Shopping for Clothes
　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in __51__. He knows what he wants, and his __52__ is to find it and buy it. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones __53__.
　　For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that __54__ the salesman tries to sell the customer something else — he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with __55__: "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It __56__ to be the colour you mentioned." Few men have __57__ with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be __58__ my time and yours by trying it on."
　　For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the __59__ way. Her shopping is not often __60__ on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion, willing to try __61__ any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that __62__ thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected __63__. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another __64__ selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) __65__one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

　　「答案解析」本题考查搭配、文章理解方面的能力，属于综合性考查项目。本部分的得分高低与你平时的针对性训练并无多大关系，重点在于你的知识积累和你的词汇、语法以及基本的翻译能力。从考查内容上看，主要考查介词、形容词、副词、动词搭配以及连词，对名词和动词考查较少。应对的策略主要是记住考试大纲中出现的搭配。像第51题的in advance，第53题的to someones satisfaction, 第54题的in that case, 第60题的base on, 第61题的try on都是反复出现的短语。另外，必要的词汇量是必须的。
