Thomas Adams changed the gum and marketed it as a candy.”Santa Anna給了兼職發(fā)明家Thomas Adams一些。Thomas Adams將口香糖改頭換面，將其作為一種糖果推向市場。可知Thomas Adams把Santa Anna給他的樹膠變成了口香糖。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Blibber Blubber was too sticky and it was also too difficult to remove the burst bubble from one39。s skin without using some special tools.”Blibber Blubber太粘了，不使用一些特殊的工具就很難把皮膚上破裂的泡沫去除。可推知因為Blibber Blubber的特性，Blibber Blubber最不受歡迎。故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Pink was the only color which could be used at the time, and Dubble Bubble has remained pink ever since.”粉紅色是當時唯一可以使用的顏色，Dubble Bubble從那時起一直保持粉紅色?？芍擠ubble Bubble被發(fā)明出來的時候，它的特別之處是它是粉色的。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段中的“A history of bubblegum just wouldn39。t be plete without mentioning the gumball machine, which popularized gum.

At first, I was too polite to get their help. Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society. I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted. I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students. I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class. The professor didn39。t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbsfar more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said: this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day. Or, You may find the book I remended helpful. Or, You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting. When making ments on students39。 performances, the professor usually said: It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester. In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why they make far more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.（1）The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______. A.argue with their studentsB.be more sure about their answersC.express their ideas more clearlyD.develop their students39。 own way of thinking（2）Which of the following statements best expresses the author39。s idea? A.Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question.B.American professors are not responsible since they don39。t give students answers.C.American education produces aggressive students.D.Education in China is not helpful in developing studen
