D.Money-wasting.【答案】4.D5.B6.C7.A【解析】【導語】本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹作者在感恩節之后的“黑色星期五”和孩子們在凌晨購物的經歷。【4題詳解】細節理解題。根據第二段“So,whentheyaskedmetotakethemshoppingatthemallatmidnightonBlackFriday,myfirstreactionwasdefinitelyno!Butmyson,whousuallyrunstheotherwayifImentionshopping,wantedmetotakehimshopping.Ifeltneeded,thoughIknewitwasmywalletandaride,notquality(高質量的)timewithMomthattheywanted.(所以，當他們讓我在黑色星期五午夜帶他們去商場購物時，我的第一反應絕對是否定的！但我兒子，如果我提到購物，他通常避開，他想讓我帶他去購物。我覺得自己被需要了，盡管我知道這是我的錢包和一輛車，而不是他們想要的和媽媽在一起的美好時光)”可知，孩子們想讓作者陪他們在感恩節之后的“黑色星期五”去購物，是因為他們需要作者為他們買單。故選D。【5題詳解】細節理解題。根據第三段“Thenthehour-longcarride.Wefollowedsongsontheradioandtalkedaboutthedealswehopedtoget.Ihadopportunitiestogivethemlessonsonwhatnottodowhendriving,butIhadtokeepthepeace.Andweallconnectedaswesatwithcrazedsmilesatmidnight.(然后是一個小時的車程。我們跟著收音機里的歌曲，談論著我們希望買什么。我有機會教他們開車時不要做什么，但我必須保持平靜。午夜時分，當我們坐在那里瘋狂地微笑時，我們都聯系在了一起)”可知，孩子們一路上聽歌和聊天，作者原本可以教育孩子們在開車時不能做什么事，但是那時作者只想與孩子們分享半夜時分購物的狂熱心情。故選B。【6題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第四段“AsIdugthroughmountainsofclothingforaparticularshirtformyhusbandandgaveup,mydaughtercametowardme,shirtofthekindinhandandvictoryonherface.“Igotthelastone!”(當我在堆積如山的衣服中為丈夫挖了一件特別的襯衫并放棄時，我的女兒向我走來，手里拿著襯衫，臉上洋溢著勝利。“我得到了最后一個！”)”可知，作者想為丈夫找一件襯衣但是沒找到，就在這時，作者的女兒帶著勝利的微笑拿著一件襯衣來到作者面前，說她搶到了最后一件。由此可推知，女兒臉上露出勝利的表情是因為她為她父親找到了一件合適的襯衫。故選C。【7題詳解】推理判讀題。根據最后一段“Drivinghometired,lookinginthemirroratmychildren’ssweetfaces,Idecided,“Iftheyaskmetogoagainnextyear,I’mready.”(開車回家時，我很累，看著鏡子里孩子們可愛的臉，我決定：“如果他們明年再邀請我去，我已經準備好了。”)”可知，作者很累，但是看到孩子們的笑容，作者決定如果孩子們需要，明年的黑色星期五還來購物。由此可推知，作者覺得自己的購物經歷是愉快的。故選A。CSaodatSadikovaisanEnglishteacherinJizzakh,Uzbekistan.Asayounggirl,shedreamedofbecomingaflightattendant(空乘人員)andtravelingtheworld,soshelearnedatleastthreelanguages.Althoughshewasnotabletobecomeaflightattendant,SadikovacouldspeakUzbek,Russian,EnglishandTurkish.Sadikovahasnevertraveledabroadbutreportsfeelingconnectedtopeoplearoundtheworld.AmericanTrinaBrightworkedineducationfornearly25yearsandshetraveledtomanycountries,includingChinaandSouthAfrica.BrightusedstoriesfromhertravelstohelpherstudentsintheU.S.understandtheirplaceintheworldandseevalueintheirowncultures.ButBright,unlikeSadikova,doesnotreportfeelingconnectedtopeoplearoundtheworld.Brightisnotalone.PewResearchCenterrecentlyaskedpeoplein24countriesaseriesofquestionsabouthowconnectedtheyfeeltotheworldtosee
