Legend has it that the first English colonists (殖民者) in Massachusetts (马萨诸塞州) started the custom. According to the story, the Pilgrims~ first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow many crops, and without fresh food, half of the colonists died from disease. The following spring the Indians taught them how to grow corn. In the autumn of 1621, bountiful crops of corn, beans and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists had much to be thankful for, so a feast was planned. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a large feast to share in the bounties (慷慨) of the land. This is the first Thanksgiving.
The traditional foods of the big Thanksgiving Day meal include roast turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and Indian bread puddings.
Since the day is set aside for giving thanks, it has also become a traditional family day. Large dinners with many relatives are common throughout America on this special day.
When was the Thanksgiving Day tradition begun？
A．In the 17(上标)th century.
B．On Thursday.
C．Last November.
D．In the 16(上标)th eentury.

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources (资源). Many of the world&39;s great cities are located(坐落) on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river running through it that plays an important role in the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of the history, people have used rivers for transportation(运输). The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Gangs is great, but it is also important for transportation; Ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation (航海), however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops(庄稼), and chances for fun and entertainment for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase(增加) the supply of crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝) across a river and let a lake from behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.
However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals(化学物质) and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits (利益) of this natural resource.
The greatest river for navigation is ___________.
A.the Amazon
B.the Nile
C.the Mekong
D.the Mississippi
From a dam, people can use the water for ___________.A.keeping the rivers clean
B.only making electricity
C.washing clothes
D.irrigation and making electricity
The water in the river is polluted because of _____________.A.people's drinking water too much
B.people's swimming in the river too much
C.chemicals and other materials
D.people's building a dam across a river
The best title of the passage is ___________.A.Rivers in Cities
B.The importance of Rivers
C.Transportation
D.Natural Resources

Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo (竹) and many semi-tropical (亚热带的) plants grow well in the southwest of England．Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. (77) In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England's most popular holiday areas.
The distance from the center of England to the south coast is about ________.
A．one hundred miles
B．three hundred miles
C．one hundred and fifty miles
D．six hundred miles
A．it grows
B．that grows
C．does it grows
D．what does it grow
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.
Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are______.
A．distorted
B．normal
C．similar to each other
D．different from its own

When the aesthetic (美学的) experience has ended, we often feel uplifted and refreshed. Our eyes and ears, our insight into other persons, or our understanding of moral values may be sharpened and refined. We may feel more at home with ourselves. Works of art have value for use in all these.
It is this value that marks the difference between great art and simple entertainment. A work that is fairly easy to understand and appreciate takes little effort on our part. It may give us pleasure. But it does not involve our emotions or our attention at a deep level. It may take our minds off our troubles for a time, but it does not give us the spiritually enriching experience of vital and orderly design.
To enjoy the value of works of art, we must be ready to give a great deal to them. The greatest works of music and poetry often present difficulties. We cannot expect to master them all at once, and we cannot always find what is worthy in them at a glance. It is possible to get some satisfaction out of music while reading a newspaper or peeling (削皮) potatoes. But we must listen with full attention before we can find the riches in great works of music.
Which of the following is nearest in meaning to "We are completely wrapped up in it" (Paragraph One)？
A．We are totally absorbed by such fine piece of art.
B．We feel that the music seems to be around us.
C．Something wraps us when we are appreciating such a fine piece of art.
D．Such a fine piece of art makes us feel very excited.
The water is brought from the waterworks to each street by a large underground pipe—a water main. The water in this pipe is then forced by pressure into the smaller pipes which carry it to storage tanks at the tops of the buildings. Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.
When the water has been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipe. These take the waste water to another large pipe under the road—the main sewer. The waste water then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This "clean" water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some countries, sent back to the waterworks to be used again.
Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable. This cable may be underground or, in country districts, it may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. This meter measures the amount of electricity that is used in the building. Near the meter there is a master switch which can cut off the supply of electricity. There are also fuse boxes between the master switch and the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building. All these wires, fuses and switches are the "wiring circuit".
It can be inferred from this passage that______.
A．water and electricity are the only main services in our homes
B．the pipes bringing water to our homes are unimportant
C．water is less significant than electricity in our homes
D．we are unaware of how water or electricity is brought to our homes
