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 urge to【S1】______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【S2】______have the patience for serious canning. But there is another, easier way: boozy (含酒的) fruit. The basic【S3】______is simply to mix fruit and sugar with enough hard spirit to keep the fruit well soaked, and let it sit. You can【S4】______the liquid as a drink and eat the sweet fruit over ice cream or cake. It is about the simplest preserving method to【S5】______the life of fruits apart from freezing. And not surprisingly, it’s lately become somewhat of a【S6】______among the legion of DIY canners and fervent gardeners looking to make the most of seasonal【S7】______.
    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【S8】______up."
    Unlike making jam, which you can eat right off the stove, the【S9】______to it is that putting up fruit in alcohol is the slow road to dessert. The raw spirit and fruit need some【S10】______to get acquainted, traditionally from the end of summer harvest until Christmas.
A) produce F) preserve K) productive
B) frequently G) promote L) downside
C) trend H) mess M) premise
D) mass I) fashion N) time
E) sip J) rarely O) prolong [br] 【S2】
选项
答案 J
解析 副词辨析题。本句是由As much as引导的让步状语从句加主句的结构，要填的是主旬的谓语动词前面的词，再根据空格后面的动词have可以推知这里应填的是副词。本句意为“尽管我也喜欢让储藏室堆满自家做的果酱和果冻，但我却——有耐心去认真地制作这些罐装食品。”根据从句与主句的逻辑关系可知，此处应该用rarely“很少地”。
