问题   One of the strangest things about dispute over advertising
is that the greater the fuss the much of a mystery the industry
itself seems to become. Advertising is a passionate area.
It seems to affect those who attack it and those who defend
it in remarkable similar ways. Before long both are exhibiting   【M1】______
the same compulsive urge to overstate their case to
that it is difficult to believe that the critics and the defenders   【M2】______
of advertising are even arguing for the same thing. But just
as it seemed sensible for us to regard advertising without go 【M3】______
to either extreme, so it also seemed logical to try and find as
cold-bloodedly as if we could, what advertising in the Britain   【M4】______
of the sixties really was.
We knew that they consumed around $ 950 million a 【M5】______
year, or roughly 2 percent of the national income. We knew
that it employed something over 200,000 individuals, the
majority of which were paid salaries considerably above the  【M6】______
national average. And we knew that it was supposedly run in
accordance certain rather vague and often complex rules and  【M7】______
professional orders.
Therefore once we tried finding out exactly what all this 【M8】______
money went on, what these highly paid individuals did for it
(and with it) ,and how the rules and orders influenced them,
a curious thing happened. This strange animal called advertising,
so disliked by its supporters and so beloved by its defenders,   【M9】______
began to disappear. In its place were advertising
men and advertising agencies—all working in different ways
and to different rules and all showed quite startling differences 【M10】______
of competence, taste and effectiveness.
【M4】

选项

答案as if改成去掉if

解析 这里使用了as+adj.+as这一结构,we could后省略了前面提到的动词try和find,表示“尽可能冷静地处理”之意。as if意为“好像,似乎”,用在此处不合适。
