D. news report.BI was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills and day between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Since I work from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break.Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the comer, there was not enough time left to make the trip.So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town.By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.24. Where did the writer learn that there would be a concert?A. From his friend.B. From the newspaper.C. From one of his work-mates.D. Over the radio.25.

B. puzzled.C. confused. D. delighted.27. How would the writer most probably feel at last?A. Satisfied. B. Calm.C. Upset. D. Excited.CBlack Friday come of age in the 1980s, kicking off the holiday shopping season. The race once ended in tragedy when 2,000 shoppers burst through the doors at a Wal-Mart on Long Island, NY, in 2020 and trampled(踩) an employee to death before the 5am opening, all in the name of finding a bargain.Since 2020, several retailers(零售商) including Toys “R” Us, Macys, Wal-Mart and Target have introduced shopping on Thanksgiving night, turning what was once a day of feasting, family and football into one more day for shopping, one more day for retail workers to be on the job.Thanksgiving deserves to be celebrated as a holiday all its own. It has been a unique American tradition since Abraham Lincoln declared a national day of Thanksgiving, a holiday that all families, despite their race, religion or culture, can share.The good news this year is that the public is pushing back against shopping on Thanksgiving Day. In a survey by Deloitte this fall, 67% of shoppers said they disagreed with stores being open on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Black Friday has lost some of its appeal. Foot traffic(人流量) has been down is recent years. And net sales in stores have declined. Special discounts are offered earlier in November, so theres no point in waiting until Friday. Customers are getting used to shopping online at their leisure. Over the past year, online shopping grew far fast than overall sales, boosted in part by onlines continuing unfair sales tax advantage over stores.None of this is to suggest that theres anything wrong with shopping. Retailing is a huge driver of the US economy, generating jobs in manufacturing and employing more than 10 million retail sales workers.But for the final Thursday each November, it would be better to give it a rest.28. Why did 2,000 shoppers rush into a Wal-Mart on Long Island in 2020?A. To buy thanksgiving gifts. B. To protest against online shopping.C. To celebrate Black Friday. D. To find a bargain.29. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some people think Thanksgiving Day a time for celebration.B. People can get the highest discount on Thanksgiving Day.C. All the people prefer to go shopping online.D. More and more people dont like to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.30. What does the underlined word “boosted” mean?A. Declined. B. Promoted. C. Decreased. D. Appealed.31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Black Friday is a holiday set up by Abraham Lincoln.B. Black Friday darkened the mod of American customers.C. Retailing has made great contributions to the US economy.D. Shopping will be forbidden on Thanksgiving Day.DPeople have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (疗法) like herbal tea or chicken soup.Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, Professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so its easy to believe that its medicine-rather than time-that deserves the credit(赞誉), USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can tackle much more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why.To understand it, you first need t know how antiviral( 抗病毒的) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw( 拼图 ) puzzle, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2020. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmcnberg at University of Wisconsin- Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed(高清的) 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that dont really work.32. The author thinks traditional home remedies the common cold.A. actually have no effect on B. are slightly helpful in fightingC. are effective against D. still need to be improved to work on33. We can learn from the article that todays antiviral drugs work mainly by .A. absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same timeB. changing the surface structures of known cold virusesC. preventing colds from developing into serious diseasesD. breaking up cold viruses directly34. We can infer from the article that .A. scientists have already found a cure for the common coldB. the surface of cold viruses look quite similarC. scientists were unaware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recentlyD. understanding the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure35. What does the article mainly talk about?A. How scientists found a previously unknown cold virus.B. How drug trials helped scientists find cures for common cold.C. Why current cold remedies are useless.D. Why the new 3-D model of the cold virus is significant.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its typical to feel your mood starting to become bad.
