  More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple.The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within.Then in 1996, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.

  The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green.It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside.But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known.In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.

  In nutrition(营养)it was all good news too.This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(维生素C)than the old green variety.Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases.People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit.The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.

  Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself.But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples.Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed.Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.

  These days, it's easy to fly across oceans for vacation.Centuries ago, however, crossing the open seas required thorough and accurate planning, handmade boats, and courage.Scientists and historians have long been looking for clues to explain who crossed which oceans first.When it comes to the trip between Polynesia(玻利尼西亚中太平洋群岛)and South America, chickens may have been among the first ocean voyagers, according to new evidence.

  After studying an ancient chicken bone, anthropologists(人类学家)from the University of Auckland in New Zealand now say that people and chickens traveled from Polynesia to what is now Chile(智利)by about 620 years ago.By then, the Inca people were already living in South America, but the Polynesians would have been the first to get there by sea.Previous theories claimed that European explorers and their chickens sailed to South America first -- but those voyagers didn't arrive until about a century later.

  In 2002, archaeologists dug up 50 chicken bones from a site in Chile called El Arenal.The team from New Zealand analyzed one to these bones.According to their calculations, the bone is about 650 years old.

  The researchers also compared the genetic material, or DNA, from the South American chicken bone with DNA from 11 chicken bones that had been found on the Polynesian islands of Tonga and American Samoa.These islands are 6,000 miles west of Chile.The bones found on the Polynesian islands are been 600 and 2,000 years old.

  Results of the comparisons showed that the chicken bones from both the Polynesian and South American sites had part of DNA in common.The researchers found the same part of DNA in feathers of two living chickens in Chile that belong to a modem breed that lays blue eggs.That DNA evidence suggests a close relationship among the chickens.

  "However, the weight of scientific evidence is now behind the hypothesis(假设)that it was seafaring(航海)Polynesians who sailed from the islands to South America and returned," says archaeologist Patrick V.Kirch of the University of California, Berkeley.

(1)

What is the passage mainly about?

[  ]

A.

It was difficult for ancient people to travel between Polynesia and South America.

B.

The first people who lived in Chile and Polynesia.

C.

Valuable chicken bones have been found in Chile.

D.

Chickens-the first to travel between Polynesia and South America.

(2)

When did the first European explorers reach South America?

[  ]

A.

About 520 years ago.

B.

About 2.000 years ago.

C.

About 600 years ago.

D.

About 620 years ago.

(3)

People found that chickens were among the first to travel from Polynesia to South America by _________.

[  ]

A.

comparing the colors of eggs laid by chickens from the two places

B.

comparing the DNA of chicken bones dug up on the Polynesian islands and that of the chicken bones from South America

C.

studying some previous theories

D.

asking the natives of South America

(4)

What do we learn from the passage?

[  ]

A.

European explorers and their chickens were the first to sail to South America.

B.

Chickens in South America have the same ancestors as those in Polynesia.

C.

In ancient times, a 6,000-mile channel separated Polynesia from South America.

D.

Before the Polynesians arrived in South America, the Inca people had lived there.'

 Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is  36  for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane  37  night after night. One would

 38  them to know their parts by heart and  39  have cause to falter(结巴).Yet 40 is not always the case.

  A famous actor in a  41  successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat  42  had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act,a gaoler(监狱长,看守)would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.  43  the noble was expected to read the letter at each  44  ,he always insisted that it should be written out in full.

  One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke  45  his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the  46  of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed(使显露)the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then,the gaoler  47  with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the  48 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 

 49  as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 50  to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then,squinting(眯着眼看)his eves,he said,“The light is  51 .Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 52  that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied,“The light is indeed dim,sir. I must get my  53 ”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s  54  ,the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the  55  copy of the letter which he proceeded(继续进行)to read to the prisoner.
