The twn f Salem, in New Jersey, is tied t a rather legendary tale (故事) where tmates were nce seen as
“pisn apples”. While the tale may nt be entirely true, it shws hw tmates became a belved fd.
The Aztecs are credited with grwing, cnsuming, and naming the tmat, and the fruit was later brught t
Eurpe by Spanish and Prtuguese clnists (殖民者) in the 16th century. Tmates spread slwly in Eurpe
because many Eurpeans avided the clr red, which was regarded as mrally wrng.
By the 18th century, the tmat was nicknamed the “pisn apple” because rich peple in Eurpe and
America wuld fall ill r die after cnsuming it. But it wasn’t the cnsumptin f the tmat that led t their illness
r death. Instead, it was the plates the wealthy used t dine n, which cntained lead. When the acid (酸)in
tmates reacted with the lead, it caused pisning. This made peple think tmates were pisnus.
In the late 18th century, peple in America were grwing tmates ut f curisity, nt eating them. Legend
has it that ne man helped change public pinin— Rbert Gibbn Jhnsn f Salem, New Jersey, wh std n
Salem’s curthuse (法院) steps in 1820, eating a basket f tmates fr all the public t see. When he didn’t die f
pisn, wrd spread that tmates were safe t eat. Hwever, n recrd f Jhnsn’s actins has ever been fund.
Immigratin t America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries— particularly Italians, wh brught the
pizza with them— cntributed t the eventual cnsumptin f tmates. By the 1830s, tmat recipes became
ppular in America. The legend f Jhnsn grew, especially after a 1949 radi shw reenacted (重演) his brave act.
Fr years, Salem even held a Tmat Festival celebrating the stry. The tmat’s jurney— frm“pisn apples”
t kitchen favrite— shws hw legend and facts can shape what we eat.
4. What’s the truth behind the nickname “pisn apples”?

B. Eurpeans disliked the clr red.
C. The Aztecs cnsidered them as harmful.
D. Their reacting with the lead led t pisning.

D. He persuaded the gvernment t supprt tmates.
6. What played a significant rle in ppularizing tmates in America?

As night falls in the rainfrest, rangutans (猩猩) climb high int the treetps t build tree nests (巢). These
carefully cnstructed beds prvide warmth, cmfrt, and prtectin against natural enemies and msquites.
Scientists have lng been curius abut hw yung rangutans learn such a cmplex skill. Recent research shws
that they learn it thrugh bservatin and practice — a prcess knwn as bservatinal scial learning.
Nest-building is essential fr rangutan survival. It is neither purely inbrn nr quickly mastered. Cnstructing
a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decisin-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests

challenging task.
Yung rangutans begin t shw interest in nest-building at arund six mnths ld. They start practicing
simple day nests at abut ne year f age. Their first attempts are ften unstable and prly cnstructed. Over the
next fur t five years, they gradually imprve their skills by watching their mthers and practicing repeatedly. By
the time they are six r seven years ld, they can build perfect nests.
The study f rangutan nest-building prvides valuable insights int animal intelligence and the evlutin f
human cgnitin. It demnstrates that cmplex skills can be transmitted culturally acrss generatins, a trait nce
thught t be uniquely human.
8. Why d rangutans build tree nests?

A. Six mnths ld. B. One year ld.
C. Fur t five years ld. D. Six t seven years ld.
11. What des the study f rangutan nest-building suggest?

My walk hme thrugh ur twn park used t be the best part f my day. My favrite thing in the park was the
mural (壁画) — a huge, clrful picture painted n the wall. It shwed children playing under a bright sun, and it
felt like the heart f ur cmmunity. But that heart was fading. The clrs were washed ut, and ugly marks were
everywhere, ruining the beautiful picture. I felt like a happy memry f my twn was being destryed.
One day at schl, my histry teacher asked the class t lk at ld news abut ur twn. I fund a very ld
article n the cmputer. It was abut the day the mural was finished. The article said the twn wuld always take
care f the mural. It even prmised t prvide funds t keep it beautiful. I was surprised. Nbdy was taking care
f it nw. The prmise was brken.
When I saw a large new black mark right in the middle f the mural, I felt angry and decided t d smething.
I remembered my civics teacher taught me, “T make a change, yu need gd prf.” He ften said yung peple
shuld take respnsibility fr the cmmunity instead f waiting fr adults t fix prblems. I had an idea. I wuld
find prf that peple still lve the mural and let Mr. Davis, the park manager, knw we shuld save it.
I used my phne t take many clear phts f the damaged mural. I saved the ld article. Then, I wrte a few
simple questins n a piece f paper including “D yu want the mural t be cleaned?” After schl, I went t the
park and asked peple these questins. Almst everyne I asked said they lved the mural and wanted it t be
saved. Many peple tld me their wn stries abut the picture.
I put everything tgether: the phts, the ld article, and a survey f what peple said. With the prf that the
mural was imprtant t the twn, I std utside Mr. Davis’s ffice. Wuld he listen t a yung student?

【答案】
Taking a deep breath, I kncked firmly n the dr. Mr. Davis welcmed me in with a smile, and I
nervusly handed him my cllectin f prf. I explained hw the mural had faded, shwed him the phts f the
ugly marks, and read the ld article abut the twn’s prmise. When I shared the survey results — hw almst
everyne wanted t save it — his eyes lit up. “Yu’ve dne amazing wrk,” he said happily, patting my shulder.
“This mural is part f ur twn’s histry, and yu’ve reminded us t keep ur prmise.” He tld me he’d apply fr
the funds right away t restre it.
Tw weeks later, I std in frnt f the restred mural. The clrs were bright again — vibrant blues,
warm yellws, and vivid greens that made the children in the picture lk alive. The ugly marks were gne, and the
mural shne like it did in the ld article. Many twnspeple gathered arund, taking phts and sharing stries. Mr.
Davis walked ver and handed me a small brush. “Want t add the final tuch?” he asked. As I painted a tiny
sunbeam, I felt prud. I’d learned that yung peple culd make a difference — all it tk was curage, prf, and
lve fr the cmmunity.
