【解析】

薯片是很多孩子都非常喜欢的一种零食，但你知道吗，薯片是被无意中发明出来的。这是怎么回事呢？短文中给我们介绍了George是怎样发明出薯片的。

【1】句意：大多数孩子喜欢薯片，但很少有人知道薯片是由George Crum在1853年由于差错而发明的。

根据下文的叙述可知，薯片是George Crum无意中发明出的。这里考查短语by mistake，意为“由于疏忽所致，无意地”。故答案为mistake。

【2】句意：当土豆端上来的时候，他说土豆切得太厚不能吃。

空后thick是“厚的”，形容词，该空应选择副词，结合句意可知应选too，意为“太”，用于句型too+形容词+to do sth.“太……以至于不能……”。故答案为too。

【3】句意：George很生气，所以他把土豆切得很薄，煮了很长时间，直到变成了薯片。

空后 “they were crisps”是一个句子，该空填连词。until“直到……时候”，引导时间状语从句，符合句意。故答案为until。

【4】句意：他在上面放了双倍的盐，所以真的很咸。

根据句意 “so they were really salty.”可知，George放了很多盐，因此选择double“加倍”，是一个动词。短文使用的是一般过去时态，这里应填过去式。故答案为doubled。

【5】句意：他以为顾客会讨厌它们，然而，顾客如此喜欢它们以至于他要了更多。

根据句意 “the customer loved them so much”可知，顾客非常的喜欢，所以要了更多的炸土豆片。many“许多”，这里暗含有比较的意思，意为“更多”，应变成比较级形式more。故答案为more。
