二、单项填空

A.benefit
B.benefit from
C.benefit to
D.benefit of
解析:benefit sb/sth意为“有益于某人/某事”;benefit from意为“从……中受益”;benefit作动词时不与介词to或of连用。句意:众所周知,当地的经济将从新建的公路中受益。
答案:B

A.That;combine
B.What;combine
C.What;mix
D.What;mix
解析:be good at缺少宾语,而that引导主语从句时在从句中不作任何成分,排除A项。combine“(使)联合,(使)结合”,常与介词with连用,意为“把……和……合并/联合”;mix“混合”,不符合句意。
答案:B
3Usually there is a speed of 30 km/h in towns or villages.?
A.level
B.standard
C.limit

五、阅读理解
How Americans Began to Eat Tomatoes
People have strange ideas about food.For example,the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable.It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it.But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty.But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的).They called tomatoes “poison apples”.
President Thomas Jefferson,however,knew that tomatoes were good to eat.He was a learned man.He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party.The guests thought the soup tasted really good.They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.Jefferson never spoke to his honored(忠实的)guests about the fact.
1After you read the passage,which of the following do you think is true?
A.Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.
B.Americans didn’t eat tomatoes before the 19th century.
C.Even now Americans don’t eat tomatoes.
D.In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.
解析:推理判断题。由第一段第五句“But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.”可知B项的叙述“在19世纪之前美国人不吃西红柿”是正确的。
答案:B
2The passage tells us that Jefferson was a President who learned to love the taste of tomatoes .?
A.while he was in Paris
B.when he was a little boy
C.because his parents told him so
D.from books

答案:A
3According to the text, cooked the beautiful pink soup at the President’s party.?
A.the President himself
B.a French cook
C.the President’s cook
D.the President’s wife
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第五句“The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.”可推知,是总统的厨师做的西红柿汤。
答案:C
4From the passage we know all the honored guests invited by Jefferson were .?
A.people from other countries
B.from France
C.people of his own country
D.men only
