Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．It tells us how to use a new microwave oven。由文首的“Before you use your new microwave oven, read the instructions carefully”，可以得到本文的主旨是“講述微波爐的使用方法”。 　　2．Defrost, cook or warm food。短文末句的“Under the time are the different functions(功能)．You can press(按)Defrost, Cook, Clock, or Power．You can also warm food by pressing Reheat Times．”這句話是答案的出處。 　　3．First, press the number 2, 3, and 0．Then press Power．Next press the number 7．Finally press Start to begin cooking．由短文中的“Suppose(假設(shè))you want to cook a serving of broccoli for two minutes and forty-five seconds on MEDIUM power(level 5)．First, press the numbers 2, 4 and 5(two minutes, forty-five seconds)．Then press Power．Next, press the number 5．”可以知道若是需要兩分鐘四十秒的時(shí)間來(lái)做菜的話，則是這樣來(lái)操作。由此可知要是做豆角的話，需要用時(shí)兩分鐘三十秒，則應(yīng)按2，3，0這三個(gè)鈕。再根據(jù)前面的說(shuō)明，可不難找到答案。 　　4．Start．由“Under the numbers are and Clear．”和“At last, press Start to begin cooking．”可知這是答案的出處。 　　5．It will clear the display and allow you to start over again．這是文章最后講的一層意思，答案即在“If you make a mistake, press Clear．This will clear the display and allow you to start over again．”一句中。 　　這篇科學(xué)說(shuō)明文淺顯的文字，介紹了微波爐的構(gòu)造并詳細(xì)講述了它的操作使用方法。
