    Singles Day: Alibaba Says a Lot of People in China Bought Online
The planet's biggest shopping day has come and gone, and Alibaba again showed the world how many mountains of stuff (物品) it could persuade people to buy in the 24 hours.
    Monday was Nov. 11, known in China as Singles Day. This year, nearly $38.3 billion worth of stuff was sold on Alibaba's platforms (平台) that day, beating last year's $30.8 billion and making Black Friday look, yet again, like a yard sale.
    China has grown richer and more digitally connected. Alibaba has become a technology powerhouse. Along the way, the company has made a few famous friends. This year the singer Taylor Swift performed in its live-streamed evening gala (庆典) in Shanghai on Sunday. In previous years the model Miranda Kerr and the actors Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig also showed on the Singles Day stage.
    Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, A allowed people to buy almost everything. Alibaba's advantage wasn't hard to see: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards.
    Alibaba now calls itself a data and technology company, one that provides digital tools to help the businesses on its platforms. That, in turn, leads consumers to look to those platforms for their every need, from shopping and services to entertainment and travel. Today, Alibaba is itself a gigantic company, and it wants to grow bigger still.

A.A textbook.
B.A newspaper.

4．阅读理解
    In our annual Readers' Choice Awards survey, we asked our readers to rate their favorite cities in the world for arts and culture. These cities are centers of music and dance, museums, and theaters. Here are four of them where you can find inspiration in the arts, starting with the top spot.
    Rome, Italy
    At its peak, the Roman Empire extended over nearly two million square miles of land across Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa. Today, that history is on display everywhere. The city's main attractions are famous not because of tourist advertisements, but because they are really so impressive. No wonder it's known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day.
    Paris, France
    Hemingway famously called Paris "a moveable feast", but wherever you go while in the city, there is always something to see, hear, taste or feel. With some 150 museums, Paris doubles as an art history class, offering the very best of the discipline across centuries and styles.
    London, United Kingdom
    London is inspiration and setting for the rise of Shakespeare, Dickens, Orwell and Eliot and the breeding ground for all those iconic (标志性) bands: The Kinks, The Clash and The Stones. London is also Banksy's favorite canvas, home to more than 1,000 galleries, and the kind of place where you can spend a whole day in a single museum and still be ready for more when it opens the next morning.
    Vienna, Austria
    As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria's capital, which nurtured many famous musicians. It's also the site of the Vienna Secession, a revolutionary art movement founded in 1897 by Gustav Klimt. Visitors today can see the fruits of all that creativity in the city's 100 – odd museums.
（1）Why is Rome regarded as the Eternal City?
A.It had an important role in history.
B.Its history can be seen everywhere.
C.People can easily find new art and culture.
D.People can spend money well there.
（2）What does the underlined word "nurtured" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Produced.
B.Affected.
C.Attracted.
D.Changed.
（3）Which column can we probably find the text?
A.History.
B.Art.
C.Education.
D.Life.
【答案】 （1）C
（2）A
（3）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇阐明文，简介了四个世界上最受爱慕艺术和文化都市。
（1）考察细节理解。根据  Rome, Italy部分中“No wonder it's known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day.”可知难怪它被称为永恒之城：你可以永远在这里度过，每天都能发现新艺术和文化宝藏。由此可知罗马被视为永恒之城是由于人们可以很容易地找到新艺术和文化。故选C。
（2）考察词义猜测。根据Vienna, Austria部分中“As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria's capital”可知，假如没有奥地利首都，西方音乐将是不可识别，因此推断画线句句意：奥地利诞生了许多著名音乐家。由此可知划线单词意思为“产生，诞生”，故选A。
（3）考察推理判断。根据第一段中“In our annual Readers' Choice Awards survey, we asked our readers to rate their favorite cities in the world for arts and culture.”可知在一年一度读者选择奖调查中，我们规定读者对世界上最爱慕艺术和文化都市进行排名。以及文章内容重要简介了四个艺术和文化都市，由此可推知文章可以在“艺术”一栏找到。故选B。
【点评】本题考点波及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型考察，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要精确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出对答案。

5．阅读下列短文，从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    When first entered, Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.
    Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
    The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.

    The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well.
    The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).

    One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.
