Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述随着现代技术的发展，作为顾客，我们不再是仅仅买当地生产者生产的食物．我们不仅可以买到生产于不同国家的食物，还可以买到不同季节的食物．

解答 61．a 考查冠词．have a look at意为"看一看；查看"，是固定搭配．
62．brought 考查过去分词．apples与bring之间是动宾关系，用过去分词短语brought from California作定语．
63．surprised 考查形容词．be动词后用形容词作表语．
64．is called 考查动词时态和语态．journey与call之间是动宾关系，用被动语态，因讲述的是一般事实，用一般现在时的被动语态．
65．from 考查介词．from…to…意为"从…到…"，是固定搭配．
66．went 考查动词时态．根据主句用一般过去时，原因状语从句也应用一般过去时．
67．However 考查副词．however表示转折，尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时，表示转折，其意为"可是""仍然"等．可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开．
68．locally 考查副词．produce是动词，用副词修饰．
69．which/that 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词food在从句中作主语，用关系代词which/that．
70．development 考查名词．定冠词the后接名词．
