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, 
All rights reserved: Đỗ Bình, THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 3/5 Đề 20 
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 population 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. As 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 heavily 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. 
Question 35. What does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. Causes of food spoilage. B. Commercial production of ice. 
C. Population movements in the nineteenth century. 
D. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet.

A. unavailable in rural areas B. available in limited quantities 
C. shipped in refrigerator cars D. a staple part of the American diet. 
Question 38. It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use_____________. 
A. before 1860 B. before 1890 C. after 1900 D. after 1920 
Question 39. The word” them” in second paragraph refers to_____________.

 Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and 
overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of 
autumn in the Catskills. 
 These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are 
famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that 
sprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New 
York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 
1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of 
outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start 
touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, 
however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more 
distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskill hotels closed in the 1970s, but 
some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today's visitors. 
 Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing 
colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep 
farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is 
an excellent site for spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the 
Office of Public Information. 
Question 55: What is the author's main purpose in this passage? 
A. to promote the Catskills as a vacation destination. 
B. to introduce visitors to famous Catskills entertainers.
