名师点评
本文介绍了发源于美国并流行于欧洲各国的电话购物法,说明了电话购物法的发展情况以及受大众欢迎的原因,同时也指出了这种购物法存在的问题,并提出了解决这些问题的途径。
答案简析
1. A。上文讲到电话购物法在欧洲也开始起步,本句承接上文,对欧洲的情况作进一步介绍,因此,应选European。
2. D。电话购物法,应通过看电视选择物品,然后电话订购, 故应选TVs。
3. D。else为副词不用来修饰名词作定语。the other things意为别的所有商品不合文意,选项many other things意为别的许多商品为正确选项。
4. B。such as中的as为介词,因此该词组用于列举时,后面常直接接名词或名词性短语。而for example用于列举时与后面例子常用逗号隔开。因此B为正确选项。
5. D。分析句子,不难发现本句使用了spend money in dong something这一结构,且主语the French为第三人称复数,故应用spend的原形。
6. B。该句子表示在德国,每天电话购物法仅在一个频道播放一个小时,这种情况一直持续到去年,表示某状态一直持续到某个点时间,应用until + 点时间。
7. C。这里open表示开放,开张,营业,本句表示电影频道对电话购物实行了开放政策,可用来进行电话购物。
8. C。很明显,电话购物法为商人销售产品提供了一个极佳的渠道。因此本句表达了商人的愿望。
9. B。without为介词。后面应跟动词的-ing形式。根据文意,going out应为正确选项。
10. B。根据本句开头的But以及下文内容,这里提到的是对电话购物持反对态度的人。故选dont。
11. A。一些人不喜欢电话购物法,称其为垃圾。故应选teleshopping。
12. C。人们担心的是电视上正在销售的产品的质量。A,B意思不对。for sale表示待售,为正确选项。
13. B。电话购物法令人们担心的是电视上展销的商品的质量,而不是商店里的商品,也不是已经买到手的商品。故选on TV。
14. B。根据上文,欧洲人的购物观念与美国人有所不同。因此电话购物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定结构be different form意为不同于为正确答案。
15. B。根据上文,消费者关心的是质量。因此电话购物公司必须对质量倍加小心。故选择quality。
