11-15 CCACD
「答案解析」
1. C 第一段第一个句子是主题句，说的是：Eric Brown讨厌买东西。因此shopping是合适的选择。
2. A 语境是这样的：当我出去买东西时，我基本上已经知道我要买什么。我冲了进去，买了后显然，填入get out是连贯的。stay in是在家里呆着，look round是环顾，move about是闲荡，不难看出，这些都不是合适的选择。
3. B 第二段的第一个句子说的是：一般的认识认为，男人讨厌买东西。第三句的起始词是But，它告诉我们意思将发生转折，因而challenging是合适的选择。confirming是确认的意思，proving是证明，supporting是支持。
4. A 第三段的第一个句子引自纽约城市大学社会学教授Sharon Zukin的话，大意是：在社会阶层、种族特点、年龄上是有差异的，男人都说他们讨厌买东西。可以看出，合适的选择是Regardless of，Because of，Owing to，Thanks to都表示原因，插入后意思上是不连贯的。
5. B 紧接着第三段第一个句子的后一个句子由Yet起始， 这个词提示我们由它引导的句子在意思上跟上一个句子构成对比。由于上一个句子说的是男人们讨厌买东西，那么这个句子应当说的是男人们实际上是喜欢买东西的。因此，like是合适的选择。
6. D 从下文的music，hardware判断，coats，pants，socks都不是合适的选择，因为它们都不能与music和hardware构成一个比较自然的类别，所以唯有books是合适的选择。另外，紧随其后的一句话中也出现了books这个词，这是提示。
7. D 该题问的是：男人们不把买书和音乐制品看做是购物，那么他们把它看做是什么呢? 从下面的三段提供的信息来看，research比relaxation，rest，exercise更合适一点。
8. D 该题问的是：男人们和女人们在称之为买东西和行事方式上都会怎么样? 所在的句子实际上是对前面文章的总结。所以合适的选择是different。 similar、 contradictory和inclusive都不构成答案。
9. A 买东西是需要来回看的， 这是常识。另外，紧随其后的句子中也用了wander这个词。
10. D 上文中出现了perfect。注意：文章始终在把男人与女人做比较。因此此处也应用perfect。
11. D 注意紧随其后的动词不定式to be won，只能是game。won在语义上搭配的。
12.C 这个句子要表达的是：这会使得他们快乐。makes是正确的。如果用brings，须改原文：it brings them happiness. 或it brings happiness to them. 如用causes，也须改原文：it causes them to be come happy.it keeps them happy.是可以说的，但它的意思是：他们原来就快乐。但是，是否如此? 文章没有说。
13.A nobody，no one和anybody用于否定的语境。但该句子提供的不是一种否定的语境，因此，正确的选择是everybody。
14.C 至此文章都是在说男女之间的差别，因而division是理想的选择。整个句子说的是：事实上，在服装方面最能清楚地把男女区分开来。competition是竞争，comparison是比较，confrontation是对抗。
15.D 对许多男人来说，选择的范围越窄，买衣服越方便。因此narrow是合适的选择。
