1.Edith是在給父親買圣誕禮物，選D。

2.

3.副詞辨析。A. never 從來不；B. seldom很少； C. always 總是；D. little 幾乎沒有。從上句內(nèi)容可以判斷給母親買禮物很好買，她總是喜歡香水。選C。

4.副詞辨析。A. Therefore因此； B. Luckily 幸運(yùn)地；C. Besides 此外； D. Finally最后。上文提到給父親難選到他喜歡的禮物，和此處購物不容易是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，選C。

5.形容詞辨析。A. unhappy不開心的； B. careful 認(rèn)真的；C. exciting 令人興奮的；D. tiring累人的。從后面內(nèi)容描述的圣誕節(jié)購物期間商場里擁擠，混亂的狀況可知這時(shí)候購物是Edith不喜歡的，選A。

6.動詞辨析。A. walked 走；B. stepped 踩；C. lifted 舉起；D. stood站立。從情理可知在擁擠的人群中，人們很容易彼此踩到腳，選B。

7.動詞辨析， A. turned轉(zhuǎn)身； B. hit 擊，打；C. brought 帶來；D. knocked敲擊。此處描寫的是混亂的場面，所以是踩腳，推擠甚至是匆忙中撞到人，固定短語：knock over：撞倒某人，選D。

8.動詞辨析。A. watch觀看；B. find 發(fā)現(xiàn)；C. grasp 抓；D. sell出售。根據(jù)上下文可知人們在商場里擠的目的是為了搶到便宜的商品，選B。

9.名詞辨析。A. time 時(shí)間；B. show 展示；C. board 木板；D. duty職責(zé)。從下文售貨員的話可知商場在進(jìn)行領(lǐng)帶促銷活動，on show“在展出”，其余不符合語境，選B。

10.形容詞辨析。A. real真正的； B. cheap 便宜的；C. poor 窮的；D. exact確切的。此處是指領(lǐng)帶的材料，從搭配可知用real，real silk意思是“真正的絲綢”。

11.動詞辨析。A. hope 希望；B. ask 問；C. force 強(qiáng)迫；D. persuade說服。售貨員對顧客介紹商品，目的就是要說服顧客購買，try to persuade sb to do sth“試圖說服某人做某事”，選D。

14.名詞辨析。A. money 錢；B. cigarette 香煙；C. shapes 形狀；D. shop商店。前面提到她看到了一些煙斗，所以指煙斗的形狀好看，選C。

15.副詞辨析。 A. always 總是；B. nearly 幾乎；C. only 僅僅；D. never從來不。從once in a while判斷父親僅僅是偶爾吸煙，選C。

16.副詞辨析。A. hardly幾乎不； B. impossibly 不可能地；C. possibly可能地；D. certainly當(dāng)然。此處指她對她選擇的肯定判斷，認(rèn)為父親一定會喜歡這個(gè)煙斗，選D。

17.形容詞辨析。A. cheap 便宜的；B. well-chosen 精心選擇的；C. expensive 昂貴的；D. ready-made真正制作的。從上文內(nèi)容可知她對父親的禮物是精心挑選，文章沒有提到煙斗的價(jià)格，故選B。

18.介詞辨析。 A. on 在上面；B. by 在旁邊；C. beside 在旁邊；D. at在….里。固定短語at table“在吃飯”，其他不構(gòu)成搭配，選D。

19.名詞辨析。 A. excitement 激動，興奮；B. anger生氣；C. sadness 傷心；難過；D. disappointment失望。從下文she told her daughter happily可以判斷母親對父親戒煙很高興，所以是興奮地說。
