一、阅读理解(2024开封一模)
As a child, I spent each Thanksgiving with my large family at my grandparents house in Silver Spring, Maryland, US. Its a wooden cabin (小屋) on the side of a hill, deep in the forest, above a small, grassy field. For me, that cabin meant Thanksgiving.
Our first greeting was the excited barking of Grandmas dog, Jesse. He met us at our car and jumped up at us as we carried our bags into the house.
Inside were my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Aunt Sue touched my face and told me gently, “I cant believe how big you has gotten in just a few months.” Grandpa gave me a strong handshake and shouted, “What do you say, Cal?!”, which is old mans English for “Hello, Calvin!”
The next day, by the time I woke up, Grandma and Mom had already begun cooking. Throughout the day we all helped out. The cabin was small, so we had to creatively move the furniture (家具) to make room for everyone to sit at the long table together.
Dinner was finally served at about 4 oclock in the afternoon. Before we started the meal, Grandma asked each person to say at least one thing that he or she was thankful for. I said, “Im thankful for my parents, my grandma and the turkey!” I was too hungry to think of anything better. Once everyone finished speaking, we dug in. It was all delicious food. Even better were the homemade apple and pumpkin pies.
After dinner, we took a long walk through the woods around the cabin. Under the late⁃autumn stars, we made a campfire in the field and told stories. I looked back up the hill at the cabin in the moonlight, and one word appeared in my mind:“Thanks”!
