"Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they(5)to shop. Men generally like to shop for(6), music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they’ll say ’Well that’s not shopping. That’s(7) .’" In other words, what men and women call "buying things" and how they approach that task are(8). Women will(9)through several 1,000-square-metre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the(10)digital camcorder.

When women shop, "they’re doing it in a way where they want(13)to be very happy," says McGrath. "They’re kind of shopping for love."
In fact, it is in clothing where we see a male-female(14)most clearly. Why, grumble some men, are all male clothes navy, grey, black or brown? But would they wear Light green and pink?
"These days, many guys wear a sort of uniform", says Paco Underhill, author of Why We Bye, "It’s been hard for them to understand what it means to be fashion-conscious in a business way. It becomes much, much easier if you(15)your range of choices."

ethnicity n. 种族特点
camcorder n. 摄像放像机
选项
A、Regardless of
B、Because of
C、Owing to
D、Thanks to
答案
A
解析
第三段的第一个句子引自纽约城市大学社会学教授Sharon Zukin的话,大意是“……在社会阶层、种族特点、年龄上是有差异的,男人都说他们讨厌买东西。”可以看出,合适的选择是regardless of(不管),because of,owing to,thanks to都表示“原因”,插入后意思上是不连贯的。
