whos going to have green beans? whos going to have sweet potato pie? obama has shown a knack(窍门) for symbolism, in this case following the thanksgiving tradition of helping the poor, said david greenberg, a rutgers university historian who is working on a history of political spin. here hes showing a different side of himself, the president as national conscience or moral authority. i think thats probably a good note for him to introduce in a transition period thats been so heavily focused on wall street and the financial system and these economic problems, he said. hes not forgetting who these economic problems are hurting the most. for bush, his final thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. he always reflects a bit at thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared（放飞）the thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin, on wednesday. he gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the american people. then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters two thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago and that his mother, former first lady barbara bush, was doing well after being hospitalized. most of all, he said, i thank the american people for the tremendous privilege of serving as the president. this thanksgiving, obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, sasha, 7, and malia, 10 and a chance for a little lesson for the kids. i want them to learn the importance of how fortunate they are and to make sure theyre giving back, he said of bringing the girls to the church. and whats he thankful for? i just want you to know what im thankful for is my family and my friends and my community, he told the schoolchildren. thats the most important thing. 1. the best title of the passage should be _a. thanksgiving for bush and obama b. thanksgiving dayc. how to celebrate thanksgiving day d. thanksgiving day for presidents答案解析：答案为a。本题考查文章的标题。全文报道了即将卸任的总统bush和新选举的总统obama各自在感恩节做的事情。故答案为a。2. the underlined word “squeeze” in paragraph 2 is closest to _a. force b. push c. join d. take答案解析：答案为c。本题为词义猜测题。结合下文的第三段 “on a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. the other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.”可知，“one man”指的是第一段提到的president george bush，他和家人一起要去遥远的山顶；“the other”指的是第二段提到的president-elect barack obama，他在繁忙的城市中，周围都是人。可以推断，第二段写的是新选举的总统obama加入了圣诞节的购物潮中，因此squeeze意思最接近 “join”，故答案为c。3. which of the following is not right according to the passge?a. bush is thought highly of by the people in the article.b. bushs daughters are 27 years old now.c. obama visited some of the people who needed help.d. bush gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the american people.答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节题。由第三段 “on a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family.”可知，“one man”在历史上不受欢迎，结合上题的分析，“one man”指的是bush，因此a选项“文中人们对bush评价很高”错误，故答案为a。 第九段写的是bush, 由文中 “he gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the american people. then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters two thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago”可知，b、d选项符合文意。由第四段 “dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on wednesday, obama handed out food to the needy at a chicago church”可知，c选项符合文意。 4. the passage suggests that _a its a tradition for a us president to spare a turkey on thanksgiving day.b on thanksgiving day, obama mainly has a get-together with his family and friends.c obama asked his two daughters to make contribution to the us economy.d bush thinks it a honour and also a pity to be the us president.答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节推理题，解答此题可用排除法。由第十一段 “this thanksgiving, obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, sasha, 7, and malia, 10 and a chance for a little lesson for the kids.”可知，obama利用这个机会和妻子孩子团聚，没有和朋友一起，故b选项错误。c、d选项未提。因此只有选择a选项“对于美国总统来说感恩节放飞火鸡是一种传统”，文中第八段提到 “for bush, his final thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. he always reflects a bit at thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared the thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin, on wednesday.” 由此可知，a选项是正确的。【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（9）】读写任务（共1小题，满分25分） 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。electronic books, more commonly known as e-books, are books that are in digital form. they are much like your traditional books that are made of paper -just more advanced and without the heavy weight. because of their extreme efficiency, many now say that they may replace traditional books in the long run, however, in order to deter-mine this for sure, it would be better to investigate further, while i was on vacation for three weeks, i thought i would catch up on some reading. instead of going to my local wh smith to buy some books, i downloaded the kindle app onto my tablet, and bought a couple of e-books to read. here are some advantages of e-books over printed books: 1. they can use multimedia. 2. free shipping cost. 3. searchable. 4. easy to update. 5. weigh less. 6. portable and take less space. 7. cost less for the publisher. 8. copyright. 9. readable. with the rising number of e-book users all over the world, and with more and more excellent e-book readers springing up in the market it cannot be denied that this new innovation will become even more popular as the days go by. as to whether they will actually replace traditional printed books - only time will tell - but one thing is certain; they do make your life easier.写作内容1以约30个词概括本文内容：2以约120个词就“电子书能否取代传统纸质书”这一话题发表自己的看法，并包括如下要点： (1)阐述电子书的优势； (2)说明纸质书的优势； (3)你的观点及理由。写作要求1作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；2作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。评分标准 概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。【参考范文】读写任务 (one possible version)the author thinks that e-books are better than traditional ones, but only time will tell whether e-books will actually take the place of traditional printed books.e-books have many advantages. they can offer people immediate access and allow them to carry as many books as they want with no extra weight. they cost less money because they dont need to take up so many resources, which is rather environmentally friendly.however, still many people prefer traditional books for their unique functions, such as being kept as a collection or sent as a gift. therefore, those who love reading might be willing to keep a
