Russet Bur-bank potatoes were【C1】______, cut into shoestrings, and fried in its kitchens.【C2】______the chain expanded nationwide, in the mid-1960s, it sought to【C3】______labour costs, reduce the number of suppliers, and【C4】______that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant. McDonald’s began【C5】______to frozen French fries in 1966—and few customers noticed the difference.【C6】______the change had a profound effect【C7】______the nation’s agriculture and diet. A familiar food had been transformed into a highly processed industrial【C8】______. McDonald’s fries now come from huge【C9】______plants that can process two million pounds of potatoes a day. The expansion of McDonald’s and the【C10】______of its low-cost, mass-produced fries changed the way Americans eat.
    The【C11】______of McDonald’s French fries played a【C12】______role in the chain’s success— fries are much more profitable than hamburgers—and was long【C13】______by customers, competitors, and even food critics.

【C8】
选项 A、brand
B、stuff
C、commodity
D、produce
答案C
解析 空格处为该句宾语的中心词，由a highly processed industrial(一种加工过的工业的……)修饰，从意思上看，A项brand“品牌、商标”可以排除；由于有冠词a，可知填入的词应是可数名词的单数形式。因此B项stuff“原料”和D项produce“农产品”这两个不可数名词也可排除。C项commodity意为“商品”，是可数名词单数形式，符合此处要求，故选C。
