Question III: Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. (5 pts)

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.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Causes of food spoilage B. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet

C. Commercial production of ice D. Population movements in the nineteenth century

2. The phrase "in season" in paragraph 1 refers to

A. a kind of weather B. a particular time of year

C. an official schedule D. a method of flavoring food

3. During the 1860's, canned food products were

A. unavailable in rural areas B. shipped in refrigerator cars

C. available in limited quantities D. a staple part of the American diet

4. The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to

A. refrigerator cars B. perishables C. growers D. distances

5. Which of the following types of food preservation was NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Drying B. Canning C. Cold storage D. Chemical additives
