1. A) 此空和shoplifting, long lines为并列结构，构成介词of的 宾语，因此选项B和C可以排除;而选项D problems与of结构所修饰的problems有冲突，故只 有选项A为正确答案。

2. B) 此空涉及固定搭配。come up with意为“提出，跟上”。come along with意为“随同”，意义不符。

3. A) 通过分析此空所在句可知，现在光顾一家OK超市的顾客推着一辆拴有 一个塑料卡片的手推车从货架上购物，因此空白处需要一个介词引导一个复杂宾语结构来修 饰名词a cart，四个选项中只有with有此功能。

4. A) 根据短文，这类超市发放的带有磁码的塑料卡片由每位顾客在购物 时携带，出超市时在出口处被收集回来，因此此空应选A collected “收集，回收”，其它 各选项意义不符。

5. D) 根据句义(顾客不管想买哪种商品他都需要把卡片插到这种商品旁边 的插口里，然后按一下按钮。)和结构(此空需要一个联接词语作介词beside的宾语)可知 选项D为正确答案。

6. C) 电脑知道所有商品的价格，故C为正确答案。

7. B) 此题涉及动词意义搭配问题，feed意为“送入，插入”。

8. C) 经过分析可推断句义为“一旦你碰了一件商品，不管你把塑料片藏到 哪儿，即便是吃到肚子里，电脑也会记录下来。”，从而断定答案为C。

9. B) 此句带有比较状语从句，故空白处词应与句子主语相对应。friend和 neighbour不合逻辑，只有colleague为正确答案。

10. A) 此句是一例子，故答案为A。

11. B) “be about to”意为“即将发生…”。

12. A) 根据句义应为A warns。

13. A) “change one’s mind at” 为固定搭配。

14. D) 根据上文可知如果你碰了某种商品，电脑就会记录下来，从而推测 此句句义为“一旦你碰了某个商品，就不能放回去了。”因此本题正确答案为D。
