问题     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.

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] 【C1】

B、saw
C、looked
D、sensed
答案 B
解析 词汇题。固定搭配词组的词义辨析。seeas“把……看作；当作”，如：Many peoplesaw her as a world leader．许多人把她当作世界领袖。根据上下文，阿兹特克人把可可树看作力量和财富的源泉才可能崇拜它，并且委派神灵保护它。此选项符合题意，为正确答案。feel“感觉”，一般搭配为feel as if，意为“觉得，仿佛”，如：Sometimeshe felt as if he were the president．有时他仿佛觉得自己就是总统。此选项不论用法或含义都不合题意。look选项用法与原题冲突，look的常用搭配为look on sb．as，as后面跟名词，意为“认为，看待”，表用某种方式看待，如：I look on him as a friend．我把他看作是一位朋友。sense也可表示“感觉到，发觉”，但不能与as搭配使用表示此处所需的含义，如：He sensed that his proposalswere unwelcome．他觉得他的建议不受欢迎。因此，此选项也不合题意。
