2007年上海高考阅读A篇 时间______正确率_______
What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an Official Taste Tester for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a products quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No theres more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this cool field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. Tasting begins with the eyes, he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, Does the product have the color expected from that flavor? Next its time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy working at one cool job.
65. What is John Harrisons job?
A. An official. B. An ice-cream taster. C. A chemist. D. An ice-cream manufacturer.
66. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the cool field, it is helpful to ______.
A. keep a diary of work B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day D. find out new flavors each day
67. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A. He stirs the ice cream. B. He examines the color of the ice cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
68. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
