9.B

10.D

11.A文章介绍了冰箱的发展历史。8.C推理判断题。根据第一段第一句Bythemid-nineteenthcentury,theterm“icebox”hadenteredtheAmericanlanguage可知，“icebox”变成美国语言的一部分可能是1850年以前的某个时候。故选C。9.B细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句Makinganefficienticeboxwasnotaseasyaswemightnowsuppose.Intheearlynineteenthcentury,theknowledgeofthephysicsofheat,whichwasessentialtoascienceofrefrigeration,wasundeveloped.可知缺乏对热物理学的了解使它很难建立一个高效的冰箱。故选B。10.D词义猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句Oneadvantageofhisicebox,Mooreexplained,wasthatfannerswouldnolongerhavetotraveltomarketatnightinordertokeeptheirproducecool.可知Moore设计的冰箱相当成功。可知答案为D。11.A主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章介绍了冰箱的发展历史。故选A。三、阅读理解18.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。TheroyalfamilyisapartofBritishhistoryandculturalidentity.
