Before midnight on Thursday, in malls across the US, people start queuing up outside the locked entrances of stores, making longer and longer lines, holding coupons (优惠券), sipping coffee and hot chocolate, rubbing their hands and stamping (跺脚) their feet for warmth, excitedly chatting, and waiting for the clerks to open the door when the time arrives. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which fell on Nov 28，2014, “has become in recent decades a special American holiday”, said the International Business Times. Indeed, up to 147 million Black Friday shoppers were expected to put up with the dark of night and the elbows(手肘)of other shoppers so that they could bring home some bargains, according to the US National Retail Federation. But why does the shopping festival have such a name? The name was first used in Philadelphia in the 1970s. The streets and sidewalks of the city became so packed with traffic and crowds on the day after Thanksgiving Day that the local police did not look forward to it. Because of this, they called the day “Black Friday”, said The Huffington Post. However, others believe that Black Friday takes its name from the fact that because of the increase in sales on the day, shops are able for the first time in the year to move out of the “red” that is, debt and into the “black”, or profit. Businesses, of course, try to take advantage of this day. A decade ago, retailers (零售商) opened at 5 or 6 am. Now, many of the big stores open at midnight. People really seem to like the whole experience of queuing up before midnight, “for it isnt just about the bargains”, noted CNN. “For many shoppers, its just fun to be part of a large crowd. Those who go to the malls at midnight are driven by the same thing that makes a million people get together in Times Square each New Years Eve.”1. Which of the following statements about Black Friday is TRUE?（细节） A. It is a special day in the US on which government hands out coupons to customers. B. It is a shopping festival in the US that falls on the second Friday after Thanksgiving. C. It has been a traditional American holiday since the founding of the nation. D. It is an opportunity for Americans to get things they want at a much lower price.2. According to The Huffington Post, the name of “Black Friday” may be first used _.（细节） A. at the beginning of the 20th century in the US B. by American people who expected to bring home bargains after Thanksgiving Day C. by the police to show their displeasure toward heavy traffic caused by shopping crowds D. to describe the bad weather on the day3. According to the article, people who queue up for Black Friday _.（细节） A. usually help each other to find good bargainsB. have great fun as part of the waiting crowd C. have a lot of complaints about the service of the retail clerksD. have to wait until 5 to 6 am to start shopping4. What is the article mainly about?（主旨） A. The shopping habits of Americans.B. An introduction to the origin and influences of Black Friday. C. Tips on how to get good bargains on Black Friday. D. Peoples mixed feelings toward Black Friday.参考答案14、DCBB阅读It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to work up the desire to rewrite,it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers opinions. One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that were often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down. Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work.Different from popular belief,we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as mentalese),and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language. But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry(织锦),writing can only be composed one thread at a time. Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple. It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.When people write as if some strict critics(批评家) are looking over their shoulder,they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem. When writing we should have two different minds. At the first stage,we should see every idea,as well as the words we use to express it,as wonderful and worth putting down. It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.1. What do we learn from the text about those famous writers?A. They often regret writing poor works.B. Some of them write surprisingly much.C. Many of them hate reading their own works.D. They are happy to review the publishers opinions.2. What do people generally believe about the way human minds work?A. People think in words and sentences.B. Human ideas are translated into symbols.C. People think by connecting threads of ideas.D. Human thoughts are expressed through pictures.3. What can we conclude from the text?A. Most people believe we think in symbols.B. Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable.C. The writers and critics can never reach an agreement.D. Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work.【参考答案】56.1-3 CAD 社会生活类 Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26funded with 2. 5 million of taxpayers moneywas announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged. The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13. 6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost 470 million. One theatre source criticised the Governments priorities (优先考虑的事)in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying:“I dont know why the Governments wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Governments plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said:“I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre. Mr. Burnham said:“A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear its not for them. Its time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture
