50、phical characteristics of Scotland.D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland DTo take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely strory the Christians（基督教徒）have ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil（邪恶的）.So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South Am

51、erica, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell （地狱

55、n 1820,people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead.” What are you afraid of?” he shouted. ”Ill show you fools these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.68. The to

56、mato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because _.A it made Christive evil B it was the apple of Eden C it came from a forbidden landD it was religiously unacceptable 69. What can we infer the underlined part in Paragraph 3 ?A The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down B There wa

57、s little progress in the study of the tomato C The tomato was still refused in most western countries D Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato 70.
