参考谜底及解析：
1. A) 此空和shoplifting, long lines为并列结构，组成介词of的宾语，是以选项B和C可以解除;而选项D problems与of结构所润色的problems有冲突，故只有选项A为正确谜底。
2. B) 此空涉及固定搭配。come up with意为“提出，跟上”。come along with意为“伴同”，意义不符。
3. A) 经由过水平析此空位址句可知，此刻帮衬一家OK超市的顾客推着一辆拴有一个塑料卡片的手推车从货架上购物，是以空白处需要一个介词指导一个复杂宾语结构来润色名词a cart，四个选项中只有with有此功能。
4. A) 按照短文，这类超市发放的带有磁码的塑料卡片由每位顾客在购物时携带，出超市时在出口处被收集回来，是以此空应选A collected “收集，收受接管”，其它各选项意义不符。
5. D) 按照句义(顾客不管想买哪种商品他都需要把卡片插到这种商品旁边的插口里，然后按一下按钮。)和结构(此空需要一个联交㈨?作介词beside的宾语)可知选项D为正确谜底。
6. C) 电脑知道所有商品的价钱，故C为正确谜底。
7. B) 此题涉及动词意义搭配问题，feed意为“送入，插入”。
8. C) 经由剖析可揣度句义为“一旦你碰了一件商品，不管你把塑料片藏到哪儿，即即是吃到肚子里，电脑也会记实下来。”，从而断定谜底为C。
9. B) 此句带有斗劲状语从句，故空白处词应与句子主语相对应。friend和neighbour不合逻辑，只有colleague为正确谜底。
10. A) 此句是一例子，故谜底为A。
11. B) “be about to”意为“即将发生…”。
12. A) 按照句义应为A warns。
13. A) “change one's mind at” 为固定搭配。
14. D) 按照上文可知如不美观你碰了某种商品，电脑就会记实下来，从而猜测此句句义为“一旦你碰了某个商品，就不能放回去了。”是以本题正确谜底为D。
15. C) 按照上下文可断定为C。
