Can you imagine life without French fries(炸薯条)? Potatoes are very popular today. But in the past this was not true. Potatoes grew in South America five thousand years ago. But they only became popular in other places two hundred years ago.
In the 1500s, the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. But the people in Europe did not like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that if you ate potatoes your skin would look like the skin of a potato. Other people could not believe that you ate the underground part of the plant. So they ate the leaves instead. This made them sick because there is poison (毒素) in the leaves.
In the 1800s, people in other parts of the world started to eat potatoes. In Ireland, potatoes became the main food. Then, in 1845, a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger.
Today, each country has its own potato dish. The German people eat potato salad, and the United States has the baked potato. And, of course, the French invented French fries, which are now popular all over the world. [br] Why did two million people died in Ireland in 1845?
选项
A、They had nothing to eat.
B、They ate the bad potatoes.
C、They ate the potato leaves.
D、They got a terrible disease.
答案
A
解析
细节题。题干意为“在1845年,爱尔兰为什么会有两百万人死去?”从文章第三段第三、四句“Then,in 1845,a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland.Two million people died of hunger.”可知,1845年,一场疾病杀死了爱尔兰所有的土豆,这使得两百万人死于饥饿,故A正确。
