　　本文介紹了發(fā)源于美國并流行于歐洲各國的電話購物法，說明了電話購物法的發(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題，并提出了解決這些問題的途徑。

　　答案簡析

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

　　2. D。電話購物法,應(yīng)通過看電視選擇物品，然后電話訂購, 故應(yīng)選TVs。

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

　　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。而for example用于列舉時(shí)與后面例子常用逗號隔開。因此B為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　5. D。分析句子，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)本句使用了spend money in dong something這一結(jié)構(gòu)，且主語the French為第三人稱復(fù)數(shù)，故應(yīng)用spend的原形。

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

　　7. C。這里open表示開放，開張，營業(yè)，本句表示電影頻道對電話購物實(shí)行了開放政策，可用來進(jìn)行電話購物。

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

　　9. B。without為介詞。后面應(yīng)跟動詞的-ing形式。根據(jù)文意，going out應(yīng)為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　10. B。根據(jù)本句開頭的But以及下文內(nèi)容，這里提到的是對電話購物持反對態(tài)度的人。故選dont。

　　11. A。一些人不喜歡電話購物法，稱其為垃圾。故應(yīng)選teleshopping。

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

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

　　14. B。根據(jù)上文，歐洲人的購物觀念與美國人有所不同。因此電話購物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定結(jié)構(gòu)be different form意為不同于為正確答案。

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