    During McDonald’s early years French fries were made from scratch every day. Russet Burbank potatoes were【C1】______, cut into shoestrings, and fried in its kitchens. As the chain expanded nationwide, in the mid-1960s, it sought to【C2】______ labor costs, reduce the number of suppliers, and ensure that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant. McDonald’s began【C3】______ to frozen French fries in 1966—and few customers noticed the difference. Nevertheless, the change had a profound effect on the nation’s agriculture and diet. A familiar food had been transformed into a highly processed industrial【C4】______. McDonald’s fries now come from huge manufacturing plants that can process two million pounds of potatoes a day. The expansion【C5】______ McDonald’s and the popularity of its low-cost, mass-produced fries changed the way Americans eat.
    The【C6】______ of McDonald’s French fries played a【C7】______role in the chain’s success-fries are much more profitable than hamburgers—and was long praised by customers, competitors, and even food critics. Their distinctive taste does not stem from the kind of potatoes that McDonald’s【C8】______, the technology that processes them, or the restaurant equipment that fries them: other chains use Russet Burbank, buy their French fries from the same large processing companies, and have similar【C9】______ in their restaurant kitchens. The taste of a French fry is【C10】______ determined by the cooking oil. For decades McDonald’s cooked its French fries in a mixture of about 7 per cent cottonseed oil and 93 per cent beef fat. The mixture gave the fries their unique flavor.
【C1】
选项
答案E
解析 空格处跟过去分词cut，fried并列，因此空格处也应填入过去分词。由下文的cut into．．．和fried等词，得知此处表示土豆加工的过程，“切细条”前的步骤应为“削皮”，备选过去分词中的peeled“削(皮)”符合逻辑。scaled表示“剥落”时为不及物动词，可从用法上排除。
