【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】D

【4】B

【5】G

【解析】试题分析：本文介绍了美国的购物节，越来越多的人选择网路购物。

【1】C 空后的意思是;商店在一年的这个时间挣最多的钱，大约是全年营业额的20%到30%。所以这里选C（这是一年中最繁忙的购物街节。）与上下文一致。故选C。

【2】A空后的意思：在一个现代即时信息显示，购物者可以使用手机购物。所以这里选A（目前越来越多的人们选择网络购物。）与上下文一致。故选A。

【3】D 空前的意思：今年将近80%的购物者，或者说大约183.8百万的人在Cyber Monday购物。空后的意思：今年在Black Friday的网络消费上升了15%达到27亿。所以这里选D（五分之一的美国人使用平板电脑或者手机。）与上下文一致。故选D。

【4】B根据上句： According to a survey, 94.2percent of malls were full with shops by the end of 2014.…根据一项调查，到2014年底94.2%的购物广场商店是满的。所以这里选B（这是27年来的最高水平。）与上下文一致。故B正确。

【5】G 空后句意：那要说到中国的光棍节，11月11庆祝，2015的成交额达到143亿。因此这里G（然而，Cyber Monday并不是当今世界上最大的在线购物日。）与上下文一致。故选G。
