48、, beans, and mushrooms. When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures.

53、出现中毒症状，所以选项C正确。58Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT _. Asome chemicals Blow temperaturesCsome tiny living things Dcertain natural materials答案B细节理解题。根据第五段第四句“Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing.”可知冰箱里的温度极低温会阻止微生物的生长，因此不可能是导致食物中毒的原因之一。所以选项B正确
54、。59From Paragraph 5，we can learn that _.Amushrooms should not be eatenBvegetables are safer than meat and seafoodCnatural poisons are more dangerous than chemicalsDdifferent types of food should be handled differently 答案D细节理解题。根据第五段，选项A说蘑菇不能吃，而文中是说野蘑菇不能被食用，所以错误；选项B在文中未被提到；选项C说由于吃了本身有毒的食物而中毒的比化学物质导致的

64、ly 157 middle schools in West Virginia.答案D正误判断题。从最后一段的前两句可推知，这157所学校是使用这个舞蹈游戏的学校，而西弗吉尼亚不仅仅只有这157所中学，这可以从第二句话“学校领导希望所有的公立学校使用该游戏”看出来。所以选D项。63The underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph means “ _”Areplace Bchange Cpractise Dstop答案A词义猜测题。从文章最后一段的最后一句话“The game will be part of physical educat
65、ion classes”可推知前一句的意思“该游戏并不是要替代体育健康课程”。故substitute此处意为“代替，替代”，所以选A项。CRarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education.
