Once, food was defined by a very small geographic zone, prescribed by the products and traditions in that area.
Where there were wars, food was modified. Arabs conquered Europe; cane sugar went with them. The Chinese entered
Japan and the soybean entered the Japanese diet. Immigration left a mark, too. Jews fleeing Portugal brought chocolate to
southwestern France. African slaves brought frying and okra to the Caribbean and the American South. It seemed every
time a royal marriage was arranged in France, the cuisine gained a few ingredients and dishes. Modern historians question
the influence of Catherine de’ Medici when she arrived in Paris in 1533 at the age of 14, with an extensive Italian cooking
staff. The event probably did not revolutionize French cooking as is sometimes suggested, but it did bring the artichoke
north. And when Louis XVI married Marie Antoinette from Lorraine, sauerkraut became fashionable in Paris and
remained popular far longer than she did.

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： An Earth-observation satellite for Taiwan's National Space Organization was launched into orbit from Californiain August 2017. The Formosat-5 satellite lifted off from coastal Vandenberg Air Force Base atop a SpaceX Falcon 9rocket, which successfully landed its first stage on a drone ship floating in the Pacific Ocean as the second stagecontinued on and deployed the satellite. Moments before the first-stage touchdown the video link to the vessel froze, then reappeared and showed therocket standing. Cheers erupted in the SpaceX control room in the Los Angeles suburb Hawthorne. "This is the 15thsuccessful landing of a Falcon 9," said Lauren Lyons, the SpaceX webcast launch commentator. Formosat-5 is the first satellite to be fully designed by Taiwan's space agency and is intended to advance the nation'sspace technology and scientific research while providing global imagery with a wide array of uses ranging from naturalresource studies to disaster management. Planned to operate for five years in low-Earth orbit, about 446 miles (720kilometers) high, its main instrument is a sensor that can produce high-resolution black-and-white and color images. A predecessor satellite, Formosat-2, produced more than 2.5 million images over 12 years of operation before itwore out and was decommissioned a year ago. The landing of the Falcon 9 first stage aboard the drone ship Just Readthe Instructions was the latest in a string of successful recoveries at sea or on shore by SpaceX, which sees reusabilityof major rocket components as key to driving down launch costs. 【題組】 49 What is NOT true about Formosat-2?
(A)It took roughly 2.5 million pictures during its lifetime. (B)It provided over 12 years of service. (C)It is expected to produce more images in the years to come. (D)It retired in 2016.
