B.BigshoppingdayinChinaC.ThanksgivingDayinUS D.BigshoppingdayinUS【答案】BCABD【解析】本文章主要讲了美国的最大的购物日，“黑色星期五”的时间、由来等。4.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“BlackFridayistheFridayafterThanksgivingDay.Itisonnovember23thisyear.黑色星期五是感恩节后的星期五。今年是11月23日。”可知，今年的黑色星期五是11月23日。故选B。5.段落大意题。根据文章第三段“It’scalledBlackFridaybecauseshopsusedtorecord(记录)saleswithblackink(墨水).Sowhentherewasalotofblackinkonapage,theshopsoldalot.之所以被称为黑色星期五，是因为商店过去用黑墨水记录销售额，所以当页面上有很多黑墨水时，商店就卖了很多。”可知，第三段主要讲述了黑色星期五的由来。故选C。6.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“ItisoneofthebiggestshoppingdaysintheUS.这是美国最大的购物日之一”；及第四段“OnblackFriday,peoplegoshoppingatactualstores(实体店).在黑色星期五，人们去实体商店购物。”可知，那天人们并非是在网络上购物，因此不是最大的网购日。故选A。7.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“DoyouknowSinglesDay(November11)inChina?Manypeople,evenyourparents,gotobedlatethatnight.Theygoshoppingonlinetogetbigsavings(省钱).你知道中国的光棍节(11月11日)吗?很多人，甚至你的父母，都会在那晚很晚才上床睡觉，他们会去网上购物来节约钱”；及第二段“PeoplewanttostartshoppingforChristmasgifts,sotheygoshoppingonthisdaytosavemoney.人们想开始买圣诞礼物，所以他们在这一天去购物来省钱。”可知，人们可以在光棍节和黑色星期五购物，来节省一部分钱。从而判断“人们在这两天买东西，可以节省很多钱。”正确。故选B。8.最佳标题题。根据文章第一段“DoyouknowSinglesDay(November11)inChina?Manypeople,evenyourparents,gotobedlatethatnight.Theywereshoppingonlinetogetbigsavings(省钱).Well,theUShassomethinglikeitcalledBlackFriday.你知道中国的光棍节(11月11日)吗？很多人，甚至你的父母，都会在那晚很晚才上床睡觉，他们会去网上购物以节约钱，美国有一种类似的东西叫做黑色星期五。”及下文内容可知，文章主要向读者介绍了美国最大的购物日，“黑色星期五”。故选D。2InChina,DoubleElevenShoppingDaycomeseveryyear.AndthereisasimilardayintheUnitedStates-BlackFriday.Ithasbeenconsideredasthebeginningoftheholidayshoppingseason.Althoughit'snotanofficialholiday,millionsofworkershavethedayoff,andmanypeoplebuythingsonthatday.AsimilardayinCanadaandGreatBritainiscalled"BoxingDay".BlackFridayhasbecomesomewhatofamarketingsensation(感觉)inrecentyears.Since2005,ithasbeenthebusiestshoppingdayoftheyear.Tolureshoppers,retailers(零售商)usuallyopentheirdoorsasearlyas4a.m.andofferspecialsalesandpromotionstotheshoppersthatarriveearly.ButwhyisitcalledBlackFriday?Historians(历史学家)believethenamestartedinPhiladelphiainthemid-1960s.Busdriversandpoliceused"BlackFriday"todescribetheheavytrafficthatwouldblockcitystreetsbecauseoftoomanyshopperstherethedayafterThanksgiving.Businesses,however,didn'tlikethebadinfluenceaboutthe"BlackFriday"name.Intheearly1980s,amorepositiveexplanation(建设性的解释)ofthenamebegantospread.Accordingtothisexplanation,BlackFridayisthedaywhenretailersfinallybegintoturnaprofit(获利)fortheyear.Inaccountingterms(会计行业),operatingataloss(亏本经营)iscalledbeing"inthered"becauseaccountantstraditionallyusedredinktoshownegativeamounts(亏本账目).Positiveamounts(盈利账目)wereusuallyshowninblackink.Thus,being"intheblack"isagoodthingbecauseitmeansstoresareoperatingataprofit(盈利经营).Recently,forthosewhoaretoobusytoshoponBlackFridayorwhojustdon'twanttofightthecrowds(人群；拥挤),theMondayfollowingBlackFridayhasbecomeknownasCyberMonday(网络星期一)forthemanyonlinedeals(交易).9.OnBlackFriday,theAmericans_________.A.areusuallybusydoingshopping

D.explainthemeaningofBoxingDay【答案】ADAC【解析】本文讲述了双十一购物节是中国最大的购物节日，在美国也有一个类似的节日——黑色星期五，短文介绍了黑色星期五的由来。9.细节理解题。根据“BlackFridayhasbecomesomewhatofamarketingsensation(感觉)inrecentyears.Since2005,ithasbeenthebusiestshoppingdayoftheyear.”可知自2005年以来，它一直是一年中最繁忙的购物日，可推测出美国人在这一天，忙着购物，故选A。10.细节理解题。根据“Intheearly1980s,amorepositiveexplanation(建设性的解释)ofthenamebegantospread.Accordingtothisexplanation,BlackFridayisthedaywhenretailersfinallybegintoturnaprofit(获利)fortheyear.”可知在20世纪80年代早期，对这个名字的积极解释开始传播开来。根据这种解释，黑色星期五是零售商最终开始盈利的日子，故选D。11.推理判断题。根据“Inaccountingterms,operatingatalossiscalledbeing"inthered"becauseaccountantstraditionallyusedredinktoshownegativeamounts”可知在会计术语中，亏损经营被称为“亏损”，因为会计人员传统上用红墨水来表示负数，与选项A内容不符；根据“inthemid-1960s.Busdriversandpoliceused"BlackFriday"todescribetheheavytraffic”可知人们用“黑色星期五”来形容20世纪60年代中期的交通拥挤，与选项B内容相符；根据“theMondayfollowingBlackFridayhasbecomeknownasCyberMondayforthemanyonlinedeals.”可知“黑色星期五”后的星期一被称为“网购星期一”，因为有很多网上交易，与选项C内容相符；根据“Tolureshoppers,retailersusuallyopentheirdoorsasearlyas4a.m.andofferspecialsalesandpromotionstotheshoppersthatarriveearly.”可知为了吸引顾客，零售商通常早在凌晨4点就开门营业，为早到的顾客提供特价和促销活动，与选项D内容相符；故选A。12.主旨大意题。根据本文讲述了双十一购物节是中国最大的购物节日，在美国也有一个类似的节日——黑色星期五，短文介绍了黑色星期五的由来。故选C。3DoyouknowBlackFriday?ItisthedayfollowingThanksgivingDay(thefourthThursdayofNovember)intheUnitedStates.PeoplethinkitmeansthebeginningoftheChristmasshoppingseasonintheUS,andmoststoresandshoppingmallsopenveryearly.Thingswillbeongreatsaleforpeopletobuy.BlackFridayisnotaholiday,butCaliforniaandsomeotherstates(州)intheUSAthinkitasaholidayjustforsomepeoplewhodon'tworkinshopslikeofficers,teachersandstudents.TheycanhaveholidaysbothonThanksgivingandonthefollowingFriday.Inthisway,theymakeitafour-dayweekend,somorepeoplecangoshoppingduringthesedays.Itisthebusiest(最繁忙的)shoppingdayofthewholeyearinAmerica.LiketheDoubleEleventhDayinChina.BlackFridayfirstappearedinPhiladelphia.Peopleusedthewordtodescribetheheavytrafficjam(堵塞)andthemostcrowdedstreetsonthedayafterThanksgiving,becausepeopleallwentintotheshoppingmallsandshopstobuythingstheywanted.Itbroughtalotoftroubletothedriversandpolicemen.Andalsoonthisday,thebusinesscouldmoveinto"black",andthismeantthatithelpedtheshopownersmakealotofmoney.Thatwaswhypeoplecalledit"BlackFriday".Morethantwentyyearslater,thephrasebecamemoreandmorepopular.13.BlackFridayis________.A.onthefourthThursdayofNovember
