this process results in a dark, thick and sweet variation of soy sauce 83 Early in the 18th century, sailors from the Bristish navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable to exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England; chefs ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the original Asian sauce Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in the 18th century England, appearing in a number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from the period The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end of the 18th century that tomatoes became a main ingredients in the ketchup of the United States It is quite notable that tomatoes were added to the sauce and that tomatoes had previously been considered quite dangerous to health That tomato had been cultivated by the Aztecs, who had called it tomalt; however, early botanists had recognized that tomato was a member of the Solanecaea family, wich does include a number of poisonous plant The leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receive credit for changing the reputation of the tomato Soon after Jefferso had introduced the tomato to American society, recipes combining the new fashinonabe tomato with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear By the middle of the 19th century, both of the tomato and tomato ketchup were stables of the American kitchen Tomato ketchup,popular though it was,was quite time-consuming to prepare In 1876,the first massproduced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heizn,went on sale and achieved immediate success From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces, pickles, and relishes 141 It is not stated in paragraph that A the Chinese sauce was in existence in the 17th century B the Malaysian sauce was similar to the Chinese sauce C the Chinese sauce was made from seafood and species D the Indonesian sauce was similar to the Chinese sauce 142 “it” in paragraph refers to A a salt brine B a week C the resulting solution D this process 143 What ingredient is not used to make Indonesian sauce? 84 A soy beans B sugar C salt D mushrooms 144 It can be inferred from the second paragraph that mushrooms and walnuts were A difficult to find in England B not part of the original Asian recipe C not native to England D transported to England to Asia 145 The phrase “became quite the rage” in paragraph means A became an anger B became strange C became popular D became a protest 146 The author mentions the English version at the beginning of the third paragraph in order to A indicate what will be discussed in the coming paragraph B explain why tomatoes were considered dangerous C make a reference to the topic of the previous pharagraph D provide an example of a sauce using tomatoes 147 According to the paragraph 3, the tomato plant A was considered poisonous plants B is related to some poisonous plants C has edible leaves D has fruit tat is sometimes quite poisonous 148 the word “staples” in paragraph could be best replaced by A standard elements B strong attachment C necessary utensils D rare alternatives 149 Where in paragraph can the following sentence go in? “It turned from very bad to exceedingly good” A at the beginning of the paragraph B before the sentence “ Soon after Jefferson …” C before the sentence “By the middle of the 19th century …” D at the end of the paragraph 150 Tomato ketchup is closest to the word 85 A ketchap B ke-tjap C ketjab D kechap THE BEATLES In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular The Beatles changed pop music They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs The Beatles did not have a long career Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970 They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs!
