Now, we have to go back to the newsroom for a look at what’s happening in sports. Have a splendid weekend!

The day following Thanksgiving — commonly referred to as Black Friday — has become one of the busiest shopping days of the year in the United States.
It is believed by many that the term Black Friday comes from the concept that businesses operate at a financial loss, or are “in the red,” until the day after Thanksgiving, when massive sales finally allow them to turn a profit, or put them “in the black.” However, this is untrue.
A more accurate explanation of the term dates back to the early 1960s, when police officers in Philadelphia began using the phrase “Black Friday” to describe the mess that resulted when large numbers of suburban tourists came into the city to begin their holiday shopping and, in some years, attend Saturday’s annual Army-Navy football game. The huge crowds created a headache for the police, who worked longer than usual as they dealt with traffic jams, accidents, shoplifting, and other issues.
Within a few years, the term Black Friday had taken root in Philadelphia. City businessmen attempted to put a prettier face on the day by calling it “Big Friday.”
In more recent years, Black Friday has been followed by other shopping holidays, including Small Business Saturday, which encourages shoppers to visit local retailers, and Cyber Monday, which promotes shopping online. Giving Tuesday has also appeared to encourage charitable donations.
Historically, Black Friday has yet another meaning, one unrelated to shopping. In 1869 Wall Street financiers Jay Gould and Jim Fisk attempted to corner (垄断) the nation’s gold market at the New York Gold Exchange. On Friday, September 24, the government’s control caused their plan to fall apart, making thousands of Americans lose all their money.
24. What is the origin of the term Black Friday
A. Stores offered limited cheaper specials on all kinds of goods.
B. Businesses made money, which was “in the black.”
C. Suburban tourists made the policemen’s work harder.
D. Friday became the biggest shopping day in America.
25. Why is Black Friday also called Big Friday
A. On this day businessmen make big money. B. Customers buy a lot of goods this day.
C. City businessmen want to have prettier faces. D. Businessmen want to make the day sound lovely.
26. What is the purpose of celebrating Giving Tuesday
A. To call on people to make some donations for charity.
B. To encourage shoppers to visit local retailers.
C. To boost the development of online shopping.
D. To improve the profits and make the economy better.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. When Is Black Friday Celebrated B. How Did Black Friday Get Its Name
C. Where Was Black Friday Celebrated D. What Are the Types of Shopping Holidays
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“黑色星期五”这一词的来源以及其他含义。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A more accurate explanation of the term dates back to the early 1960s, when police officers in Philadelphia began using the phrase “Black Friday” to describe the mess that resulted when large numbers of suburban tourists came into the city to begin their holiday shopping and, in some years, attend Saturday’s annual Army-Navy football game.(对这个词更准确的解释可以追溯到20世纪60年代初，当时费城的警察开始用“黑色星期五”这个词来形容大量郊区游客进入城市开始假日购物，有时还会参加周六一年一度的陆军-海军橄榄球比赛，造成的混乱)”可知，黑色星期五这个词的起源是郊区的游客使警察的工作更加困难。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“City businessmen attempted to put a prettier face on the day by calling it “Big Friday.(城市的商人们试图通过称之为“大星期五”来美化这一天)”可知，黑色星期五也被称为大星期五是因为商人想让这一天听起来很可爱。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Giving Tuesday has also appeared to encourage charitable donations.(“周二捐赠”似乎也鼓励了慈善捐款)”可知，庆祝“给予星期二”的目的是号召人们为慈善事业捐款。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It is believed by many that the term Black Friday comes from the concept that businesses operate at a financial loss, or are “in the red,” until the day after Thanksgiving, when massive sales finally allow them to turn a profit, or put them “in the black.” However, this is untrue.(许多人认为，“黑色星期五”一词来自这样一个概念，即企业在财务亏损或“亏损”的情况下经营，直到感恩节后的第二天，大规模的销售最终使他们扭亏为盈，或使他们“盈利”。然而，这不是真的)”结合文章主要说明了“黑色星期五”这一词的来源以及其他含义。可知，B选项“黑色星期五的名字是怎么来的？”最符合文章标题。故选B。
C
On the outskirts of a tiny little town was a neglected (被忽视的) garden. In the garden stood an old house, and in that house lived Pippi Longstocking. She was nine years old, and she lived there all alone. She had no mother or father, which was actually quite nice, because it meant that no one could tell her that she had to go to bed just when she was having most fun. And no one could make her take cod liver oil when she would rather eat sweets.
Once upon a time Pippi did have a father whom she loved very much. And of course she once had a mother too, but that was so long ago that she couldn’t remember her at all. Her mother died when Pippi was a tiny little baby, lying in her cot and crying so terribly that no one could stand to come near. Pippi thought that her mother was now up in heaven, peering down at her daughter through a hole. Pippi would often wave to her and say, “Don’t worry! I can always look after myself!” But Pippi had not forgotten her father. He was a sea captain who sailed the great seas, and Pippi had sailed with him on his ship until one day a big storm blew him overboard and he disappeared. But Pippi was sure that one day he would come back. She didn’t believe that he had drowned (淹死). She believed that he had washed ashore on an island that was inhabited by natives and that her father had become king of them all. He walked around wearing a gold crown on his head all day long.
“My mamma is an angel, and my pappa is king of the natives. Not all children have such fine parents, let me tell you,” Pippi used to say with delight. “And as soon as my pappa builds himself a ship, he’ll come back to get me, and then I’ll be a native princess. Yippee, what fun that will be!” Many years ago her father had bought the old house that stood in the garden. He had planned to live there with Pippi when he grew old and was no longer able to sail the seas. Then, unfortunately, he was blown overboard. While Pippi was waiting for him to come back, she headed straight home to Villa Villekulla. That was what the house was called. It stood there, all furnished and ready — just waiting for her to arrive.
28. Where was Villa Villekulla
A. It was in a garden. B. It was on the sea.
C. It was on an island. D. It was in the heaven.
29. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. Pippi missed her parents very much.
B. Pippi’s parents died when Pippi was a baby.
C. Pippi was with her father when he fell into the sea.
D. Pippi’s father became king of the natives on an island.
30. Which of the following was most possible to happen
A. Pippi would become a princess.
B. Pippi’s father would come back to get her.
C. Pippi would live happily with her father.
D. Pippi would grow up without her parents.
31. Which of the following words can best describe Pippi
A. Naughty but clever. B. Rich but mean.
C. Imaginative but proud. D. Unlucky but optimistic.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章节选自小说《长袜子皮皮》。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Many years ago her father had bought the old house that stood in the garden. He had planned to live there with Pippi when he grew old and was no longer able to sail the seas. Then, unfortunately, he was blown overboard. While Pippi was waiting for him to come back, she headed straight home to Villa Villekulla. That was what the house was called. It stood there, all furnished and ready — just waiting for her to arrive.(许多年前，她父亲买下了花园中的那座老房子。他原计划等他老了，不能再航海时，就和皮皮一起住在那里。然后，不幸的是，他被吹到船外。皮皮在等他回来的时候，径直回到了维勒库拉别墅的家。这就是那所房子的名字。房子就在那儿，陈设齐全，等着她来)”可知，Villa Villekulla是皮皮住的房屋的名字，而这个房子在一个花园里。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Pippi had sailed with him on his ship until one day a big storm blew him overboard and he disappeared(皮皮一直和他一起在船上航行，直到有一天一场大风暴把他吹到船外，他消失了)”可知，从第二段我们可以推测，皮皮在爸爸掉进海里的时候和他在一起。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“She had no mother or father(她没有爸爸和妈妈)”和文章第二段“Her mother died when Pippi was a tiny little baby(当皮皮还是个小婴儿的时候，她的母亲就去世了)”和“He was a sea captain who sailed the great seas, and Pippi had sailed with him on his ship until one day a big storm blew him overboard and he disappeared. But Pippi was sure that one day he would come back. She didn’t believe that he had drowned (淹死).(他是一个在大海上航行的船长，皮皮和他一起在他的船上航行，直到有一天一场大风暴把他吹出了船，他消失了。但是皮皮确信有一天他会回来的。她不相信他已经淹死了)”可推知，皮皮将在没有父母的情况下长大。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“She had no mother or father(她没有爸爸和妈妈)”可知，她没有爸爸妈妈，因此他是不幸的；根据文章第三段““My mamma is an angel, and my pappa is king of the natives. Not all children have such fine parents, let me tell you,” Pippi used to say with delight.(“我妈妈是天使，我爸爸是土著人的国王。我告诉你，不是所有的孩子都有这么好的父母。”皮皮常常高兴地说)”可知，她一直往好的方面想爸爸妈妈的去处。由此推知，她是乐观的。故选D。
D
Going vegan or vegetarian is one way to decrease your diet’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions (排放) — but it isn’t the only way. A recent Purdue University study suggests that smaller changes can make a difference too, while improving your health.
After analyzing the 2010 grocery purchases of more than 57,000 U.S. families, Purdue researchers found 71 percent could reduce their food carbon footprint by making some changes. One is to skip the unhealthy snacks. Avoiding foods with high calorie is important and low nutritional value can reduce the total carbon footprint of U.S. family food consumption by nearly 10 percent. Items like candy, soda, and packaged snacks take more ingredients and more processing, which translates to higher environmental impacts.
Another effective way to reduce your carbon emissions is to avoid bulk buys. Households of one or two people may end up with food waste when they try to save money with bulk buys. Before you buy supersize, consider whether a three-pound jar of peanut butter will go bad before it’s used up.
The researchers of the study also suggest consuming fewer ready-made foods. One average microwave meal may not have a very large carbon footprint. But buying them regularly can add up to high emissions because ready-made foods are sold in large quantities, which makes their carbon footprint significant, the study found.
By making the above changes, the U.S. could cut more than a quarter of emissions from household food consumption, the researchers say. That’s about 36 million metric tons — about what 6.6 million households generate in a year of electricity use. “Collective action can make a huge impact,” says study co-author Hua Cai.
32. Why does the author mention being a vegetarian in Paragraph 1
A. To encourage us to become vegetarians.
B. To introduce the findings of a recent study.
C. To illustrate the impact of greenhouse gas emission.
D. To tell readers it’s not a good way to help the environment.
33. How many methods are suggested by the study to reduce our food carbon footprint
A. Two. B. Three.
C. Four. D. Five.
34. What do the underlined words “bulk buys” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Buying things in quantity.
B. Buying things of low quality.
C. Buying things out of date.
D. Buying things of low price.
35. What might Hua Cai mean by saying “Collective action can make a huge impact”
A. We should collect some materials to make a difference.
B. We should take measures quickly to make a difference.
C. We should make efforts together to make a difference.
D. We should avoid all unhealthy food to make a difference.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过改变一些小习惯来减少碳的排放量。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Going vegan or vegetarian is one way to decrease your diet’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions (排放) — but it isn’t the only way. A recent Purdue University study suggests that smaller changes can make a difference too, while improving your health.(吃素或素食是减少饮食对温室气体排放影响的一种方法，但这不是唯一的方法。普渡大学(Purdue University)最近的一项研究表明，小的改变也可以产生影响，同时改善你的健康。)”可知，作者提出素食主义是为了引出话题，介绍通过一些小改变就可以减少碳的排放量，即该研究的新发现。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One is to skip the unhealthy snacks.(一是不吃不健康的零食。)”、文章第三段“Another effective way to reduce your carbon emissions is to avoid bulk buys.(另一个减少碳排放的有效方法是避免批量购买。)”和文章第四段“The researchers of the study also suggest consuming fewer ready-made foods.(这项研究的研究人员还建议少吃现成的食物。)”可知，该研究提出了3种方法来减少我们的食物碳足迹。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Before you buy supersize, consider whether a three-pound jar of peanut butter will go bad before it’s used up.(在你购买超大号的花生酱之前，考虑一下一罐3磅重的花生酱在用完之前是否会变质。)”可知，只有一两个人的家庭为了节省大量购买的钱，最终可能会造成食物浪费。由此可知，bulk buys意为“大批购买”。故选A。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“By making the above changes, the U.S. could cut more than a quarter of emissions from household food consumption, the researchers say. That’s about 36 million metric tons — about what 6.6 million households generate in a year of electricity use. “Collective action can make a huge impact,” says study co-author Hua Cai. ( 研究人员说，通过上述改变，美国可以减少家庭食品消费排放的四分之一以上。这大约是3600万吨——大约是660万户家庭一年的用电量。“集体行动可以产生巨大的影响，”该研究的合著者华彩说。)”可知，“Collective action can make a huge impact”的意思是呼吁我们应该共同努力，做出改变。故选C。

第四部分 任务型阅读（共两节，满分20分）
Two years ago, Laura Eshelman was struggling with a mental problem. And to top it off, she was having trouble finding work.
One day, she was leaving a downtown business where she had yet another job application rejected (拒绝). Feeling extremely disappointed, she decided to go to the Whole Foods across the street and found something for her hungry stomach.
As she crossed the street, Eshelman noticed a man, who was asking for money on the corner. His messy hair and clothing made it seem like he’d been living outside for a while. She watched as he asked a passerby for change, but she even didn’t look at him.
As Eshelman approached, the man turned his attention to her, and again he asked if he could have a little bit of money. “Leave me alone. I don’t have anything to give you. Just go away!”, Eshelman shouted, almost giving vent to (发泄) all her negative feelings. But these unkind words were just what made her feel regretful and ashamed later.
The man was obviously embarrassed as well as a little surprised. It was normal for him to be refused, but not usually in such a rude way. He just lowered his head and Eshelman continued into the grocery store. After picking up some bread and a bottle of water, she went to the checkout to pay. And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing.

④考查动词的时态和语态。由文章第三段中“She watched as he asked a passerby for change, but she even didn’t look at him. (她看着他向一个过路人要零钱，但她甚至没有看他。)”可知，那人被路人忽视了，故本空选用ignore“忽视”。结合空前的looked可知，事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，且主语The man与ignore为被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was ignored。
⑤考查动词时态。由文章第四段中“As Eshelman approached, the man turned his attention to her, and again he asked if he could have a little bit of money. “Leave me alone. I don’t have anything to give you.

(当Eshelman走近时，那人把注意力转向了她，并再次问能否给他一点钱。“别烦我。我没有什么可以给你的。走开!谢尔曼喊道，几乎把她所有的负面情绪都发泄出来了。)”可知，埃塞尔曼用一些不礼貌的话拒绝了他，故本空用polite“礼貌”的反义词impolite“不礼貌的”，作定语，修饰words。故填impolite。
⑦考查非谓语动词。由文章第四段中“But these unkind words were just what made her feel regretful and ashamed later. (但正是这些不友善的话让她后来感到遗憾和羞愧。)”可知，后来她后悔以如此粗鲁的方式对待这名男子，故本空选用treat“对待”。regret doing sth.“后悔做了某事”，故本空用动名词，作regretted的宾语。故填treating。
⑧考查名词。由文章最后一段中“The man was obviously embarrassed as well as a little surprised. It was normal for him to be refused, but not usually in such a rude way.

(就在那一刻，她发现她的钱包不见了，她在那里放了所有的钱和重要文件。)”可知，埃塞尔曼发现她的钱包丢了，故本空选用lose“丢失”，且found后的宾语从句中her purse与lose为被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态was lost，作从句谓语。也可以用形容词lost“丢失的”作宾语her purse的补足语。故填lost/was lost。
⑩考查动词时态。由文章最后一段中“And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing. (就在那一刻，她发现她的钱包不见了，她在那里放了所有的钱和重要文件。)”可知，钱包对埃舍曼来说很重要，因为里面装着她的钱和文件。故本空选用contain“容纳”。结合空前的was可知，事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，故用contain的过去式。故填contained。

Eshelman might say thanks and sorry to the man.

The day following Thanksgiving — commonly referred to as Black Friday — has become one of the busiest shopping days of the year in the United States.
It is believed by many that the term Black Friday comes from the concept that businesses operate at a financial loss, or are “in the red,” until the day after Thanksgiving, when massive sales finally allow them to turn a profit, or put them “in the black.” However, this is untrue.
A more accurate explanation of the term dates back to the early 1960s, when police officers in Philadelphia began using the phrase “Black Friday” to describe the mess that resulted when large numbers of suburban tourists came into the city to begin their holiday shopping and, in some years, attend Saturday’s annual Army-Navy football game. The huge crowds created a headache for the police, who worked longer than usual as they dealt with traffic jams, accidents, shoplifting, and other issues.
Within a few years the term Black Friday had taken root in Philadelphia. City businessmen attempted to put a prettier face on the day by calling it “Big Friday.”
In more recent years, Black Friday has been followed by other shopping holidays, including Small Business Saturday, which encourages shoppers to visit local retailers, and Cyber Monday, which promotes shopping online. Giving Tuesday has also appeared to encourage charitable donations.
Historically, Black Friday has yet another meaning, one unrelated to shopping. In 1869 Wall Street financiers Jay Gould and Jim Fisk attempted to corner (垄断) the nation’s gold market at the New York Gold Exchange. On Friday, September 24, the government’s control caused their plan to fall apart, making thousands of Americans lose all their money.
24. What is the origin of the term Black Friday
A Stores offered limited cheaper specials on all kinds of goods.
B. Businesses made money, which was “in the black.”
C. Suburban tourists made the policemen’s work harder.
D. Friday became the biggest shopping day in America.
25. Why is Black Friday also called Big Friday
A. On this day businessmen make big money. B. Customers buy a lot of goods this day.
C. City businessmen want to have prettier faces. D. Businessmen want to make the day sound lovely.
26. What is the purpose of celebrating Giving Tuesday
A. To call on people to make some donations for charity.
B. To encourage shoppers to visit local retailers.
C. To boost the development of online shopping.
D. To improve the profits and make the economy better.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. When Is Black Friday Celebrated B. How Did Black Friday Get Its Name
C. Where Was Black Friday Celebrated D. What Are the Types of Shopping Holidays
C
On the outskirts of a tiny little town was a neglected (被忽视的) garden. In the garden stood an old house, and in that house lived Pippi Longstocking. She was nine years old, and she lived there all alone. She had no mother or father, which was actually quite nice, because it meant that no one could tell her that she had to go to bed just when she was having most fun. And no one could make her take cod liver oil when she would rather eat sweets.
Once upon a time Pippi did have a father whom she loved very much. And of course she once had a mother too, but that was so long ago that she couldn’t remember her at all. Her mother died when Pippi was a tiny little baby, lying in her cot and crying so terribly that no one could stand to come near. Pippi thought that her mother was now up in heaven, peering down at her daughter through a hole. Pippi would often wave to her and say, “Don’t worry! I can always look after myself!” But Pippi had not forgotten her father. He was a sea captain who sailed the great seas, and Pippi had sailed with him on his ship until one day a big storm blew him overboard and he disappeared. But Pippi was sure that one day he would come back. She didn’t believe that he had drowned (淹死). She believed that he had washed ashore on an island that was inhabited by natives and that her father had become king of them all. He walked around wearing a gold crown on his head all day long.
“My mamma is an angel, and my pappa is king of the natives. Not all children have such fine parents, let me tell you,” Pippi used to say with delight. “And as soon as my pappa builds himself a ship, he’ll come back to get me, and then I’ll be a native princess. Yippee, what fun that will be!” Many years ago her father had bought the old house that stood in the garden. He had planned to live there with Pippi when he grew old and was no longer able to sail the seas. Then, unfortunately, he was blown overboard. While Pippi was waiting for him to come back, she headed straight home to Villa Villekulla. That was what the house was called. It stood there, all furnished and ready — just waiting for her to arrive.
28. Where was Villa Villekulla
A. It was in a garden. B. It was on the sea.
C. It was on an island. D. It was in the heaven.
29. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. Pippi missed her parents very much.
B. Pippi’s parents died when Pippi was a baby.
C. Pippi was with her father when he fell into the sea.
D. Pippi’s father became king of the natives on an island.
30. Which of the following was most possible to happen
A. Pippi would become a princess.
B. Pippi’s father would come back to get her.
C. Pippi would live happily with her father.
D. Pippi would grow up without her parents.
31. Which of the following words can best describe Pippi
A. Naughty but clever. B. Rich but mean.
C. Imaginative but proud. D. Unlucky but optimistic.
D
Going vegan or vegetarian is one way to decrease your diet’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions (排放) — but it isn’t the only way. A recent Purdue University study suggests that smaller changes can make a difference too, while improving your health.
After analyzing the 2010 grocery purchases of more than 57,000 U.S. families, Purdue researchers found 71 percent could reduce their food carbon footprint by making some changes. One is to skip the unhealthy snacks. Avoiding foods with high calorie is important and low nutritional value can reduce the total carbon footprint of U.S. family food consumption by nearly 10 percent. Items like candy, soda, and packaged snacks take more ingredients and more processing, which translates to higher environmental impacts.
Another effective way to reduce your carbon emissions is to avoid bulk buys. Households of one or two people may end up with food waste when they try to save money with bulk buys. Before you buy supersize, consider whether a three-pound jar of peanut butter will go bad before it’s used up.
The researchers of the study also suggest consuming fewer ready-made foods. One average microwave meal may not have a very large carbon footprint. But buying them regularly can add up to high emissions because ready-made foods are sold in large quantities, which makes their carbon footprint significant, the study found.
By making the above changes, the U.S. could cut more than a quarter of emissions from household food consumption, the researchers say. That’s about 36 million metric tons — about what 6.6 million households generate in a year of electricity use. “Collective action can make a huge impact,” says study co-author Hua Cai.
32. Why does the author mention being a vegetarian in Paragraph 1
A. To encourage us to become vegetarians.
B. To introduce the findings of a recent study.
C. To illustrate the impact of greenhouse gas emission.
D To tell readers it’s not a good way to help the environment.
33. How many methods are suggested by the study to reduce our food carbon footprint
A. Two. B. Three.
C. Four. D. Five.
34. What do the underlined words “bulk buys” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Buying things in quantity.
B. Buying things of low quality.
C. Buying things out of date.
D. Buying things of low price.
35. What might Hua Cai mean by saying “Collective action can make a huge impact”
A. We should collect some materials to make a difference.
B. We should take measures quickly to make a difference.
C. We should make efforts together to make a difference.
D We should avoid all unhealthy food to make a difference.

Two years ago, Laura Eshelman was struggling with a mental problem. And to top it off, she was having trouble finding work.
One day, she was leaving a downtown business where she had yet another job application rejected (拒绝). Feeling extremely disappointed, she decided to go to the Whole Foods across the street and found something for her hungry stomach.
As she crossed the street, Eshelman noticed a man, who was asking for money on the corner. His messy hair and clothing made it seem like he’d been living outside for a while. She watched as he asked a passerby for change, but she even didn’t look at him.
As Eshelman approached, the man turned his attention to her, and again he asked if he could have a little bit of money. “Leave me alone. I don’t have anything to give you. Just go away!”, Eshelman shouted, almost giving vent to (发泄) all her negative feelings. But these unkind words were just what made her feel regretful and ashamed later.
The man was obviously embarrassed as well as a little surprised. It was normal for him to be refused, but not usually in such a rude way. He just lowered his head and Eshelman continued into the grocery store. After picking up some bread and a bottle of water, she went to the checkout to pay. And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing.
