You probably have eaten many of them. Love apple was the name used many years
21、ago for the tomato.The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poi
22、sonous. They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers-regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a “love apple.“ While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweet po
23、tatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the
24、people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.（分数：12.00）(1).The language from which we derived the word tomato is_A.

The History of the Tomato D. Vegetables in Our Diet（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Betty and Harold have been married for years.
27、 But one thing still puzzled (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and theyre still sitting on the sofa? Talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
28、Betty shrugs. Talk? Were friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the di
29、fference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.“More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, an
30、d almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, more trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). “Most women,“ says Rubin, “identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could tu
31、rn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.“In general,“ writes Rubin in her new book,“ womens friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but mens relationships are marked by shared activities. “For the most part, R
32、ubin says, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlleda good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,“ Rubin writes,“ the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a womans closest female friend might be the first t

37、C.D.(5).The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around _.A. happy and successful marriagesB. friendships of men and womenC. emotional problems in marriageD. interactions between men and women（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies and other creatures learn
38、 to de things because certain acts lead to “rewards“; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological “drives“ as thirst or hunger. In other words, a
39、 baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way
40、 to “reward“ the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began t
41、o study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on“ a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bri
42、ng about this result. For instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they w
43、ould “smile and bubble“ when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world
44、and bring it under intentional control.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the author, babies learn to do things which _.A. are directly related to pleasure B. will meet their physical needsC. will bring them a feeling of success D. will satisfy their curiosity（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Papusek noticed in his stud
45、ies that baby _.A. would make learned responses when. it saw the milkB. would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC. would continue the simple movements without being given milkD. would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In Papuseks expe
46、riment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _.A. have the lights turned on B. be rewarded with milkC. please their parents D. be praised（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The babies would “smile and bubble“ at the lights because _.A. the lights were directly related to some basic “drives“B. the s
47、ight of the lights was interestingC. they need not turn back to watch the lightsD. they succeeded in “switching on“ the lights（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and experience? Strangely enough， the answer to these qu
48、estions is yes. To some extent, persons intelligence is fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with.
49、The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随意地) from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and s
