解析:

1. D　keep a sharp lookout for是固定短語，意思為：“當(dāng)心，注視”。

2. C　根據(jù)語義，“買完了她所需要的東西”。

3. B　根據(jù)下句“l(fā)ooking in furniture-shop windows”可知，她是在逛街。

4. A　有定語從句she liked best 修飾，應(yīng)該用特指 in the way的形式，意思為：“用她最喜歡的方法”。

5. A　 選項 B. noisy和C. large有干擾性，但從該句的信息詞found可知，應(yīng)該選A：new。

6. B　 根據(jù)文義，在商店門口貼著的應(yīng)該是廣告牌、告示等。

7. D　 根據(jù)句義“告示邀請人進(jìn)來看看，不用覺得必須買東西”。

8. B　 句義應(yīng)該是: “她走進(jìn)去之前，猶豫了片刻”。

9. D　根據(jù)下文中There was a card on the chair which said ，“This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week，”可知，她應(yīng)該是驚喜的停下來。

10. D　上面寫著什么，應(yīng)用say或read。

11. B　根據(jù)文中 A pound a week…一句可得出答案：miss。

12. A　make somebody surprised.。B、C兩項不合題意，A. jump“(因喜悅、吃驚、緊張等)躍起，跳動，劇跳”。

13. A　根據(jù)前句A voice at her shoulder made her…可知，應(yīng)該選round，look round 掉頭看，環(huán)顧。

14. D　 售貨員已走到她面前。

15. B　 根據(jù)語境可知。

16. C　根據(jù)實際情況，顧客應(yīng)該去展廳看貨物，而不是去儲藏室。

17. A　fit是指衣服的大小、尺寸合身。suit是指衣服的顏色、款式適合某人，還可以有更廣泛的意思，時間等適合某人，什么東西使某人中意。

18. C  A項advised，勸告、建議，對方不一定去干，而persuaded.說服某人干什么，強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)果對方被說服了，此處正是她擔(dān)心被說服買不需要的東西。

19. D 由18可知答案:need

20. C由上文中worried at…可知，應(yīng)是匆匆離開商店。
