15、arely scheduled event. Then the iceman brought to the back door, on special order, a handsome 2-foot-square cube of cold crystal and everyone in the family Btook a turn at the crank/B. The critical question among us children was, of course, who might lick the dasher. A century or so ago the novelist
16、 Stendhal knew only hand-churned ice cream and, when be first tasted it, ex-claimed, “What a pity this isnt a sin!“Hand-churning is still tops for perfectionists for no power-driven machine has yet been invented that can achieve a comparable texture. Even French Pot, the very best commercial method
17、for making ice cream, calls for finishing by hand.Ice creams are based on carefully cooked well-chilled syrups and heavy custards, added to unwhipped cream. No form of vanilla flavoring can surpass that of vanilla suger or of the bean itself, steeped in a hot syrup. If sweetened frozen fruits are in
18、corporated into the cream mixture instead of fresh fruits, be sure to adjust sugar content accordingly.Make up mixtures for chum-frozen ice creams the day before you freeze, to increasingly fill the container only 3/4 full to permit expansion. To pack the freezer, allow 3 to 6 quarts of chipped or c
19、racked ice to I cup of coarse rock sail. Pack about 1/3 of the freezer with ice and add layers of salt and ice around the container until the freezer is full. Allow the pack to stand about 3 minutes before you start turning. Turn slowly at first, about 40 revolutions a minute, until a slight pull is
20、 felt. Them triple speed for 5 to 6 minutes. If any additions, such as finely cut candied or fresh fruits or nuts are to be made, do so at this point. Then repack and taper off the churning to a- bout 80 revolutions a minute for a few minutes more. The cream should be ready in 10 to 20 minutes, depe
21、nding on the quality.If the ice cream or ice is to be used at once, it should be frozen harder then if you plan to serve it later. Should the interval be 2 hours or more, packing will firm it. To pack, pour off the salt water in the freezer and wipe off the lid. Remove the dasher carefully, making s
22、ure that no salt or water gets into the cream container Scrape the cream down from the sides of the container. Place a cork in the lid and replace the lid. Repack the container in the freezer with additional ice and salt, using the same proporions as before. Cover the freezer with newspapers, a piec
23、e of carpet or other heavy material.The cream should be smooth when served, If it proves granular, you used too much salt in the packing mixture, overfilled the inner, container with the ice cream mixture or turned too rapidly. If you are making a large quantity with the idea of storing some in the
24、deep-freeze, package in sizes you plan on serving: Should ice cream be allowed to melt even slightly and is then refrozen, it loses in volume and even more in good texture.（分数：10.00）(1).In the first paragraph, “took a turn at the crank“ could be paraphrased _.（分数：2.00）A.“helped to mix the ice cream“
25、B.“ate some ice cream“C.“helped break up the ice with a hammer“D.“protected the ice cream from children“(2).According to the writer truly perfect ice cream _.（分数：2.00）A.is now common and inexpensive at most storesB.is only possible with hand laborC.should be melted and then refrozenD.needs to be a s
26、in(3).When ice cream is being hand-churned it is surrounded by a mixture of _.（分数：2.00）A.syrup and creamB.syrup and iceC.salt and iceD.fresh fruit and ice(4).In Paragraph Four, “taper off“ means _.（分数：2.00）A.cut upB.stopC.speed upD.slow down(5).This passage reflects an era when _.（分数：2.00）A.people l
27、iked a little salt in their ice creamB.making ice cream was an occasional form of family entertainmentC.ice cream was not popularD.people did not know now to make cheese with their creamBPassage 2/BFood and drink play a major role in Christmas celebrations in most countries, but in few more so than
28、in Mexico. Many families over the festive season will do little more than cook and ingest a seemingly constant cycle of tortillas, fried beans, meat both roasted and stewed, and sticky desserts for days Bon end/B. Thus does the extended family keep on extending-further and further over their collect
29、ive waistlines.Lucky them, .you might think. Except that Mexicos bad eating habits are leading to a health crisis that most Mexicans seem blissfully unaware of. Obesity and its related disorder, diabetes, are now major health concerns in a country where large rural regions are still concerned more w
30、ith under nourishment than with over-nourishment. In its Bperennial/B rivalry with the United States, Mexico has at last found an area in which it can match its northern neighbor-mouthful for mouthful.The statistics are impressive, and alarming. According to the OECD, Mexico is now the second fattes
31、t nation in that group of 30 countries. A health poll in 1999 found that 35% of women were overweight, and another 24% technically obese, Juan Rivera, an official at the National Institute of Public Health, says that the combined figure for men would be about 55%, and that a similar poll to be carri
32、ed out next year will show the fat quotient rising. Only the United States, with combined figures of over 60%, is head.That situation also varies geographically. Although Mexicans populate the north of their country more sparsely that the south, they make up for it weight-wise. A Study published by
33、the Pan-American Health Organization a month ago showed that in the mostly Hispanic population that lives on either side of the American-Mexican border, fully 74% of men and 70% of women are either overweight or obese.Moreover, even experts have been surprised by how rapidly the nation has swollen.
34、Whereas the 1999 poll showed 59% of women overweight or obese, only 11 years previously that figure was just 33%. Nowhere is the transformation more noticeable then in the prevalence of diabetes, closely linked to over-eating and obesity. In 1968, says Joel, Rodriguez of the Mexican Diabetes Federat
35、ion, the disease was in 35th place as a direct cause of mortality in Mexico, but now it occupies first place, above both cancer and heart disease. With about 6. 5m diabetics out of a population of 10Om, Mexico now has a higher rate than any other large country in the world. Not surprisingly. Mr. Rod
36、riguez argues that Mexico is in the grip of an “epidemic“.Nor does it tax the brain much to work out that the causes of these explosions in obesity and diabetes are the Mexican diet and a lack of exercise. For most Mexicans, food consumption, not just at Christmas but all year round, is an unvarying
37、 combination of refried beans tortillas, meat and refrescos, or fizzy drinks; they consume 101 litres of cola drinks per person per year, just a little less than Americans and three times as much as Brazilians.Meanwhile, the lack of exercise, Mr. Rivera argues, is a symptom of rapid urbanization ove
38、r the past 30 years. Obesity and diabetes rates remain slightly lower in rural areas, indicating that manual labor endures as an effective way to stave off weight gain. In Mexico City, though, pollution and crime have progressively driven people out of the parks and the streets, so most now walk as
39、little as possible-preferably no further than from the valet-parking service to the restaurant. To combat the fat, health professionals say that the country must first realize that it is indeed in the grip of an epidemic. Other diseases, such as AIDS and cancer, have captured most of the publicity i
40、n recent years; obesity and diabetes have been comparatively neglected.But these arc also, as in other developing countries, mainly problems of the urban poor. It is a symptom of their growing prosperity that these parts of the population have, probably for the first time, almost unlimited access to
41、 the greatest amount of calories for the smallest amount of money, But with little knowledge of nutritional values, their diets are now unbalanced and unhealthy.Low-carb products and other dietary imports from the United States have already made an appearance on the posher Mexican supermarket shelve
42、s. They may go into be shopping baskets of the rake-thin and utterly unrepresentative models who dominate the countrys advertising hoardings. But they are still comparatively expensive. For the heaving mass of the population, things may have to get worse before the government, doctors and consumers
43、realize that things have got to start getting better.（分数：10.00）(1).The phrase “on end“ in the first paragraph can be replaced by _.（分数：2.00）A.until all been consumedB.uprightC.continuouslyD.until the last day(2).Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Mexicans ar
44、e eating a lot because of the countrys affluence.B.Mexicans can match Americans in the nourishment of their diet.C.Mexicans only overeat during festive seasons.D.Mexico is now the second fattest nation in this world.(3).Judging by the context, the word “perennial“ in the second paragraph most probab
45、ly means（分数：2.00）A.perpetualB.recurringC.transientD.perilous(4).Which is the most significant cause of mortality in Mexico?（分数：2.00）A.Cancer.B.Heart disease.C.Diabetes.D.Epidemic.(5).It is known from the passage that from 1988 to 1999 the figure of women overweight of obese in Mexico rose by _.（分数：2
46、.00）A.30%B.26%C.35%D.55%BPassage 3/BWhen you are small, all ambitions fall into one grand category: when Im grown up. When Im grown up, you say, Ill go up in space. Im going to be an author. Ill kill them all and then theyll be sorry. Ill be married in a cathedral with sixteen brides- maids in pink
47、lace. Ill have a puppy of my own and no one will be able to take him away.None of it ever happens, of course, of dam little but the fantasies give you the idea that there is something to grow up for. Indeed one of the saddest things about gild-ed adolescence is the feeling that from eighteen on, its
48、 all downhill; I read with horror of an American hippie wedding where someone said to the groom (age twenty) you seem so kinda grown up somehow, and the lad had to go around seeking reassurance that he wasnt, no, early he wasnt. A determination to be better adults than the present incumbents is fine
49、, but to refuse to grow up at all is just plain unrealism.Right, so then you get some of what you want, or something like it or something that will do all right; and for years you are too busy to do more than live in the present and put one foot in front of the other; your goals stretching little beyond the day when the boss has
