Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”

?In order to study enzymes(酶),?a small piece of potato is cut into very thin pieces. These thin pieces are placed in a little glass container and covered with water.

What’s delicious, healthy to eat and comes in various colors? Eggplant! And no, it has nothing to do with chickens! This strangely named vegetable is, however, as versatile as an egg. It can be steamed, fried or baked. It can be eaten by itself or combined with meats and other vegetables.
???Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5th century B.C. Its popularity soon spread to China and then throughout Asia. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it was like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a “mad apple”. This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity(精神錯亂) and cancer.
???Fortunately, today people know that eggplant doesn’t cause insanity or cancer. In fact, eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this supper vegetable. Since it is high in fiber, eggplant can also improve digestion.
???Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow-white. And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish diversities(多樣性) range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious!
???Today, thousands of people are gathering in Loomis, Calif, for the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival. The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes. There is plenty more to do and see, though. Recipe contests, arts and crafts, performers, races and children’s activities all “egg-cite” festival-goers. Most people at the festival would agree — eggplant is an “egg-cellent” vegetable!
53.What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．simple in shape B．various in cooking
C．diverse in size D．flexible in price
54.Which of the following statements about eggplants is TRUE?
A. Eggplant was once misunderstood by the people for its bitterness.
B. Eggplant was introduced into Europe during the 5th century B.C.
C. Eggplant got its name for its nutrition which is as rich as an egg.
D. Eggplant looks like what it used to be in color and shape.
?55.The diversities of eggplant reflect in many aspects EXCEPT _____________.
A．colors B．sizes C．dishes D．nutrition
56.The passage mainly tells us about __________________.
A．the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival
B．the general introduction of eggplant
C．the origin of eggplant
D．the benefits of eggplant
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage and then complete the statements and answer the questions on the answer sheet.
?[1]Queuing, warm beer and afternoon tea—what do they have in common? They are all part of British life, or so I thought. However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a typical traditional characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done by the Payments Council. It would seem they are no longer prepared to wait in line.
[2]Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During the Second World War, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily ration(配給)of foods. In fact, if you didn't stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was________uncivilized (不文明)．The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was seen as a part of life. Almost always, there is a queue to get on.
[3]But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one entrance to their buses, which could explain their more relaxed attitude to the queue.
[4]Two minutes is now the longest time most British are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue? As the Internet has become more popular among shoppers, impatience with queuing has increased.
[5]“Used to buying without delay, customers are even abandoning purchases rather than wait their turn,”says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard.?“Shoppers_are_also_less_likely_to_queue_for_longer_if_the_item_they_are_buying_is?of?low?value.”Perhaps I will have to replace“queuing”with“impatience”in my list of things I associate with the British.
57．What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)
_____________________________________________________________________
58．Which of the fol1owing can be replaced by the following one?
In the past queuing was thought to be a traditional feature of the British, but now they can't stand it any more.
_____________________________________________________________________
59．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper phrases.(no more than 4 words)
_____________________________________________________________________
60．Why do British people tend not to queue any longer? (no more than l5 words)
