New Foods and the New World
In the last 500 years, nothing about people-not their clothes, ideas, or languages-has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And 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. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845—1846, and thousands more were forced to emigrate 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. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.
According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.
According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?
选项

B、Chocolate.
C、Potato.
D、Coffee

细节题。第一段第一句:In the last 500 years, nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat.(在过去的500年中, 没有任何关于人类的东西, 如他们的衣服, 观点或语言, 会像他们吃的食物变化那么大。)同时使用比较级和否定词表示最高级, 意思恰恰就是A选项的内容。
