The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree（可可树）by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.    The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine(饥荒)”of 18451846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.    There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.    According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with.    31According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?    A Food    B Clothing    C Ideology    D Language    32“some” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to     A some cocoa trees    B some chocolate drinks.    C some shops    D some South American Indians    33Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine” because    A they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything else    B they were forced to leave their homeland and move to America    C the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoes    D the potato harvest was bad    34Which country is the largest coffee producer?    A Brazil    B Colombia    C Ethiopia    E Egypt    35Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?    A One third of the worlds population drinks coffee.    B Coffee is native to Colombia    C Coffee can keep one awake.    D Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.    答案：    满分100分，其中：1-30每题1分；1-45每题3分；6-50每题2分；51-65每题1分。    1B2D3A4A5B6D7C8A9A10D11A12C13C14C15D16C    17A18B19A20B  21B22C23D24C25A26E27D28B29E30F    31A32C33D34A35B36D37A38B39A40C41D42B43C44A45A    46C47F48A49D50E  51C52B53A54C55B56A57C58D59A60C    61B62D63B64C65A
