38、which method you choose, youve probably come across a thin, white skin that lies between the shell and the egg inside.In some situations this “skin” can help you easily peel away the shell.In others, it just sticks to everything, making the whole job more intractable.First of all, this skin is actua

41、make the inner membrane less apparent? It mostly depends on how you cook the eggs.If youre looking to fully cooking your hardboiled eggs not softboiled one, or somewhere in between there are a couple of things you should know.First, dont use the freshest eggs.Fresh egg whites bond more easily to the
42、 inner membrane than older eggs do, and this is what were trying to avoid.And second, understand that according to the seasoned recipe and food tester Kenji, there is no simple method to avoid that membrane.But starting the eggs off in a pot of hot water (vs.cold water) will seriously improve your c

44、table” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMeaningful. BFlexible.CPractical. DChallenging.解析：选D词义猜测题。根据上文中的“In some situations this skin can help you easily peel away the shell.In others, it just sticks to everything, making the whole job more”可知，在一些情况下，这层膜能帮助你轻松地剥掉鸡蛋壳，但在其他情况下，它却粘在鸡蛋上，使得剥掉鸡蛋壳更加困难。由此可知，画线词与上文的“easi
45、ly”意义相反，应是“难对付的”，与challenging“富于挑战性的”意思相近。39Which statement may the author agree with?AMembranes are typical of egg whites.BMembranes act as a protector of eggs.CThe inner structure of eggs is changing daily.DThe chalazae can only be seen in certain eggs.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“this skin is actually a pr

48、nd this is what were trying to avoid.”以及“But starting the eggs off in a pot of hot water (vs.cold water) will seriously improve your chances to easily peel away that inner membrane.”可知，煮鸡蛋的时候尽量不要用最新鲜的鸡蛋，因为新鲜鸡蛋的蛋白更容易与内层蛋白质膜黏合在一起，这样会比较难剥。但是开始煮鸡蛋时用热水而不是冷水的话，会提高你轻松剥掉内层蛋白质膜的可能性。由此可推知，冷水煮鸡蛋会增加剥鸡蛋的难度。CDepr

62、出，开头第一段提出话题，中间三段介绍研究成果，最后第五段总结并提出新的研究方向。 DFeeding 5,000 people every month is a tall order. For Lauren Puryear single mother, fulltime mental health therapist, and founder of the nonprofit For the Love of Others the secret ingredient is coupons (优惠券).

65、explains. Her clipping talents save between 250 and 1,000 per grocery trip. Considering that shes on track to serve her 60,000th meal by the time she turns 30 in September, those savings are huge. _ Most of the preparation work starts at home, in Woodbridge, Virginia.

68、a store, the cashiers will look at me like Im crazy，” she says about her giant shopping lists and the coupons that go with them. _Lastly, the freshly cooked food will be offered to the homeless immediately.Puryear inherited her passion for culinary giving from her grandmother Marion Smith. When Smit
69、h saw panhandlers (街头乞丐) on the streets of Paterson, New Jersey, she would offer to buy them food instead of giving them money.Puryear got into the act when she was ten. If there were leftovers from dinner, Smith would put them in a container and give her granddaughter instructions: “Now run outside
70、 and bring this to the homeless man on the street.” When Puryear founded her nonprofit, she chose the name For the Love of Others to honor her grandmother, who passed away in 2012. “Love was just the central core of her being，” Puryear says.Nana would certainly be proud of her granddaughters efforts
71、 and her impact. At one meal in Baltimore, three boys asked if they could take extra sandwiches. “Well eat this today, but well be hungry tomorrow，” one said. Puryear let them take five each. The boys crying mother thanked Puryear, explaining how she uses her entire paycheck for the hotel room where
72、 they live. They never know what they will eat day to day.“Stories like that, thats why we do what we do，” Puryear says. “To know that something as simple as couponing, which takes a couple of hours out of my day, can help somebody eat for three or four days thats amazing to me.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了L

74、otisserie chickens with vegetables, meaty sandwiches”“serving hearty dishes”“She offers them different kinds of food”可知，作者之所以说Puryear的食物本身令人印象深刻是因为其种类的多样性。故选D。46What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?APuryear feeds thousands at a very low cost.BPuryear is very good at bargaining with
