阅读理解SinglesDayfallsoneveryNovember

阅读理解 Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled “Singles Day” on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives. To find out more about this celebration, please read on. An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong. One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the “four columns” card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day. Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four “ones”. These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it’s important that each person pay their own fee to show their independence. People also hold “blind date” parties in an attempt to say goodbye to their single lives. Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend “blind date” parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning “single” the four “ones” of the date can also mean “only one” as in “the only one for me.” Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only “one” in their heart.1.Singles Day got its name because _______.A.the persons who play Mahjong are four singlesB.the date consists of four “ones”C.only single persons celebrate the dayD.it was first celebrated at universities in Nanjing2.Which of the following is wrong?A.Singles Day was first celebrated in Nanjing’s universities.B.Many singles choose Singles Day to say goodbye to their single lives.C.The only way to celebrate the Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends.D.It was these college graduated students that carried their university’s tradition into society.3.We can infer from the passage that ______.A.the four singles did not get marriedB.Singles Day receives great popularity among young peopleC.when having dinner, one pays the fee for all his friendsD.on Singles Day many attend parties where blind people were present4.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Origin of Singles Day.B.How to Celebrate Singles Day.C.Singles Day.D.Say Goodbye to Singles Day.

BCBC解析1.第三段里有这句话：It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four “ones”.所以选B。2.第五段里的The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends,表示这只是主要的方式，而不是唯一的方式。所以选C。3.这是推理题，从第三段中Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.看出可选B4.整篇文章介绍了光棍节的来历，庆祝方法等所以选C. Singles Day. 其他选项只是细节，不能概括全文。
