yes, but the fruit from both of these peppers has a sharp taste (kind of like onions)these peppers are scheduled to become available in mid2015.these pretty peppers can be grown in containers and also in garden beds. they grow best with plenty of light and warm temperatures, stommel says.21what does the passage mainly talk about?a. different kinds of peppers.b. peppers with the halloween spirit.c. the history of peppers.d. food for the halloween festival.答案与解析b本文主要讲了在下一个万圣节时，会有一种新的类似于万圣节南瓜的辣椒问世。b项正确。22what do we know about “lil pumpkin” and “pepper jack”？a. they are used to decorate christmas trees.b. their fruits have different shapes.c. they are grown mainly to provide food to eat.d. their fruits are the same colour.答案与解析b文章第二段中说这种蔬菜就像彩灯装饰圣诞树一样装饰花园，排除a项。第一段中说“lil pumpkin”长得像万圣节的南瓜，而第三段中说pepper jack has orange and black coneshaped fruit，故可知b项正确。从第二段可知，它们主要用来装饰用，排除c项。它们的颜色一个是orange，另一个是orange and black，排除d项。23the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to “_”a. these lights b. these holidaysc. these vegetables d. these scientists答案与解析cthey指代这些装饰用的蔬菜，c项正确。24according to the passage, a potage was _.a. the place where kings and queens livedb. the garden in the french kings palacec. a garden with plants for decoration and for foodd. a place providing vegetables for the royal homes答案与解析c从第五段第一句可知，c项正确。bwriting science fiction & fantasyby isaac & andersonprice: $11.86availability: in stock. ships from and sold by athis howto book is divided into four parts: “storytelling”， “ideas and foundation” and two sections on mechanics, markets and dealing with editors. isaac talks about “plotting”， “dialog” and “revisions”， but andersons technical essay on preparing a scientifically valid world couldnt be better.masterpiecesby orson scott cardprice: $11.36availability: in stock. ships from and sold by ait may not include every readers choices for the top science fiction of the 20th century, but it lives up to its title. therere 27 famous stories by the biggest names and best writers, for example, bears discover fire by terry bisson and snow by john crowley. masterpieces isnt an anthology(文选)for wellread fans. however, it is a great book for new science fiction reader.world buildingby ben bovaprice: $16.99availability: not many left in stock, order soon by amazon. comit is ben bovas series on science fiction writing. while it may take you a little more than seven days, when youve done, your knowledge will be greatly increased. it is designed to give science fiction writers the solid grounding they need to make their fiction read like fact. world building is to help writers transport readers from one world to another through words, tables and diagrams.end in fireby syne mitchellprice: $6.99availability: only 2 left in stock, order soon by amazon. comastronaut claire logan is living her dream working on the space station unity. but two days before her mission ends, as earth is engulfed (吞没) in nuclear war. helpless to contact her family, claire refuses to give up. but when unity rescues a chinese space station from certain death, claire discovers that the war on earth has come to space and she must make a final stand.25the four books are all about _.a. science fiction writersb. science fiction writingc. science fictionsd. science fiction
