bacteria, molds, and yeast - that cause food to spoil Refrigeration produces few changes in food, so meats, fish, eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables keep their original flavor, color, and nutrition Before artificial refrigeration was invented, people stored perishable food with ice or snow to lengthen its storage time Preserving food by keeping it in an ice-filled pit is a 4,000-year-old art Cold storage areas were built in basements, cellars, or caves, lined with wood or straw, and packed with ice The ice was transported from mountains, or harvested from local lakes or rivers, and delivered in large blocks to homes and businesses Artificial refrigeration is the process of removing heat from a substance, container, or enclosed area, to lower its temperature The heat is moved from the inside of the container to the outside A refrigerator uses the evaporation of a volatile liquid, or refrigerant, to absorb heat In most types of refrigerators, the refrigerant is compressed, pumped through a pipe, and allowed to vaporize As the liquid turns to vapor, it loses heat and gets colder because the molecules of vapor use energy to leave the liquid The molecules left behind have less energy and so the liquid becomes colder Thus, the air inside the refrigerator is chilled Scientists and inventors from around the world developed artificial refrigeration during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries William Cullen demonstrated artificial refrigeration in Scotland in 1748, when he let ethyl ether boil into a partial vacuum In 1805, American inventor Oliver Evans designed the first refrigeration machine that used vapor instead of liquid In 1842, physician John Gorrie used Evans's design to create an air-cooling apparatus to treat yellow-fever patients in a Florida hospital Gorrie later left his medical practice and experimented with ice making, and in 1851 he was granted the first U.S patent for mechanical refrigeration In the same year, an Australian printer, James Harrison, built an ether refrigerator after noticing that when he cleaned his type with ether it became very cold as the ether evaporated Five years later, Harrison introduced vapor-compression refrigeration to the brewing and meatpacking industries Brewing was the first industry in the United States to use mechanical refrigeration extensively, and in the 1870s, commercial refrigeration was primarily directed at breweries German-born Adolphus Busch was the first to use artificial refrigeration at his brewery in St Louis Before refrigeration, brewers stored their beer in caves, and production was constrained by the amount of available cave space Brewing was strictly a local business since beer was highly perishable and shipping it any distance would result in spoilage Busch solved the storage problem with the commercial vapor- compression refrigerator He solved the shipping problem with the newly invented refrigerated railcar, which was insulated with ice bunkers in each end Air came in on the top, passed through the bunkers, and circulated through the car by gravity In solving Busch's spoilage and storage problems, refrigeration also revolutionized an entire industry By MÃ ĐỀ / VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 1891, nearly every brewery was equipped with mechanical refrigerating machines The refrigerators of today rely on the same basic principle of cooling caused by the rapid evaporation and expansion of gases Until 1929, refrigerators used toxic gases - ammonia, methyl chloride, and sulfur dioxide - as refrigerants After those gases accidentally killed several people, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) became the standard refrigerant However, they were found to be harmful to the earth's ozone layer, so refrigerators now use a refrigerant called HFC 134a, which is less harmful to the ozone Question What is the main reason that people developed methods of refrigeration? A They needed to slow the natural processes that cause food tospoil B They wanted to improve the flavor and nutritional value of food C They needed a use for the ice that formed on lakes and rivers D They wanted to expand the production of certain industries Question The word “perishable” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A uncooked B of animal origin C highly nutritious D capable of spoiling Question What can be inferred from paragraph about cold storage before the invention of artificial refrigeration?

A John Gorrie B William Cullen C Oliver Evans D Adolphus Busch Question 11 The word “it” in paragraph refers to A printer B type C refrigerator D ether Question 12 The word “constrained” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A restricted B spoiled C improved D alternated Question 13 According to the passage, the first refrigerated railcar used what material as a cooling agent?

A Industrial growth during the 1940's attracted large numbers of people to the West B The military drew people away from civilian jobs during the 1940's C California dominated the economic growth of the West during the Second World War D The West experienced gradual and steady economic growth from 1900 to 1940 Question 23 The word "triggered" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A generated B was connected to C interfered with D illuminated Question 24 Why does the author mention “the gold and silver rushes of the 1850's and 1860's” in the first paragraph? A As causes of gradual population growth B As contrasts to late patterns of population growth C As examples of western population booms D As illustrations of a market economy Question 25 According to the passage, the depression of the 1930's caused which of the following? A A creation of more job opportunities B A growth in immigration from abroad C A lack of population growth in the West D The building of new suburbs Question 26 The word “it” in paragraph refers to A expansion B Denver C manufacturing D the Pacific coast Question 27 The passage suggests that industrialization in the West led to all of the following EXCEPT A An increase in school construction B A reduction in the price of land C Improved access to doctors D An increase in the number of banks Question 28 It can be inferred from the passage that the principal cause of California’s population surge between 1940 and 1950 was A the increased availability of land B people’s desire to live in a warm, coastal climate C the industrial mobilization necessitated by the Second World War D overcrowding in urban areas in other regions of the United States Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that is CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined part in each of the following questions MÃ ĐỀ / VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Question 29: With the dawn of space exploration, the notion that atmospheric conditions on Earth may be unique in the solar system was strengthened A outcome B continuation C beginning D expansion Question 30: Roget's Thesaurus, a collection of English words and phrases, was originally arranged by the ideas they express rather than by alphabetical order A restricted B as well as C unless D instead of Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks Schools exams are, generally speaking, the first kind of test we take They find out how much knowledge we have gained But they really show how intelligent we are?
