【5】G

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文，講述了現(xiàn)代生活中網(wǎng)購越來越流行，給實體店銷售帶來了很大的沖擊。

【1】C 根據(jù)橫線后兩句Shoppers make the most money this time of year, about 20 percent to 30 percent of all revenue all year. About 136 million people shopped during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.在黑色星期五購物的人很多，所花錢也很多。所以這一天是一年當(dāng)中最忙碌的購物的一天。故C正確。

【2】A 根據(jù)橫線后兩句In an era of instant information, shoppers can use their mobile phones to find deals. Nearly 80 percent of this year’s holiday shoppers, or about 183.8 million people, shopped on Cyber Monday在信息時代，網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物越來越流行，很多人都在網(wǎng)上買東西。所以A項內(nèi)容符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【3】D 這兩句仍然在說明網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物的流行。根據(jù)后一句Online spending on Black Friday rose 15 percent to hit $2.7 billion this year.今年黑色星期五的網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物上漲了百分之15。說明很多人都在用手機或電腦進(jìn)行網(wǎng)購，所以D項“One-in-five Americans used a tablet or smart-phone.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【4】B 根據(jù)后句According to a survey, 94.2percent of malls were full with shops by the end of 2014. That is the highest level in 27 years.根據(jù)調(diào)查，百分之94.2的購物中心里面都是店鋪。這和前兩段中實體店受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物欲沖擊而大量倒閉構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。說明實體店購物現(xiàn)在有繁榮的趨勢了。故B項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】G 根據(jù)最后一段That goes to China’s Singles’ Day, celebrated on November 11, which posted record sales of $14.3 billion in 2015可知中國的雙十一才是世界上最大的網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物節(jié)。Cyber Monday與中國的雙十一相比還有很大的差距。故G項符合上下文串聯(lián)。
