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.

【C5】
选项 A、switching
B、diverting
C、referring
D、running
答案A
解析 文章首句说麦当劳的薯条一开始是每天现做的，而此处提到了冷冻薯条，后半句还说极少有顾客注意到这其中的差别，由此可知该句是说麦当劳的薯条由“临时现做”转换成“冷冻薯条”的形式，switch表示在不同事物之间转变、转移或切换，后跟介词to接转换所至的对象，符合这里的语境，故本题选A。
