1. No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices
may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs
and the Persians. The Persians called their dish Sharbat, from which our word sherbet（冰冻果子露）comes.
Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.
In 1533, when Catherine de Medici left Italy to marry the future King Henry Ⅱof France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert - “ice cream”.
At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio’s “ice cream parlor” became so popular that other shops were opened.
About 1640, King CharlesⅠintroduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should be served the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became the rage in England too.
1. This passage is mainly about ____.
A. Marco Polo’s travel
B. one of Chinese inventions
C. Catherine’s marriage
D. the history of ice cream

A. China

C. 1640
D. 1774
4. Ice cream was introduced to England by ______.
A. Catherine de Medicis
B. Francisco Procopio
C. King Charles I
D. Marco Polo
5. What will be probably discussed in the paragraphs following this passage?
A. Marco Polo’s travel in the world.
B. Development of ice cream in France.
C. Development of ice cream in England.
