Levi Strauss was born in Germany, and【C1】______to America when young. In 1853 he took his dreams to San Francisco. There his dream, to succeed【C2】______true.
Many of Levi Strauss’【C3】______were cowboys and miners,【C4】______needed clothing that was【C5】______and durable. Strauss found a【C6】______fabric that was comfortable and lasted a long time,【C7】______"serge de Nimes," which was later【C8】______to the word denim.
Jacob Davis, a【C9】______, bought large mounts of the denim fabric from Levi Strauss. One of his customers was【C10】______tearing the pockets【C11】______his pants. So Jacob Davis decided to put rivets (铆钉) on【C12】______parts of the pants to make them stronger. The customer【C13】______the new pants【C14】______much that he told all his Mends, and soon Jacob Davis was busy【C15】______pants with rivets.
Jacob Davis【C16】______that using rivets was a great business idea, and he didn’t want anybody to【C17】______that. He decided to get a patent (专利权). But【C18】______poor, he couldn’t【C19】______the patent. So he went to Levi Strauss. He said, "If you agree to pay for the patent, we will【C20】______the profits." Levi Strauss agreed, and the new business was born. Today Levi’s name is more popular than before.
【C19】
选项
A、buy
B、afford
C、pay
D、order
答案
B
解析
前文说Jacob Davis很穷,所以这里表达的意思是他承担不起申请专利权所需的费用。注意,专利权不是买来的因此不能与buy搭配。此外pay也有一定的迷惑性,为某物而花钱一般用pay for sth.。所以本题选择afford。
