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.
Why could McDonald influence the grow of the fruits?

选项 A、Because McDonald will supervise the process of fruits growing.
B、Because more highquality fruits are needed to make nutritional McDonald food.
C、Because McDonald is going to run an orchard itself.
D、Because how the fruits are grown matters the cost of McDonald food.

答案A

解析 本题可用排除法:A(麦当劳监督水果的生K过程)和C(麦当劳会自己经营一个果园)在文中没有提到。而D,水果长得如何的确会影响麦当劳的食品,不过不一定就是在价格方面,所以D错误。
