【解析】本文主要講述人們對馬鈴薯的認識過程。16世紀，西班牙人把馬鈴薯從南美洲帶到歐洲，當時歐洲人并不喜歡這個奇葩的蔬菜。19世紀，人們開始吃馬鈴薯。在愛爾蘭，馬鈴薯成了主食。今天，各個國家都有各自的馬鈴薯佳肴。
（1）B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“Potatoes grew in South America 5,000 years ago.“（馬鈴薯五千年前生長在南美洲）可知，馬鈴薯最初是生長在南美洲，故選B。
（2）C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句”In the 16th century, the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. “（十六世紀，西班牙人把馬鈴薯從南美洲運到歐洲。）可知，西班牙人把馬鈴薯從南美洲運到歐洲是在16世紀，并不是在19世紀，故選C。
（3）C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的”and the USA has the baked potato.“（美國有烤馬鈴薯）可知，美國用馬鈴薯做的菜是烤馬鈴薯。故選C。
