The ancient Aztecs venerated the cacao tree and used its beans as a form of currency. They【C1】______the tree as a source of strength and wealth and【C2】______their god Quetzalcoatl its guardian. The Aztecs discovered that by crushing the beans into a paste and adding spices, they could make a【C3】______and nourishing drink. This drink would have been very bitter,【C4】______our chocolate drinks today. 16th century European explorers brought the drink back from their【C5】______, added sweeter flavourings, and soon it was【C6】______as an expensive luxury.
In the 1800s, solid chocolate became popular,【C7】______the invention of moulding processes.【C8】______grinders crushed cocoa beans to a【C9】______powder that could be heated and poured into moulds,【C10】______shapes【C11】______it cooled. Dutchman Coenrad Van Houten perfected the【C12】______of cocoa butter from cocoa beans in 1825. The beans are crushed to a paste, which is【C13】______very high pressure, forming chocolate liquor and cocoa butter. The extracted butter is smoothed and【C14】______to remove any odors. In the 1880s, Rudolphe Lindt of Switzerland started adding【C15】______cocoa butter during chocolate manufacture, to make it【C16】______and glossier. Cocoa butter melts at around 97°F, which is human body temperature. That’s why chocolate melts in the mouth.
In 1875 , Swiss Daniel Peter perfected the【C17】______of milk chocolate, which is sweeter and smoother than dark chocolate. Nestle’s recently-invented【C18】______milk was easy to mix with cocoa paste, unlike liquid milk. Cadbury’s "Dairy Milk", first【C19】______in 1905, is the UK’s most【C20】______chocolate bar. Milk chocolate is now the world’s best-selling variety.
【C17】
选项
A、producer
B、technology
C、nutrition
D、manufacture
答案
D
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。producer意为“生产者,制作者”,如:Those low-incomeproducers can get the insurance free.那些低 收入生产者可以免费得到这项保险。technology是“技术”的总称,不指单项的具体的技术,如:With the development of scienceand technology,people ale living a muchbetter life now.随着科学技术的发展,人们的生活比以前好多了。nutrition表示“营养(作用),营养物”,如:A balanced diet pro-vides nutrition for your body.均衡的饮食使你的身体获得营养。manufacture表示“制造,生产”,如:More importance has beengiven to the manufacture of this product.对这种产品的生产更重视了。文章前两段讲的都是可可饮料及固体巧克力的生产加工的情况,按照逻辑,这一段也应该讲牛奶巧克力的生产情况。四个选项中,manufacture表示“改进了牛奶巧克力的生产”,符合题意,为正确答案。technology为总称,不能用于表具体的某项技术或工艺,因此,不能选。本句讲巧克力而没有涉及生产者等问题,因此,也不能选producer。同时,根据上下文,改进了生产的结果是巧克力“更甜、更滑润”,涉及的是味道、口感等问题,而不是营养问题,因此,nutrition也不能选。
