参考答案
试题解析
1.通读句子，先确定段落的中心词。原文中出现最多的词是jar（罐子）。
2.查找有无关键的顺序提示词，如：firstly，secondly等或者举例子的“for example”
D句中出现的“follow these few simple steps.”提示下面的句子是介绍步骤，则可译判断为是第一句。
而G句中的“First”提示我们这是在介绍第一个步骤。G中介绍把盖子放进水里煮，而E句中的盖子煮沸，则能帮我们把两句话联系起来。
A-F-B顺序已知，只剩H和C，根据句意，可确定C是结尾。
翻译：琳达·米勒把桃子保存了好几年，如果你遵循以下几个简单的步骤，你也可以。首先检查瓶子是否有裂缝或碎片，然后把盖子放入沸水中消毒。盖子煮沸时，用热的肥皂水洗罐子和瓶身。接下来，把煮沸的热桃子和糖浆（糖浆）放入热的消毒罐中。只要罐子在顶部空间半英寸内装满，就把罐子边缘擦干净，立即用热盖盖住罐子，然后把罐子放到蒸笼里。蒸20分钟后，把罐子从蒸汽浴中取出。罐子冷却后，你可以储存到需要的时候。桃子会保持新鲜好几年。
