How many of you drink cola? Nearly everybody. Did you know that cola started out not as a soft drink but as a cure for headaches back in the late 1800s?[23][24]John S. Pamberton, a druggist from Atlanta, had experimented for many months trying to find a cure for the common headache. He worked in his backyard, mixing and heating different combinations of oils and flavors until he found one that seems promising. Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drug stores as a concentrated syrup that the customer had to mix with water before drinking. Cola’s transformation from a medicinal syrup to a carbonated soft drink came about quite by accident. One day, a customer came into a drug store complaining of a headache and asked for a bottle of cola syrup. He wanted to take it right away. So he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited.[25]The clerk, instead of walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, suggested mixing the syrup with soda water. The customer agreed, and after drinking it, remarked how good it tasted. The clerk continued offering the mix and carbonated cola grew in popularity. Today carbonated colas are sold in most countries around the world. And although they no longer contain the ingredients used to cure headaches, they are still very refreshing.
22. What does the speaker mainly discuss?
23. How was cola originally sold?
24. Why does the speaker mention John Pamberton?
25. How was cola syrup made into a soft drink?
选项
A、A recipe for a soft drink.
B、The medicinal effects of cola.
C、The history of cola.
D、Soft-drink production.
答案
C
解析
短文开头处提到:“你们有多少人喝可乐?几乎人人都喝,但你们知道可乐早在19世纪初的时候并不是一种软饮料而是一种治疗头痛的药吗?”接下来讲话者介绍了可乐是如何被发明的,包括它最初的形式以及如何因巧合而成为风靡世界的碳酸饮料。全篇都是围绕可乐的历史展开,故答案为C。
