参考解析
解析：对商品的挑选范围是广泛的（wide)，故本题选B。
商品种类太多，对挑选商品的顾客来说，并不是一件好事，a favour意为“一件好事”。
考查固定搭配。think of意为“考虑”。consider用于此处不需加of，排除；plan后跟 for或to do;hope后跟（to) do。故本题选D。
本句句意：实际上有大约1600种不同款车待售。
允许我们选择最适合我们需要的产品，“允许”用allow。
但是，选择也可能表现（represent)出一些问题。
固定搭配。get hold of意为“掌握，抓住”。
广告是说服顾客买其商品的，因此用persuaded。
前面介绍知道怎么挑选商品的人，后面举出一个因挑选手机而感到困惑，转而放弃手机买花的例子，显然此处是转折句，用however。
the amount of choice意为“大量的选择”。
焦虑和压力的来源(source)。
固定搭配。set out意为“出发，动身”，这里是指出去给女朋友挑选生日礼物。
因为有太多款手机供挑选，因此他感到很困惑（confused)。
固定搭配。give up意为“放弃”。
该处是说他放弃买手机，改用一束鲜花来代替礼物送给他女朋友。故本题选B。
