回答题：

New Foods and the New World

In the last 500 years, nothing about people--not their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500&39;s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.

The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845--1846, and thou-sands more Were forced to emigrate to America.

There are many other that that have traveled from South America to the Old World.. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world&39;s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400&39;s.

According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world&39;s population now starts the day with.

According to the passage， which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years？查看材料

A.Food

请根据短文的内容，回答题。

Dorm Food More Comfortable

Once upon a time, eating in an American college dorm meant soup in a hotpot or getting pizza delivered. The most interesting thing about the campus dining hall was often the salad bar. No more.＜br＞

These days, US college students have refined tastes and a growing interest in preparing their own food.Mini-refrigerators and microwaves in dorm rooms are as essential as computers, which are basic equipments.＜br＞

"The cooking awareness of college students is increasing," said Tom Post, president of campus dining for Sodexo, a major food service company. "Students today grew up watching celebrity chefs on TV, eating organic food and valuing good nutrition."＜br＞

In response, cafeteria (自助食堂 ) menus have changed. Sodexo&39;s top campus foods for 2009, "include Vietnamese noodle soup, goat cheese salad, and Mexican chicken. But colleges are also catering to student demands for more flexible and personalized dining options.＜br＞

Chartwells, the company that prepares food for dining halls at Ohio Wesleyan University in the state of Ohio, offers microwaveable meals that "students can take away, as well as a program where students can have food individually prepared. Or they can even do their own cooking.＜br＞

This fall, Sarah Lawrence College in New York will offer students on its meal plan a chance to pick up groceries in the cafeteria as an alternative to a cooked meal.＜br＞

"Students want things that are easy to make, things that don&39;t take long and will still taste good," said Rachel Holcomb, a University of Massachusetts-Amherst student who updated recipes for the new edition of The Healthy College Cookbook.＜br＞

Angelo Berti, a chef at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, teaches cooking in dorm kitchens. But Berti says he&39;s not just teaching recipes. He&39;s encouraging students to use dining together as a way to socialize and as a means of self-expression; "The meal is your canvas (油画，画布) ," Berti said, "You paint what you want."

Transport and Trade

1Transport is one of the aids to trade.by moving goods from places where they are plentiful toplaces where they are scarce, transport adds to their value. The more easily goods can be broughtover the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were norailways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on asmall scale.

2The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied byabig increase in trade. bigger and faster ships enabled atrade in meat to develop between britainand New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big busi-ness, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. big factories could not ex-ist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. bigcity stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs andgoods were delivered to their homes. big cities could not survive unless food could be brought fromadistance.

3Transport also prevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it couldnot B．e taken quickly to inland towns. Transport has given us amuch greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. Foods which at one time could be obtained only during apart of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport hasraised the standard of living.

4by moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, for example, through electriccables, transporthas led to the estaB．lishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossi-ble before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better andmore cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quickertransport becomes,the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried． Countrieswith poor transport have alower standard of living.

5Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messagesand information. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio, send informationabout prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the worlD． In this way, ad-vanced communication systems also help to develop trade.

Step Back in Time

Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us？ One hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45. But now， she can live until at least 80.

One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better. We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better again. And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily.

But in order that we don"t slip back into bad habits， let"s have a look at what life was like 100 years ago.

Families had between 15 and 20 children， although many babies didn"t live long.Children suffered from lots of diseases， especially tickets （佝偻病） and scurvy （坏血病）， which are both caused by bad diets. This is because many families were very poor and not able to feed their children well.

Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up，bending over a piece of string， because there was no room for them to lie down.

People didn"t have fridges until the 1920s. They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills （窗台板）， blocks of ice， or even burying it in the garden.

Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their parents. If you had lived 100 years ago， you might well be selling matchsticks （火柴杆）（a job done by many children ） or working with your dad by now.

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Washoe Learned American Sign Language

An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.＜br＞

Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.＜br＞

In 1969, the Gardners described Washoe&39;s progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, "Who is coming to play？" Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.＜br＞

However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from＜br＞

watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform. the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe&39;s keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.＜br＞

Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoer provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.＜br＞

Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure-- Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.

The Gardners‘ experiment with Washoe__________. 查看材料

A.began in 1969

B.won a big prize

C.lasted three years

D.influenced primate research

根据短文内容，回答题。 Good Table MannersManners play an important part in making a favora

根据短文内容，回答题。

Good Table Manners

Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table. Here are some general rules:

Napkin (餐巾 ) use:

The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same,so place your napkin on your lap. Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin, or in half, lengthwise(纵向地) , if it is a large dinner napkin.

If you need to leave the table during the meal, place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning. Once the meal is over, place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate. Do not refold it.

Use a napkin only for your mouth. Never use it for your nose, face or forehead.

Use of utensils (餐具):

Start with the knife, fork or spoon furthest from your plate, and work your way in, using one utensil for each course.

If soup is served, remember to spoon away from yourself. This helps stop the drips. Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth. Instead, fill a soup spoon about 75 percent with soup, and sip(啜饮) it from the side noiselessly.

After finishing dinner, place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife blade facing inward toward the plate.

Using your fingers:

Here&39;s a list of finger foods: sandwiches, cookies, small fruits or berries with stems, French fires and potato chips, and hamburgers.

Chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed and don&39;t make noise: don&39;t talk with your mouth full.

Bread must be broken with your hands. It is never cut with a knife.

Don&39;t pick something out of your teeth. Instead, excuse yourself to the bathroom.

If possible, try not to cough at the table.

Do not put your elbows (肘 ) on the table. In France, it is essential to have both hands above the table at the same time.

Do not put bones or anything else on the table. Things that are not eaten should be put on your plate.

Where is the napkin normally placed during the meal？查看材料

A.On your chair

B.On the table

C.On your lap

D.On your plate
