Answer 1

分析 本文敘述了在18世紀(jì)的美國當(dāng)時(shí)都認(rèn)為西紅柿是可觀賞的有毒食物，但是了解西紅柿情況的總統(tǒng)用來招待了他的客人，結(jié)果客人都說西紅柿是很好吃的．

解答 28．B  推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段But in the 18th century，Americans never ate tomatoes．They grow them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty可知在18世紀(jì)的時(shí)候，美國人還不吃西紅柿，最快也就是在19世紀(jì)美國人才開始吃西紅柿．故選B．
29．A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段He had been to Paris，where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes．可知Jefferson 是在巴黎的時(shí)候知道西紅柿好吃的，故選A．
30．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup 可知是總統(tǒng)的出示在總統(tǒng)的宴會(huì)上用西紅柿做了粉紅色的湯，故選C．
31．C   細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples．their president可知杰佛遜邀請(qǐng)的所有貴賓都是他們本國的．故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
