A。上文讲到电话购物法在欧洲也开始起步，本句承接上文，对欧洲的情况作进一步介绍，因此，应选European。‎ ‎2. D。电话购物法,应通过看电视选择物品，然后电话订购, 故应选TVs。‎ ‎3. D。else为副词不用来修饰名词作定语。the other things意为“别的所有商品”不合文意，选项many other things意为“别的许多商品”为正确选项。‎ ‎4. B。such as中的as为介词，因此该词组用于列举时，后面常直接接名词或名词性短语。而for example用于列举时与后面例子常用逗号隔开。因此B为正确选项。‎ ‎5. D。分析句子，不难发现本句使用了“spend money in dong something”这一结构，且主语the French为第三人称复数，故应用spend的原形。‎ ‎6. B。该句子表示“在德国，每天电话购物法仅在一个频道播放一个小时，这种情况一直持续到去年”，表示某状态一直持续到某个点时间，应用“until + 点时间”。‎ ‎7. C。这里open表示“开放，开张，营业”，本句表示电影频道对电话购物实行了开放政策，可用来进行电话购物。‎ ‎8. C。很明显，电话购物法为商人销售产品提供了一个极佳的渠道。因此本句表达了商人的愿望。‎ ‎9. B。without为介词。后面应跟动词的-ing形式。根据文意，going out应为正确选项。‎ ‎10. B。根据本句开头的But以及下文内容，这里提到的是对电话购物持反对态度的人。故选don’t。‎ ‎11. A。一些人不喜欢电话购物法，称其为“垃圾”。故应选teleshopping。‎ ‎12. C。人们担心的是电视上正在销售的产品的质量。A，B意思不对。for sale表示“待售”，为正确选项。‎ ‎13. B。电话购物法令人们担心的是电视上展销的商品的质量，而不是商店里的商品，也不是已经买到手的商品。故选on TV。‎ ‎14. B。根据上文，欧洲人的购物观念与美国人有所不同。因此电话购物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定结构be different form意为“不同于……”为正确答案。‎ ‎15. B。根据上文，消费者关心的是质量。因此电话购物公司必须对质量倍加小心。故选择quality。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
