 G 根據(jù)下一句the cocoa bean was used to make a chocolate drink that the people enjoyed very much說明那個時候的人只是把可可豆制成飲料來喝，并不是真正地吃可可豆，故G項正確。

 E 根據(jù)下句中的One of the items he sold說明他所賣的東西，那么他應(yīng)該是開了一家商店，故E項符合上下文。

 A 根據(jù)上一句At first, chocolate was a luxury and only the rich people could afford it說明剛剛開始的時候，這種東西很貴，只有富人才消費得起，A項內(nèi)容符合上下文的串聯(lián)，指后面一般人也可以享受了。

 C 根據(jù)下一句Milk chocolate came later說明一開始并沒有這樣的milk chocolate，故C項內(nèi)容符合上下文。

 D 根據(jù)前句The Cadbury factory is still in Birmingham and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the world.說明現(xiàn)在這家工廠還存在，并生產(chǎn)。故D項每年很多人都取參觀符合上下文。
