It was a Black Day for love in South Korea on Monday with lonely hearts trying to ease their pain by diving head first into bowls of noodles.
South Korea celebrates the western Valentine’s Day on February 14，where the local custom requires women to give gifts to men.There is also a popular event beginning in Japan but now sweeping Asia known as White Day on March 14 when men return the favour by giving gifts to women.But Black Day，on April 14，is a South Korean original.It is marked by people who have not found love dressing in dark colours and having meals of black food，and the dish of choice being Chinesestyle noodles topped with a thick sauce of black beans.
“I had a miserable time on Valentine’s Day and felt even lonelier on White Day and now I’m crying over a bowl of black noodles，” said a young woman.“Things better be different next year.”
At universities across the country on Monday，students without lunch dates ordered black noodles，dined with other lonely hearts and searched for companionship.
South Korea marketers have hatched special days for the 14th of each month to create a calendar full of love.Some days，such as Black Day，have gained traction，while others，such as Green Day in August，when couples are supposed to drink cheap liquor that comes in green bottles and walk in the woods，haven’t attracted a crowd.
Black Day events have snowballed，with a major matchmaking service this year providing an evening of speed dating where the dish of choice is sushi blackened by squid (鱿鱼) ink.An online company for movie tickets sponsored a speed eating competition of black noodles for those who bought a single ticket for the latest films.“It is depressing enough going to the movies by yourself，” said Shin Younjoo of the company called Max Movie.“We just wanted to spread a little joy to the ‘withouts’．”
1．Which of the following statements about the customs in South Korea is RIGHT?
A．On White Day men return to women the gifts they received on Valentine’s Day.

C．On Black Day people who have not found love usually eat noodles.
D．On Black Day losers in love drink cheap liquor to say goodbye to the past.
2．The examples in Paragraphs 3～4 are mainly given to show people’s________.
A．hopes for Black Day
B．responses to Black Day
C．opinions about Black Day

B．Green Day originated from Black Day.
C．Green Day is more popular than White Day in South Korea.
D．Black Day and Green Day are aimed at different groups.
4．The underlined word “traction” in Para.5 has a similar meaning to “________”．

(2009年潍坊检测一)
Hoffman,40，a former senior vice president of a financial company，had what she describes as “one of those extreme jobs”．“I loved working，” she says.But her career path reached a crossroad when her second child was born，and she left her job in February 2007.Hoffman is one of many people who have left the work force to take a break，but she has a position as a consultant.She has described this type of career detour (绕路)—which is more common for women than for men—as “offramping.” Typically it occurs when the balancing act of parenting and work becomes too tough.
A study by the center found that more than 90 percent of women who offramp want to onramp back into the work force eventually.But making the transition back to work is rarely easy，and it is even harder in this economic climate of layoffs and hiring freezes.
Considering some of the obstacles faced by ontampers，a threeday program called “Greater Returns：Restarting Your Career” was held at Columbia University.The goal of the three days was to have them walk away with a big shot of confidence.
According to one school of thought，women looking to make a comeback might even have an advantage in the current economy，especially if they are looking for parttime or consultant positions that do not offer benefits.And a majority of onrampers are women with extensive working experiences that could give them a slight advantage over lessexperienced competition.
“You absolutely cannot be defensive about why you offramped，” Ms Hoffman says.“defensive” would have put her into a hard situation if the Greater Returns program had not taught her how to describe the years she spent at home.“I now feel confident talking to an employer and saying，‘Yes，I have been out of the work force，but here is where I can make significant contributions.’”
6．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Off ramp：it is common
B．On ramp：it is easy
C．Off ramp to on ramp：it can be a hard Journey
D．Off ramp or on ramp：it depends on confidence
7．According to the passage，Greater Returns________.
A．is intended to relieve the pressure of the jobless women
B．has all the jobless women restart their career
C．is to last all the year around for the jobless women
D．will build up the confidence of those in search of jobs
8．The main reason for the women’s offramping is that________.
A．they have to suffer the sexual discrimination
B．they reach a crossroad of career
C．they have to parent their children
D．they have great work pressure
9．Which job is easier to get for a woman offramper?
A．Regular workers. B．Casual workers.
C．Company managers. D．Bank clerks.
10．From what Ms Hoffman says in the last paragraph，we can conclude________.
A．she didn’t get advice from the Greater Returns program
B．she was defensive about her offramping
C．she didn’t get the job because she lied about her experience
D．she is on ramp partly due to her straightforward manner
答案：
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．B 句意为：他住院差不多五年了，因此感觉到自己好像与世隔绝了。cut out删掉；cut off sb.from...使某人与……隔绝；cut up打伤；cut through走近路。
2．B 句意为：“尼尔，听着，”她直盯着他说，“我要求你不要卷入这件事，跟你没关系。” sb.get involved in sth.某人卷入某事；get caught in被卡住，被钩住；撞上某人正在做；be attached to sth.喜欢，依恋某物；be connected with与……有关系。C、D两项不与in搭配，故根据句意应该选B。
3．A 据句意此处指“食物用光”，应用give out，而give off指“放出(蒸气、光)”；give away泄露；give in屈服。
4．A 第一空that引导主语从句；第二空what引导宾语从句，并在宾语从句中作表语。
5．C drop in/by顺便拜访；drop off打盹；drop out退学；pick up sb.接某人；pick out精心挑选。根据题意及各短语的意思可知选C。
6．A 由题干可知第一空是运用的“such＋a(an)＋adj.＋可数名词单数”。第二空后much是副词，要用so来修饰，故选择A项。
7．A complain to sb.about sth.对……发牢骚。complaint是名词。
8．D make it a rule to do表示“做某事成为惯例”，其中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。
9．B 否定词＋形容词比较级表示最高级的意义，意为“没有比……更……”。句意为：没有比这更差劲的比赛了，我本该在家里好好休息。
10．D pretend to be假装是……。to be发生在谓语动词之后或同时发生，to have been发生在谓语动词之前。根据后面的thinks，可知全句都用一般现在时，不表示已发生。句意为：鲍勃装作是一个聪明人，但我们都知道他并非像他想的那样聪明。
11．C in all总共；总计。or so大约；at most最多；at least至少。这本书花了你多少钱？根据答语“包括邮费”，可知应该用具体数字“总计……”。
12．A fortunately幸运地。hopefully满怀希望地；sadly伤心地；不幸地；unluckily不幸地。句意为：彼得从摩托车上跌了下来，但幸亏他戴着头盔，没有受伤。
13．A 考查不定代词的用法。因为此处“范围不确定”，所以用another，another four or five days表示“另外四五天”。句意为：他将在这里多待四五天。
14．B 当but表示“例外”时，如果but前面有实义动词do，动词不定式符号to常常被省略。句意为“没赶上末班车，又没有钱打车，所以我昨晚只好步行回家”。
15．C where引导地点状语从句。句意为：为安全起见，不要把火柴或香烟放在孩子够得着的地方。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲的是韩国的“黑色情人节”。
1．C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“...having meals of black food，and the dish of choice being Chinesestyle noodles...”，可知C为正确答案。
2．B 推理判断题。第三、四段分别列举了人们在Black Day那天的感受和所做的事情，总结起来就是对Black Day的反应。
3．D 推理判断题。根据第一段，可知Black Day针对的是“lonely hearts”；根据第五段，可知Green Day针对的是“couples”，因此它们的目标群体是不一样的。
4．A 词义猜测题。根据该段的“while others，such as Green Day”，可知作者将Black Day和Green Day进行对比；由于Green Day “haven’t attracted a crowd”，所以Black Day应该是很受欢迎的。
5．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“An online company for movie tickets sponsored a speed eating competition...We just wanted to spread a little joy to the ‘withouts’”，可知D为正确答案。
【语篇解读】 众多女性为了养育孩子而不得不放弃工作，后来又如何能够成功重返工作？一个名叫“胜利重返工作”的训练计划给了我们答案：自信和坦率是关键。
6．C 考查主旨大意。Off ramp (见文章第一段末尾)表示“离开工作”，On ramp (见文章第二段首句中)表示“在工作、重返工作”，文章主要围绕“离开工作→重返工作”这一主题；再结合第二段“But making the transition back to work is rarely easy”可推知答案为C项。
7．D 考查细节理解。参照第三段“The goal of the three days was to have them walk away with a big shot of confidence.”可知答案。
8．C 考查推理判断。参照第一段“But her career path reached a crossroad when her second child was born”和“Typically it occurs when the balancing act of parenting and work becomes too tough”可知答案。
9．B 考查细节理解。据第四段“According to one school of thought，women looking to make a comeback might even have an advantage in the current economy，especially if they are looking for parttime or consultant positions that do not offer benefits.”可推断“他们在找临时工作方面有优势”，所以B项“Casual (临时的) workers”正确。
10．D 考查推理判断。据文章末段中的关键词“cannot be defensive”“put her into a hard situation”可推测“她很坦诚地对待曾离开工作一事”可知答案。
