威廉·庫茲是一個計算機天才。當他只有11歲的時候，庫茲就開始編寫軟件程序，到l4歲的時候他已經開發出了自己的電腦遊戲。作為德克薩斯州休斯敦的一位高中一年級學生，他編的程序在一次科學展覽會中獲得了一等獎。高三時，在一次國際科學和工程學展覽會中他因為設計出能夠分析和分類DNA模式的程序而獲得最高獎。庫茲上了卡內基梅隆大學，這是全美計算機科學領域最好的大學之一。大學畢業後，他在硅谷的Oracle工作，編寫一些全世界許多公司都使用的軟件。

三年後，庫茲在哈佛商學院就讀一年級。他離開軟件工程領域一部分原因是他所賺的錢比他那些從事法律和商業的朋友們少得多。他也很擔心工作保障，尤其是當更多的公司為了降低費用而把他們的編程公司搬往美國以外的地方時。

　　原文翻譯及答案解析

你能想象沒有炸薯條的生活嗎?當今薯條很受歡迎。但是過去並非如此。五千年前土豆生長在南美。但是直到兩百年前土豆才在別的地方流行起來。

十六世紀，西班牙人把土豆從南美帶到了歐洲。但是歐洲人們並不喜歡這種奇怪的蔬菜。一些人認為如果你吃土豆，你的皮膚會看起來像土豆。另一些人無法相信植物長在地下的那一部分也可以吃。因此他們吃土豆的葉子。因為土豆葉子有毒，所以他們都病倒了。十九世紀，世界其他地方的人開始吃土豆。在愛爾蘭，土豆成了人們的主食。然後，在1845年，一種疾病殺死了愛爾蘭所有的土豆。這使得兩百萬人死於飢餓。

當今，在每個國家都有土豆做成的菜餚。德國人吃土豆沙拉，美國人吃烤土豆。當然法國人發明了薯條，而現在薯條在全世界都很受歡迎。

59.A【精析】細節題。題幹意為“土豆是什麼時候開始在南美以外的地方流行的?”從本文第一段的最後一句“But they only became popular in other places two hundred years ago.”可知，直到兩百年前土豆才在別的地方流行起來，故A正確。

60.C【精析】細節題。題幹意為“為什麼某些歐洲人最初拒絕吃土豆?”從文章第二段第三句“some people thought that if you ate pota—toes your skin would look like tlle skin of a potato.”可知，一些人認為如果你吃土豆，你的皮膚會看起來像土豆，故C正確。

61.A【精析】細節題。題幹意為“在1845年，愛爾蘭為什麼會有兩百萬人死去?”從文章第三段第三、四句“Then，in l845，a disease killedall tlle potmoes in million people died of hunger.”可知，1845年，一場疾病殺死了愛爾蘭所有的土豆，這使得兩百萬人死於飢餓，故A正確。

62.B【精析】推理題。題幹意為“從最後一段，我們可以得出什麼?”由最後一段可知，土豆在各個國家都是一道菜，但是做法不同，故B正確。
