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.
    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] 【C19】
选项 A、developed
B、issued
C、used
D、dispersed
答案 A
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。develop可表示“形成，产生”，此处表示“Dairy Milk”首先出现于1905年，符合题意，因此，为正确答案。issued表书、杂志等的“发行，出版”，但不能用于表示一种产品的出现。used作“使用”讲时为及物动词，此处为不及物动词用法，因此，用法错误。不仅如此，“DairyMilk”为食物，只能食用，不能使用。disperse可做不及物动词，表示“消散，消失”，如：The storm clouds had dispersed by noon，到正午时分，暴风云已消散了。后面一句讲“Dairy Milk”现在销量很好，如果消失了，就不可能有现在的结果。因此，与题意冲突。
