China’s popular “Singles’ Day”，better known as “Double Eleven”，started out as a day to celebrate singles symbolized by the four number ones on the date of November 11.
With time that meaning has changed. In 2009, China’s e-commerce leader Alibaba set the day as a lucky shopping day for online sales as the date was both easy to remember and perfectly timed as it hit between the consumer spending lull（间歇）between：National Day and Chinese New Year. It soon became a hit，and double eleven became a buying frenzy（疯狂）spread across the world’s second largest economy.
In 2019，the Double Eleven Shopping Festival entered its eleventh year. During this decade Alibaba，Chinese e-commerce giant，and other e commerce platforms，together with consumers，have co-created a very big shopping event whose heat has swept the world. Foreign readers share their ideas on Singles Day in China：
Ghost Buster（UK）I think Double Eleven is unbelievable. It is not a religious festival that people of the same religion but living in different countries share. As an e-commerce faithful fan, I really love the shopping festival.
Emanreus (Australia) I work in Shanghai Many of my young female colleagues are still single They simply have no time to date, as they tend to work long hours then travel two hours by subway to get to and from work. Singles' Day is a day when they give themselves a treat with online shopping.
Blonde Amber (Ireland) It is nothing to be proud of to be in a country that spends so much online on a particular day. It does nothing more than show the superficiality(肤浅) of the temporary pleasure of shopping, and produces nothing more than a mountain of environmental waste. I bet there is plenty of buyers' deep regret after this day.
Ionstar (US) Singles’ Day became a big deal for Valentine's Day not for the singles Well Alibaba's 11. 11 has become more famous and important than that of Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的 It is not a religious festival that people of the same religion but living in different countries share.可知 “双十一” 购物节是生活在不同国家的人们共享的节日。

1.larger考查形容词比较级。根据than可知设空处用形容词比较级，故答案为 larger。
2.to make考查非谓语动词。“find + it形容词+动词不定式”。为固定句式，ⅱt是形式宾语，动词不定式是真正的宾语。
3.for考查介词。句意：经济学家说，生活成本是家庭必须为生活必需品支付的钱。pay for为…付钱。
4.greatly考查词性转换。修饰动词 increased，应用副词形式。
5. increasing考查非谓语动词。句意：没有人完全理解为什么生活成本持续上涨，但经济学家认为，工人和生产者可以使价格上涨。keep doing sth.继续做某事。
6.so考查连词。分析句子逻辑关系可知此处表示因果，故答案为so。

Ⅲ.语法填空
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过叙述自己在 Jayne教授所教科目下，努力争取A级并获得奖学金的故事告诉我们：不管做什么事，自身的努力不可或缺，任何人都有泄气的时候，但只有通过不断努力，给自己设定目标，才能不断进步。
1.A作为一个优等生，“我”认为“我”可以修（take）一些难的科目，并真正学到一些东西。由后面的 subjects可推断，此处表示选修一些课程。学习一门课程，修一门课程，习惯上都用take。take学习，读，修（课程）；discuss讨论；cover覆盖，涉及；get得到。

3.A当“我”参加第一次考试——英语时，“我”震惊（shocked）地发现“我”的试卷上只有77分，一个C+。第一段讲“我”对自己信心满满，可第一次考试后，“我”意外地发现自己竟然只得了77分。shocked震惊的；worried担心的；scared害怕的；anxious焦急的。

6.B他又一次耐心地听着，但不愿改变主意（mind）。attitude迷惑性最大，注意，这里探讨的还是分数能不能更改的事，而change one's mind是英语中一个比较常见的搭配，意为“改变一个人的想法或决定”，相对于态度，改分数的事更多是关于改变主意的。attitude态度；mind主意；plan计划；view观点。
7.D于是“我”加倍努力，第一次懂得（learned）了“彻底的”这个词的含义。memorize记住；consider考虑；accept接受；lean得知，学习。
8.B但“我”的努力没有奏效，一切都像以前一样（went）。根据 my effort did no good可知“我”的努力结果不好，跟以前一样，没有改变。stay停留，保持；go进行；work工作；change改变。
9.A不管“我”得多少分（grade），都不能取消三个C+。根据后文 three C-pluses可知，此处指的是分数。grade分数；answer答案；lesson课程；comment评论。

12.A第二天，“我”决定开心地（fun）考一次试。fun乐趣；luck运气；problem问题；trick阴谋，花招。
13.D他好像（seemed）在等“我”。根据语境可知，一周后我”惊讶地发现自己得了A，跑去找教授，发现教授好像早料到“我”会来，所以在等。happen发生；prove证明；pretend假装；seem好像，似乎。
14.C根据下文 you wouldn't continue to work hard并结合上文内容可知，教授说，如果“我”原来给了你所期望（expected）的A，那么你就不会继续努力了。value珍视；Imagine想象；expect期待；welcome欢迎。
15.D“我”盯着他，意识到（realizing）他的分析和策略是正确的。此处表示“我”看着他，这时才真正明白了他的用心。remember记住；guess猜测；suppose猜想；realize意识到；理解，领会。
