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. [br] 【C14】
选项
A、perfumed
B、handled
C、treated
D、crushed
答案
C
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。treat意为“处理”,指使经受了一个过程、变化等,尤指化学或物理上的变化过程,如:The water is chemically treated.这水是经过化学处理的。选此项,本句含义为“提取出来的可可脂……经加工处理,去除其他味道”,符合题意,因此,为正确答案。perfume意为“使发香,洒香水于”,如:He perfumed his hair everymorning.他每天早上在头发上洒点香水。本句乃至整篇文章都没有提到可可的“香”味,因此,不符合上下文含义。handle也可表示“处理”,但指解决对付一些具体问题等,没有加工处理的含义,如:I can handlethe problems efficiently.我能有效地处理这些问题。crush意为“榨出,压碎”,前文及本句都清楚地表明可可脂就是由榨取可可豆而得,如又说“榨取从而排除其他味道”,显然不合上下文。
