The man who invented Coca-Cola was not a native Atlanta, but on the day of his funeral every drugstore in town shut up the shop in honor of him. He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Pemberton was a chemist, sometimes known as Doctor, who, during the Civil War, became an officer and led a cavalry troop. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began making such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup.
In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant. A few months later, he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and hired an accountant named Frank M. Robinson, who had not only a good head for figures, but, attached to it, so unique a nose that he could judge the ingredients of a batch of syrup merely by sniffing it.
In 1886 --- a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Cola officials like to point out, the English writer Conan Doyle made Sherlock Holmes known publicly and France found the truth about the Statue of Liberty --- Pemberton invented a syrup that he called Coca-Cola. It was a change of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a bit of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some cola nut oil and a few other oils, mixing the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar.
He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his elegant account’s script, instantly designed a label, on which "Coca-Cola" was written in the style which is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a drink than as a headache cure.
One morning in 1886, a man suffering from a headache dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a bottle of Coca-Cola. According to usual practice, druggists should pour a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but at that time, the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. After drinking it, the suffering customer cheered up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a fizzy (冒泡泡的)one.
According to the passage, which of the following about Pemberton is wrong?
A. He was highly respected by Atlantans because of his great contribution.
B. Medicines like Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup are his patent products.
C. During the Civil War, he was an officer of a cavalry troop, a chemist and a doctor.
D. Coca-Cola which is very popular now was invented by him.
Why do contemporary Coca-Cola officials especially like to mention the year 1886?
A. Because Conan Doyle contributed to Pemberton’s Coca-Cola invention.
B. Because France sent the Statue of Liberty to America and Pemberton loved it.
C. Because they are still proud of Pemberton’s invention.
D. Because Pemberton made more money for the company this year than in any other year.
What does the passage tell us about Frank M. Robinson?
A. He helped his boss and began making patent medicines together with his boss in 1869.
B. He had a special nose with an acute sense of smell and especially was good at drawing.
C. When he found the end product tasted awful, he threw in some cola nut oil and other oils.
D. He designed a label “Coca-Cola” for the Coca-Cola Company with his elegant handwriting.
How did Pemberton change French Wine Coca formula to make it taste delicious?
A. He mixed it with several oils instead of water.
B. He put some beer into the mixture.
C. He added more coffee into the mixture than before.
D. He added some cola nut oil and a few other oils.
According to the passage, what was Coca-Cola intended for at first?
A. It was intended for the children as a soft drink.
B. It was intended for a substitute for French Wine Coca
C. It was intended for a cure for the common headache
D. It was intended for the need of the war

【小題4】D
【小題5】C
【小題1】他是一名藥劑師,有時(shí)也被當(dāng)作醫(yī)生,但那是在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)以后,內(nèi)戰(zhàn)中他只是一名軍官,不符合題意。避錯(cuò)指導(dǎo): 本文第一句寫到:在他葬禮的那天,所有亞特蘭大人都紛紛歇業(yè)以示哀悼。由此可見,他在亞特蘭大倍受尊敬,故A符合題意。 B)從“…soon began making such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup”得知故B符合題意 D)可樂是由他發(fā)明的。故D符合題意。
【小題2】彭博頓在1886年發(fā)明可口可樂糖漿,永遠(yuǎn)是公司員工的驕傲。
避錯(cuò)指導(dǎo): A 柯南道爾創(chuàng)造了福爾摩斯,并沒有彭博頓發(fā)明可口可樂。B.法國人揭開了自由女神的真面貌,沒提是否送往美國 D.我們知道可口可樂公司賺了很多錢,但本文并沒有說1886年彭博頓為公司賺的錢比平時(shí)多。
【小題3】倒數(shù)第二段羅賓遜用他那簿記員優(yōu)雅的筆跡為它設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)標(biāo)志--可口可樂,他設(shè)計(jì)的字體
至今仍在沿用。
避錯(cuò)指導(dǎo):A. 1869年是彭博頓而不是羅賓遜開始研制名為Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup的專利藥品。B. 第二段寫到弗蘭克·M·羅賓遜,這個(gè)人不僅很有數(shù)學(xué)頭腦,而且這個(gè)腦袋上的鼻子是一個(gè)非常特別的鼻子,只要聞一聞就能夠輕易地分辨一批糖漿的組成成分,并沒有提到他擅長簽名畫畫。C在文章中談到制作的細(xì)節(jié)是彭博頓而不是羅賓遜做的。
【小題4】由倒數(shù)第三段可知,在配制該產(chǎn)品時(shí),味道不好,他又加入了一些可樂果精油,使其變得好喝起來。而且該產(chǎn)品被稱為可口可樂,可見可樂果在其中有著相當(dāng)重要的作用。
避錯(cuò)指導(dǎo): A)文中沒提到混合液沒有用水而只是用各種精油混合而成的。B. 文章中并沒有說加啤酒;C)該配方中的確有咖啡因,但是并沒有說咖啡因的量比以前增加了。
【小題5】倒數(shù)第二段最后一句寫到:彭博頓不認(rèn)為他的發(fā)明是一種飲料,他一直認(rèn)為這是一種治療
頭痛用的藥物。
避錯(cuò)指導(dǎo):A 眾所周知可口可樂現(xiàn)在是倍受孩子們喜愛的一種碳酸飲料,但彭博頓最初配制它的目的是配制一種藥液;B)屬偷換概念,本文確實(shí)提到可口可樂是在法國葡萄酒可樂的基礎(chǔ)上改良而成的產(chǎn)品,但最初的目的并沒有說是做其替代品;D)屬無中生有,本文并沒有提到戰(zhàn)爭的需要。
