of water，warmth，soil and protection.After about five years，cocoa trees start producing large fruits called pods.The seeds inside these pods are harvested to make chocolate.Today we travel around the world exploring the history of chocolate.Its story begins with a plant whose scientific name，Theobroma Cocoa，means “food of the gods”．People have been enjoying the rich flavor of chocolate，a product made from this plant.Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America.For centuries，the natives there regarded cocoa as a gift from the gods.But how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods to being the food of love？Historians believe the Maya of Central America first learned to farm cocoa plants around two thousand years ago.The Maya took the cocoa trees from the rainforests and grew them in their gardens.They cooked the cocoa seeds，and then crushed them into a soft substance.They used the cocoa bean as the main part in a dark，bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”．They believed that chocolate had mystical properties—but cocoa also had commercial value.In fact，cocoa beans were used as a form of currency that was worth its weight in gold!The explorer Christopher Columbus brought cocoa seeds to Spain after his trip to Central America in 1502.But the Spanish explorer conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize cocoa’s commercial possibilities.When he arrived in the New World in 1519，he soon established his own cocoa plantation.In 1529，Cortez returned to Spain and introduced chocolate—as a drink mixed with sugar，vanilla (香草)，and cinnamon—to European society.The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed a sweetened version of the chocolate ter，the popularity of the drink spread throughout Europe.The English，Dutch and French began to plant cocoa trees in their own colonies.Chocolate remained a drink that only wealthy people could afford to drink until the eighteenth century.During the period known as the Industrial Revolution，new technologies helped make chocolate less costly to produce.It caught on—especially with the noble people，who enjoyed hot chocolate as an aphrodisiac (a kind of medicine)．As its popularity spread，people found new ways to make and use chocolate.These days，chocolate is enjoyed as both a tasty treat and a romantic indulgence everywhere.1．According to historians，cocoa trees were first planted in________.A．South America B．Central AmericaC．Spain D．Africa2．What does the underlined word “substance” here mean?A．An illegal drug. B．An important idea.C．A liquid material. D．A solid material.3．From the passage，we can infer that________.A．Christopher Columbus brought cocoa seeds to Central AmericaB．the wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed the chocolate drinkC．many people over the world enjoy a good taste of chocolateD．cocoa trees need an exact amount of water，warmth，soil and humidity4．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A．History of chocolate，as rich as its tasteB．Chocolate，food of the godsC．Value of chocolate，as costly as goldD．Chocolate，food of love(2010·淮南市第二次检测)Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day，we have all been told，and told again，is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts，they still take no breakfast.During the past ten years the number of people who didn’t have breakfast，have increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast，however，there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that，for adults especially，there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance，”said Arrold E．Bender，former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London，“n or does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly not enough，and most of the recent works are about adults，not children，“The literature”，says one researcher，Dr Erresto at the University of Texas，“is poor”．5．For those who do not take breakfast，the good news is that____________.A．several studies have been done in the past few yearsB．not having breakfast does no harm to one’s performanceC．studies have been specially on adultsD．eating little in the morning is good for health6．“...nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means________.A．anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB．not giving people breakfast improve performanceC．having breakfast does not improve performance，eitherD．people having breakfast do improve their performance7．The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to________.A．poems，plays，etc.B．written works on a particular subjectC．the famous works in historyD．the modern stories of America8．What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that________.A．breakfast does not affect performanceB．Dr Erresto is engaged in research work at the Universty of TexasC．not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD．Professor Bender once taught nutrition in London课时作业(十二)答案Ⅰ.完形填空[语篇解读]作者看到一个流浪汉在理发店门口讨饭，却被理发店的人赶走。
