Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were【C1】______ to find the cause of the consumers’ seemingly unreasonable【C2】______ to the product. The reason given by most people was【C3】______   for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be【C4】______ reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of【C5】______  research’s classic studies, one often cited in the trade.

选项 A、as far as
B、because
C、when
D、even if
答案A
解析 语篇衔接题。本句的意思是：“测试要求这些参与调查的女性认真研究清单，然后尽可能详细地描述她们心目中制定清单的会是什么样的女性。”题目考查上下文逻辑关系。根据上下文，被调查者应就她们所能来描绘制定清单者。选项A  as far as意思“是”尽；就；“至于”，例如：As far as I know，he has gone to town．(就我所知，他到镇子上去了。)综上所述，as far as符合句子意思。因此选项A为正确答案。
