解析

本题主要考查词汇在语境中的运用，解题时需要结合上下文的语义、语法结构以及固定搭配来确定每个空应填的词汇。

  1. 第11题：
    • 解题思路：“making”是动词，后面需要接宾语。根据前文提到“Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their shopping”，这里说的是进行购物的人，“make purchases”是固定表达，意为“购物；购买”，所以应填“purchases”。
  2. 第12题：
    • 解题思路：前文提到女性在网络购物方面首次超过男性，且现在有50%的网络购物者是女性，结合“Some experts say it is only a matter of time”，可以推断出这里是说女性购物者超过男性只是时间问题。“overtake”有“超过；超越”的意思，符合语境，所以应填“overtake”。
  3. 第13题：
    • 解题思路：根据语境，这里需要一个副词来修饰动词“make”，说明女性做消费决策的情况。“typically”意为“通常；一般”，表示女性通常会做消费决策，符合语义，所以应填“typically”。
  4. 第14题：
    • 解题思路：“be responsible for”是固定短语，意为“对……负责；是……的原因”。这里说18到29岁的互联网用户是这次网络礼品购买人群大幅增长的部分原因，所以应填“responsible”。
  5. 第15题：
    • 解题思路：根据“or just compare online prices with off - line prices, then dash off to the shops to get the best deals”可知，一些互联网用户不在线上购买节日礼物，他们担心的应该是与网络购物相关的问题。“credit”是“信用”，与之并列且与网络购物相关的常见问题是“安全”，“security”有“安全”的意思，所以应填“security”。
