24、Five thousand years ago, carrots only grew in Afghanistan (阿富汗) and most were purple. Only a few were orange as they are today! Farmers in the Netherlands (荷兰) were looking for a fruit or vegetable to symbolize their king, William of Orange, and orange carrots were just what they were looking for—they became the ancestors of all modern carrots.

Many plants only grow in certain places on the earth, often deep in the jungle (丛林). The home of potatoes is in the mountains of the Andes in South America. Bananas come from Papua New Guinea and lemons grow wild in China. But once people real ized that many of these plants were good to eat, they took them far from the places where they grew. Fruit, especially, interested thirsty travellers. Arab businessmen transported different fruits and vegetables around the world, such as oranges, which they took from Asia to remote countries such as Spain. The Spanish returned from South America with many new types of food, including chocolate, pepper and corn.

People often had problems deciding what to do with these new fruits and vegetables, or used them for different purposes from today. Carrots were used not as food but as medicine to protect people from poison (毒药) or even (it was believed) to make people fall in love. The first tomatoes and pineapples were grown not as food but to make the garden look pretty. And many people were worried about potatoes—although they are good for us, their leaves are poisonous. In Germany, people only began eating potatoes when the king ordered that people who did not eat them would have their ears and noses cut off!

Today, we are so used to our different types of food that we don’t think about where they came from. But for each pineapple, potato or carrot we eat, there is a long history!

【1】Why did the farmers in the Netherlands prefer orange carrots to purple ones?

A．To serve their king a healthier vegetable.

B．To remind people of their king, William of Orange.

C．To have a better harvest(丰收).

D．To live a better life.

【2】________ played an important part in spreading fruits around the world.

A．Thirsty travelers

B．Arab traders

C．Spanish traders

D．Chinese traders

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．People today are used to eating carrots to protect themselves from poison.

B．People would rather use the first tomatoes to decorate(装饰) their garden than eat them.

C．People in Germany didn't begin eating potatoes until the king gave an order.

D．Carrots were even believed to make people fall in love.

【4】The structure of the passage may be________.

(1=Paragraph 1 2=Paragraph 2 3=Paragraph 3 4-Paragraph 4)

25、

This famous poem, with four couplets, was written by Du Fu(712—770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.

The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification(拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season.

When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.

In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom(盛开) after the rain.

26、   Many Chinese girls love “small, fresh meat”, which refers to young, effeminate (柔弱的) male stars. However, it turns out that not everyone is a fan of them. Some parents worry about the bad effect (影响)on their children from the stars. The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly influenced of Japanese and South Korean pop culture, an expert said, in fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men during the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern dynasties, especially among aristocrats (贵族)and scholars. It’s only a central issue ( 观点） temporarily (暂时的) and will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine (阴柔的）beauty, this doesn’t mean that he lacks responsibility. A man’s strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities (内涵) – not their physical appearance.
