Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 A

【2】 break it into little pieces the pieces to the cookie dough

【3】 frozen pop Epperson Icicles

【4】 Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake.

【解析】

本文主要讲了有时，最伟大的事物是由于差错被发明的，并且给我们举了一些例子。

【1】下文内容Far from melting, the pieces of chocolate stayed hard.意思是远非融化，巧克力片依然坚硬，由此推知上文内容She thought that the chocolate would (1) melt in the oven and make chocolate cookies.意思是她认为巧克力可能会在烤箱里融化，melt意思是融化，化成水的意思，故选A。

【2】.第二段When she ran out of chocolate powder (粉)，she took out a chocolate bar and broke it into little pieces. She added the pieces to her cookie dough (面团) and baked (烘烤) it.详细描述了chocolate chip cookies的制作过程：取出一个巧克力棒，把它弄成小的碎片，然后把这些碎片添加到制甜酥饼干的面团，所以填(1). break it into little pieces (2). the pieces to the cookie dough。

【3】由倒数第二段Frank pulled out the frozen pop and tasted it. It was delicious. Frank started selling Epperson Icicles for 5 cents each. He later changed the name to (2) Popsicles.可知the frozen pop，Epperson Icicles和Popsicles指代的是同一种事物，即雪糕，所以填(1). frozen pop (2). Epperson Icicles。

【4】第一段中Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake.是全文的主题句，所以本文的主旨大意是有时，最伟大的事物是由于差错被发明的，所以填Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake.
