共分 共 40 分 分 A How Americans Began to Eat Tomatoes People have strange ideas about food 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 President s 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 36 After you read the passage which of the following do you think is true A Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them B Americans didn t eat tomatoes before 19th century C Even now Americans don t eat tomatoes D In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes 37 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 books 38 According to the text made the beautiful pink soup served at the President s party A the President himself B a French cook C the President s cook D the President s wife 39 From the passage we know all the honored guests invited by Jefferson were A people from other countries B from France C people of his own country D men only 40 According to the passage which of the following is NOT true A All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the President s party was made of tomatoes B All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the President s 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 B Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness happiness goodness and self respect The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as honor help you create this life of good feelings Here s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item If we keep silent and profit from the clerk s mistake we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune On the other hand if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul Then what is it to do with our sense of happiness In the first case where we don t tell the clerk a couple of things would happen Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief In the process we would lose some peace of mind and self respect We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends We damage our own reputations by telling others In contrast bringing the error to the clerk s attention causes different things to happen Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable Upon leaving the store we feel honorable and our self respect is increased Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable thoughts that lead to honorable actions Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence And it s easy to think and act honorably again when we re happy While the positive cycle can be difficult to start once it s started it s easy to continue Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind which is important for our happiness 41 According to the passage the positive action in the example contributes to our A self respect B financial rewards C advertising ability D friendly relationship 42 The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to A lying B stealing C cheating D advertising 43 The phrase bringing the error to the clerk s attention in Para 5 means A telling the truth to the clerk B offering advice to the clerk C asking the clerk to be more attentive D reminding the clerk of the charged item 44 How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake A We ll be very excited B We ll feel unfortunate C We ll have a sense of honor D We ll feel sorry for the clerk 45 Which of the following can be the best title of this passage A How to Live Truthfully B Importance of Peacefulness C Ways of Gaining Self respect D Happiness through Honorable Actions C Hundreds of years ago Native American tribes lived in Mexico The Aztecs built beautiful cities They had a calendar 历法 and a written language However the Spanish destroyed the Aztecs in l521 For the next 300 years Spain ruled over Mexico
