问题    As the recent courgette(密生西葫芦)crisis and shortages of lettuce, eggplants and broccoli(绿花椰菜)have shown, Spain’s fame as the vegetable garden of Europe is well deserved. The country’s huge agricultural sector—courgettes, lettuces, tomatoes and strawberries—【C1】______a huge demand.
   There has been a major【C2】______towards mechanisation since the 1950s, but just as in the UK, many crops still need to be harvested by hand, and many farmers rely on migrant labour. Even where mechanisation can be used, picking machines tend to be too expensive and【C3】______for small-scale farmers.
   The tension between locals and migrant workers,【C4】______from North and Sub-Saharan Africa and eastern Europe—is not a big problem, as many of the foreign workers have proper【C5】______and return to the same farms year after year. They’re known and that’s important.
   Alfrut—a company in the south-western province of Huelva that exports strawberries, raspberries, and other fruits around the EU—still harvests by hand. " There is a machine that gathers strawberries, but you have to【C6】______the crop to the machine," says Agustin Muriel, a technical and quality control expert at Alfrut. " If we were to use machines, we would have to【C7】______our entire infrastructure and it would require a lot of investment in machinery, which is designed mainly for large areas and really big companies. "
   He adds that the【C8】______, manual approach is likely to continue for the【C9】______future, as fruit prices aren’t high enough to allow farmers to make big【C10】______in machinery or spend money reconfiguring(重新配置)their operations.
A)adapt I)investments
B)attach J)modify
C)contracts K)predominantly
D)feeds L)preference
E)foreseeable M)shift
F)heralds N)traditional
G)impractical O)unexpectedly
H)inaccessible
【C6】
选项
答案A
解析 空格位于情态动词结构have to之后，名词crop之前，故应填入动词原形。该句意为“虽然有了可以采摘草莓的机械，但是不得不让作物______机械”，紧接着下一句提到了如果使用机械，需要修整整个农场的基础设施，可见此处是说目前还需要让作物适应机械设备，故空格处应填入A)adapt“(使)适应”。
