Coca-Cola is one of the most popular soft drinks in the world. Dr John Pemberton first made it in Atlanta, America, in 1886. Dr Pemberton was not a real doctor but he sold syrups(糖浆)to people who were ill. He made his first Coca-Cola drink with syrup and soda water. He gave it to his friends to try. They liked it but asked him to make it even better.
Although Dr Pemberton’s drink was ninety-nine percent sugar and soda water, one percent of it was coca leaves and cola nuts (that is why he called the drink ‘Coca-Cola’) and some other things. Dr Pemberton would not tell anyone what these other things were. He kept them a secret. The drink did not sell well at first, so he sold the secret. Two years later he died.
In 1892 Asa Candler bought the secret and started The Coca-Cola Company. Until 1899 people could not take the soft drink away from shops to drink at home. They had to drink
them in the shops. However, when the Coca-Cola drink became very popular, people wanted to take home bottles of it, so Mr Candler agreed to sell it in bottles. In 1919, Mr Candler sold his part of company for twenty-five million dollars!
Today, The Coca-Cola Company is one of the largest companies in America. In 1992 it sold 506 million bottles of Coca-Cola each day. People can buy it in 195 countries. It is still the same drink that Dr Pemberton made in 1886.

Many years before the United States was founded, Americans had already invented barbecues(户外烧烤). But the first barbecues, in fact, were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coast had their own barbecues.
One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, “Fair and hot, Browne, hack overset. ”That is, on a bright and hot day he went to the Browne to attend a barbecue, and his carriage fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbors would be invited to dinner.
In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a hole for fuels(燃料)such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today, the barbecue grills(烧烤架)which are fueled by wood or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move, and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbors or friends over.
31. Who invented the barbecues first in history
A. American people. 　　B. Taino Indians. C. Spanish explorers. D. English settlers.
32. Spanish spelled barbecues as_______________at first.
A. barbacoa B. barbaca C. barbecoa D. barbeca
33. The second paragraph mainly tells us that the barbecue_____________.
A. is only held on a hot sunny day B. welcomes people who keep a diary
C. is held both indoors and outdoors D. has had its social occasion for over 200 years
34. The underlined expression“social occasion”can be best translated into________.
A. 社交功能 B. 社会福利 C. 社会地位 D. 社会背景
35. The following are all the barbecue ways EXCEPT__________.　
A. drying meat on raised frames of sticks over fires
B. roasting a whole animal over a pit full of burning tree branches
C. cooking parts of animals over fires on grills fueled by charcoal
D. heating meat in the bright and hot daylight
D
Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon.
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage—chocolate's growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What's worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier to grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Center, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.
First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre's fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they're disease free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage. There is now hope!
36. The first paragraph tells us that _________ .
A. chocolate is healthier than vegetables B. the world could soon be without chocolate
C. people love vegetables more than chocolate D. it's not necessary to eat so much chocolate
37. In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years
A. Venezuela and Indonesia. B. Ivory Coast and Ghana. C. Indonesia and China. D. China and India.
38. Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops .
A. can make them more money B. need less rain to grow
C. can be planted more times each year D. are not damaged by plant diseases
39. How long does it take scientists at the Center to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow
A. 6 months. B. 12 months. C. 24 months. D. 30 months.
40. What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Center
A. To introduce cocoa production to more countries. B. To provide more chocolate for British people.
C. To produce stronger types of cocoa plants. D. To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.
