(2016·安徽省级示范高中第二次联考)
Small Business Saturday is an American shopping holiday created in 2010，held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.
Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to support small business owners and help fuel the economy by shopping at their favorite local stores.
Small businesses are critical to the nation’s economy.There were nearly 28 million small businesses in the United States last year.Over the past two decades，they created 65 percent of net new jobs.Their importance to local communities extends even further.For every $100 spent in locallyowned，independent stores，$68
returns to
the community through taxes and other means. “Small business is the engine of job creation in the US economy，” said Ken Chenault，the CEO of American Express.“It is also among the sectors (领域) hardest hit by the economic crisis.By spreading the word about Small Business Saturday，we can help raise awareness about the critical role small businesses play in cities and towns across the country at a time when they need support the most.”
Mayor Bloomberg said，“Small businesses are the glue that holds communities together，and we’ve always sought new ways to support them—something that became even more important when the national economic downturn began.When Ken Chenault told me about his idea for Small
Business Saturday，I jumped at the opportunity to participate.This year，if you have the opportunity to shop on the Saturday after Thanksgiving，make it a point to visit local small businesses.It really can make an enormous difference for merchants trying to succeed.”
Ken Chenault hopes that supporting local business will be more than just a oneday event.“When we invest in small businesses，we are investing in Main_Streets—the places that give our towns and cities a unique sense of place，”
said Mr Chenault.“By celebrating Small Business Saturday and shopping at independent businesses，everyone can play a part in strengthening our economy and supporting revitalization (复苏) on our Main Streets.”
1．We can know from the passage that Small Business Saturday________.
A．was created to protect the environment
B．was started by American Express
C．has a wide influence across AmericaD．is supported by most holiday shoppers2．Who will directly benefit from Small Business Saturday?
A．Individuals.B．Holiday shoppers.
C．Small business owners.
D．Big business owners.
3．According to Ken Chenault，what are the bases of the US economy?
A．Families.
B．Communities.
C．Small businesses.
D．Big businesses.
4．What does “Main Streets” (in the last paragraph)refer to?
A．Small American businesses.
B．American towns and cities.
C．The US economies.
D．Big American companies.

Dear Mayor，
I’m a resident of the city.I feel there are many problems existed in the trade of taxis in our city.First of all，there aren’t enough stops in the streets.And taxis often run very fast，which caused many traffic accidents.Additional，some taxi drivers refuse to pick some passengers without any reason.Another terrible thing is that deeply at night taxis waiting around entertainment places make too much noise.A friend of mine living in another city once visited to me，and she told me a taxi driver once cheated her by taking a roundabout route.How will a guest think of our city after such bad experience?
I think we must take actions to tighten control over the taxi trade.The last thing to do is raise the taxi drivers’ professional morality.
Sincerely yours，

.单项填空
1．解析： 由Most couples only have one child these days可知现在形势与过去不同了，故选D项。so far so good直到现在为止还可以。
答案： D
2．解析： deep in thought是固定搭配，意为“陷入沉思”；nice meal是泛指，故其前用a。
答案： C
3．解析： us(wonder的逻辑主语)与wonder(想知道)是逻辑上的主动关系，且wonder这个动作与leave同时发生，故选动词ing形式。
答案： A
4．解析： 由表示过去的时间状语on the first day it was released可知此处应用一般过去时。
答案： A
5．解析： 由argued all the time可知，我们其他人的晚上被彻底“毁掉了”，故选ruined。
答案： B
6．解析： 分析句子结构可知此处为定语从句，再结合discuss sth.with sb.结构可知应选C项。
答案： C
7．解析： a look of surprise 惊奇的表情；in a dream在梦中。
答案： D
8．解析： equip(配备)与the explorers之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且该动作发生在谓语动作之前，故选过去分词。
答案： B
9．解析： build与bridge之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用被动语态；由“那时需要走另外一条路去机场”可知，build这个动作在当时正在进行，故用过去进行时。
答案： A
10．解析： it was getting late是I decided to book into a hotel的原因，故选As(因为)。
答案： D
11．解析： ________I remember most clearly是主语从句，在这个从句中缺少宾语，且表语描述的是一件事，故选what(所……的事)。
答案： D
12．解析： 句意为：从她脸上的表情可看出她有点担忧，但我不知道是怎么回事。分析句子可知所填选项作状语所以排除A、C、D三项，这三个选项都是作定语修饰名词的。
答案： B
13．解析： 考查名词辨析。由“It is very near the shop where I work.”可知我买这套房子是因为它很方便(convenience)。
答案： C
14．解析： 考查动词词义辨析。选择动词需要看宾语，此题空后的宾语是the gap“代沟”，结合语意可知此处表示“缩小代沟”，据此可将A和B排除。gap有宽窄之分，所以选择narrow“使变狭窄，使缩小”。reduce指数量、程度的降低或减少。
答案： C
15．解析： 考查时态和虚拟语气。句意为：——醉酒司机希望他在事故中没造成那么多的伤亡。——但他造成了。wish后的宾语从句用虚拟语气，对过去的虚拟用过去完成时，故第一空用hadn’t caused；第二空是过去的客观事实，用一般过去时，故选C。
答案： C
