2、A relaxation B rest C exercise D research
3、A similar B inclusive C contradictory D different

5、A cheap B fashionable C presentable D perfect
参考答案&解析:
1、D 从下文的“music”(音乐),“hardware”(硬件)判断,“coats”(外套),pants(裤子),socks(袜子)都不是合适的选择,因为它们都不能与“music”和“hardware”构成一个比较自然的类别,所以惟有“books”是合适的选择。另外,紧随其后的一句话中也出现了“books”这个词,这是提示。
2、D 该题问的是:男人们不把买书和音乐制品看作是购物,那么他们把它看作是什么呢?从下面的三段提供的信息来看,“research”(研究)比“relaxation”(放松),“rest”(休息),“exercise”(锻炼)更合适一点。
3、D 该题问的是:男人们和女人们在称之为“买东西”和行事方式上都会怎么样?所在的句子实际上是对前面文章的总结。所以合适的选择是“different”。“similar”(相似的)、 “contradictory”(矛盾的)和“inclusive”(兼容的)都不构成答案。
4、A 买东西是需要来回看的,这是常识。另外,紧随其后的句子中也用了“wander”(漫游)这个词。
5、D 上文中出现了“perfect”(完美的)。注意:文章始终在把男人与女人做比较。因此此处也应用“perfect”。
