If you grow up in America, you must know this little foodie(美食家)rhyme. "You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!" For most Americans, the phrase "ice cream" brings out memories or summer. Ice cream is the oldest fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history.

The emperors of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) are believed to have been the first to eat "a frozen milk-like dessert ", which was made with milk heated with flour. Later, camphor (樟腦)was added to improve the taste.

In Medieval Titles Arabs enjoyed an icy drink called sherbet (冰凍果子露). This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink-making skill, with the French following soon after. The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet(雪酪)was created. Antonio Latini (1632-1692)is the first person to create a milk-based sorbet, which is considered as the first "Official" ice cream.

It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700s. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent $200 to satisfy his thirst for the lovely treat.

Ice cream has become one of the most popular desserts in America. Apple pie might be the most traditional American dessert, but what is served as its most popular close friend?

A.沙漠 B.甜點 C.果凍 D.糖果

3.In which order did ice cream develop?

a. milk-based sorbet b. frozen milk-like dessert c. Vanilla ice cream d. cold drinks with fruits

A.b→d→a→c B.d→a→c→b C.c→a→d→b D.b→a→d→c
