问题   A trade group for liquor retailers put out a press release with an
alarming headline: "Millions of Kids Buy Internet Alcohol, Landmark
Survey Reveals. "
  The announcement, from the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of
America, received widely media attention. On NBC’s Today Show, Lea.【S1】________
Thompson said, " According to a new online survey, one in ten
teenagers have an underage friend who has ordered beer, wine or liquor【S2】________
over the Internet. More than a third think they can easily do it but nearly【S3】________
half think they won’t get caught. " Several newspapers mentioned the
study, including USA Today and the Record of New Jersey. The news
even made Australia’s Gold Coast Bulletin.
  Are millions of kids really buying booze online? To arrive that【S4】________
shocking headline, the group used some question logic to pump up【S5】________
the results from a survey that was already tilted in favor of finding a【S6】________
large number of online buyers.
  For starters, consider the source. The trade group that commissioned
the survey has long fought efforts to expand online sales of alcohol; its
members are local distributors which compete with online liquor sellers.【S7】________
Some of the news coverage point out that conflict of interest,  though【S8】________
reports didn’t delve more deeply on how the numbers were computed.【S9】________
  The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America hired Teenage
Research Unlimited, a research company, to design the study. Teenage
Research, in return, hired San Diego polling firm Luth Research to put【S10】________
the questions to 1,001 people between the ages of 14 and 20 in an online
survey. Luth gets people to participate in its surveys in part by
advertising them online and offering small cash awards—typically less
than  $ 5 for short surveys.
【S8】
选项
答案point—pointed
解析 时态错误。本句意为“一些新闻报道指出了其利益冲突……。”从上下文可知新闻报道是过去发生的事，且后半句用的也是一般过去时，所以此处point应改为pointed。
