You will also learn important information about 24 for fresh and inexpensive foods, the use of herbs and spices, and the proper ways of storing different kinds of food.
答案：(A) shopping
語意「關於購買新鮮又便宜食物的重要資訊」，shopping for（採購/購買）符合固定用法；buying for（不是常見字詞搭配）、marketing for（行銷，語意不合）、growing for（種植，這裡是購買不是種植）都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都與「買」或「取得食材」有關，而 buying 是最直接的翻譯，很容易第一眼就選它。但空格後面那個 for 會刷掉它。
先看空格後面：information about ___ for fresh and inexpensive foods（關於……新鮮又便宜食材的資訊）。注意 for 這個介系詞——問題變成「哪一個動詞配得上 for」。shop for 是通行的說法，意思是「採買、選購」（shop for groceries 買生鮮雜貨、go shopping for clothes 去買衣服），所以填 shopping。buy 不行：它是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞（buy food 買食物）；buy for somebody 是「買給某人」，for 後面接的是人不是東西，語意也不對。market 當動詞是「行銷、推銷」，方向完全相反——那是賣方在做的事，不是買方。grow for 講的是為了某個目的而種植，與「採買」無關。這一招與同一批 91 年補考第 28 題完全相同：那一題是空格後面有 into，所以找 get；本題是後面有 for，所以找 shop。看到空格後面的介系詞，先拿它去刷選項。
buying：及物，不接 for（buy for sb 的 for 接的是人）。marketing（行銷）：方向相反，那是賣方的行為。growing（種植）：與採買無關。
shop for（採買、選購）、go shopping for（去買……）、buy sth for sb（買某物給某人）、herbs and spices（香草與香料）、store food（儲存食物）、fresh and inexpensive（新鮮又便宜的）。
