【解析】

文章大意：本文是简和另一个人的对话。由简问另一个人“番茄”是什么意思，而引出了对于外来词的讨论。并深入讨论了一些关于“西红柿”问题。

【1】根据下文It's another way of calling tomatoes. 它是西红柿的另外一种叫法。可知此处问的是：“番茄”是什么意思？故答案选C。

【2】联系上文The word fan as well as hu means something from a foreign country.“番”和“胡”意味着来自外国。以及下文Yes.It came to China in the 13th century.是的，它13世纪来到了中国。

可知此横线处是关于胡萝卜的疑问：那么胡萝卜也是来自外国的，对吗？故答案选B。

【3】根据上下文语境可知，此处紧接着上一句仍然是关于胡萝卜的，意为：但是现在我们通常称它们为carrot。故答案选G。

【4】根据下文Chinese people used to think them poisonous．中国人过去认为它们有毒，推知他们都不敢吃；可知这里是说：但那时中国人不吃西红柿。故答案选F。

【5】联系上文可知：中国人在17世纪不吃西红柿，它们被作为一种盆栽种植，因为人们认为它们是有毒的；结合下文And when they began eating them at table, they fell in love with the nice taste.当它们开始在餐桌上吃的时候，他们爱上了它的美味；可知此处是说：欧洲人起初也不敢吃西红柿。故答案选D。
