1．C 第一段第一個句子是主題句，說的是：Eric Brown討厭買東西。因此“shopping”是合適的選擇。

2．A 語境是這樣的：當(dāng)我出去買東西時，我基本上已經(jīng)知道我要買什么。我沖了進(jìn)去，買了后……顯然，填入“get out”(出去)是連貫的�！皊tay in”是“在家里呆著”，“l(fā)ook round”是“環(huán)顧”，“move about”是“閑蕩”，不難看出，這些都不是合適的選擇。

3．B 第二段的第一個句子說的是：一般的認(rèn)識認(rèn)為，男人討厭買東西。第三句的起始詞是“But”，它告訴我們意思將發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)折，因而“challenging”是合適的選擇�！癱onfirming”是“確認(rèn)”的意思，“proving”是“證明”，“supporting”是“支持”。

4．A 第三段的第一個句子引自紐約城市大學(xué)社會學(xué)教授Sharon Zukin的話，大意是：……在社會階層、種族特點、年齡上是有差異的，男人都說他們討厭買東西�？梢钥闯�，合適的選擇是“Regardless of”(不管)，“Because of”，“Owing to”，“Thanks to”都表示“原因”，插入后意思上是不連貫的。

5．B 緊接著第三段第一個句子的后一個句子由“Yet”起始，這個詞提示我們由它引導(dǎo)的句子在意思上跟上一個句子構(gòu)成對比。由于上一個句子說的是“男人們討厭買東西”，那么這個句子應(yīng)當(dāng)說的是男人們實際上是喜歡買東西的。因此，“l(fā)ike”是合適的選擇。
