituents, have all the positiveattributes of theories.Nevertheless, this distinction, however inadequate it may be to explain the source of truemethod in science, is well founded, and connotes an important character in truemethod. A factis a proposition of simple. A theory, on the other hand, if true has all the characteristics of afact, except that its verification is possible only by indirect, remote, and difficult means. Toconvert theories into facts is to add simple verification, and the theory thus acquires the fullcharacteristics of a fact.1. The title that best expresses the ideas of thispassage is[A]. Philosophy of mathematics. [B]. The RecentGrowth in Science.[C]. The Verification of Facts. [C]. Methods of Scientific Inquiry.2. According to the author, one possible reason for the growth of science during thedays of the ancient Greeks and in modern times is[A]. the similarity between the two periods.[B]. that it was an act of God.[C]. that both tried to develop the inductive method.[D]. due to the decline of the deductive method.3. The difference between “fact” and “theory”[A]. is that the latter needs confirmation.[B]. rests on the simplicity of the former.[C]. is the difference between the modern scientists and the ancient Greeks.[D]. helps us to understand the deductive method.4. According to the author, mathematics is[A]. an inductive science. [B]. in need of simple verification.[C]. a deductive science. [D]. based on fact and theory.5.

In the early 1920s, cattle dealers often came to spend the night on Zaifang Street of Nanjimen, the Chongqing southern urban area, which is now under the Yangtze River Bridge. The cattle dealers often drove beef cows to Chongqing along the SichuanGuizhou Road. They spent the night on the south bank, crossed the river the next morning, and drove the cattle to slaughter on Zaifang Street. At that time, two brothers surnamed Ma, bought poorly sold cattle tripe and blood quite cheap, and opened a red soup tripe hot pot restaurant with tripe as the main dish on the southern section of Zaifang Street. This hot pot restaurant imitates the production and eating methods of “Shui Bakuai”, bleaching the tripe, washing and de-stemming it, and seasoning with sesame sauce and

Built for horse，carriage and foot traffic, they were usually poorly cared for and too narrow to accommodate (容纳) automobiles.With the increase in auto production, private turnpike (收费公路) companies under local authorities began to spring up and by 1921 there were 387,000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of 19th century Scottish engineers Thomas Telford and John Mac Adam (for whom the macadam surface is named), whose specifications stressed the importance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no national standards for size, weight restrictions or commercial signs. During W orld W ar I, roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weight of trucks. When General Eisenhower returned from Germany in 1919 after serving in the U.S. Army’s first transcontinental motor convoy (车队), he noted“The old convoy had started me thinking about good two lane highways, but Germany’s Autobahn or motorway had made me see the wisdom of broader ribbons across the land.”It would take another war before the federal government would act on a national highway system. During W orld W ar II, a tremendous increase in trucks and new roads were required. The war demonstrated how critical highways were to the defense effort. Thirteen percent of defense plants received all their supplies by truck and almost all other plants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. The war also revealed that local control of highways had led to a confusing variety of design standards. Even federal and state highways did not follow basic standards. Some states allowed trucks up to 36,000 pounds while others restricted anything over 7,000 pounds. A government study recommended a national highway system of 33,920 miles and Congress soon passed the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1944 which called for strict centrally controlled design criteria.The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century. To build its 44,000mile web of highways, bridges and tunnels, hundreds of unique engineering designs and solutions had to be worked out. Consider the many geographic features of the country--- mountains, steep grades wetlands, rivers, deserts and plains. V ariables included the slope of the land, the ability of the pavement to support the road, the intensity of road use and the nature of the underlying soil. Urban areas were another problem. Innovative designs of roadways, tunnels, bridges, overpasses and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country forever altering the face ofAmerica.Long span segmented concrete cable, stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida and remarkable tunnels like Fort McHenry in Maryland and Mt. Baker in W ashington met many of the nation’s physical challenges. Traffic control s ystems and methods of construction developed under the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world and were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.Today the interstate system links every major city in the U.S. and the U.S. with Canada and Mexico. Built with safety in mind the highways have wide lanes and shoulders dividing medians or barriers, long entry and exit lanes curves engineered for safe turns and limited access. The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S. roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads).By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs and provided people with greater options in terms of jobs access to cultural programs, health care, and other benefits. Above all, the interstates system provides individuals with what they cherish most personal freedom of mobility.The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation’s economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation. More than 75 percent of the nation’s freight deliveries arrive by truck and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle. Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations, motels, restaurants, and shopping centers. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads residential streets expressways and freeways built to support millions of vehicles. The highway system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vision and leadership. The year construction began he said:“Together the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear—United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts.”注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答;1. National standards for paved roads were in place by 1921.2.

In spite of safety considerations, the death rate on interstate highways is still higher than that of other American roads.6. The interstate highway system provides access between major military installations in America.7. Service stations, motels and restaurants promoted the development of the interstate highway system.8-10题在答题卡1上｡Part III Listening Comprehension 35 minutesSection A注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答｡11.

This strange 47 happens every five to eight years. It starts in the Pacific Ocean and is thought to be caused by a failure in the trade winds (信风) which affects the ocean currents driven by these winds. As the trade winds lessen in 48 the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5℃.The warming of the ocean has far-reaching effects.

The first study to compare honesty across a range of communications media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to haunt (困扰) you—appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca New Y ork asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails 21 per cent of instant messages 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent of phone calls.His results to be presented at the conference on human computer interaction in Vienna Austria in April have surprised psychologists. Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.People are also more likely to lie in real time—in an instant message or phone call say—than if they have time to think of a response says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出)responses to an unexpected demand such as “Do you like my dress﹖”Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But given his results work assessment where honesty is a priority might be best done using email.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答｡57.

In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America. Authorities said the undocumented workers illegal status made them open to blackmail (讹诈) by terrorists.Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.Mayor Anderson said those feelings were jus tified to a certain extent. “W e’re saying we want you to work in these places. we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are , and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security especially after Sep. 11then you’re disposable. There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons” Anderson sa id.If Sept. 11 had never happened the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America probably indefinitely. Ana Castro a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation (驱逐出境). Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’ s.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答｡62.

你的家人都喜欢吃什么作文英语五句话
你的家人都喜欢吃什么作文英语五句话全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Food has always been an integral part of my family's life. It's not just about satisfying hunger; it's a way for us to bond, share stories, and create cherished memories together. Each member of my family has their unique preferences and quirks when it comes to their favorite dishes, making mealtime an exciting and diverse experience.Let me start with my father. He's a true connoisseur of spicy cuisine. His love for fiery flavors knows no bounds, and he can often be found adding an extra dash of chili powder or sriracha sauce to his meals. Whether it's a sizzling plate of Szechuan chicken or a bowl of steaming hot curry, his eyes light up with pure delight at the first hint of that tingling sensation on his tongue. I've witnessed him happily sweating through tears as he savors every bite, proclaiming, "The hotter, the better!"In stark contrast, my mother's taste buds lean towards the more delicate and subtle flavors. She's a firm believer in the art of balance, where each ingredient plays a harmonious role increating a symphony of flavors. Her signature dish is a delicate vegetable stir-fry, where she expertly combines crisp veggies with a light soy sauce glaze and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. She takes great pride in presenting a visually appealing and nutritious meal that not only nourishes our bodies but also soothes our souls.My older brother, on the other hand, is an unabashed carnivore. He's the kind of person who would gladly devour a 16-ounce steak without batting an eye. His idea of culinary heaven is a perfectly grilled ribeye, charred on the outside and juicy on the inside, accompanied by a loaded baked potato and a side of sautéed mushrooms. He's a firm believer that a meal isn't complete without a generous serving of protein.As for my younger sister, her love affair with food is a little more whimsical. She's the self-proclaimed "dessert queen" of our family, with an insatiable sweet tooth that knows no bounds. From decadent chocolate lava cakes to light and airy pavlovas, she approaches each sugary treat with childlike wonder and enthusiasm. Her favorite indulgence is a warm, gooey brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – a simple pleasure that never fails to bring a smile to her face.And then there's me, the self-proclaimed "adventurous eater" of the family. I'm always eager to explore new cuisines and experiment with unique flavor combinations. Whether it's trying out a trendy fusion restaurant or recreating an exotic dish from a far-flung corner of the world, I find joy in the culinary journey itself. My current obsession is crafting the perfect bowl of ramen, with a rich, umami-packed broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and an array of toppings that transport me to the bustling streets of Tokyo.Despite our diverse tastes, one thing remains constant – our family meals are always filled with laughter, love, and an abundance of stories to share. It's during these precious moments that we truly connect, putting aside the hustle and bustle of daily life to savor not just the food on our plates, but the company of those we hold dear.In the end, food is more than just sustenance; it's a language that transcends borders and brings people together. And in our household, it's the glue that binds us, creating a tapestry of flavors, memories, and traditions that will be woven into the fabric of our family for generations to come.篇2What Does Your Family Love to Eat? A Delicious EssayFood brings people together like nothing else can. It's not just about nourishment – it's about sharing traditions, expressing love, and creating memories. In my family, food is absolutely central to who we are. From grandma's legendary dumplings to dad's sizzling fajitas, every dish has a backstory and a special place in our hearts. Let me take you on a mouthwatering journey through the culinary loves of my crazy clan!First up, we have to talk about grandma's Hungarian cooking. My grandma emigrated from Budapest when she was just a teenager, and she brought with her a whole treasure trove of Old World recipes. Her chicken paprikash is iconic – thick, vibrant red stew brimming with tender chicken, onions, and those luscious little dumplings she calls "nokedli." I can still picture her sturdy hands carefully rolling out the dough and expertly slicing the tiny nokedli into the bubbling pot. Whenever that paprikash aroma wafts through the house, it feels like grandma's giving us all a big hug.Then there are the pierogies – pillowy pockets of dough stuffed with potato and cheese or sauerkraut. Frying them up with caramelized onions is an act of love. My sister and I used to sit at the kitchen counter and watch in awe as grandma's fingersmoved with lightning speed, pinching and crimping dozens upon dozens of perfect pierogies. These little dumplings represent grandma's journey from Hungary to America, her grit and her devotion to keeping our heritage alive. Biting into one is like getting a warm embrace from the past.On the other side of the family, it's all about my dad's Mexican-American roots. The man is a master of Tex-Mex cuisine! His fajitas are the stuff of legends – sizzling skirt steak that's been marinated to perfection in a secret blend of spices, joined by vibrant peppers and onions on a sizzling cast iron skillet. Hearms each soft flour tortilla on the comal and has everyone assembling their own perfect fajita taco topped with shredded cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, etc. It's a giant messy production, but that's part of the fun.Whenever he busts out the huge outdoor grill and stacks it high with chicken, steak, chorizo and vegetable skewers, you know it's going to be an epic feast. The charcoal aroma, the sizzle of the meat, the smoky flavors... It's basically heaven. And you haven't lived until you've tried his quesadillas – crispy golden tortillas stuffed with melty cheese, chicken, steak, beans, anything and everything good in this world. I'm drooling just thinking about them.My mom has her specialties too, like her famous lasagna. It's a meaty, cheesy masterpiece – layers of noodles, her signature beef and sausage ragu, gooey mozzarella and ricotta, all baked to bubbling perfection. She makes it for every major holiday and it never lasts long! Her chocolate cream pie is another showstopper, with its chocolatey pudding filling, light-as-air whipped cream and crushed Oreo crust. Let's just say I always find room for a slice, or three.No discussion of my family's favorite foods would be complete without pizza night. We have phenomenal pizza places near our house, but there's nothing quite like staying in and whipping up gigantic, carbolicious pies piled high with everyone's favorite toppings. We tend to get...creative with the toppings. My personal favorite is to load it up with spicy Italian sausage, black olives, mushrooms, banana peppers and an obscene amount of mozzarella cheese. Popping that bubbling, oozing masterpiece out of the oven is such a beautiful moment.So there you have it – a delicious tour of my family's culinary obsessions. From Hungary to Mexico to Italy, the common thread is a whole lot of love, tradition and straight-up deliciousness. Food isn't just fuel for us, it's what brings us together. It's how we share our stories, where we come from, thejourneys that made us who we are. And hey, making incredible memories around the table is just the gravy on top (or should I say sour cream on the pierogi?). I feel so lucky to come from a family of amazing cooks who pour their hearts into their recipes.I just hope I can carry on those traditions and keep the food love fest going for generations to come!篇3Everyone in my family has different tastes when it comes to food, but we all agree on one thing - we love eating tasty meals together! My dad is a big fan of grilled meats, especially steak, and he could eat it every night if my mom would let him. He always makes sure to marinate the meat for hours before cooking it on our backyard grill, letting all those delicious seasonings soak in until the steak is super flavorful and juicy.My mom, on the other hand, prefers lighter fare like salads, fish, and pasta dishes. She's really into healthy eating and is always trying out new recipes that incorporate lots of fresh veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains. One of her signature meals is a lemon herb salmon with a quinoa salad on the side - so nutritious but so delicious too! She also makes a mean veggie lasagna that has pretty much every vegetable imaginable layered between those pasta sheets.As for my little brother, he's definitely a picky eater who loves all the kids' classics - chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, pizza, you name it. He'll only eat veggies if they're hidden really well or drowned in cheese sauce. My mom is always trying to sneak things like pureed cauliflower or spinach into his meals. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! He's happiest with a classic cheeseburger and fries in front of him.Me, I'm an adventurous eater who loves trying cuisine from all over the world. My favorite is probably Mexican food - I could eat tacos, burritos, enchiladas, you name it every single day. There's just something about the blend of spices, the fresh salsas and guacamole, the melty cheeses that gets me every time. I also really enjoy Asian dishes like Pad Thai, dumplings, and sushi. Give me all the flavor!Of course, no matter what each person's preferences are, we always make sure to have at least one family meal all together every week. It's a time to reconnect, share stories about our days, and just enjoyeach other's company over a delicious home-cooked meal. Those are the meals I'll remember most when I look back on my childhood - not necessarily what was on the plate, but the loveand laughter surrounding it with my favorite people. A good family meal nourishes the body and soul!。

uation of stability. Thorough washing with soap and water plus careful rinsing in distilled water, and drying, without wiping, in a heated cabinet is a much more dependable procedure. The test samples should be smelled daily, preferably in the morning when the nose is keenest, for the development of a rancid odor. It is essential that the watch glass be kept on the beaker at all times except when actually smelling the sample, and the sample should be smelled immediately after removal from the oven. Usually as the end of the induction period approaches, the sample darkens in color, at which stage organoleptic rancidity soon becomes evident. The oven test is reported as the number of days required for the characteristic rancid odor to manifest itself. Throughout the procedure the utmost care must be exercised not to change in some manner the inherent stability of the sample under test. This involves such wellknown factors as freedom from a n y contamination, particularly metallic, avoiding overheating if the sample nmst be melted for preparatlon, and unnecessary exposure to light. W i t h precautions taken for the elimination of any factors which tend to alter the normal keeping quality, then the stability of the shortening becomes a function of the oven temperature. F o r this reason the temperature must be carefully controlled within narrow limits. Als0, to further the maintenance of a uniform temperature the oven should not remain open any longer than is necessary for inspection of the samples. It is possible to estimate the oven test using peroxide formation as the index. To do this a curve must be plotted showing the course of peroxide formation during the oven test. A n y one kind of fat which has been subjected to the same processing conditions will nearly always develop organoleptic rancidity at a fairly uniform peroxide concentration. The length of time required to reach this concentration is determined by the rate of peroxide formation, which in turn is governed by the stability of the particular sample. Thus, if the peroxide con-
T
requiring a minimum of equipment, the test can be conducted with a reasonable degree of success by persons having a little or no technical knowledge. The result is expressed as "days required to develop rancidity" which is most significant to the biscuit and cracker manufacturer who must always think in similar terms of his products in the field before they reach the consumer. Technical data such as oxygen absorption or peroxide formation are difficult to convey to t h e layman, and at times tax the ingenuity of the chemist for adequate comprehension. The oven test being conducted at a temperature not greatly above normal temperatures is useful for revealing odors and flavors other than rancidity, which may occur either in the shortening itself or in baked pieces containing it. Some fats develop characteristic odors and flavors due to their nature, while other odors may arise from faulty processing or contamination during distribution. The oven test will in many instances accelerate this condition if it is likely to develop as the shortening ages under normal usage. Such factors are not brought out by other accelerated stability tests. Most of you are familiar with the procedure employed, or some variation of it. The oven should preferably be of the convection type capable of maintaining a uniform temperature of _+ .5~ and located in a room free from odors. The temperature most generally used is about 63.0~ Ovens of the forced circulation type can be used without materially changing the results obtained, but tend to make the detection of the initial stages of rancidity development more difficult. A sample weight of 50 grams is a convenient amount. A n ordinary Griffin low form beaker of 250 ml. capacity, with or without lip, provided with a three-inch watch glass for a cover is a suitable container. The glassware must be scrupulously clean. The usual mixture of potassium dichromate and sulphuric acid may be used for cleaning, but it is not necessary. This mixture is not easily removed from glassware and even minute traces of it remaining in containers used for the oven test will certainly lead to erroneous eval.
