【解析】試題分析：本文介紹了西方國家感恩節(jié)后的“黑色星期五”的由來以及一些相關(guān)的情況。

【1】考查動詞。句意：它經(jīng)常被稱為“黑色星期五”。refer to…as…“把……稱為……”。refer與主語It是被動關(guān)系，由is推斷，用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動語態(tài)。refer的過去分詞是referred。故填referred。

【2】考查名詞。句意：零售店店主過去用黑墨水記錄利潤，用紅墨水記錄虧損。and連接名詞profits in black ink和___2____(lose) in red ink作record的賓語，由profits推斷空格處用名詞，loss“損失”是可數(shù)名詞。故填losses。

【3】考查非謂語動詞。句意：因此感恩節(jié)后的星期五“用黑色”意味著一件好事，商店又盈利了。 _____3_____(be) “in the black”是主語，作主語用動名詞描述泛指的抽象的動作，根據(jù)語境。故填being。

【4】考查非謂語動詞。句意：黑色星期五對于許多零售商是一個(gè)重要的日子，它給顧客提供了一個(gè)以令人吃驚的價(jià)格購買商品的機(jī)會。______4______(get) all of one’s holiday shopping done作定語修飾opportunity，用不定式作定語表示未發(fā)生的動作。故填to get。

【5】考查形容詞。句意：多數(shù)商家都會很早開門迎客，同時(shí)為顧客提供許多吸引人的折扣。and連接massive和attractive作定語修飾名詞discounts，作定語用形容詞。故填attractive。

【6】考查介詞。句意：許多假日購物者在早晨會早早地開始圣誕節(jié)購物。a number of“許多”是固定短語，修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)。故填of。

【7】考查定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，______7______is the other idea of a “Black Friday”是非限制性定語從句，指代主句整個(gè)意思，從句中作主語，引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句用關(guān)系代詞which。故填which。

【8】考查冠詞。句意：他們不喜歡的一天。根據(jù)語境，此處表示泛指，作a “Black Friday”的同位語。故填a。

【9】考查形容詞的比較級。句意：它過去常常是一年中最繁忙的購物日。形容詞最高級前常用定冠詞the，介詞短語of a year表示范圍，根據(jù)語境，用形容詞最高級。故填busiest。

【10】考查動詞。根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語In recent years可知，“see”這一動作表示從過去一直延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作，用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，主語the Saturday before Christmas是第三人稱單數(shù)，謂語動詞“see”表示“見證”，與主語是主動關(guān)系。故填has seen。
