Bred t be mre sweeter, tday’s cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used — t but nt necessarily better. Amng fruit farmers, the wrd “quality” is nw rutinely used as a standard fr “high in sugar”, thugh firmness, clr and size are als cnsideratins. In a recent study abut ways t enhance the sweetness f fruit using “mlecular (分子的) appraches”, a grup f plant scientists wrte that, in general, the sugar cntent f many fruits are nw higher than befre wing t cntinuus selectin and breeding. Mdern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were n average sweeter than lder nes.
The sweetness f fruit depends nt just n hw it is bred but als n grwing cnditins, yield and harvest. The lead researcher, Sugiura, said, “If yu culd taste an apple harvested 30 years ag, yu wuld feel the difference.” He believed that mdern apples are picked s early that even if they are bred fr sweetness, they ften dn’t develp their full character. The fragrance (香味) never develps in fruit that is harvested t early.
Jim Cper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful t admit the fact that many peple will never taste the “strawberry hint” in a really ripe Pearmain, a type f heritage apple. In a way, the rise f cnsistently sweeter fruit in ur lifetimes has been a victry f plant breeding. After all, it’s a rare persn wh wuld seek ut bitter grapes if they culd have sweet nes instead.
But the sweetness f mdern fruit is nt withut its prblems, especially fr peple with diabetes (糖尿病), wh have t reduce their intake f higher-sugar fruits. Fruit that is bred sweeter als tends t be lwer in the chemicals that make it healthy. Cnsidering health, maybe the real prblem with mdern fruit is that it has becme yet anther sweet thing in a wrld with sugar. Even grapefruits, which used t be quite bitter, are smetimes nw as sweet as ranges. If yu’ve never tasted a sur cherry, hw can yu fully appreciate a sweet ne?
27．In what aspect is many fruits different frm befre?
A. Sugar cntent.B. Sft skin.C. Bright clr.D. High yield.
28．Why did Sugiura express discntent with the present fruits?
A. They are bred t early.B. They taste s sweet.
C. They are lsing a gd flavr.D. They need a higher yield.
29．What is Cper’s attitude twards mdern fruit breeding?
A. Favrable.B. Critical.C. Ambiguus.D. Indifferent.
30．What des the last paragraph mean?
A. It’s a wise chice t breed fruits fr sweetness.
B. Breeding sweet fruits imprves the quality f fruits.
C. Sme fruits like grapes and cherries taste the same.
D. The sweetness f fruits will cause health issues.
