　　For a man， slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants.

　　「答案解析」 本題考查搭配、文章理解方面的能力，屬于綜合性考查項目。本部分的得分高低與你平時的針對性訓練并無多大關系，重點在于你的知識積累和你的詞匯、語法以及基本的翻譯能力。從考查內容上看，主要考查介詞、形容詞、副詞、動詞搭配以及連詞，對名詞和動詞考查較少。應對的策略主要是記住考試大綱中出現的搭配。像第51題的in advance，第53題的to someones satisfaction， 第54題的in that case， 第60題的base on， 第61題的try on都是反復出現的短語。另外，必要的詞匯量是必須的。
