Ⅲ.阅读理解
Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessings.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4,1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a threeday feast (盛宴).The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
In time, other colonies (殖民地) began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed (宣布) the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.
Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

Ⅳ.七选五
You can choose to think positively and see the good things around you,or you can choose to think negatively and only see the negative things around you.It's all up to you. 1 Look at what optimists do differently.
Believe in themselves.
While others doubt their own abilities,optimists believe they are good enough just the way they are and constantly try to get better. They trust their own intuition(直觉)and abilities when carrying out their daytoday activities. 2 They don't need everyone's approval.
Believe in others.
Optimists not only believe in themselves,but also in other people in their lives. 3 They know that when you treat a person as he or she is,that person will remain so.But if you treat a person as he or she ought to be,that person will become what he or she ought to be.Optimists simply see sparks of good in others and work to turn the sparks into a roaring flame.
4
Optimists believe in seizing what life throws at them.They are not blind to the risks and dangers involved in taking chances,but rather look at the bigger picture,the resources available and then make every opportunity count for a much brighter future full of possibilities.
Forgive.
Optimists know better than to underestimate the power of forgiveness.Martin Luther King Jr.recognized the past was the past and forgiveness was the path to a better future for everyone. 5 Optimists know tomorrow is another day and another opportunity to correct what needs correcting and create a brighter reality.
A.So he fought hate with love.
B.They do what feels right in their hearts.
C.Take full advantage of all opportunities.
D.Be cautious about risks and dangers in life.
E.They inspire others to be the best they can be.
F.It is advisable,however,that you think more positively.
G.Thus he devoted his life to the struggle for racial equality.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。积极的想法和消极的想法都取决于个人,然而,本文作者还是建议人们积极看待生活,并说明了乐观者是怎么做的。
1.F [空前提到“think positively and see the good things around you”或者“think negatively and only see the negative things around you”都取决于你自己,空后提到“Look at what optimists do differently,”因此F项“然而,你以更积极的方式去思考是明智的”填在本空能起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。]
2.B [本段的小标题是“(乐观者)相信他们自己”,再根据空前的“They trust their own intuition(直觉)and abilities”可知,B项“他们做他们内心觉得正确的事情”符合语境。]
3.E [本段主要讲的是乐观者还信任别人。根据本段最后一句“Optimists simply see sparks of good in others and work to turn the sparks into a roaring flame.”可知,空处应该说的是“他们激励别人尽力做到最好”,故E项符合语境。]
4.C [根据本段中的关键字眼“chances”“opportunity”并结合“make every opportunity count”可知,本段主要讲的是“充分利用所有的机会”。]
5.A [根据空前的“Martin Luther King Jr. recognized the past was the past and forgiveness was the path to a better future for everyone.”可把目光集中在A项和G项上,因为这两项中的he指的就是Martin Luther King Jr.。再根据本段的小标题Forgive 可知,A项“因此他用爱来化解仇恨”符合语境。G项表述的内容跟上下文联系不起来,故可排除。]

“God, give us thankful hearts for these and for all our many blessings.” That was the 1 my father, an East Texas farmer, said over every meal.
Pa passed away long ago,but I try to 2 his example every day. The year we spent Thanksgiving at our home on Lake Tawakoni was such a 3 . I was preparing a dinner party for the day. I opened the oven, put in our huge 4 and tried to turn on the old oven. It took just a few minutes for me to 5 that the heating had failed. I only had a few hours before family members and special friends were going to arrive with side dishes, so I called my neighbor Lois and explained my problem.
Lois just 6 and said, “Honey, you bring that turkey to my house. We'll have it cooked in no time.”
With a sigh of relief, I put the roasting pan into the car and 7 across the road. Lois babysat the big bird while I returned to the lake house and 8 a festive table. While the turkey was cooked in her oven, I gave special 9 to kind neighbors. Our family arrived. We 10 before our meal, stood in a 11 and prayed. Some people mentioned things for which they were particularly thankful and others stood in 12 silence. The tissue box made its way around the circle as some of us began to 13 —a sign of joy rather than sorrow.
When the last of the food was 14 off the table, I took a deep breath. A Thanksgiving prayer is easy for me when things are going well, but sometimes it 15 extra courage to give thanks when I am sad or when something unforeseen ruins my plans—even a broken oven.
Then I stopped to reflect on Pa and the many times I heard him say, “God, give us thankful hearts for these and for all our many blessings.” I want that to be my prayer, too.
