第3题：
Who would want to build a virtual house on the Internet? Or spend hours online each week living inside a make-believe world? It sounds crazy, but thousands of video game enthusiasts do just that.
Online worlds are becoming more popular than ever. Many people have belonged to these online worlds for years. Inside these imaginary worlds, video gamers develop characters over time.
These characters learn skills, fight battles, build relationships, and even own property. Some communities inside these online worlds have several hundred thousand citizens!
The people role-playing in online worlds buy and sell things with virtual money. Many gamers earn virtual money by running successful tailor shops and weapons dealerships in their online worlds. Money and treasures can also be taken from victims in battle it’s a dangerous virtual world out there!
But gaining virtual wealth can be too time-consuming for the gamer who wants to buy his castle now. Serious game addicts have begun doing something the online world designers probably never imagined.
Some gamers are exchanging real-world money to buy virtual money and property for their online worlds. Using online auction sites such as eBay.com, gamers buy and sell whatever they need. A whole mini-economy has grown around this trade of goods.
Some of the most valuable items for sale in online worlds aren’t cheap. Sometimes they are rare, which makes them even more valuable. For example, consider a nice virtual house in a prime location. This property might cost as much as a new TV set in the real world!
For the person who doesn’t participate in these online worlds, the appeal must seem peculiar. What’s the attraction with these online worlds? Why would people spend money on something that doesn’t really exist?
The money being exchanged for those online swords and castles is real. The swords and castles aren’t. Absurd? Maybe. But the time and effort spent by the players is real. So is their love for online worlds. It seems only the human imagination can make something out of nothing!

New Foods and the New World
In the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.
A:some cocoa trees
B: some chocolate drinks
C: some shops
D: some South American Indians
细节题。从第一段最后两句话：London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.（在伦敦，供应巧克力饮料的店铺成为了重要的聚会地点。直到今天还存在一些这样的店铺）可以推断这里的some指的就是London shops。
细节题。第二段第三句：Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “ Potato Famine ” of 1845～1846.（爱尔兰人非常依赖土豆，在1845年到1846年期间的土豆饥荒中成千上万的爱尔兰人由于土豆欠收而挨俄）。强调the crop failed , the crop即potato。 A项没有说明土豆欠收这个关键事实；B项是starve导致的结果，并非原因;C项文章并未提及。
细节题。根据第三段倒数第二句：But it is native（本土的、当地的）to Ethiopia．句中it即指coffee，意思是咖啡最早产自埃塞俄比亚。A、B项和But it is native to Ethiopia矛盾；根据第三段最后一句：Arabs最早将咖啡制作为饮品。可以推断D是错误的。
推断题。第三段最后一句：It ( coffee ) was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.最后一段讲述这个阿拉伯传说就是为了证明阿位伯人首先发明了咖啡这种饮品，即D选项的内容。
