共用题干 Historic Route 66:The Story of America's"Mother Road"1. The idea for Route 66 started in Oklahoma.Citizens there wanted to link their state with states to the east and west.By the l920s,federal officials wanted to connect state roads to provide a shorter,faster way across the country.So a plan was developed to connect existing state roads into one long national highway.2. United States Highway 66 was established on November 11,1926.It was one of the first federal highways .It crossed eight states.It was 3,800 kilometers long.Route 66 became the most famous road in America.It passed through the center of many cities and towns. It crossed deserts, mountains,valleys and rivers.3. In the 1930s,people suffered through the Great Depression.In Oklahoma,many poor families lost their farms because of dust storms.So they traveled west to California on Route 66 in search of a better life.In 1939,John Steinbeck wrote about these families in"The Grapes of Wrath."4. In his book,Steinbeck wrote:"66-the long concrete path across the country,waving gently up and down on the map,over the red lands and the gray lands,twisting up into the mountains, crossing the Divide and down into the bright and terrible desert,and across the desert to the mountains again,and into the rich California valleys."Steinbeck wrote:"66 is the path of a people in flight,refugees from dust and shrinking land.66 is the mother road,the road of flight."5. In 1946,the songwriter Bobby Troup and his wife drove across the country to Los Angeles.He wrote a song about traveling on Route 66 .The song told people they could have fun,could get their kicks,on that drive.In Los Angeles,Bobby Troup took the song to Nat King Cole,who recorded it. It became a huge hit.6. In the 1950s,holiday travel brought more and more families out West to explore.Route 66 represented the spirit of movement and excitement.In the 1960s,Americans watched a popular television series called"Route 66."It was the story of two young men driving across the country.The show was filmed in cities and towns across America.Yet only a few shows were filmed on the real Route 66.7. In real life,people were getting fewer and fewer kicks on Route 66.By 1962,parts of the road were closed because they were in poor condition.The federal government was building bigger highways .Cars and trucks could travel at higher speeds. People started driving on these new interstate highways instead of the old Route 66 .Finally,in 1985,Route 66 was officially removed from the national highway system.People have formed groups to save parts of the old 66 and many of the interesting places to eat,stay and see along the way. In 1985,Route 66 was officially removed from______.A: the national highway systemB: the east and westC: the federal governmentD: movement and excitementE: the northF: dust storms
资料：The hop flower has been used in beer-making at least since the eighth century. Traditionally it was a preservative, but it also imparts flavor. To some, the taste is bitter and unpalatable, and thus many brewers use only minimal amounts. But, depending on variety, growing conditions, and other factors, hops can impart a range of flavors that connoisseurs say rivals that of wine grapes. Starting in the nineteen-seventies, small brewers on the West Coast began dramatically upping the amount of hops in their brews. One of their most popular products was the India pale ale, or L.P.A., a brew that has been around since the late eighteenth century. The story goes that necessity drove the British to add large quantities of hops in order to preserve the beer they shipped to India, to quench the thirst of the Sahibs managing the Empire there. Over the past decade, varieties once thought of as boutique beers, such as L.P.A.s, have exploded in the United States, thanks to the locavore movement. Craft brewing is now doubling in sales, by volume, every five years, today, craft-beer make up twenty-one percent of the beer market, and twelve percent of the volume. The Brewers Association, a craft-brewing trade group, expects craft beers to have a fifty-per-cent market share in a decade. Since craft brewers use about ten times more hops than megabrewers, the trend has been a bonanza for Hopsteiner and the other big hops companies. But while an emphasis on brewers to come up with new beer, which, in turn, leads to a hunt for new hops varieties.Why did traditional brewers use hop flower even if its taste is bitter and unpalatable? A.Because connoisseurs said its flavor rivals that of wine grapes. B.Because there were different varieties. C.Because it helped preserve beer. D.Because only some people didn’t like the taste.
共用题干 Riches and Romance From France's Wine HarvestSeptember is harvest time. And with bunches of grapes swinging（摇摆）in the wind, the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.The yearly wine festival is held in honour of Bacchus,the Roman god of wine.It's a fun time with parties,music,dancing,big meals and,of course,lots of wine.French wine-making began more than 2,500 years ago.The world's oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine.Today France produces one-fifth of the world's wine,and some of the most famous varieties.The top wine-producing areas are Bordeaux,Burgundy and the Loire Valley. Champagne,a drink used in celebrations,is named after the place where sparkling（有气泡的）wine was first produced in 1700.Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes. It is the sugars that turn into alcohol.Traditionally,people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their barefeet to bring out the juice.Nowadays,this practice is usually carried out by machines.Each wine producing region has its own character,based on its type of grapes and soil.The taste of wine changes with time.Until 1850,all French champagne was sweet. Now,both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.The drink has always been linked with riches,romance and nobleness.Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms.They believe it makes daily living easier,less hurried and with fewer problems."All its links are with times when people are at their best;with relaxation,happiness, long slow meals and the free flow of ideas,"wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson. In the yearly wine festival,people always enjoy themselves.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
