【解析】

試題分析:本文屬于說明文,講述了現(xiàn)代生活中網(wǎng)購越來越流行,給實體店銷售帶來了很大的沖擊。

【1】C 根據(jù)橫線后兩句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.在黑色星期五購物的人很多,所花錢也很多。所以這一天是一年當(dāng)中最忙碌的購物的一天。故C正確。

【2】A 根據(jù)橫線后兩句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在信息時代,網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物越來越流行,很多人都在網(wǎng)上買東西。所以A項內(nèi)容符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【3】D 這兩句仍然在說明網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物的流行。根據(jù)后一句Online spending on Black Friday rose 15 percent to hit $2.7 billion this year.今年黑色星期五的網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物上漲了百分之15。說明很多人都在用手機或電腦進行網(wǎng)購,所以D項One-in-five Americans used a tablet or smart-phone.符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【4】B 根據(jù)后句According to a survey, 94.2percent of malls were full with shops by the end of 2014. That is the highest level in 27 years.根據(jù)調(diào)查,百分之94.2的購物中心里面都是店鋪。這和前兩段中實體店受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物欲沖擊而大量倒閉構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。說明實體店購物現(xiàn)在有繁榮的趨勢了。故B項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】G 根據(jù)最后一段That goes to China’s Singles’ Day, celebrated on November 11, which posted record sales of $14.3 billion in 2015可知中國的雙十一才是世界上最大的網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物節(jié)。Cyber Monday與中國的雙十一相比還有很大的差距。故G項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

It is generally believed that money can’t buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. 【1】

1. Buy experiences, not material goods.

In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people don’t have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods. 2 But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.

2. 3

No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it. With the same money you spend on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.

3. Be sure to buy time.

4 For example, that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea, but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction, all other things being equal.

4. Try giving it away.

Elizabeth Dunn, professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in nations as diverse as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier. 5

A. Be sure to buy what you like.

B. Here are some ways to better spend your money.

C. Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.

D. There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something.

E. People think experiences only provide temporary happiness.

F. This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor.

G. Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.

【題目】In my eyes, the most basic and powerful way to communicate with another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking,there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.

One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand,we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen,they know we care.

I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs,until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down,to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry,they find me there with them.

This simple thing has not been that easy tolearn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.

【1】What does the author value most in the communication with each other?

A.Deep understanding.

B.Attention from heart.

C.Saying “I’m sorry”

D.Doing nothing.

【2】The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________.

A.she didn’t get enough respect from others

B.people often told her their own opinions

C.people couldn’t understand her sad situation

D.she was discouraged by being often interrupted

【3】If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying,you may________.

A.stop him from letting out his sorrow

B.make him embarrassed

C.encourage him to continue to cry

D.hurt his feelings

【4】Which of the following might be the author’s opinion about communication?

A. Just listen. B.Keep silent.

C.Be careful. D.Tell your own story.
