【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在感恩节之后的“黑色星期五”和孩子们在凌晨购物的经历。
1.C　细节理解题。根据第二段“So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was definitely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality time with Mum that they wanted.”可知,孩子们想让作者陪他们在感恩节之后的“黑色星期五”去购物,是因为他们需要作者为他们买单。故选C。
2.A　细节理解题。根据第三段“Then the hour-long car ride, we followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight.”可知,作者和孩子们一路上听歌和聊天,作者原本可以教育孩子们在开车时不能做什么事,但是那时作者只想与孩子们分享半夜时分购物的兴奋感。故选A。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句话“As I dug through mountains of clothing for a particular shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came towards me, a shirt in hand and victory on her face. ‘I got the last one!’”可知,作者想为丈夫找一件衬衫,但是没找到,就在这时,作者的女儿带着胜利的微笑拿着一件衬衫来到作者面前,说她抢到了最后一件。由此可推知,女儿脸上露出胜利的表情是因为她为她父亲找到了一件合适的衬衫。故选D。
4.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句话“Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children’s sweet faces, I decided, ‘If they ask me to go again next year, I’m in.’”可知,作者很累,但是看到孩子们的笑容,作者决定如果孩子们需要,他们明年的黑色星期五还去购物。由此可推知,作者觉得自己的购物经历是愉快的。故选B。

【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了墨西哥瓦哈卡州萝卜之夜的起源和节日盛况。
5.A　细节理解题。根据第一段“Down in Oaxaca, Mexico, there is a special festival on December 23rd called La Noche de los Rábanos, or the Night of the Radishes (萝卜之夜). Every year, people from all over the state display their amazing radish sculptures. Both Oaxacans and tourists wait excitedly for the 23rd, and line up starting in the afternoon to see the year’s art.”可推断,举行萝卜之夜是为了展示萝卜艺术。故选A。
6.B　段落大意题。根据第二段“Over a hundred years ago, there was a market held on December 23rd called La Vigilia de Navidad. It was a special Christmas market for people to buy ingredients, decorations, and so on. Vendors (摊贩) at this market would carve (雕刻) radishes to decorate their stalls. The carved radishes became very popular, and people started to buy them as Christmas decorations. Over the years, it is said that the vendors would compete to see who could make the best sculptures. Finally the tradition has become today’s yearly festival which draws tourists from all over the world.”可知,第二段主要讲述了萝卜之夜的起源。故选B。
7.C　推理判断题。根据第三段“There are two types of sculptures: traditional designs and ‘free’ designs. The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related to Oaxaca.”可知,瓦哈卡博物馆属于萝卜雕塑的传统设计。故选C。

句型公式　
【句式点拨】
“no+比较级+than”表示“两者都不”, 是对比较的两个对象进行否定,相当于该原级形容词或副词的反义词使用as…as结构的意思。因此,本句中no less than就相当于as much as。又如:
no better than=as bad as 与……一样不好(强调差)
no faster than=as slow as 与……一样不快(强调慢)
He is no more careful than you.=He is as careless as you.他和你一样粗心。
“not+比较级+than”表示“前者不如后者”。如:
He is not more careful than you. 他没有你细心。

A [2024·广东省湛江市高一期末]
This year I did something I’d never done—shopping at midnight on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. After all, you can get great deals online from the comfort of your bed over a hot cup of coffee. So why would I stand traffic, cold weather and crowds for a few bargains
For my teenagers, spending time with Mum is usually down on their list next to homework and picking up the dog waste. So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was definitely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality time with Mum that they wanted.
Then the hour-long car ride, we followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight.
The kids scanned for a spot once we finally reached the busy parking lot. There was something about standing in a line that snakes around the building in the freezing cold that brings people together. Once inside, we had to work as a team, hoping to come together with just the right size and colour. As I dug through mountains of clothing for a particular shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came towards me, a shirt in hand and victory on her face. “I got the last one!”
So we ended up at 3 am with some bargains. Nothing we couldn’t have found online or in stores at a reasonable hour. But for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children’s sweet faces, I decided, “If they ask me to go again next year, I’m in.”
(　)1.What did the kids need according to the author
A.Buying things online with comfort.
B.Taking a cup of coffee comfortably.

Down in Oaxaca, Mexico, there is a special festival on December 23rd called La Noche de los Rábanos, or the Night of the Radishes (萝卜之夜). Every year, people from all over the state display their amazing radish sculptures. Both Oaxacans and tourists wait excitedly for the 23rd, and line up starting in the afternoon to see the year’s art.
Over a hundred years ago, there was a market held on December 23rd called La Vigilia de Navidad. It was a special Christmas market for people to buy ingredients, decorations, and so on. Vendors (摊贩) at this market would carve (雕刻) radishes to decorate their stalls. The carved radishes became very popular, and people started to buy them as Christmas decorations. Over the years, it is said that the vendors would compete to see who could make the best sculptures. Finally the tradition has become today’s yearly festival which draws tourists from all over the world.
The radishes used in the festival are bigger than normal (up to 3 kg), and are harvested just a week beforehand. There are two types of sculptures: traditional designs and “free” designs. The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related to Oaxaca. Free designs can be anything, but sometimes include famous people and animals. There are also two other types of plant sculptures, one made from flowers, the other made from corn husks.
As you walk through the rows of radish art, you’ll hear live music, and you can even see fireworks in the end. Close by there are delicious street food, Christmas markets, and many galleries and stores, all decorated with lights.
For people wanting to travel for Christmas, Oaxaca is an excellent place to visit. There are lots of different events along with the Night of the Radishes. The weather in December is usually warm (20°C on average), and the sky is often sunny and cloudless. It’s a perfect vacation place for people coming from wintry climates.
(　)5.Why is the Night of the Radishes held
A.To display radish art.
B.To celebrate good harvest.
C.To express best wishes.
D.To mark seasonal changes.
(　)6.What does Paragraph 2 focus on about the Night of the Radishes

C.Its meaning.
D.Its celebrations.
(　)7.Which belongs to traditional designs of radish sculptures
A.A Mexican president.

C.The museum of Oaxaca.
D.A flower.
(　)8.What’s the purpose of the text

句型公式
no+比较级+than
【句式点拨】
“no+比较级+than”表示“两者都不”, 是对比较的两个对象进行否定,相当
于该原级形容词或副词的反义词使用as…as结构的意思。因此,本句中no less
than就相当于as much as。又如:
no better than=as bad as 与……一样不好(强调差)
no faster than=as slow as 与……一样不快(强调慢)
He is no more careful than you.=He is as careless as you.
他和你一样粗心。
“not+比较级+than”表示“前者不如后者”。如:
He is not more careful than you. 他没有你细心。

(1)Cars were first used at the end of the nineteenth century, and
were no faster than a horse.

This year I did something I'd never done—shopping at
midnight on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. After all, you can get
great deals online from the comfort of your bed over a hot cup of
coffee. So why would I stand traffic, cold weather and crowds for a
few bargains

For my teenagers, spending time with Mum is usually down on
their list next to homework and picking up the dog waste. So,
when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at
midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was definitely no! But
my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping,
wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it
was my wallet and a ride, not quality time with Mum that they
wanted.

Then the hour-long car ride, we followed songs on the radio
and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had opportunities
to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had
to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed
smiles at midnight.
The kids scanned for a spot once we finally reached the busy
parking lot. There was something about standing in a line that
snakes around the building in the freezing cold that brings people
together. Once inside, we had to work as a team, hoping to come

together with just the right size and colour. As I dug through
mountains of clothing for a particular shirt for my husband and
gave up, my daughter came towards me, a shirt in hand and
victory on her face. “I got the last one!”
So we ended up at 3 am with some bargains. Nothing we
couldn't have found online or in stores at a reasonable hour. But
for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired,
looking in the mirror at my children's sweet faces, I decided, “If
they ask me to go again next year, I'm in.”

B[2023·山东省威海市高一期末]
Down in Oaxaca, Mexico, there is a special festival on
December 23rd called La Noche de los Rábanos, or the Night of
the Radishes (萝卜之夜). Every year, people from all over the state
display their amazing radish sculptures. Both Oaxacans and tourists
wait excitedly for the 23rd, and line up starting in the afternoon to
see the year's art.
Over a hundred years ago, there was a market held on
December 23rd called La Vigilia de Navidad.

It was a special Christmas market for people to buy ingredients,
decorations, and so on. Vendors (摊贩) at this market would carve
(雕刻) radishes to decorate their stalls. The carved radishes became
very popular, and people started to buy them as Christmas
decorations. Over the years, it is said that the vendors would
compete to see who could make the best sculptures. Finally the
tradition has become today's yearly festival which draws tourists
from all over the world.

The radishes used in the festival are bigger than normal
(up to 3 kg), and are harvested just a week beforehand. There are
two types of sculptures: traditional designs and “free” designs.
The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related
to Oaxaca. Free designs can be anything, but sometimes include
famous people and animals. There are also two other types of
plant sculptures, one made from flowers, the other made from
corn husks.

As you walk through the rows of radish art, you'll hear live
music, and you can even see fireworks in the end. Close by there
are delicious street food, Christmas markets, and many galleries
and stores, all decorated with lights.
For people wanting to travel for Christmas, Oaxaca is an
excellent place to visit. There are lots of different events along with
the Night of the Radishes. The weather in December is usually
warm (20°C on average), and the sky is often sunny and cloudless.
It's a perfect vacation place for people coming from wintry
climates.
