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] 【C6】
选项 A、where
B、because
C、immediately
D、when
答案 B
解析 上文指出，她继续勉强前行，然后非常偶然地停了下来。下文应该是说明停下来的原因。B项是个引导原因状语从句的连词，在此符合句意，故是正确答案。C项是个副词，后不接从句，A项和D项分别引导地点和时间状语从句，也不合句意。
