问题         I’m going to talk about the preserving of fruits here. At the end of every summer, as the heaps of fresh fruit start to dwindle (减少) at the farmers’ markets, the【C1】________to preserve it all pulls strong.
        As much as I love the idea of a pantry (食品储藏室) full of homemade jams, jellies, I【C2】________have the patience for serious canning. But there is another, easier way: boozy (含酒的) fruit. The basic【C3】________is simply to mix fruit and sugar with enough hard spirits to keep the fruit well soaked, and let it sit. You can【C4】________the liquid as a drink and eat the sweet fruit over ice cream or cake. It is about the simplest preserving method to【C5】________the life of fruits apart from freezing. And not surprisingly, it’s lately become somewhat of a【C6】________among the legion of DIY canners and fervent gardeners looking to make the most of seasonal【C7】________.
        For Amy Pennington, a professional gardener in Seattle, "There’s drying, salting, and canning, but preserving with alcohol is the lowest grade of entry for beginning canning enthusiasts. " because it’s hard to【C8】________up.
        Unlike making jam, which you can eat right off the stove, the【C9】________to it is that putting up fruit in alcohol is the slow road to dessert. The raw spirits and fruit need some【C10】________to get acquainted, traditionally from the end of summer harvest until Christmas.
A) downside
B) fashion
C) frequently
D) mass
E) mess
F) premise
G) produce
H) productive
I) prolong
J) promote
K) rarely
L) sip
M) time
N) trend
O) urge
【C10】
选项
答案M
解析 上一句说酒腌水果耗时，本句说明原因，主语是The raw spirits and fruit（未经发酵的酒和水果），空格后的to get acquainted意为“熟悉”，引申为“融为一体”，这明显需要时间，time“时间”符合句意，故为答案。
