The underlined word "duplicated" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______
A.make double
B.make a copy of
C.produce something equal to
D.take from
参考答案:C
解析:[分析] 推断题型。 从第二段前几句得知:Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized.(有些天然香料可以很容易地进行人工合成。)Other fragrances,however,have dozens, even hundreds of components.(而有些却包含有几十甚至上百种成分——言外之意,较难合成。)Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy.(只是到了最近,由于使用气相色谱分析和分光镜才能分离或鉴别出这些成分。)Once the chemical identity is known,it is often possible to synthesize them.(一旦了解了它们的化学成分,人们就有可能将之合成。)Nevertheless, some complex substances, (然而仍有一些复杂的成分,如新鲜咖啡的香味难以合成得令人满意。);由此可推断出很难合成与新鲜咖啡香味相同的香料。选项C内容与此意最接近,所以是答案。
