Reading Passage 1
The Refrigerator
Many of the conveniences we enjoy in our homes are the result of years of innovation by dedicated inventors. Though we take many of them for granted, some—like the refrigerator— have hugely affected the way we live our lives. Who invented the refrigerator, and how has it evolved over time?
Early Refrigeration
Preserving food has not always been easy. Centuries ago, people gathered ice from streams and ponds and did their best to store it year-round in icehouses and cellars, so they had a ready supply to keep their food cold. Even with ice, people were often limited to eating locally grown foods that had to be purchased fresh and used daily. The Egyptians, Chinese and Indians were some of the early people to use ice in food preservation. In 1626, Sir Francis Bacon was also testing the idea that cold could be used to preserve meat; his chilly experiment caused him to develop pneumonia, from which he died on Easter Day, April 9, 1626.
Even Peter Mark Roget, compiler of Roget’s Thesaurus, studied refrigeration, suggesting a design for a “frigidarium.” Progress took time, however, and snow and ice served as the primary means of refrigeration until the beginning of the 20th century.
Iceboxes
According to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, one of the next steps between storing ice underground and modern refrigeration was the icebox. Introduced in 19th century England, wooden iceboxes were lined with tin or zinc, and filled with sawdust, seaweed and other materials to keep the ice from melting. Drip pans caught the water that melted and had to be emptied daily.
In the United States, warm winters in 1889 and 1890 caused ice shortages that fueled the need to create a better refrigeration system. An Encyclopedia Britannica entry attributes the beginning of commercial refrigeration to Alexander C. Twinning, an American businessman, in 1856. Later, an Australian named James Harrison reviewed the refrigerator used by Twinning, and another made by physician John Gorrie, and developed vapor-compression refrigeration for the brewing and meatpacking industries.
In 1859, France’s Ferdinand Carré created a more advanced system that used ammonia as a coolant; the earlier vapor-compression machines used air. The ammonia worked well, but was toxic if it leaked. Engineers worked until the 1920s to come up with better alternatives, one of which was Freon.
书没有封皮，送来的时候比较脏了而且封面有很多划痕，但是应该是正版吧毕竟当当自营内容还是挺好的
和描述的一样
自我感觉还不错
真经不是真题……
真的很实用
书皮背压到了
书不错哦买的第二本啦
阅读真经5也太不厚道了，买了书后，做着题到句子理解判断题后看解析，每看一篇解析都需要付费！也太不人性化了，变相赚钱这是，哪有这样子操作的。
不错很好。
内容不错 又买了两本
就是没好好做真经5，7就差一点，有空好好看看！
据说比雅思真题要简单，作为真经的配合书，看完那些技巧之后来做这本，掌握技巧后再去做真题。
书很厚实，题型涵盖全面。印刷清晰，纸质挺厚的。最新版的更新了一些题目。
