Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in __1__. He knows what he wants, and his __2__ is to find it and buy it. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s __3__.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that __4__ the salesman tries to sell the customer something else - he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with __5__: "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It __6__ to be the colour you mentioned." Few men have __7__ with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be __8__ my time and yours by trying it on."
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the __9__ way. Her shopping is not often __10__ on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion, willing to try __11__ any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that __12__ thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected __13__. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman nay easily spend an hour going from one rail to another __14__ selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) __15__one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

参考答案：B、A、D、C、B 、A、D、B、C、D 、A、D、B、A、C
答案解析：
1. “in advance”，固定搭配，意思为“预先，提前”
2. A objective 目的，B need 需要，C dream梦想，D reason原因，空白处后面紧跟着不定式形式to find it and buy it，在这里不定式表示目的，所以答案选择A更加合适。
3. “to one’s sadness”令某人伤心，to one’s amusement 令人觉得有趣，to one’s surprise 令某人惊讶，to one’s satisfaction 令某人满意。空白处前面的句子指出，如果店里有货的话，五分钟之内就能完成交易，无需闲聊，很显然这样的买卖是令人满意的，答案选择D.
4. 空白处前面的that指代的是前面的那句话，而这句话指的是一种情况，所以此处填写case更加合适，in that case意思为在那种情况下，所以本题答案为C.
5. 好的售货员需要技巧，所以此处选择B. care关心，attention注意力，interest兴趣。
6. it happens to do（ It happens that），固定搭配，意思为碰巧，恰巧，所以答案选择A.
7. A experience 经验，C interest 兴趣，D patience 耐心，根据现实情况考虑，对于顾客来说，对于售货员的推销介绍有的时候会没有耐心，直接购买此产品，这也是售货员的推销技巧，所以本题答案选择D.
8. Waste one’s time固定搭配，意思为“浪费某人的时间”，所以答案选择B.
9. 我们知道男人和女人买衣服是不同的，作者在第二段讲述了男人买衣服的特点，在第三段要对女性购买物品进行介绍，两者显然是不一样的描述，所以本题选择C opposite way，意思为不同的方式。
10.这句话的意思是说女性买东西是基于有所需要，be based on 基于…。答案选择D.
11.Try on固定搭配，意思为“试穿，试戴，试用”，答案选择A.
12.女性在买东西的时候都希望自己买的东西别人要认为很适合自己，所以此处选择D everyone 每个人，A nobody没人B someone 某人C surprise吃惊，惊讶。
13.女性在买东西的时候喜欢讨价还价，所以此处选择B bargain。
14.女性在试穿自己喜欢的衣服之前，要进行衣服的'挑选，所以答案选择A before，在…之前。
15.空白处前面说买衣服的过程tiresome很烦人，但是后面紧接着使用了but作为转折，所以but后面的词一定是和tiresome意义相反的词，答案选择C enjoyable 快乐的，而D项的graceful意思为优雅的，与本题要表达的意思不符。
