People have strange ideas about food. In the 18th century, people in the USA g 小题1:       tomatoes, but they never a  小题2:        them. They thought tomatoes were d  小题3:     food. People called them poisonous (有毒的) apples.
Thomas Jefferson was a learned president (有学问的总统) and he knew people in Paris enjoyed the nice  t  小题4:     of tomatoes. He wanted his people to enjoy tomatoes, but  h  小题5:      could he change their ideas?
Jefferson grew some tomatoes in his garden. And he  t 小题6:       his cook to cook tomato soup (汤). Then he held a party. There was  p   小题7:    of tomato soup on the table. He invited visitors to try the soup. He wasn’t  s     小题8:    when he found all of them liked the soup. Of course, he  n  小题9:       told them they were eating poisonous apples.
Soon  a  小题10:      that, more and more Americans loved tomatoes.

小题1:grew
小题2:ate
小题3:dangerous
小题4:taste
小题5:how
小题6:told
小题7:plenty
小题8:surprised
小题9:never
小题10:after

试题分析:本文叙述了在18世纪的美国人开始误认为西红柿是有毒的食物。为了改变人们的这种想法,美国总统Thomas Jefferson在一次宴会上,让厨师做了西红柿汤来招待客人,结果客人喝了之后都喜欢上西红柿,在那之后越来越多的美国人喜欢吃西红柿了。
小题1:句意:在18世纪美国人种植西红柿。根据In the 18th century 可知句子的谓语动词应该用过去式,故用grew。
小题2:句意:但是他们从不吃它们。But后的叙述的内容还是指的是18世纪的事情,所以应该用过去式,故用ate。
小题3:句意:他们认为西红柿是有危险的食物。根据People called them poisonous (有毒的) apples. 可知这里指危险的,故用dangerous。
小题4:句意:他知道巴黎人喜欢好味道的西红柿。这里形容词后应该用名词taste“味道”。
小题5:句意:他想要人们喜欢西红柿,但是他怎样让人们改变他们的想法呢?根据句意这里应该用how表示方式。
小题6:句意:他告诉他的厨师去做西红柿汤。根据上文可知这是过去的事情,所以应该用过去式。短语tell sb to do sth告诉某人某事,故用told。
小题7:句意:在桌上有许多西红柿汤。这里plenty of修饰不可数名词,故用plenty。
小题8:句意:当他发现所有的人都喜欢西红柿汤的时候他一点没有感到吃惊。这里表示人感到吃惊的用surprised。
小题9:句意:他从没有告诉他们他们吃的是有毒的苹果。根据句意这里用否定副词never。
小题10:句意:在那之后不久越来越多的美国人喜欢西红柿了。这里指参加宴会的人吃了西红柿之后,故用after。
