根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

America’s holiday shopping season started on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

1.  Shoppers make the most money this time of year, about 20 percent to 30 percent of all revenue all year. About 136 million people shopped during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.

2.   In an era of instant information, shoppers can use their mobile phones to find deals. Nearly 80 percent of this year’s holiday shoppers, or about 183.8 million people, shopped on Cyber Monday.    3.  Online spending on Black Friday rose 15 percent to hit $2.7 billion this year. Cyber Monday spending increased 12 percent to $3 billion. NBC News reported that for many, shopping online was a more comfortable alternative than crowded malls.

The shift to online shopping has had a big impact on solid shopping malls. Since 2010, more than 24 shopping malls have closed and an additional 60 are struggling. Fortune says the weakest of the malls have closed. However, the business in malls is thriving again, it adds.  According to a survey, 94.2percent of malls were full with shops by the end of 2014.    4.

The average American consumer will spend about $805 on gifts. That’s about $630.5 billion between November and December – an increase of 3.7 percent from last year.

5.  That goes to China’s Singles’ Day, celebrated on November 11, which posted record sales of $14.3 billion in 2015.

A.More and more people shop online nowadays.

B.That is the highest level in 27 years.

C.It is the busiest shopping day of the year.

D.One-in-five Americans used a tablet or smart-phone.

E.The traditional mall industry can hardly survive.

F.Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

G.Nonetheless, Cyber Monday is not the biggest online shopping day in the world.

 

1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.G 【解析】 试题分析:本文介绍了美国的购物节,越来越多的人选择网路购物。 1.C 空后的意思是;商店在一年的这个时间挣最多的钱,大约是全年营业额的20%到30%。所以这里选C(这是一年中最繁忙的购物街节。)与上下文一致。故选C。 2.A空后的意思:在一个现代即时信息显示,购物者可以使用手机购物。所以这里选A(目前越来越多的人们选择网络购物。)与上下文一致。故选A。 3.D 空前的意思:今年将近80%的购物者,或者说大约183.8百万的人在Cyber Monday购物。空后的意思:今年在Black Friday的网络消费上升了15%达到27亿。所以这里选D(五分之一的美国人使用平板电脑或者手机。)与上下文一致。故选D。 4.】B根据上句: According to a survey, 94.2percent of malls were full with shops by the end of 2014.…根据一项调查,到2014年底94.2%的购物广场商店是满的。所以这里选B(这是27年来的最高水平。)与上下文一致。故B正确。 5.G 空后句意:那要说到中国的光棍节,11月11庆祝,2015的成交额达到143亿。因此这里G(然而,Cyber Monday并不是当今世界上最大的在线购物日。)与上下文一致。故选G。 考点:考查七选五短文。 【名师点睛】 在答题中,应首先略读一下短文,了解一下短文的大致意思,然后把几个选项含义理解透,尤其注意意思相近,表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文,把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置,反复阅读,反复体会,找出最佳选项,对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后,再认真通读一遍全文,看看上下语意是否通顺,是否符合逻辑关系。比如:这篇文章的第二段38小题,空前的意思是今年将近80%的购物者,或者说大约183.8百万的人在Cyber Monday购物。空后的意思诗今年在Black Friday的网络消费上升了15%达到27亿。所以这里选D五分之一的美国人使用平板电脑或者手机。 另外,做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句,因为它们往往就是文章的主题句。阅读中要注意要点之间的关系。比如:文章第三段小题39:B 根据上句: According to a survey, 94.2percent of malls were full with shops by the end of 2014.…根据一项调查,到2014年底94.2%的购物广场商店是满的。所以这里选B(这是27年来的最高水平。)与上下文一致。

First Lady Michelle Obama is on a five-day trip to Asia. She is visiting Japan and Cambodia to help publicize a program called "Let Girls Learn". Administration officials set up the campaign to support the education of millions of girls worldwide.

Before her trip, Mrs. Obama and her husband noted the inability of an estimated 62-million girls to attend school. They said educating the girls should be a foreign policy goal.

This week, Mrs. Obama criticized the fact that tens of millions of girls are not receiving a satisfactory education. In her opinion piece, she wrote this failure to educate girls it was more than "a tragic waste of potential." It is both a serious public health issue and a problem for the economic health of nations and the world. She also said it was "a threat to the security of countries around the world".

The First Lady noted by 2012, every part of the developing world was educating both girls and boys in primary schools. But this is not the case in secondary education. She wrote in some areas girls face "the cultural values and practices that limit the prospects of women in their societies ".

The Obama administration launched the "Let Girls Learn" campaign earlier this month. At the time, Mrs. Obama noted plans to involve the U.S. Peace Corps, and the Volunteer Development Agency.

"This effort will draw on the talent and energy of the nearly 7,000 Peace Corps volunteers serving in more than 60 countries. Through this effort, Peace Corps will be supporting hundreds of new community projects to help girls go to school and stay in school. And, I want to emphasize that these programs will be community-generated and community-led. They will be based on solutions devised by local leaders, families and yes, even the girls themselves."

President Obama also spoke at the same White House event, saying that campaign is important to his administration.

Allow me to introduce you to Terry, a window salesman from England. If I could take you back about 20 years, you’d know Terry as a complete green hand, who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted. A person couldn’t sell false teeth to his own Granny, let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry. You know, the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos.

Terry’s boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day. So off he went, but he was extremely nervous. With his hands and his knees shaking, he approached the front door and knocked at it. And an old woman appeared. After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits, the woman signed a contract and purchased over $7,000 worth of windows.

The woman had already talked with 6 excellent salesmen that week, all of whom offered her cheaper ones! That’s right—Terry’s price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was.

So, what happened then? Here comes the secret. The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others. That’s all there was to it. She didn’t care about the extra expense. Even the other salesmen couldn’t persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for.

The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesman’s talk. First impressions count, not the sales techniques, not the low prices. The actual “personality” the kid honestly gave was all that was required. If you market your own products and services, consider what impression you are giving to others. If you appeal to them, then you’ve already done half of the work. If this means redesigning your presentation, then so be it. If this means going out of your way to be polite, helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers, the so be it.

1.When Terry was offered the job of salesman, he         .

A. was good at sales techniques

B. knew little about sales skills

C. was believed in by his boss

D. was too young to do it

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 suggests that         .

A. Terry couldn’t trade with Eskimos

B. Terry loved his Granny more

C. Terry was afraid to compete

D. Terry was too honest to do the job

3.What made the young lad succeed in selling the window to the old woman?

A. First impression of good personality.

B. Being honest and childish.

C. High quality and expensive window.

D. Strange ways of sales.

4.The passage is most likely written to         .

A. general readers    B. new salesmen

C. window makers     D. new graduates

It was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods.

The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.

Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom.

“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back.Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.

We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad. She’s been one of my best friends over the years.

1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “fishy” in paragraph 2?

A. Funny         B. Interesting

C. Doubtful      D. Believable

2.What’s the second problem the author has to face

A. His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.

B. His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.

C. He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.

D. His mother failed to ask permission for him.

3.What does the author think of Elsie in the end

A. Aggressive.    B. Unkind.

C. Bad-tempered.   D. Friendly.

4.What’s the passage mainly about

A. The bull guarding Mr. Blickez’s farm.

B. The story of visiting the swimming hole.

C. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.

D. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.

书面表达请阅读下列文字和图表,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

When was the last time you had fun with your parents? Your parents are all busy during working days; during the weekends, you may want to hang out with them but they may have to work extra hours.

This is not uncommon. In China, both of the parents have their jobs. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. A recent survey done in the US found that more than half of American parents spend less than three hours having fun with their children each week.

As the Daily Mail noted: Families are spending little quality time creating bonds and precious memories together during the week because of the demands of modern life.
