Question

16．Potato chips，which are popular everywhere today，had an unusual origin．The snack came about because of a complaint and an argument．An American named George Crum is credited with inventing potato chips．（71）F
In 1853，Crum worked in Saratoga Springs as the chef．One day a customer sent his serving of fried potatoes hack to the chef，complaining that they should have been sliced thinner．Chef Crum prepared another serving of thinner fried potatoes．The customer again returned them．By this time，Crum was angry．He thinly sliced a large number of potatoes and then salted and fried them．（72）GTo Crum's surprise，the customer loved them．The man even requested more．Afterwards，the customer left the restaurant to tell everyone about the delicious new food．
（73）EWhat is known is that Crum named his new dish"potato crunches，"although locally they became known as Saratoga Chips．When Crum opened a new restaurant，he put baskets of his chips on all the tables．Some people claimed，however，that potato crunches were not even on the menu．People who are aware of the success of the potato chip industry think it strange that Crum never patented his Saratoga Chips．
An important advance in the potato chip industry came in 1926，when Laura Scudder developed the waxed paper bag at her potato chip factory．Scudder had her workers take home sheets of waxed paper to make into small bags．The workers used their clothing irons to iron the sheets of paper．The heat from the irons quickly melted the wax，causing the sheets of paper to stick together．（74）CThe tops were then sealed with heated irons．The hags kept the chips fresher so they could be shipped to customers far away．
Three years later，a new type of fryer allowed further development in the cooking of potato chips．With the continuous fryer，many more chips could be cooked at the same time．Today，people all over the country enjoy the tasty snack．（75）B

A．In the early 1900s，things changed，and several companies around the United States began making potato chips．
B．Although the potato chip began as an accident，it is now one of America's most popular snack foods．
C．The next day，they hand packed potato chips into the bags，but the job was not quite finished．
D．They sold the chips to neighborhood stores from boxes and glass cases．
E．No one knows exactly how Crum reacted to the experience．
F．He did not，however，intend to invent anything．
G．His aim was to annoy the demanding customer．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了"薯片"（炸土豆片）這一廣受大眾歡迎的零食的發(fā)展過程．薯片的發(fā)展有一個不同尋常的起源，它的產(chǎn)生源于一個顧客對于飯菜的抱怨，廚師在生氣的情況下做的一份菜意外的成為了廣受歡迎的菜品，后來Laura Scudder 又對它的食用方式方面進行了發(fā)展，最終薯片成為了美國最后歡迎的食品．

解答 FGECB71．F 根據(jù)上文講到：一個叫George crum的美國人被認(rèn)為是薯片的發(fā)明者．選項意思與前句構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，銜接恰當(dāng)．故選F．
72．G 根據(jù)上文中提到Crum was angry．可以判斷他炸薯片的目的是使這個要求苛刻的顧客生氣，前后順承恰當(dāng)．故選G．
73．E 根據(jù)下句中What is known is that…，空處應(yīng)與其前后呼應(yīng)，形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系．故選E．
74．C 根據(jù)上文Scudder had her workers take home sheets of waxed paper to make into small bags．此處應(yīng)表示接下來這些包的用途．故選C．
75．B 根據(jù)最后一段句意是敘述總結(jié)薯片的最后的發(fā)展結(jié)果，隨著新技術(shù)的應(yīng)用，薯片制作更快更多，得到了全國人民的歡迎．最后一句填總結(jié)全文的句意，符合文章結(jié)構(gòu)．故選B．

點評 解答這種題型要搞明白上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，要根據(jù)文章中上下文句意及文章內(nèi)容發(fā)展的關(guān)系來做出判斷；只要符合文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、通順合理即可．
