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. [br] Why is McDonald using fruit production to take the place of traditional French fries?
选项 A、Price of potato is increasing.
B、Apple is adored by more people.
C、McDonald wants to make their food diversified.
D、Fruit production, for instant, apple is of higher nutrition.
答案 D
解析 第三段的意思是麦当劳在尝试售出更加健康的食品给她们的顾客，同时回应那些对她的食品中没有营养价值的批评。所以，换成水果是因为富有营养，答案为D。选项A和B没有根：据。而选项C中，diversified的意思是多样化的，文中没有提到，所以不能选。
