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.
【C12】
选项
A、extraction
B、attraction
C、exploration
D、expectation
答案
A
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。extraction意为“榨取,提取”,如选此项含义为“改善了可可脂的榨取(the extraction of cocoa butter)”,符合情理;另外,本句之后出现了the extractedbutter,因此,此选项也符合上下文,为正确答案。attraction指“吸引,吸引力,吸引人的事物”,如:The main attraction was aswimming pool near the community.主要吸引人的是那个社区附近有一个游泳池。exploration表示“探索,勘测”,如:They arecrazy about space exploration.他们醉心于宇宙空间的探索。expectation意为“期望,预料,期待之物”,如:The result was beyondmy expectation.这个结果出乎我预料。可见后几个选项都不合题意。
