Tulips are Old World, rather than New World, plants, with the origins of the species
lying in Central Asia. They became an integral part of the gardens of the Ottoman Empire
from the sixteenth century onward, and, soon after, part of European life as well. Holland,
in particular, became famous for its cultivation of the flower.
(5) A tenuous line marked the advance of the tulip to the New World, where it was
unknown in the wild. The first Dutch colonies in North-America had been established
in New Netherland by the Dutch West India Company in 1624, and one individual who
settled in New Amsterdam (today's Manhattan section of New York City) in 1642
described the flowers that bravely colonized the settlers' gardens. They were the same
(10) flowers seen in Dutch still-life paintings of the time: crown imperials, roses, carnations,
and of course tulips. They flourished in Pennsylvania too, where in 1698 William Penn
received a report of John Tateham's "Great and Stately Palace," its garden tull of tulips.
By 1760, Boston newspapers were advertising 50 different kinds of mixed tulip "roots."
But the length of the journey between Europe and North America created many
(15) difficulties. Thomas Hancock, an English settler, wrote thanking his plant supplier for
a gift of some tulip bulbs from England, but his letter the following year grumbled that
they were all dead.
Tulips arrived in Holland, Michigan, with a later wave of early nineteenth-century
Dutch immigrants who quickly colonized the plains of Michigan. Together with many
(20) other Dutch settlements, such as the one at Pella. Iowa, they established a regular demand
for European plants. The demand was bravely met by a new kind of tulip entrepreneur, the
traveling salesperson. One Dutchman, Hendrick van der Schoot, spent six months in 1849
traveling through the United States taking orders for tulip bulbs. While tulip bulbs were
traveling from Europe to the United States to satisfy the nostalgic longings of homesick
(25) English and Dutch settlers, North American plants were traveling in the opposite
direction. In England, the enthusiasm for American plants was one reason why tulips
dropped out of fashion in the gardens of the rich and famous.
Which of the following questions does the passage mainly answer？
A．What is the difference between an Old World and a New World plant？
B．Why are tulips grown in many different parts of the world？
C．How did tulips become popular in North America？
D．Where were the first Dutch colonies in North America located？
Some of those old expressions are still used today, with a little different meaning.
Dutch treat is one example. Long ago, a Dutch treat was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share. Another common expression heard a few years ago was in Dutch. (33) If someone told you that you were in Dutch, they were telling you that you were in trouble.
Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all.
In the seventeen hundreds, Germans who moved to the United States often were called Dutch. (34) This happened because of mistakes in understanding and saying the word Deutsch, the German word for German. Families of these German people still live in the eastern United States, many in the state of Pennsylvania. They are known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.
President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anything foreign and non-English was called Dutch. One expression still in use -- to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle -- did come from the Dutch. (35) The Dutch were known for the firm way they raised theft children. So if someone speaks to you like a Dutch uncle, he is speaking in a very severe way. And you should listen to him carefully!
(33)
A．Because Americans used them very often in the seventeenth century.
B．Because England wanted to win the naval competition against the Netherlands.
C．Because British people used them for things that were not good to hear.
D．Because American people hated the Dutch people.
M: Do you mean your history teacher？ He is surely a very learned man, not merely a foreign scholar.
Q: Where is the history teacher from？
(16)
A．He is from England.
B．He is from Holland.
C．He is from Denmark.
D．He is from Spain.
