D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分）

George Washington Carver was a scientist who helped farmers

learn how to grow new crops and take better care of the soil. He

studied many different plants and crops, but some of his favourites

were peanuts, sweet potatoes and pecans（美洲山核桃）.

We don’t know exactly when George Washington Carver was

born, but it was probably sometime in the 1860s. His mother was a

slave（奴隶） owned by a farmer in Missouri（密苏里州）named

Moses Carver. Young George Carver was fascinated by plants and

flowers. He tended（照料）his own little garden. People began to see

what a gift （天赋）he had for growing things. They called him the

“the plant doctor” and asked him to help them grow their gardens better.

George longed to go to school. But in those days most schools only taught white children. So, George had to move to a town eight miles away to attend a school for black children. At that time, some people wrongly believed that a black child should not get any education.

His determination carried him all the way through college. In 1894, George Washington Carver graduated from Iowa State University. Soon he was invited to teach at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a college created especially for African-American students. It was just what Carver wanted: a place where he could study plants and agriculture, and help educate other black men and women.

Carver wanted to help farmers in the South. They had been raising cotton for many years，and the crops weren't growing strong and healthy any more. Carver said they needed to improve the soil by growing other crops, like peanuts. People laughed and called peanuts monkey food. Nobody ate peanuts then. One evening a group of important people came to dinner at Tuskegee. George Washington Carver planned the menu. What do you think he served? Peanut soup, peanut bread, creamed peanuts, peanut cookies and peanut ice cream for dessert(甜点)！

In his laboratory Carver learned how peanuts could be used to make shoe polish(鞋油)，ink, oil, shampoo(洗发精), soap(肥皂)，and shaving cream (剃须膏). Altogether, Carver discovered over three hundred ways to use the peanut. People started calling him “the Wizard (奇才）of Tuskegee”.
