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.
What can we infer from the text?
选项 A、People can now feel relieved about the nutrition in McDonald’s food.
B、We can no longer find French fries in children’s Happy Meal.
C、Fries, drinks and sandwiches are regarded as fatandcalories laden.
D、McDonald spends $80 billion on fresh fruits and vegetables.
答案C
解析 文章的第四段提到，麦当劳提供的炸薯条、饮料和三明治被认为是含高热量的食品，所以本题答案为C。本文只说了麦当劳改变食品的尝试，并不表示人们可以放心的食用麦当劳，所以A错误。而儿童乐园套餐中的薯条换成“apple dipper’’也只是部分这样，并不是所有的麦当劳餐厅都替换，所以B错误。文中提到的800亿美金是整个美国的农产品业，而不是麦当劳一家公司的采购额，所以D错误。
