IV. Reading Comprehension 12% (51-56，每題 2 分) <A>It is no surprise that many people love to eat the delicious and healthy kiwifruit. But what may come as asurprise is the fact that the fruit most of us associate with New Zealand actually comes from China. The Chinese have a long history of eating kiwifruit. It is even mentioned in the Book of Odes, a collection ofpoems more than 2,000 years old. It was not until 1847 that the kiwifruit—or “Chinese gooseberry,” as it was firstknown–was seen by Westerners. Yet it is Westerners who made the fruit famous. New Zealanders were the first people to plant the kiwifruitcommercially in 1934 and to export it to other countries. They were also the ones to name it “kiwi,” after NewZealand’s national bird. From China, to New Zealand, to the rest of the world, the kiwifruit has become a trulyinternational fruit. (From Reading Master, Level 1)
