问题     The cuisine of Mexico can be dated back to 700 B.C., when the area was populated by Indians whose staple food was corn. In the centuries to follow, the region’s farmers developed other important crops as well, including beans and chilies. In 1519, the Spanish arrived. Though they turned Mexico into a colony, these Spanish also introduced important new foods like wheat, pork, beef and dairy products.
    Visiting to an authentic(正宗的)Mexican restaurant is a good way to discover the richness of Mexican cuisine. To begin, you may order some tasty appetizers like cheese quesadillas. For the next course, you can’t miss a chicken chimichanga, which has a delicious, mild flavor. Another choice is a beef enchilada. Covered with spicy tomato sauce and topped with cheese, it will set your taste buds dancing.
    To complete your Mexican meal, try a scoop of fried ice cream. Besides cooling you down, it will leave you wondering how the cook managed to deep fry the ice cream without melting it.
In ancient times, ______ was the most important food for Indians of the area that is now Mexico.

选项 A、chicken
B、beef
C、beans
D、corn

答案D
