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] 【S8】
选项
答案 H
解析 固定搭配题。根据空格前的不定式符号to和空格后的up可知，这里要填的是能与up搭配使用的动词原形。本句中it指代前面的preserving with alcohol“用酒来储存”，文章此处是要表达这种方法同其他方法相比的独特优势——因为它不容易——。结合备选动词词义可知，mess“弄乱”符合句意。mess up为固定搭配，意为“弄乱”。
