题文

Sonoma County, California is famous for its natural beauty. The area is also known for its fruits, vegetables, eggs, and afood. When I first moved to the area years ago, I had no idea I would be living in such a rich area!After the summer, local festivals practically celebrate the richness of the county every weekend. From Egg Days, Tomato Festival to Seafood Festival, Sonoma County has something for everyone. An event held every year is one of the most special in the area, which celebrates the harvest(收获) of tomatoes, showing over 170 kinds of this tasty fruit. Cooks prepare the most favorite tomato-inspired dishes. You can enjoy all kinds of food while listening to live music, and taste the world famous Kendall Jackson wine.Another great feature of this event is the opportunity to take part in the yearly competition with your own tomatoes. Tomatoes are judged (判断) on looks, taste, and weight and winners will be awarded (奖励). If you’re planning on visiting and want to attend this event, get your ticket early as it lls out quickly.This year, to celebrate Tomato Festival, I decided to plant a few tomatoes in a wine barrel (桶) that had kept a lemon tree before. The tree, after about 6 years, finally did not produce fruits anymore, so I changed to plant 3 tomato plants instead. The three wine barrel plants stand over six feet tall and that’s above the top of the barrel! They have lots of flowers and some have started to produce fruits. As usual, harvest may be late this year, but the quality of my tomatoes will be excellent. I believe I’ll realize my dream of being the best tomato gardener.小题1:We can know from the first two paragraphs that   .A．the author didn’t live there longB．Sonoma County lies by the aC．people there like drinking wineD．there are celebrations every day小题2:The passage mainly tells us something about   .A．Egg DaysB．Seafood FestivalC．Tomato FestivalD．Vegetable Days小题3:If you are the best tomato gardener you will   .A．be given prizes as a winnerB．eat tomato dishes for freeC．be respected by the local peopleD．drink Kendall Jackson wine free 题型：未知难度：其他题型
