During McDonald’s early years French fries were made from scratch every day. Russet Burbank potatoes were【C1】________, cut into shoestrings, and fried in its kitchens. As the chain expanded nationwide, in the mid-1960s, it sought to【C2】________ labor costs, reduce the number of suppliers, and ensure that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant. McDonald’s began【C3】________ to frozen French fries in 1966—and few customers noticed the difference. Nevertheless, the change had a profound effect on the nation’s agriculture and diet. A familiar food had been transformed into a highly processed industrial【C4】________. McDonald’s fries now come from huge manufacturing plants that can process two million pounds of potatoes a day. The expansion【C5】________ McDonald’s and the popularity of its low-cost, mass-produced fries changed the way Americans eat.
The【C6】________ of McDonald’s French fries played a【C7】________ role in the chain’s success—fries are much more profitable than hamburgers—and was long praised by customers, competitors, and even food critics.

选项
答案
F
解析
空格位于a和role之间,因此空格处应填入形容词。由下文可知,薯条的利润高,且易受到顾客、对手及美食家的称赞,故推断薯条对麦当劳的发展起重要的作用。词库中的crucial和critical均有“重要的,关键的”这一含义,但critical指极为危急或缺乏的状况,这种状况标志着一种转折点;而crucial则强调十分重要。并没有强调危急或缺乏之意。crucial更符合文意,故选F。
