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. Their distinctive taste does not stem from the kind of potatoes that McDonald’s【C8】________, the technology that processes them, or the restaurant equipment that fries them: other chains use Russet Burbank, buy their French fries from the same large processing companies, and have similar【C9】________ in their restaurant kitchens. The taste of a French fry is【C10】________determined by the cooking oil. For decades McDonald’s cooked its French fries in a mixture of about 7 per cent cottonseed oil and 93 per cent beef fat. The mixture gave the fries their unique flavor.
【C3】
选项
答案
A
解析
begin后可接动名词或不定式作宾语,词库无不定式选项,因此空格处应填入动名词。文章首句提到了炸薯条是每日临时现做(made from scratch),而空格后则说冷冻薯条(frozen French fries),因此推断此处表示由“临时现做”转换成“购买冷冻薯条”的形式,switching表示在不同事物之间转变、转移或切换,后跟介词to,表示转换所至的对象,因此选A。干扰项altering“(使)改变”不表示形式转换,且后不能接to,因此排除。
