名師點(diǎn)評

本文介紹了發(fā)源于美國并流行于歐洲各國的電話(huà)購物法，說(shuō)明了電話(huà)購物法的發(fā)展情況以及受大眾歡迎的原因，同時(shí)也指出了這種購物法存在的問(wèn)題，并提出了解決這些問(wèn)題的途徑。 #p#分頁(yè)標題#e#

答案解析在下一頁(yè)

1. A。上文講到電話(huà)購物法在歐洲也開(kāi)始起步，本句承接上文，對歐洲的情況作進(jìn)一步介紹，因此，應選European。

2. D。電話(huà)購物法,應通過(guò)看電視選擇物品，然后電話(huà)訂購, 故應選TVs。

3. D。else為副詞不用來(lái)修飾名詞作定語(yǔ)。the other things意為“別的所有商品”不合文意，選項many other things意為“別的許多商品”為正確選項。

4. B。such as中的as為介詞，因此該詞組用于列舉時(shí)，后面常直接接名詞或名詞性短語(yǔ)。而for example用于列舉時(shí)與后面例子常用逗號隔開(kāi)。因此B為正確選項。

5. D。分析句子，不難發(fā)現本句使用了“spend money in dong something”這一結構，且主語(yǔ)the French為第三人稱(chēng)復數，故應用spend的原形。

6. B。該句子表示“在德國，每天電話(huà)購物法僅在一個(gè)頻道播放一個(gè)小時(shí)，這種情況一直持續到去年”，表示某狀態(tài)一直持續到某個(gè)點(diǎn)時(shí)間，應用“until 點(diǎn)時(shí)間”。

7. C。這里open表示“開(kāi)放，開(kāi)張，營(yíng)業(yè)”，本句表示電影頻道對電話(huà)購物實(shí)行了開(kāi)放政策，可用來(lái)進(jìn)行電話(huà)購物。

8. C。很明顯，電話(huà)購物法為商人銷(xiāo)售產(chǎn)品提供了一個(gè)極佳的渠道。因此本句表達了商人的愿望。

9. B。without為介詞。后面應跟動(dòng)詞的-ing形式。根據文意，going out應為正確選項。

10. B。根據本句開(kāi)頭的But以及下文內容，這里提到的是對電話(huà)購物持反對態(tài)度的人。故選don’t。

11. A。一些人不喜歡電話(huà)購物法，稱(chēng)其為“垃圾”。故應選teleshopping。

12. C。人們擔心的是電視上正在銷(xiāo)售的產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量。A，B意思不對。for sale表示“待售”，為正確選項。

13. B。電話(huà)購物法令人們擔心的是電視上展銷(xiāo)的商品的質(zhì)量，而不是商店里的商品，也不是已經(jīng)買(mǎi)到手的商品。故選on TV。

14. B。根據上文，歐洲人的購物觀(guān)念與美國人有所不同。因此電話(huà)購物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定結構be different form意為“不同于……”為正確答案。

15. B。根據上文，消費者關(guān)心的是質(zhì)量。因此電話(huà)購物公司必須對質(zhì)量倍加小心。故選擇quality。
