D. Answer the questions (根据短文回答问题)(5分)
THE FRENCH love bread of all types, but the baguette (法棍)famously holds a special place. Whether it's toasted with butter at breakfast or served in a basket at dinner, this bread has a role to play in almost every meal. It's reported that about 320 baguettes are eaten per second. That's an average (平均数)of half a baguette per person per day, and around 10 billion baguettes per year.
The baguette is much more than just food. It's also a symbol of French culture and history. But how did this simple yet delicious bread come to be
The short answer;No one is certain who invented the baguette. Some people suggest that the idea of a long bread was brought from Vienna in the 19th century. Others believe it was created during the French Revolution. It was Napoleon Bonaparte who decided its shape so that soldiers could easily carry it. The baguette became popular in Paris in the 1920s. However, it took some time for the long loaf to be accepted in the countryside. At that time, people in rural areas
preferred darker, round bread that could be kept longer.
During World War I, the baguette played an important role. It was a way for the French to keep their cultural identity(身份)when the country was taken over by Germany. Although faced with food shortages, bakers continued to make baguettes. During the war, the bread brought comfort to
French people.
The traditional baguette is so important in French culture that it's protected by law. In 1993, the French Bread Law was passed. It sets the rules for making a traditional baguette. According to the law, the baguette can only be made on site(现场)and with specific ingredients:wheat flour, water, yeast (酵母)and salt. Only three additives(添加剂)are allowed:2%bean flour, 0. 5%soy flour, and 0. 3%wheat malt (小麦芽)flour.
Each year, Paris holds a competition to choose the best baguette in the city. The winner receives a medal and a prize of 4, 000 euros. They also receive the honor of becoming a baguette supplier (供应商)to the Elysee Palace (爱丽舍宫)for a year.
The next time you bite into a baguette, remember the rich history and cultural importance that this bread carries. Bon appétit (祝您好胃口)!
