27、ied, this cooks the fastest Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top Its easier to storeDisadvantages: Water can boil away until the pan is dry, but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food, this should not happen
28、You cannot see the food cooking from the top It doesnt supply a dish for cooking riceFor serious users of steamers, I recommend having one of each version If you just want to try it, get the folding stainless-steel type56Why did the author carry out the survey?ATo inform people of different steamers

33、 the first motor “My goodness Andre!” I said His hand seized the big nose, moving it away from the tube of the motor, guiding the sharks head up as it rose out of the water Andres hand held the nose, touching it gently No one spoke No one breathed The moment seemed endless In fact, it lasted less th
34、an five seconds before Andre pulled his hand backStill nobody spoke Then Andre smiled and said: The first time was an accident I was just trying to move the shark away from the motor Sharks are attracted to motors by rheir electrical signals and have a habit of biting them to see if they are eatable
35、 Andre has worked with great white sharks for years My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted itNearly every encounter （遭遇） we had had with the great whites had bee

37、s normal food Back then, we thought that once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesnt return for a second bite60The author said, My goodness!

40、e a uniquely interesting job They are in many ways just like archaeologists （考古学家） digging up the physical history of people and events The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behindThe English language, in particular, is a

44、beginning is a puzzle even to this day Even its spelling is not entirely consistent-unless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word Etymologists have been able to narrow OKs origin down to a likely, although not certain, source（来源） It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Bure
45、ns run for president in 1840 His nickname was Old Kinderhook What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching
46、 for the initial source However, it is clear that OKs popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it hasbeen most clearly linked63 The author mentions the words like croissant in Paragraph 2 to indicate A words have changed a lot in the two languagesB what English-l

But the evidence is often described as uncertain, forcing scientists to base their points of view almost as much on intuition（直觉）as on scienceWhen historians and philosophers of science listen to
51、these questions, some conclude that science may not be able to solve all these problems any time soon The unknowns can grow into riddles that are impossible to solve Because of the unstable and changing state of the earths atmosphere, for example, scientists have struggled for centuries to predict t
