5、6、7、8、9题:By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of common citizens in the United States. As the time went on, ice was used in hotels, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861~1865), it came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and one third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, an earlier form of the modern refrigerator, had been invented. 
Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat was undeveloped. The common sense that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting (融化) was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. However, early efforts to save ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors find the ways needed for an efficient icebox. 
But as early as 1803, a Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right way. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would refuse to buy the rapidly melting butter of the other farmers to pay a higher price for his butter, the butter still fresh and hard. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool. 
46. This passage is mainly about ______________. 
A. the importance of the icebox in the mid-nineteenth century 
B. the development and improvement of the icebox 
C. how to make an efficient icebox 
D. an important invention of a Maryland farmer 
47. In paragraph 1, the word “forward-looking”(line 3) probably means ___________. 
A. greedy B. generous

A. ice began to be widely used in hospitals and hotels 
B. ice began to affect the diet of common citizens in America 
C. many American families had the icebox 
D. one third of the ice sold in America went to families for their own use 
49. In the early 19th century, most people believed that ____________. 
A. it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling 
B. the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting 
C. to wrap the ice in blankets would keep the ice from doing its job 
D. they lacked knowledge of the physics of heat 
50. Customers would like to buy Thomas Moore’s butter because _______________.
