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
【S9】
选项
答案L
解析 名词辨析题。空格位于the的后面，因此应该填入一个名词。空格前的句意为“制果酱的话，我们可以随时在炉子旁品尝”；空格后的句意为“把水果浸泡在酒中储存的方法比较耗时”。对比空格前后的内容可知，downside“劣势”符合句意。
