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.
【C6】
选项
A、drunken
B、popular
C、typical
D、particular
答案
B
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。从整篇文章来看,文章每段讲巧克力的一个发展阶段,后两段都无一例外地用了popular(受欢迎)这个阋来描写巧克力的接受情况;再者,接下来的句子又讲“固体巧克力受到欢迎”,这也暗示我们之前的可可饮料的情况。因此,我们可推出整篇文章讲巧克力从一种饮料开始,经过固体巧克力再到如今的牛奶巧克力,一直广受人们的欢迎。选项popular“受欢迎”正合题意,为正确答案。drunken意为“喝醉酒似的,摇摇晃晃”,如:I’m afraid that a drunken quarrel will leadnowhere.恐怕酒后争吵是没有什么用的。
