Most of the time these oils are used as food, especially in cooking. 16 For example, oils are used in paint and in cleaning products like soap.      ‎17 A machine called a press (压榨机)is often used. Sometimes it is surprising to learn how much oil the seeds contain. Sesame, cotton and sunflower seeds, for example, all contain at least fifty percent oil.     Soybean is an important seed around the world, but it is only twenty percent oil. So chemicals are needed to release oil from soybeans.‎ The first step in pressing the oil from seeds is to crush（碾碎；榨）the seeds between two stones. The crushed seeds are then put into a cloth bag and the bag is hung up.      18     ‎ ‎ But some oils will remain in the crushed seeds inside the bag. The easiest way to get the rest of the oil out is to place heavy rocks on the crushed material.          19 Small presses are important in areas where electricity or gasoline cannot be used. They are also a good way to test if a local market for oils exists.      Small batch presses can be made of local materials. Their cost is low. They are not difficult to operate. And they are easy to repair. The small presses produce good quality oils.   20 And getting all the oil from the seeds can be difficult.  A．But sometimes they have other uses.‎ B. Oils are separated from seeds by using pressure C. Oils can also be collected with small, hand-operated machines D. Some of the oil will flow out of the bag and can be collected.‎ E. But the work is hard F. There are many ways we can get oil from plants.‎ G. In this way, the seeds cannot be stolen by little animals. ‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ The back door of the ambulance was suddenly shut and the driver ran to the front, jumped into the seat, and started the engine.

At the age of six, I began to learn to play table tennis from my parents, who are good at it. Since then, I´ve fallen in love with it and spent most of my free time learning to play it. Now I often practice playing table tennis with my friends and coach in my spare time. With time going on, I have learned many practical skills and won the first place in my school. In my opinion, not only does the sport help me build up my body, train my brains and keep me confident, but also it helps me make a lot of friends. Therefore, I like it best of all the sports.‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua
