【解析】

文章大意：本文是簡和另一個(gè)人的對話。由簡問另一個(gè)人“番茄”是什么意思，而引出了對于外來詞的討論。并深入討論了一些關(guān)于“西紅柿”問題。

【1】根據(jù)下文It's another way of calling tomatoes. 它是西紅柿的另外一種叫法�？芍�此處問的是：“番茄”是什么意思？故答案選C。

【2】聯(lián)系上文The word fan as well as hu means something from a foreign country.“番”和“胡”意味著來自外國。以及下文Yes.It came to China in the 13th century.是的，它13世紀(jì)來到了中國。

可知此橫線處是關(guān)于胡蘿卜的疑問：那么胡蘿卜也是來自外國的，對嗎？故答案選B。

【3】根據(jù)上下文語境可知，此處緊接著上一句仍然是關(guān)于胡蘿卜的，意為：但是現(xiàn)在我們通常稱它們為carrot。故答案選G。

【4】根據(jù)下文Chinese people used to think them poisonous．中國人過去認(rèn)為它們有毒，推知他們都不敢吃；可知這里是說：但那時(shí)中國人不吃西紅柿。故答案選F。

【5】聯(lián)系上文可知：中國人在17世紀(jì)不吃西紅柿，它們被作為一種盆栽種植，因?yàn)槿藗冋J(rèn)為它們是有毒的；結(jié)合下文And when they began eating them at table, they fell in love with the nice taste.當(dāng)它們開始在餐桌上吃的時(shí)候，他們愛上了它的美味；可知此處是說：歐洲人起初也不敢吃西紅柿。故答案選D。
