The idea of using your dishwasher to cook a meal has been around since the ’80s. It’s been used to cook _1_ , mainly fish. The Times ran a recipe on dishwasher-cooked salmon back in 1986. The recipe said to _2_ the salmon in foil then run it through a full cycle without using any soap.
That sounds like a fun dinner-party _3_ but not exactly a good way to _4_ your carbon
Emission. What’s more, using water and electricity to run a load without _5_ cleaning sounds like a waste of time and money.
But a recent survey suggested the technique could be making a _6_ It may have a little something to do with the change to the original cooking technique that could prove to be _7_ to a eco-friendly, convenience-focused generation in the kitchen.

The book, “Cucinare in lavastoviglie” suggests recipes for meals cooked in airtight _8_ during a regular dish cycle, with detergent, including one for cooking pasta with vegetables in the dishwasher. A little salmon in a jar cooked next to last night’s dirty dishes doesn’t sound all that _9_.Initially, you may feel _10_ by such an idea, but when you get past that stage, it does make sense for the busy parent or college student looking to save time.

解题思路

Passage 7
解题思路
1.[G]空格前的动词cook提示空格处应为名词作其宾语。句末的mainly fish提示该名词应该是一种食物，据此
在词库中选用protein。
2.[L] 根据空格前的不定式标记to判断空格应为动词原形。空格所在句描述用洗碗机烹煮三文鱼的方法，foil提示三文鱼是用锡纸“包”起来的，词库中动词wrap符合语义。
3.[A] a fun dinner-party…作sounds like的宾语，宾语部分缺少中心名词。“用洗碗机烹煮三文鱼”算是一种烹调技巧，因此选用trick一词，a fun dinner-party trick意为“让宴会变得有趣的小花招”。
4.[D]根据空格前的不定式to判断空格应为动词原形。a good way提示不定式短语应该是说具体的好处，故从词库中选取decrease一词，表示“减少二氧化碳的排放量”。
5.[K]空格所在句不缺少主谓宾成分，由此推断此处可能填人副词，用以强调without cleaning anything。词库中actually符合语义。
6.[F]空格前的a提示此处填人名词。上一段讲到使用洗碗机煮食费时费钱，本段开头的but提示，此处讲的是现在人们对于这一煮食方法的不同看法。名词库中的comeback符合语义，表示“洗碗机煮食的做法再次流行起来”。
7.[E] prove to be后可接名词、形容词或分词。洗碗机煮食方法改良后，更可能博得注重eco-friendly, convenience-focused的一代人的好感，题库中attractive符合句意。
8.[C]空格位于形容词airtight和名词jars之间，据此推断应填人名词、形容词或分词，与airtight并列修饰jars。词库中sealed与airtight近义，填人文中表示“密封的罐子”，符合语义。
9.[B]空格需要一个形容词，与副词词组all that"到那种地步”一起跟在动词doesn’t sound后作表语。根据该句的主语“紧挨昨晚的脏碗碟煮熟的三文鱼”，可推知这样煮熟的三文鱼让人没胃口。因此选用appetizing。
10.[J]空格位于系动词feel之后，应填人名词、形容词或分词。前半句讲人们刚开始对用洗碗机煮鱼的感受，后半句指出，对于那些繁忙的父母或想节省时间的大学生而言，这种做法是明智的。but前后内容形成对比，词库中的shocked符合文中语境。
