练习 1
Ivana Bümbüm will be the spokesmodel for Delavigne perfumes .
Ivana Bümbüm will be the spokesmodel for Delavigne perfumes for an indeterminate period of time.
for an indeterminate period of time: This is the correct choice. Susie says that Ivana will endorse Delavigne perfumes for the "foreseeable future". This indicates that Ivana will promote Delavigne products for an undetermined period of time, or "provided that nothing changes".
only until the end of the TigerLily advertising campaign: This is untrue. Delavigne and Miss Bümbüm have reached an agreement which extends beyond the TigerLily campaign. Ivana will endorse Delavigne products for the "foreseeable future".
because it was written in the stars: Although "to foresee" can convey the sense of "prediction" or "prophecy", this is not what Susie is saying in her speech.
as soon as she signs a contract, sometime in the near future : This is untrue. Susie says that Delavigne has already "reached an agreement" with Ivana's agent, which indicates that this deal has been finalized. Also, the "foreseeable future" is not synonymous with the "near future".

This is not a good choice here. Among many other meanings, to "face" means to "confront" or to "look in the direction of", and cannot be used to replace the term "to envisage". Example: "We have to face the facts; she's left home and is never coming back."
This is a correct choice here. The verb "to envisage" means to consider, to visualize, to suggest or expect a future result and is synonymous with "to foresee". "To foresee" is to predict a future possibility. Example: "If we have any more children, I can foresee the day when we'll have to buy a bigger house."
This is correct. The verb "to envisage" means to consider, to visualize, to suggest or imagine a future result and is synonymous with the term "to picture". Example: "I picture a future when everybody will live together in peace and harmony."
This is a correct choice. The verb "to envisage" is to suggest or expect a future result and shares a similar meaning with "to predict". "To predict" is to announce a result before it becomes a reality. Example: "When I started this job, I did not predict that I'd have to work every weekend."
This is not correct. "To deal with (a problem)" is to attend to it or address it. Example: "In my job, I have to deal with many different tasks, often at the same time." This does not share a similar meaning with "to envisage".
