这个题目我选A，答案是E。我感觉E里面is already approaching时态有问题。而且用现在进行时态的话那不符合already的用法。谢谢，请指教
(1)already可以一般现在时连用。used to say that a situation exists and it might get worse, greater, etc
例如：Hurry up, we're already late.
（2）从逻辑意思上说，既然后面增长的比例较大，而前面有完成进行时，似乎是说，过去n年一直在接近19 pounds a year，似乎看不出增长，所以A的时态倒是有点问题。
（3）According to the National Pasta Association的结果应该是两件并列的事情，所以用非限定从句修饰，明显不合适。
