Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short and give thanks for their food.
We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers (先驱者) arrived in America in the 17th century. While they were the Atlantic (大西洋), many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was than any English winter. The local people taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The next year they celebrated together by a dinner of the new food.

Answer 1

【答案】fourth；speeches；crossing；worse；eating；traditional；prepare；funny；presents；ourselves
【解析】这篇短文讲的是关于美国感恩节的事情，文中详细介绍了感恩节的来源及庆祝方式等情况。
（1）句意：感恩节是在11月的第四个星期四被庆祝的。the 后面要加序数词，所以此空应用four的序数词fourth。
（2）句意：感恩节人们做简短的演讲并感谢他们的食物。make short speeches做简短的演讲，此空应用speak的名词speeches。
（3）句意：在他们横穿大西洋的时候很多人死了。while引导的时间状语从句要用延续性功放歌词，且be 加动词ing形式，所以此空应填across的ing形式crossing。
（4）根据下文The local people taught the pioneers how to grow corn.当地的人们教先驱者怎样中玉米，得知他们的第一个冬天比英国的任何冬天都糟糕。句中than告诉我们此空应用比较级，所以应填bad的比较级worse。
（5）通过句意第二年他们通过一起吃新食物的一顿饭来庆祝。得知此空应填eat，又因为by是介词，介词后面要用动名词，所以此空填eating。
（6）根据下文The main dish of this dinner is almost always turkey. 正餐里主要的食物还是火鸡，所以我们仍然能用传统的饭来庆祝感恩节。所以此空应填traditional。
（7）句意：我们都要帮助准备食物。根据上文我们要准备大餐庆祝感恩节，可知此处应该是我们要准备食物，to后接动词原形，故填prepare。
（8）通过下文得知在节日期间有很多有趣的可以看或做的事情。所以此空应填fun的形容词funny。
（9）句意：我们开始购物买礼物。所以此空应填礼物present，present是可数名词，所以此空填presents。
（10）固定搭配enjoy oneself玩得开心，主语是we，所以此空应填反身代词ourselves。
