Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 but thankful

【2】I knew he had nowhere to go.

【3】我甚至很长时候没有和任何人吃饭了.

【4】The writer’s family tradition.

【5】He expressed his thanks.

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要讲述的是作者的家的感恩节传统，就是邀请没有地方去的人一起过节。

【1】根据固定搭配not only…but also意为“不但……而且”，以及所给空后面的“also on other holidays”可知，第一个空应该填的是but，由第二个空前面的were可知，应该填的是形容词作表语，由后文的“I am thankful that I get to share a warm meal with you”“我很感激能和你一起吃一顿热饭”可知，应该是感激的，thankful意为“感激的，感谢的”，所以第二个空是thankful，故填(1).but (2).thankful。

【2】根据所给句子I knew he didn’t have anywhere to go意为“我知道他无处可去”，与第三段中的“I knew he had nowhere to go”“我知道他没地方去”和所给句子意思相近，故填I knew he had nowhere to go.

【3】even意为“甚至”，eat a meal with sb意为“和某人吃饭”；anyone意为“任何人”；in a long time意为“很长时间”，故填我甚至很长时候没有和任何人吃饭了。

【4】主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容以及第二段中的“Later, I remembered my family’s tradition and we still keep it even today”“后来，我想起了我们家的传统，即使是今天，我们仍然保持着它”可知，第二段主要讲的是作者的家的传统，故填The writer’s family tradition.

【5】根据文章第三段中的“When he left, he told me, “I haven’t felt this good in many years. Thank you for your kindness”“当他离开时，他告诉我，“我已经很多年没有这么好的感觉了。谢谢你的好意”可知，当他邻居离开时，对作者表达了他的感谢，故填He expressed his thanks.
