【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了近几年在美国很流行的购物节 ——网购星期一。
【1】考查定语从句。句意:在这一天,零售商通常会给网购者很大的折扣。此处为定语从句,关系词指代先行词a day并在从句中作介词on的宾语,故填which。
【2】考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,数以千万计的购物者在这一天购物,以获得节日购物季的最佳礼物。根据句意可知此处表示目的,用不定式作目的状语,故填to get。
【3】考查时态语态。句意:虽然一开始它被认为是一个绝对的美国节日,但后来它已经传遍了全世界。主语it与consider之间是被动关系,根据时间状语“at first”可知此处表示过去的事情,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,而且谓语动词用单数,故填was considered。
【4】考查固定短语。句意:目前的一种看法是,随着越来越多的消费者决定在网上购物,网购星期一正导致黑色星期五的衰落。lead to是固定短语,表示“导致”,故填to。
【5】考查名词的数。句意同上,consumer是可数名词,more and more修饰可数名词复数,故填consumers。
【6】考查名词。句意:这要么是因为方便,要么是因为网上购买的商品价格较低。due to 后接名词作宾语,故填convenience。
【7】考查冠词。句意:网购星期一不是法定假日。holiday是可数名词,此处用不定冠词表泛指,public 的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
【8】考查副词。句意:因此,在美国,无论是在州还是联邦层面,都没有注意到这一点,这意味着所有在这一天正常营业的企业都照常营业。修饰形容词open用副词,故填normally。
【9】考查非谓语动词。句意:不幸的是,一些网购者在周一上班时间花了很多时间寻找便宜货。
spend time (in) doing表示“花费时间做某事”,故填looking。
【10】考查形容词。句意:毕竟,在工作时间上网购物是不合适的。此处缺少形容词作表语,故填suitable。
