If s，yu must like the essential ingredient in the sauces，tmates.The tmat riginally cmes frm Suth America and has been eaten by peple there fr thusands f years.Tday，tmates are ppular all ver the wrld.Hwever，when they were first intrduced，there was quite a bit f cntrversy and apprehensin surrunding them.
Tmates were first planted by the Aztecs(阿兹特克人) in Central America.In fact，ancient Aztec writings mentin recipes fr dishes f tmates.Spanish sldiers cnquered the Aztecs and brught tmat seeds back with them t Eurpe.In Eurpe，these yellwish tmates were first called “apples f gld”．Fr a lng time，peple in Nrthern Eurpe and Nrth America did nt eat these “apples f gld”．The tmat plant lked similar t the nightshade plant，a deadly pisn，s they were afraid t eat them.German peple even thught that if smene ate tmates，he r she wuld change int a werewlf(狼人)．But finally，by the mid-1800s peple all ver the wrld had accepted the tmat.
Hwever，the tmat was due fr mre cntrversy.D yu think the tmat is a fruit r vegetable? Actually the tmat is a fruit.But in America，the tmat is a vegetable by law.Why is the tmat legally a vegetable in America? In the 1800s，there was n imprt tax in fruit frm ther cuntries.At that time，many tmates were cming frm ther cuntries int America，and American tmates farmers became wrried abut making a living.The gvernment made the tmat a vegetable by law s that nn-American tmates wuld be taxed.
Actually，it is easy t tell that the tmat is really a fruit.Cut int a tmat and lk inside，yu can see many seeds in the center，which is ne sign f a fruit.In fact，tmates are similar t strawberries.Bth have seeds inside，and bth grw frm the flwers f a plant.And bth have delicius flesh surrunding the seeds.Tmates and strawberries are actually in the same family.

28．What is NOT a reasn why peple didn’t eat tmates at first?

B．They thught tmates were similar t a deadly plant.
C．They thught tmates cst t much t grw.

29．What des the US gvernment say tmates are?
A．Bth a fruit and a vegetable.
B．A kind f vegetable.
C．A kind f fruit.
D．Neither a fruit nr a vegetable.
答案 B

33
Matthew learned several languages tgether with his twin brther Michael.They tackled their first freign language，Greek，when they were nly eight years ld！Even if yu can’t get a sibling t jin yu n yur language adventure，having any kind f partner will push bth f yu t always try just a little bit harder and stay with it.
Have fun with it
34 .Think f sme fun ways t practise yur new language：make a radi play with a friend，draw a cmic strip，write a pem，r simply talk t whmever yu can.
Act like a child
We learn by making mistakes. 35 .But as adults，mistakes becme tab.Think hw an adult is mre likely t say，“I can’t”，rather than，“I haven’t learned that yet (I can’t swim，I can’t drive，I can’t speak Spanish)”．When it cmes t learning a language，admitting that yu dn’t knw everything is the key t grwth and freedm.

32．答案 G
解析 下文提到因为要和一个法国人交流而去学习法语，这和G项内容中的yur French相吻合。下文中的“wanting t”与G项中的“wanting t”相呼应。
33．答案 A
解析 由下文所述的马修和其双胞胎兄弟一起学习语言和本段末的“having any kind f partner will push bth f yu t always try”可知，学习外语要有一个同伴互相鼓励，这和A项内容一致。
34．答案 F
解析 下文提到学习语言有多种练习形式，这和F项中的“Using yur new language in any way”一致。
35．答案 D
解析 空前提到在学习的过程中犯错误不可避免，选项中只有D项与此有关。

36．A.rise B．d
C．put D．raise
答案 D
解析 句意为：我记得当时坐在礼堂里，听着齐格勒先生的演讲，他把每个人都说得精神高涨、跃跃欲试。raise sb. .’s spirits up意为“使振奋；使鼓起勇气”，该短语在句中作listen t的宾语补足语，即listen t sb. .d sth. 结构。
37．A.left B．came
C．arrived D．reached
答案 A
解析 根据下一句“When we gt t the car”可推断此处表示：离开那儿的时候，我觉得自己好像已经无所不能了，故A项正确。
38．A.get B．hpe
C．make D．cheer
答案 C
解析 根据下文“I want t be a mtivatinal speaker(励志演说家) just like Mr Ziglar”可知，此句表示：我想让人们产生那样的感觉。使役动词make后接不带t的不定式作宾语补足语，即：make sb. .d sth. ，意为“使某人做某事”，符合句意。故C项正确。
39．A.that B．what
C．which D．if
答案 B
解析 分析句子成分后可知，此处ask后接的是宾语从句，从句中mean后缺少宾语，故用what引导，意为“什么”。故B项正确。
40．A.dream B．idea
C．girl D．speaker
答案 A
解析 根据下一段首句“Recently，I began seeking my dream...”的提示可知，此处表示一个梦想诞生了，故A项正确。
41．A.After B．Befre
C．Because D．While
答案 A
解析 句意为：我在一家财富100强公司工作了四年，从一个销售培训人员做到地区销售经理，在我的事业达到巅峰时我离开了这家公司。根据语义可知，此处用after引导时间状语从句。故A项正确。
42．A.beginning B．wrking

解析 根据此空后的“and ending as a reginal(地区的) sales manager”可知，此处为beginning as“以……开始”，故A项正确。
43．A.life B．lve
C．mney D．career
答案 D
解析 根据上半句中提到的作者是地区的销售经理可推断，此处表示作者处于事业的巅峰，故D项正确。
44．A.disappinted B．mved
C．surprised D．delighted
答案 C
解析 disappinted失望的；mved感动的；surprised吃惊的；delighted高兴的。根据此空后的“ earning a six-figure incme”可知，收入都达到六位数了却选择离开，当然是令人惊讶的，故C项正确。
45．A.when B．why
C．if D．hw
答案 B
解析 根据句意“他们想知道为什么我会为了一个梦想而去冒险”可知，此处用why引导宾语从句。故B项正确。
46．A.plan B．prmise
C．decisin D．mind
答案 C
解析 句意为：我是在参加了一次地区销售会议后，才决定离开自己的安全港湾，去开创自己的公司。make a/ne’s decisin意为“作出决定”，符合语境。根据下段中“Having made that decisin，I was immediately .”也可知答案。故C项正确。
47．A.attending B．jining
C．entering D．hlding
答案 A
解析 根据句意可知，此处意为“参加地区销售会议”，表示参加会议、典礼、上课、听报告等都要用attend；enter fr意为“报名参加某项比赛”；hld a meeting意为“召开会议”，这里不符合句意。故A项正确。
48．A.newspaper B．bk
C．reprt D．speech
答案 D
解析 句意为：公司的副总裁在会议上发表了演说，从而改变了我的人生。make a speech作演讲，故D项正确。

答案 C
解析 根据上句中“If a gd wuld ffer...”可知，他问我们：如果神能满足你三个愿望，那你希望得到什么？因此，这里应与他之前的提问相呼应：你们为什么需要神(来帮助自己)呢？故C项正确。下文“I was ready and didn’t need a gd’s help”也有提示。
51．A.everything B．anything
C．nthing D．smething
答案 A

第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
One sentence frm the news in Washingtn has remained in my mind since a trip last summer：“When yu see peple run against the crwd escaping 56. the danger，they are 57. (prbable) firefighters，plice r jurnalists.”
I think this is mst true fr the firefighters.Whenever and wherever 58. (disaster) happen，it is always the firefighters 59. take the lead t run t the very centre，saving lives by 60. (risk) their wn.I cried tday near the explsin site，nt because f the smke frm the nging fire 61. because f a shrt message a firefighter sent t a trusted friend that went nline.It reads，“If I cannt make it，my father is 62. (yu) father；and please remember 63. (sweep) my mther’s tmb.” I was thrilled later t learn that he did make it.
“Everyne knws it’s 64. (danger) t be a firefighter.But he has always liked it and has dne it fr 12 years，” his father said.“He survived this time，but n ne knws what 65. (happen) next time.”
56．答案 frm
解析 考查介词。escape frm意为“从……逃离”，为固定用法。
57．答案 prbably
解析 考查副词。此处修饰整个句子，应用副词。
58．答案 disasters
解析 考查名词和主谓一致。disaster既可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词，根据谓语动词happen可知，此处应用复数形式。
59．答案 that/wh
解析 考查强调句。此处为强调句，所强调的部分the firefighters在句中作主语，故填that或wh。
60．答案 risking
解析 考查非谓语动词。介词by后应用动名词形式作宾语，故填risking。
61．答案 but
解析 考查连词。意为“不是……而是……”，为固定结构。故填but。
62．答案 yur
解析 考查代词。此处表示“如果我回不来，我的父亲就是你的父亲”。空后有名词，应填形容词性物主代词yur。
63．答案 t sweep
解析 考查非谓语动词。remember t d sth. 记得去做某事。故填t sweep。
64．答案 dangerus
解析 考查形容词。“It is＋adj.＋t d sth. ”句式意为“做某事是……的”。故填dangerus。
65．答案 will happen
解析 考查时态。根据时间状语next time可知，此处应用一般将来时态。故填will happen。
