问题 As she walked round the huge department store, Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always【C1】______with perfume.
Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people【C2】______on your toes, poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were【C3】______. "They are real silk," the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. "It’s【C4】______no doubt the price". But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties【C5】______ever pleased her father.
She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped【C6】______a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale—and the prices were very【C7】______. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe 【C8】______, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him.
When she got home, with her small but【C9】______present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at table having supper. Her mother was in a especially cheerful【C10】______, "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she informed her daughter. [br] 【C1】

选项 A、delighted
B、curious
C、anxious
D、fond

答案 A

解析从上文看，她母亲很容易满足，因此可以推断出她喜欢香水。四个选项中，B项和C项与句意明显不符，可首先排除。D项fond虽然表示“喜欢”，但它后面必须跟介词“of”，因此语法上不符合要求。所以正确答案应为A项，be delighted with意为“喜欢”。
