(2021·天津实验中学滨海学校高一期中)

“Where did the Christmas basket sitting on our front porch come from?”I thought to myself.I’d just returned from the bank,where I’d withdrawn enough cash to get us through the holidays.Life was a struggle,raising two teenagers as a single mom while working two part-time jobs and taking college courses at night.I was extremely tired.

Looking for a card or note,I searched the basket which was filled with all sorts of holiday foodstuffs.However,there was none.Had someone entered my name into a charity?The timing couldn’t have been better.It would support us through a period of difficult time.

At that very moment I felt a bit guilty (内疚).Wasn’t there someone else out there who needed it more?Yes,my kids and I were struggling,but my grandparents relied only on the state pension (国家抚恤金) to get by.At least I could always pick up extra hours at work.And when I finished my degree,things would improve a lot.

My conscience (良心) won the debate.I drove to Grandma and Grandpa’s little two-room house.Grandma opened the door.“Merry Christmas,Grandma!”I said,handing the Christmas basket to her.Grandma was thrilled.“Oh,thank you,Connie!We’ll be able to have such a nice dinner this Sunday.This will really help us until our pension comes.But what about you?”“We’ll be fine,”I said.After a short visit I excused myself.“I still have a lot of work to do,so I should head back.”

On the way home,thinking about Grandma’s smile,I knew the basket had gone to the right place.But like Grandma said,what about us?I still worried about how I could afford to make Christmas special for my kids.Then I saw it in front of my house,in the same spot as before — an identical Christmas basket,every bit as lovely as the first.

Ⅴ.七选五

If one thing on your wish-list is a stress-free holiday,then here are some shopping tips prepared for you,which will save both your time and money.

Don’t be tough on your brains.　1　 Don’t be afraid to look for clues and ask for ideas.First,see whether the folks on your to-buy-for list have already dropped some valuable hints of their dreamed items.If you strike out,encourage your lucky recipients to post items they wish someone would buy for them.You can also find inspiration in the many online gift guides.　2　 — Gifts for Dads,Gifts for Golfers and such.Then you’ll get the idea. 

　3　 You really can enlist your own personal helpers.Don’t feel guilty about that.Many stores have free professional shoppers who can pick out presents for you.We’re not talking just high-end stores such as Blooming-dale’s and Nordstrom.　4　 They’re all hungry to win your business away from online retailers.But you’ll likely need an appointment,so call ahead or search stores’ websites for “personal shopping”.You’ll typically find a link on the home page under Contact Us or Services. 

Have gifts delivered.Time is money,and for not a lot of money you can save a lot of time by having your gifts delivered right to your door.Some mom-and-pop shops offer delivery service while chain stores tend to charge for that,but it still might be worth paying for the convenience.　5　 First download the free app and see whether it’s available in your area.Then type the name of a store into the search bar,click on the store,and enter the item you want. 

A.Make an appointment ahead.

B.Can’t figure out what to buy?

C.Do you wish for a stress-free holiday?

D.Get someone else to do shopping for you.

E.They are typically organized by recipient,interest,and/or price range.

F.Others like Macy’s and J.Crew will also let you leave the shopping to them.

G.For local stores that don’t offer this convenience,try the Post-mates delivery service.

答案与解析

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章就节假日购物如何确定需要购买的物品给出了三点建议,来帮助人们节省时间和金钱。

1.B　根据下文中的“Don’t be afraid to look for clues and ask for ideas”以及后文中对需要购买物品的线索整理,可推断出,此处是指不知道要买什么东西,以此引起下文。故选B项。

2.E　根据下文“Gifts for Dads,Gifts for Golfers...”可知,给父亲的礼品,给打高尔夫球的人的礼物都进行了分类整理。据此推断,网上礼品参考都是按一定范围组织的,比如按照收件人、兴趣等,故选E项。

3.D　根据后句“You really can enlist your own personal helpers.”可知,你可以找你自己的私人助手,即让别人来帮你购物。故选D项。

4.F　上文中提到“Many stores have free professional shoppers who can pick out presents for you.”本空则是列举了其他一些商店,选项F中others对应上文中的many,承接自然,故选F项。

5.G　本空位于段落中间,有承上启下的作用。根据上文中的“it still might be worth paying for the convenience”可定位关键词convenience,G项中this convenience与之前后呼应。故选G项。
