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 diet. Growing urban populations 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. All 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.
What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.Causes of food spoilage

听力原文: Switzerland is a land well-known for its beautiful landscape and people generally tend to associate Switzerland with mountains and mountain scenery.
But Switzerland is more than just a land of mountains. It is a country of highly intelligent, resourceful and hardworking people.
The Swiss manufacture precision instruments such as watches, calculators and other specialized goods like typewriters, sewing machines, turbines and generators which are sold to other countries.
They are also able to produce those goods which do not need huge amounts of raw materials. Most of the raw materials used in industry are imported from other countries.
As Switzerland has no sea coast, it has to pay heavily for imported raw materials which have to be sent over long distances and rocky land. For this reason the Swiss are interested only in producing precision products like watches, cameras, and other types of goods which make use of their skill and craftsmanship.
The well-known Swiss watch industry is a good example of this. Small amounts of raw materials are needed but a great deal of skill and precision is needed to produce a little item with so many minute parts.
Foodstuffs, especially milk products, are also processed and exported. Swiss cheese, butter, chocolate and condensed milk are popular in many countries. Swiss exports are sent by rail to neighbouring countries. But, for its overseas business, Switzerland has special arrangements with foreign ports like Amsterdam, Genoa and Rotterdam, through which Swiss goods are exported.

Almost every one now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy 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.

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
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, 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 i850s an American named Gall Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By ]880, 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.
