1. (2019高三上·浦东期末) 根据所听到的短文选择正确的答案

Good morning class. Before we begin today, I would like to address an issue that one<br />of you reminded me of after the last lecture. As you may recall, last time I mentioned that<br />Christopher Columbus was the first one to bring cocoa beans to Europe after the first<br />European explorations in the New World. What I neglected to mention was the Spanish explorer<br />Hernando Cortez. He was actually the first person to turn cocoa beans into something<br />commercially important. When adventuring in Mexico, he and his men were introduced to<br />the emperor of one group and were offered ground goat cups of the emperor's royal<br />drink, chocolate. To adjust the drink for European tastes, Cortez and others decided<br />to sweeten it with sugar. When they took this sweetened chocolate back to Spain, the drink<br />became popular, especially when combined with several other newly discovered spices.<br />Eventually, people began to serve chocolates at a hot drink. Later, people began to use<br />the traditional methods to make chocolate. In the 1870s, in Switzerland, Daniel Peter<br />found a way to add milk to chocolate, creating the product we enjoy today known as milk chocolate.<br />OK, today we are going to talk about the first maps of the Americas.<br />Good morning class.
