三、阅读理解(每小题3分，共15分)
Every app on my phone wanted me to know 11/11 was coming last week. I asked a co?worker if it was a special holiday. She laughed and said it was a shopping holiday. “It's just like Black Friday，” she explained. I hoped she was wrong.
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. For me, Thanksgiving is the best US holiday. It's the one holiday that does not need us to buy anything special. Yes, we buy turkey, but we also invite friends and family to share. Usually, each person cooks a different dish and brings it to the meal. It's a day to be grateful—not for turkey, but for the people we care about.

Starting around 4 am, thousands of people crowd (挤满) outside of stores and malls. When the doors open, they rush to the shelves (货架). What are they doing? On Black Friday, stores offer deep discounts (折扣), but they have a limited (有限的) number of items. As a result, it's “normal” for people to fight each other for cheap TVs and laptops—even toilet paper! In less than 24 hours, many people forget the lesson of Thanksgiving. Instead, they become mindless consumers (消费者).
Preparing for 11/11, I opened Taobao to find a discount on winter clothes. Two hours later, I found myself a mindless consumer too. Although I didn't fight in the crowded stores, I got lost among all kinds of goods and kept buying things I didn't really need. Maybe my co?worker was right—in some ways, 11/11 is like Black Friday.
26. In the US, ________ is a day for shopping.
A. Black Friday　　　　 B. 11/11
C. Thanksgiving　　　　 D. Christmas Eve
27. Americans do a lot of shopping on the day after Thanksgiving because ________.
A. every shop offers a limited number of items
B. many goods are cheaper than usual
C. shopping helps people forget their sadness
D. everybody goes shopping on that day
28. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “mindless”？
A. 乏味的　 B. 没头脑的　 C. 粗心的　 D. 阔绰的
29. What did the writer do during 11/11?
A. He didn't do any shopping.
B. He got lost in a shopping mall.
C. He went shopping with his co?worker.
D. He bought a lot of things on Taobao.
30. What does the writer think about 11/11?
A. He likes to shop online on 11/11.
B. 11/11 is exactly the same as Black Friday.
C. There are no deep discounts during 11/11.
D. People might buy some useless things.
四、任务型阅读(每小题3分，共15分)
Dear Zhang Hua,
Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, and (31)另一个是六月第三个星期天的父亲节.

六、范文：
Dear Tom,
I'm very glad to tell you something about the Chinese Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is very important in my country. Like Christmas, it's a traditional festival in China①. It usually comes in February, but sometimes it comes in January.
It's time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year②. We usually clean and decorate our houses carefully before it comes③. As soon as it comes, we will put up chunlian on the door and chuanghua on the window④. It means the start of the celebration⑤.
We celebrate the Spring Festival by eating a traditional family dinner on the eve before the Spring Festival⑥. There's so much delicious food. We eat jiaozi. After dinner, we usually watch a special programme on TV.
We always visit the relatives and friends and say “Happy New Year” to each other. When the kids greet their grandparents, they can get lucky money. The celebration lasts until the Lantern Festival comes⑦.
I like the Spring Festival very much and we usually have a good time.
Yours,
Li Lei
