For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples.”President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the Presidents party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored (忠实的) guests about the fact.41.The passage tells us that Jefferson was a President who learned to love the taste of tomatoes . A. while he was in Paris B. when he was a little boy C. because his parents told him so D. from books42.According to the text, _ made the beautiful pink soup served at the Presidents party? A. the President himself B. a French cook C. the Presidents cook D. the Presidents wife43.From the passage we know all the honored guests invited by Jefferson were .

All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the Presidents party was made of tomatoes. B. All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the Presidents cook was nice. C. All of the guests thought the taste of the beautiful pink soup was nice. D. None of the guests knew that their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.BWhat does Thanksgiving remind Americans of? Their families. Thanksgiving is a family time. On this holiday, families enjoy being together. What does “family” mean to Americans?The traditional American family is a nuclear family. A nuclear family refers to a husband and wife and their children. The average American family today has two or three children (and maybe a few pets). In some cultures, several generations may even live together. In America, only in a few cases does more than one household live under one roof. Each family member can have a say. Instead of fearing Mom and Dad, children may think of them as good friends. Husbands and wives often share housework. In many cases, a child can enjoy privacy（隐私）in his or her own bedroom. From an early age, children can plan how to spend money. They may receive a weekly pocket money or even work part-time jobs. Often parents give children freedom to make their own decisions about what to wear or to buy or whom to marry.The United Nations has declared 1994 the International Year of the Family. Not just in America, but all over the world, people recognize the importance of strong families. And one more thing: be thankful for each other. If you have a family, every day should be Thanksgiving. 45.This passage is mainly about .A. Thanksgiving Bholiday Cfamily Dculture46.What does a nuclear family include? A. father, mother and pets Bseveral generations living together C. grandparents, parents and children Dparents, children and pets47In America, children .Aoften fear their parents. Bcan decide whom to marry.Care not allowed to have jobs.Dcant receive pocket money until an elderly age.48That the International Year of the Family came into being show that .Amore people have realized the importance of family.Bmore people should have a family.Cpeople all over the world should hold Thanksgiving together.Dpeople should thank each other on Thanksgiving day.CIt is natural that children are curious (好奇的) about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat(跳). They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty. As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯、职业) in science. Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the worldThose who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry. These scientists have already discovered a lot about our worldFor example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles（肌肉）work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too. So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute. Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks（破裂）. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask , “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question. We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.49Scientists who work with the biological sciences study_.Athe earth , the oceans and the sky Bman-made thingsCplants and animals Docean water50When you run, your muscles need _.Amore nutrition and oxygen Bmore signals Cmore salt Dwater51A rock cracks _.Ain wet regions Bin dry regions Cat very high or very low temperatures Dwhen salty water falls in 52People are always curious because _. Athey cannot explain many things Bthey know nothing about the worldCthey know little about the world Dthey want to be scientists D HOUSE TO RENT Older house to rent in the city center.
