It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount of money, but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones will enjoy them. This concern (忧虑) is becoming greater and greater theses days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.

Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal (交易) on Black

Friday( the first Friday at Christmas time). It’s surely very difficult to pick up the courage

and get out there in the cold for a good deal. But sometimes it can be well worth. Many

retailers (零售商) offer specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday

specials, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.

Read advertisements regularly. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming,

retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.

Shop online. Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping.

The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some

specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.

42. The underlined word “specials” in Paragraph 2 means______.

A. 赠品

B. 奢侈品

C. 特价商品

D. 圣诞礼品

43. We can have more choices to get a good deal ______.

A. on the Internet

B. in specialty stores

C. from salesmen

D. from retailers

44. In this passage the writer wants to ______.

A. tell us to shop online

B. tell us the best way to do shopping

C. show us how hard it is to do Christmas shopping

D. give us advice on how to get a good deal at Christmas time

45. From the passage we can infer (推断) that ______.

A. people are surely able to get a good deal on Friday

B. it is possible for people to buy the perfect Christmas gifts with less money

C. retailers will be hungry because they are busy selling Christmas gifts

D. with traditional Christmas shopping, people can’t buy the perfect gifts

四、任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.

Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good 72 easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the 73 for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask 74 they didn’t want him. The answer was simple. “We don’t offer jobs to 75 people in Germany.”

What was wrong, you might wonder The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was 76 to skip buying subway tickets. So 77 save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway
