B Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays in the United States and Canada. Unlike many other American holidays, Thanksgiving isn’t about gifts, fireworks shows, or games, but about being with family, and giving thanks and celebrating your blessings (祝福). The modern Thanksgiving holiday is based on the Thanksgiving harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims who were early English settlers (定居者). The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth Bay in modern-day Massachusetts in 1620. They celebrated Thanksgiving after their first successful harvest in 1621. That first holiday lasted for three days, and was attended by both Pilgrims and Native Americans and celebrated the friendship between them. During the previous winter, the Pilgrims had struggled to survive. Their crops had died in the sandy soil and they had trouble finding food. The winter in Massachusetts was much colder than the winters back in England. Half the Pilgrims died and more were at risk of dying. The local Native Americans provided the Pilgrims with food and supplies during the winter. The next summer, they also taught the Pilgrims several important survival skills like how to grow corn. This festival marked one of the first friendly exchanges between Pilgrims and Native Americans. Historically, Thanksgiving was celebrated at a time when most farmers were finished harvesting their crops. They would have a big dinner with their family and closest friends to celebrate their blessings and harvests. President Abraham Lincoln later established (确立) the tradition of a national and annual Thanksgiving holiday. While most Americans are no longer farmers, the tradition of celebrating blessings and food remains and the holiday is still held at harvest time, on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. 24. What makes Thanksgiving different from other American holidays according to the text? A. The close family tie. B. The holiday song. C. The love of shopping. D. The historical background. 25. What can we learn about Thanksgiving from the text? A. It was started by the British. B. It suggested a struggle for food. C. It got developed for medical purpose. D. It was first celebrated to honour the dead. 26. What did the Native Americans teach the Pilgrims? A. How to give directions. B. How to grow corn. C. How to take exercise. D. How to keep warm. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The History of American Holidays B. The Kindness of the Native Americans C An Introduction to Thanksgiving D. A Hidden Secret of a National Holiday C The Chinese Calligraphy Conference (《中国书法大会》) is a cultural program.

He seldom played with his classmates; and when the teacher asked him to answer questions in the class, he always lowered his head without saying a word. One spring, the boy’s father asked for some saplings (树苗) from the neighbor. He excitedly told his children to plant a sapling each person. The father said, “Whose small tree grows best, I will buy a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees with great enthusiasm, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it any longer. A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brothers and sisters, his appeared greener and more vital. And his father kept his promise and bought the little boy his favorite gift. Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic.

The room we book is on the third floor, not the fourth. We’ll begin at five PM with snacks and drinks. We are lucky enough to have booked jumping jive.

Unlike many other American holidays, Thanksgiving isn’t about gifts, fireworks shows, or games, but about being with family, and giving thanks and celebrating your blessings (祝福). The modern Thanksgiving holiday is based on the Thanksgiving harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims, who were early English settlers (定居者). The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth Bay in modern-day Massachusetts in 1620. They celebrated Thanksgiving after their first successful harvest in 1621. That first holiday lasted for three days, and was attended by both Pilgrims and Native Americans and celebrated the friendship between them. During the previous winter, the Pilgrims had struggled to survive. Their crops had died in the sandy soil and they had trouble finding food. The winter in Massachusetts was much colder than the winters back in England. Half the Pilgrims died and more were at risk of dying. The local Native Americans provided the Pilgrims with food and supplies during the winter. The next summer, they also taught the Pilgrims several important survival skills like how to grow corn. This festival marked one of the first friendly exchanges between Pilgrims and Native Americans. Historically, Thanksgiving was celebrated at a time when most farmers were finished harvesting their crops. They would have a big dinner with their family and closest friends to celebrate their blessings and harvests. President Abraham Lincoln later established (确立) the tradition of a national and annual Thanksgiving holiday. While most Americans are no longer farmers, the tradition of celebrating blessings and food remains and the holiday is still held at harvest time, on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. 24. What makes Thanksgiving different from other American holidays according to the text? A. The close family tie. B. The holiday song. C. The love of shopping. D. The historical background. 25. What can we learn about Thanksgiving from the text? A. It was started by the British. B. It suggested a struggle for food. C. It got developed for medical purpose. D. It was first celebrated to honour the dead. 26. What did the Native Americans teach the Pilgrims? A. How to give directions. B. How to grow corn. C. How to take exercise. D. How to keep warm. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The History of American Holidays B. The Kindness of the Native Americans C. An Introduction to Thanksgiving D. A Hidden Secret of a National Holiday 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了感恩节的由来、形式以及庆祝时间。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays in the United States and Canada. Unlike many other American holidays, Thanksgiving isn’t about gifts, fireworks shows, or games, but about being with family, and giving thanks and celebrating your blessings (祝福).(感恩节是美国和加拿大最重要的节日之一。不像许多其他的美国节日，感恩节不是关于礼物、烟花表演或游戏，而是关于与家人在一起，表达感谢和庆祝你的祝福)”可知，感恩节与其他美洲节日的不同之处在于它是与家人在一起并表达感恩感谢与祝福的节日，体现了紧密的家庭纽带。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The modern Thanksgiving holiday is based on the Thanksgiving harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims, who were early English settlers (定居者).(现代的感恩节是基于清教徒庆祝感恩节丰收的节日，他们是早期的英国移民)”可知，感恩节是由英国人发起的。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The next summer, they also taught the Pilgrims several important survival skills like how to grow corn.(第二年夏天，他们还教清教徒们一些重要的生存技能，比如如何种植玉米)”可知，美国原住民教清教徒种植玉米。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The modern Thanksgiving holiday is based on the Thanksgiving harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims, who were early English settlers (定居者). The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth Bay in modern-day Massachusetts in 1620. They celebrated Thanksgiving after their first successful harvest in 1621.(现代的感恩节是基于清教徒庆祝感恩节丰收的节日，他们是早期的英国移民。1620年，清教徒在今天的马萨诸塞州的普利茅斯湾登陆。他们在1621年第一次丰收后庆祝感恩节)”可知，本文介绍了感恩节的由来。由此可知，C选项“An Introduction to Thanksgiving(感恩节简介)”最适合作本文标题。故选C。 C The Chinese Calligraphy Conference (《中国书法大会》) is a cultural program.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】has disappeared 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：在过去的50年里，大约17%的雨林由于人类活动而消失。根据“Over the past 50 years”可知，本句为现在完成时；结合句意，此处指雨林“消失”，应用提示词的反义词disappear，主语不可数，助动词用has。故填has disappeared。 59.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】dressed 【解析】 【详解】考查过去分词。句意：穿着华丽服装的舞者用他们出色的表演给观众留下了深刻的印象。be dressed up in “穿着盛装”为固定短语，本句为过去分词作后置定语，填过去分词dressed。故填dressed。 60.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】be surrounded 【解析】 【详解】考查语态。句意：几个月后，新栽树将被五颜六色的鲜花包围。主语the newly planted trees与surround之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。will后接动词原形。根据句意，故填be surrounded。 62. The Amazon river, from ______ the rainforest gets its name, is close to 6,400kilometers in length. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】which 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：亚马孙河的长度接近6400公里，雨林的名字就是由此而来。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The Amazon River，故用关系词作介词from的宾语，先行词指物，应用which。故填which。 63.

He seldom played with his classmates; and when the teacher asked him to answer questions in the class, he always lowered his head without saying a word. One spring, the boy’s father asked for some saplings (树苗) from the neighbor. He excitedly told his children to plant a sapling each person. The father said, “Whose small tree grows best, I will buy a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees with great enthusiasm, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it any longer. A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brothers and sisters, his appeared greener and more vital. And his father kept his promise and bought the little boy his favorite gift. Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. Nevertheless, again and again on his mind the little boy wondered why his little tree should grow so much better than others’, since he had never paid enough attention to the tree. Who should have done everything? 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One night, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn’t sleep. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Decades passed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One night, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn’t sleep. He wanted to go to see the tree, and figure out what had happened. When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with great care. All of a sudden, he understood: his father had been secretly fertilizing his small tree! Father had done everything for the little tree, especially for him! He returned to his room, tears running down without restraint. Decades passed. The little boy grew up and was cultivated with an image of a successful statesman. His lameness and uneven teeth had never prevented him from chasing his wild dreams. He knew his every step was bound to be accompanied by father’s care. Love is the best nourishment of life; even if it is just one handful of clear water, it can make the tree of life thrive. 【解析】 【导语】本文以树木为线索展开，讲述了一个小男孩因为跛腿和牙齿不整齐很自卑，父亲让孩子们种树，并且承诺谁的树长得最好就给他买最喜欢的礼物。但是他看到兄弟姐妹们都跃跃欲试，他只给树木浇水一两次，就不再去管了，决定放弃。结果他的树长得很好，父亲给男孩买了礼物，他很好奇这颗树是如何能长起来的。结果有一天晚上他看到父亲在给他的树木浇水施肥，男孩很感动，几十年过去了，男孩长大了，也一直在追逐自己的梦想并且获得成功，这一切都离不开父亲的呵护的故事。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天晚上，小男孩躺在床上睡不着。”可知，第一段可描写小男孩搞清楚树木能长好的原因，被感动了。 ②由第二段首句内容“几十年过去了。”可知，第二段可描写小男孩在追逐自己的梦想的路途上成功了，这一切都要多亏了父亲的启发和呵护。 2.续写线索：睡不着——起身查看——明白真相——感动——几十年后成为了政治家——追逐梦想——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：find/spot/discover ②阻止：prevent/stop/hinder 情绪类 ①小心地：with great care/carefully/cautiously ②哭泣：tears running down/tears streaming down/bursting into tears 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with great care.（运用了由when引导的状语从句和省略that的宾语从句） [高分句型2] He returned to his room, tears running down without restraint.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$同学们请注意了，高一期中考试听力测试马上就要开始了。同学们请注意了，高一期中考试听力测试马上就要开始了。同学们请注意了，高一期中考试听力测试马上就要开始了。第一节请听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one guess who I met yesterday, zack. that really. yeah, we were both at the bookstore looking at t. xxx. books.
