Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America. But how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods to being the food of love?
They established the first cocoa plantation and used the cocoa beans as the main ingredient in a dark，bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”. The Mayas believed that chocolate had mystical properties. In fact，cocoa beans were used as a form of currency that was worth its weight in gold.
Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize cocoa's commercial possibilities. In 1529，Cortez returned Spain and introduced chocolate—as a drink mixed with sugar，vanilla，and cinnamon—to European society.
It caught on，especially with the nobility. As its popularity spread，people found new ways to make and use chocolate. Whether it is in delectable desserts or crunchy candy，people all over the world are still in love with chocolate.
A. But cocoa also had commercial value.
B. But not all the people all over the world love cocoa.
C. For centuries，the native there regarded cocoa as a gift from the gods.
D. When he arrived in the New World in 1519，he soon established his own cocoa plantation.
E. Around A.D.600，the Mayas were the main aboriginal group in Central America.
F. These days，chocolate is enjoyed as both a tasty treat and a romantic indulgence.
G. Doctors said cocoa plays an active part in medicine.

【答案】C；E；A；D；F

（1）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“But how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods...”可知，前面一句話應(yīng)該與gods有關(guān)。“For centuries, the native there regarded cocoa as a gift from the gods.”幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)，當(dāng)?shù)厝硕及芽煽煽醋魇且环N神賜的禮物。C項(xiàng)符合題意。故選C。
（2）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“They established the first cocoa plantation...”可知，They指代上一句中出現(xiàn)的人，再聯(lián)系第一段的“...be traced back to Central and South America”可知，空白處說(shuō)的是“大約在公元前600年，瑪雅人是中美洲主要的原著部落”。E項(xiàng)符合題意。故選E。
（3）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“...cocoa beans were used as a form of currency...”可知，可可也被當(dāng)作一種貨幣形式，由此可見，空白處說(shuō)的是，可可也具有商業(yè)價(jià)值，故選A。
（4）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize cocoa's commercial possibilities.”可知，這里講的是Hernando Cortez的故事，D項(xiàng)說(shuō)的是Cortez發(fā)現(xiàn)可可商業(yè)價(jià)值的事，故選D。
（5）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“people found new ways to make and use chocolate”和空后“Whether it is in delectable desserts or crunchy candy, people all over the world are still in love with chocolate.”可知，可可在世界各地仍然很受歡迎，人們想盡各種辦法，來(lái)使用可可制造產(chǎn)品。故選F。

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。How Women Were Freed From Their Homes
As late as 1800, a woman's only place was in her home. Women in business were unheard of. No respectable woman would dream of entering what was strictly a “man's world”. Even if she would, what could she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job well outside her home. This was a widely-accepted idea. When the famous Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they had to resort to using men's names as aliases.
Teaching was the first profession opened to women, soon after 1800. But even that was not easy for women to take because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to take in women.
Nursing was regarded as a respectable profession for women only after Florence Nightingale won high credit for her nursing career and became famous. Miss Nightingale opened the first training school for nursing in 1860 in England.
The invention of typewriters in 1867 helped to bring women out of their homes to join the business world. Because women are careful and have nimble fingers, businessmen found that they were well suited to this kind of work.
By 1890, tens of thousands of women were working in schools, hospitals, shops, offices, and factories both in England and the States. Some even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea of women working in business and other circles was accepted.
（1）Oberlin College was the first college in America ________.
A.where teaching was a profession only open to women
B.where girls could get advanced education
C.to train women to be teachers and nurses
D.to accept women only as professors and students
（2）It can be inferred from the text that besides nursing, Florence Nightingale was also ________.
A.a doctor
B.a lawyer
C.a teacher
D.a businessman
（3）Quite a lot of women entered the business world ________.
A.soon after 1800
