5.。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都可以表示花費(fèi)，但A. 句型為It takes sb. some time to do sth. ； B. cost 主語是物；C，D. 用spend on sth./ in doing sth.。句意： 在法國有兩大電話購物頻道，法國人每年通過這些頻道買東西花費(fèi)大約2千萬。 the French 指全體法國人是復(fù)數(shù)意義，故后面動(dòng)詞用原形，選D。

6.。 A. to 到，向；B. Until直到……；C. unless 除非；D. by 在……之前。句意：在德國，在去年之前電話購物每天只可能在一個(gè)頻道上播放一小時(shí)。根據(jù)下一句Then the government allowed more teleshopping. 可知以前是不允許太多電話購物的，故選D。

7.。A. begin 開始；B. leave離開； C. open打開；D. turn on打開（開關(guān)，煤氣等）。句意：其他頻道可以向電話商務(wù)開放，包括最大的美國電話購物公司和一個(gè)24小時(shí)電話購物公司。根據(jù)句意可知選C。

15.。 A. the number 數(shù)量；B. the quality質(zhì)量；C. the places 地方； D. the buyers購買者。句意：他們將不得不更加注意所賣東西的質(zhì)量。根據(jù)上文可知?dú)W洲人關(guān)心消費(fèi)品的質(zhì)量，因此公司應(yīng)更注重質(zhì)量，故選B。
