问题     Each day, 50,000 shiny, fireenginered apples work their way through a sprawling factory in Swedesboro, N.J. Inside, 26 machines wash them, core them, peel them, seed them, slice them and chill them. At the end of the line, they are deposited into little green bags featuring a jogging Ronald McDonald.
    From there, the bags make their way in refrigerated trucks to thousands of McDonald’s restaurants up and down the Eastern Seaboard. No more than 14 days after leaving the plant, the fruit will take the place of French fries in some child’s Happy Meal. The apple slices, called Apple Dippers, are a symbol of how McDonald’s is trying to offer healthier food to its customers? And to answer the many critics who contend that most of its menu is of poor nutritional quality.
    It remains to be seen whether these new offerings will assuage the concerns of public health officials and other critics of McDonald’s highly processed fat and calorie—laden sandwiches, drinks and fries. So far, they have notat least not entirely. But this much is already clear: Just as its staple burgerandfries meals have made McDonald’s the largest single buyer of beef and potatoes in the country, its new focus on fresh fruits and vegetables is making the company a major player in the $80 billion American produce industry.
    The potential impact goes beyond dollars and cents. Some people believe that McDonald’s could influence not only the volume, variety and prices of fruit and produce in the nation but also how they are grown.
Which of the following statement is true according to the text?
选项 A、Health officials and other critics’ attitude towards McDonald’s food has changed magnificently.
B、Each year, McDonald consumes the largest amount of potatoes and beef throughout the U.S.
C、Rising price of fruits is the only aspect of McDonald’s action.
D、Carefully chosen lureenginered apples are made into McDonald food after 14 days leaving the plant.
答案B
解析 第四段的第三句有B项的原文。麦当劳改变食品的尝试正在进行中，作者并没有说社会的反响，所以A没有根据。文章的最后一句说麦当劳能够影响农产品的各个方面，当然不只是提高价格，所以C不正确。文中说，不超过14天，苹果就能在麦当劳的食品中出现，而并不一定就正好是14天，所以D错误。
