The ancient Aztecs venerated the cacao tree and used its beans as a form of currency. They【C1】______the tree as a source of strength and wealth and【C2】______their god Quetzalcoatl its guardian. The Aztecs discovered that by crushing the beans into a paste and adding spices, they could make a【C3】______and nourishing drink. This drink would have been very bitter,【C4】______our chocolate drinks today. 16th century European explorers brought the drink back from their【C5】______, added sweeter flavourings, and soon it was【C6】______as an expensive luxury.
In the 1800s, solid chocolate became popular,【C7】______the invention of moulding processes.【C8】______grinders crushed cocoa beans to a【C9】______powder that could be heated and poured into moulds,【C10】______shapes【C11】______it cooled. Dutchman Coenrad Van Houten perfected the【C12】______of cocoa butter from cocoa beans in 1825. The beans are crushed to a paste, which is【C13】______very high pressure, forming chocolate liquor and cocoa butter. The extracted butter is smoothed and【C14】______to remove any odors. In the 1880s, Rudolphe Lindt of Switzerland started adding【C15】______cocoa butter during chocolate manufacture, to make it【C16】______and glossier. Cocoa butter melts at around 97°F, which is human body temperature. That’s why chocolate melts in the mouth.
In 1875 , Swiss Daniel Peter perfected the【C17】______of milk chocolate, which is sweeter and smoother than dark chocolate. Nestle’s recently-invented【C18】______milk was easy to mix with cocoa paste, unlike liquid milk. Cadbury’s "Dairy Milk", first【C19】______in 1905, is the UK’s most【C20】______chocolate bar. Milk chocolate is now the world’s best-selling variety.
【C3】
选项
A、renewing
B、refreshing
C、relieving
D、restoring
答案
B
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。refresh意为“(以食物、睡眠等)使记忆恢复,使精神振作”,如:I was so sleepy that I had to refresh myselfwith a cup of tea.我太困了,只好喝杯茶提提神。选此选项含义为“提神(又营养)的饮料”,符合题意;另一方面,常识也告诉我们可可有提神效果,因此,refreshing为正确答案。renew意为“使恢复,使更新,复原,继续”,表示“恢复”时指重新得到体力或精力等,但只表示“恢复”这个动作,具体恢复什么有待句中指出,如:I renewed my spiritsin the country air.在乡村的空气中我恢复了精力。如果说“恢复的饮料”显然不合情理。restore也表示“恢复”,指使恢复存在或重新建立,或使回到原来的状态,如:They took measures to restore law and order.他们采取措施恢复法律秩序。也就是说法律秩序曾经存在,后来又被消除了,现在要重新建立法律秩序,回到以前的状况。由此可见,此选项也不合题意。relieve意为“减缓,缓和”,如:The medicine relieved allhis symptoms.药物减轻了他的所有症状。此处不合题意。
