网考网参考答案:A
网考网解析:

[解析] 句中的(be) deprived of... 意为“被剥夺了……”,在此句的意思相当于(be) short of..., 即“缺乏(信息)而且未被给以(必要的忠告的消费者们)”。据此推知,后面句子的大意是“很容易在市场上受骗上当”,因此选用at the mercy of,意思是“任……摆布,在……前毫无办法”。如:The champion had the other boxer at his mercy. 这位冠军拳击手征服了他的对手。in lieu of意为“替代”;by courtesy of意为“在……的允许下”;for the price of不是固定用法,但可以说sell two things for the price of one两件商品只收一件的钱。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
