本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了大米、番茄、巧克力及冰激凌這幾種食物的來源。

【1】推理判斷題。根據第一段“When Romans travelled to India around 326 BC. they took rice back to Greece.”可知大米在公元前326年，由羅馬人帶到歐洲；根據第二段“Later. in the the l6th century, they were taken to Spain, Italy and France.”可知番茄在16世紀，番茄被帶到歐洲；根據第三段“Christopher Columnbus took the seeds back to Spain in 1493.”可知可可樹的種子在1493年被帶到歐洲；根據“In 1547. Queen of France asked a cook to make ice cream.”可知冰激凌在1547年由法國的女王要求廚師做出來。根據以上可知，大米是最早被帶到歐洲的，故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段“The French even gave tomatoes a special name, love apples.” 法國人甚至給西紅柿起了一個特別的名字，愛蘋果�？芍�，是法國人把番茄叫做love apple。故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“However, chocolate wasn’t popular until it was made as sweets int France in the 1600s.” 然而，巧克力在17世紀60年代作為甜點在法國制造之前并不受歡迎。可知巧克力在17世紀60年代在法國變得流行。故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。根據文意可知，本文分別描述了大米，番茄，巧克力和冰激凌的來源，以及后來逐步傳播到了歐洲和其他地區(qū)。故選B。
