Thanksgiving Day is one of the most important family holiday in America. All the members of a family, no matter where far away they are, will try to get together on that day. The first Thanksgiving in America takes place in October, 1621. In 1620, the group of Englishmen sailed to Massachusetts. They had expected to find a freely place to live in, so they experienced a hard winter. Half of them starved death. The next spring, we began farming. With the help of local Indians, they learned to be plant corn and raise animals. In the autumn, the fields produced a good harvest. Filling with joy and thanks to God, they held a celebration. In 1863, it became a national holiday.

【答案】

【1】holiday-holidays

【2】where-how

【3】takes-took

【4】the group of a group of

【5】 freely-free

【6】so-but

【7】starved 后加to

【8】 we-they

【9】去掉be

【10】 Filling-Filled

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于记叙文,介绍了感恩节的由来。在17世纪,一群英国人来到了美国,在获得丰收以后,为了表示对上帝的感激之情,他们创办了感恩节。

【1】holiday-holidays 考查名词单复数。在one of+复数可数名词结构中,要使用可数名词的复数形式,表示....之一。故本句使用holidays。

【2】where-how 考查疑问副词。疑问副词where的后面不能接far away,而how后可接短语far away。句意:无论家庭成员相距多远,在感恩节这一天他们都要聚在一起。

【3】takes-took 考查时态。本句的时间状语是in October, 1621,这是一个一般过去时的时间状语,谓语动词应该使用过去式took与之保持一致。

【4】the group of a group of 考查冠词。定冠词the 通常表示特指,不定冠词a通常表示泛指。本句介绍的是在1620年,一群英国人航海去了马萨诸塞州。并没有特指某一群人,所以使用不定冠词a。

【5】freely-free 考查形容词。在英语中通常使用形容词做定语修饰名词,副词通常做状语修饰动词。本句中使用形容词free做定语修饰名词place。

【6】so-but 考查连词。句意:他们原来期待找到一个自由的地方居住,但他们经历了一个艰难的冬天。上下文之间为转折关系,所以使用but表示转折关系。

【7】starved 后加to 考查固定短语。短语starve to death饿死;其中的介词to是不能省略的。

【8】we-they 考查上下文串联。根据上文中"a group of Englishmen"可知一群英国人来到了美国,使用代词they指代"a group of Englishmen"。

【9】去掉be 考查不定式。动词不定式的结构为to+动词原形,本句中已经有了动词plant,所以系动词be是多余的。

【10】Filling-Filled 考查形容词短语。短语be filled with充满....;该短语在句中对主语they进行说明。

【题目】Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps(残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ‘Ape Man’ (猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.

Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.

Hank felt himself got cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs(假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be—a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.

Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.

When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.

Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money. 【1】 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

1. The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 2 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.

2. Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, You have enough toy trucks for now. Or, if the request is for many different things, say, You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.

3. 4

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 5 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

A. Wise decisions.

B. The value of money.

C. Permit the child to choose between them.

D. Tell your child why he can or cannot have certain things.

E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you

F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.

G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

【题目】根据短文内容,从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。

A. Be well-organised.

B. Close with a Q & A.

C. Don’t be contradictory.

D. Bring it to a specific end.

E. Speak slowly and pause.

F. Drop unnecessary words

Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:

【1】 ______

When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.

2______

Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.

3______

Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任)on your listeners to make up for your lack of organisation. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganise, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organise.

4______

Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.

5______

Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.” Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time.
