Have you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜) ? If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U. S. Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.
A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U. S. At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.
The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U. S. president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U. S. president, was also a fan of the fruit. He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.
The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very special environment—low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.
Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states, farmers have organized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice cream and beer.
[br] It is difficult to sell the pawpaw on a large scale for the following reasons EXCEPT that the fruit______.
选项
A、requires a very special environment
B、has a very short harvest season
C、does not taste good
D、is difficult to preserve after harvesting
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据文章第四段第二句可知,木瓜需要一个非常特殊的环境,因此选项A(需要一种非常特殊的环境)与原文意思相符。根据第四段第三句可知,木瓜的收获季节很短,选项B(收获季节很短)与原文意思相符。根据本段第四句可知,木瓜收获后的两三天内吃掉是最好的,选项D(收获后很难保存)与原文意思相符。选项C(不好吃)文中未提及,故本题选C。
