Three Americans Win Nobel Economics Prize
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in economics to three Americans, Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller on Oct. 14, 2013. Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen are both professors at the University of Chicago. Robert Shiller is a professor at Yale University. They will share the prize worth about 1.2 million dollars. “This year's prize in economic sciences is about predictions.” All three of this year's prize winners are mainly known for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financial markets. They have had a big influence on the way people look at and talk about financial markets. Eugene Fama's research on financial markets in the 1960s led market watchers to change their ideas about investing. His ideas are linked to the theory that markets are efficient, which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time. This also means that over short periods of time, it is not possible to predict prices. Robert Shiller found, however, that over long periods, the opposite is true. It is possible to predict the movement of prices and that price changes are linked to human behavior. The findings of both economists have led to the growth of index funds, investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk. Mr Shiller also helped to create the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home prices index. That index follows home prices across the United States.Lars Peter Hansen developed a method for studying historical pricing information. His method supports Mr Shiller's findings and has influenced efforts to predict prices in the financial industry. The Nobel Prize in economics was not created by Alfred Nobel, but was established in his memory by Sweden's central bank in 1968.

Cyber Monday Clicks in with Record Sales
Cyber Monday rocked while mobile sales roared. The day widely regarded as the Super Bowl of online sales created a record day for retailers, including Walmart, and marked a shift in shopping preferences as smartphones and tablets drove nearly a third of traffic — and for some retailers, more than half. Walmart.com expects to register its biggest Cyber Monday yet, coming off a record Black Friday weekend online. Heading into the afternoon Monday, the website had already sold out of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, which weren't even discounted. Significant savings on TVs and tablets also encouraged shopping, says Joel Anderson, CEO of Walmart.com. Retailers from Target to Sears are fast evolving Cyber Monday into something more akin to Cyber Week, as online deals stretch well beyond Monday. As of 6 p.m. ET, sales on Amazon were up 44.3% over last year, while sales at eBay were up 32.1%, according to Channel Advisor, which tracks third-party sellers on eBay and Amazon. The online marketplaces are doing well in part because shoppers are heading to those sites to find popular products that are selling out at regular retailers, says Scot Wingo, CEO of Channel Advisor. Flash-sale site Rue La La started Cyber Monday deals on Sunday with a “Cyberthon” that drew more than 350,000 people to the site. The sale promoted as much as 80% off on more than 150 brands. On Monday, sales of Cole Haan and Pandora Jewelry merchandise were strongest, CEO Steve Davis says.
1. Retailers used mobile devices and drove nearly a third of traffic, or even more than half to online shopping. As we know that doesn't belong to the mobile device.回答ABC正确正确答案是:C获得2.00分中的2.00分

Online Shopping Spree Sets Record
Chinese shoppers spent billions online yesterday as they took advantage of discounts offered on Singles Day (November 11). It is a festival for young single people to celebrate by eating together, sending gifts or going shopping, thus seized on by online retailers to increase sales. It took only 13 hours for sales on just two online sites, Taobao and Tmall, to fly past last year's overall total of 19.1 billion yuan (US$3.1 billion).The final figure of Singles Day reached an astonishing 35.02 billion yuan as hundreds of thousands of consumers rushed to buy clothes, furniture, and home decoration items at discount prices. What friends and colleagues greeted each other with that day was “Bought anything today?” as they exchanged tales of bargains or disappointing news of popular items sold out minutes after the spree began at midnight. In under nine hours, turnover at the Alibaba Group's Tmall and Taobao sites had exceeded that of last year's Cyber Monday, a similar event in the United States. “We hope other e-commerce sites also did a good job as we want Singles Day to be a holiday for consumers and a good chance for retailers to discover the unmet needs of shoppers,” Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Alibaba Group, told reporters. “It's not a difficult thing to bring our total transaction size to 100 billion yuan in a couple of years but we hope to do more to help vendors and manufacturers to upgrade their products and service to reach more clients,” Ma said at a news briefing.

反馈解析:
1. 这里考查的是动词词组queue up的用法。queue up意为“排队等候”,at 和with 都不与queue搭配使用,所以选B。
2. 这里考查的是动词start + 动名词的用法。这里start 后面接的动词queuing,making, sipping, rubbing, stamping, chatting和waiting都是动名词形式, 而且是并列关系,因而hold也应该是动名词形式,所以选A。
3. 这里考查的是副词修饰动词的用法。excitement 是名词,意为“兴奋,激动”;excitedly 是副词,意为“兴奋地,激动地”,excited是形容词,有“兴奋的,激动的”之意。从词性的角度,修饰动名词chatting需要副词,所以选B。
4. 这里考查的是动词fall的过去式形式。fall是动词不定式,意为“来临”,fell 是fall的一般过去式,fallen是fall的过去分词。从时间状语判断,应该是一般过去时时态,此处应用fall的一般过去式,所以选C。
5. 这里考查的是动词put的固定搭配。put up with 是“忍受”的意思;put off有“推迟”之意;put down表示“记下,镇压”;另外,句子中表明黑色星期五疯狂购物状况:...the dark of night and the elbows of other shoppers so that they could bring home some bargains,即“......漆黑之夜和购物者的手肘, 以便他们能够把便宜货带回家”。所以选A。
