本题考查的知识点是：上下文的衔接
本题空格上文是文章的前三段。前两段介绍了主人公格雷汉姆是制作风向标的手工艺者，他为顾客特制不同于传统设计的风向标。第三段提到，格雷汉姆做的第一个风向标引起了朋友的兴趣，也让他自己意识到了商机的存在。空格下文即第五段第一句提到，“那是五年前的事了”。与上文衔接，空格处应继续围绕格雷汉姆从事风向标的制作展开论述。与下文衔接，空格处应论述五年前的情况。因此［B］正确。其中第一句话“格雷汉姆决定把精力投入到风向标生意上”与上文论述的“发现商机”衔接紧密，后面部分出现的“15 years”与下文“five years ago”相呼应。

［B］Graham decided to concentrate his efforts on a weathervane business.

本题考查的知识点是：上下文的衔接+词语的复现
空格下文即全文最后一段论述了格雷汉姆销售风向标的情况，其中“buyers”为关键词。［A］和［F］分别出现了同义词“clients”和“customer”。但［F］主要谈论的是设计方面的问题，［A］才是有关销售的内容，而且“worldwide”一词与下文“American and Danish”呼应。因此［A］正确。
