【解析】本篇文章主要說(shuō)明口香糖的來(lái)歷。

【1】to

考查固定搭配。人們現(xiàn)在對(duì)這些甜食比以前更喜歡。Attach…to…為固定搭配�！鞍�……附在….上�！�，故填to .

【2】a

考查不定冠詞。一位（a ）著名的歷史學(xué)家,表示數(shù)量“一”，而且是第一次提到，故用a.

【3】enjoyed

考查過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)，與被修飾的名詞a sweet是被動(dòng)關(guān)系。一天中所享受的(enjoyed)甜蜜的事物可以成為我們舒適和快樂(lè)的源泉。從句意可知要用過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)。故選enjoyed。

【4】centuries

考查名詞。For是介詞，后面名詞，幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)人們已經(jīng)知道了這件事。

【5】latest

考查形容詞最高級(jí)。句意：許多糖果保持了它們的魅力和知名度，因?yàn)樗鼈兎�合最新�?/span>（latest）流行趨勢(shì)。故要用最高級(jí)。

【6】to find

考查不定式作目的狀語(yǔ)。句意：留下的繪畫(huà)中可以發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的祖先攻擊蜂巢以此找到蜂蜜。從上下文內(nèi)容可知攻擊蜂巢的目的是找蜂蜜。故選to find。

【7】went

【8】dates

考查謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。Date back to追溯到…。Chewing gum has a history that___8___ (date) back to the ancient吃口香糖的歷史可以追溯到古希臘時(shí)代，從現(xiàn)在追溯，要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，因?yàn)橹髡Z(yǔ)是歷史a history，即先行詞，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，即用單數(shù)。故用dates back to…。

【9】However

考查轉(zhuǎn)折連詞。從句意可知前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。句意：然而，直到1928年。故用however.

【10】that

考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。It is/was +被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分+that/who +剩余部分。it wasn’t until 1928 that Walter Diemer happened on just the right gum recipe to make the very first bubble gum.如果去掉本句中的It was…..that….句子完整，因此是強(qiáng)調(diào)not until 1928。句意：直到1928，Walter Diemer碰巧找到合適的口香糖配方才制造出第一個(gè)泡泡糖。故要填that
