In the last 500 years, nothing about people—their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. Although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. The potato was the main food at Irish table. Thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the’Totato Famine" (土豆饥荒) of 1845 ~ 1846, and thousands more were forced to move to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚). It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.

According to an Arabic story, coffee was discovered when a man named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red fruits on a coffee bush.

The writer used an Arabic story to prove that______.
选项
A、coffee was first discovered by Kaldi
B、coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goats
C、coffee was first discovered in South American countries
D、coffee drinks were first made by Arabs
答案
D
解析
文章的第三段说咖啡虽然广泛种植于南美国家,但它其实起源于埃塞俄比亚,并首先被阿拉伯人制成饮料。为了证明这一点,下一段给出了一个阿拉伯小故事,阿拉伯人卡尔蒂首先发现并品尝了咖啡。这一段的作用是为了证明上一段的结论。所以选D。
