　　About 1, 500 years ago the Japanese imported many aspects of Chinese culture ： the writing system, political institutions, and perhaps the most important, Buddhism．Buddhist priests were expected to eat only vegetables, and tofu’ made from the soybean, was a very important food in their diet．When Buddhism was introduced from China’ tofu was also brought to Japan．

　　Tofu developed in different ways in China and Japan．While the Chinese often changed the taste of tofu by mixing it with strongly-flavored vegetables or meat，the Japanese preferred to eat it using only a simple sauce．Even now，traditional Japanese cooking preserves the original delicacy of tofu, though the way it is served may change from season to season．In summer, for example, it is simply served cold, while in winter it is often eaten as part of a hot dish．

　　The soybean was introduced to the West in the 18th century, but little interest was taken in it．Only scientists recognized its high food value．During the Second World War, when meat was in short supply, the US government encouraged the American people to eat soybean products．However, they never became very popular and, after the war, interest in them dropped off as the supply of meat became plentiful again．

　　In recent years，people in the West have become increasingly aware of the dangers of eating too much animal fat, and as a result, they have turned more and more to soybean products．This is mainly because the soybean provides almost the same food value as meat, and in addition it is a lot more healthful．Much of the margarine(人造黄油)，salad oil and cooking oil in daily use is now produced from soybean oil．Tofu, a representative soybean product and originally one of the main foods in the diet of Chinese priests, is considered to be one of the healthiest foods available to man．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中；选出最佳选项。

　　The whole world has turned its eyes towards a wild animal－the masked palm civet(猓子狸).

　　This animal is thought to be a carrier of SARS, the deadly disease that has infected(感染) over 8,200 people and killed more than 750 around the world since last November.

　　On May 23, researchers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen reported that they had found a coronavirus(冠状病毒) “very similar” to the SARS virus in the faeces(粪便) of civets. Now they think SARS might have jumped to humans from this animal, which has short fur and black and white stripes(条纹) on its face.

　　Civets are the main part of a popular wildlife dish, “dragon－tiger－phoenix soup”, in southern China. The civet plays the role of the tiger while snake and pheasant(野鸡) make up the other two items. It is thought that the dish can improve people's vitality(精神；活力) levels. And it can sell for up to 1000 yuan. But the meal might not be as healthy as it seemed. Yuen Kwok－Yung, a Hong Kong scientist, said SARS may have jumped into humans when they raised, killed and cooked the civets. However, if the food was properly cooked, he said, the virus should have been killed.

　　Although large amounts of the virus were found in the animal's faces, it appeared to be unaffected. Researchers say the virus may have jumped from the animal to humans or, perhaps, from humans to the civet in the crowded street markets.

　　But now the connection has been made, people have started abandoning(抛弃) their pet cats in the street because they look similar to civets. “They were probably abandoned because of all the media articles linking cats to the SARS virus,” said a Hong Kong official from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

　　A WHO official later warned that it was too early to make the firm conclusion that the civet was the definite(明确的) carrier of SARS.

　　But the Chinese mainland(大陆) has begun to ban(禁止) the sale and consumption(消费) of the animal and Hong Kong has banned the import(进口) civet meat.

1．Civets ________.

[　　]

A．are commonly regarded as the definite carrier of SARS

B．are forbidden to raise in China at present

C．taste more delicious than most wild animals

D．have some virus similar to the SARS virus

2．Before SARS broke out, ________.

[　　]

A．scientists knew little about civets

B．people in the south were fond of the dish with civets
