to thanksgiving, turkey may be the first thing that comes to mind. its the right picture , but its not complete.americans celebrate thanksgiving with much enthusiasm and maintain many traditional customs. here we introduce a few of the rituals（仪式）americans typically follow on this day. thanksgiving day has been associated with communal prayers in church and in homes for centuries. attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on thanksgiving day. before thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank god for his kindness and the gifts he has given them in the form of friends and family.like chinas spring festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of thanksgiving . distances dont really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away. undoubtedly, turkey is the main course of thanksgiving dinner. at the meal, many families observe the ritual of taking turns to express what each member is thankful for.while feasts make thanksgiving a festival for individual families, parades(游行)make it a carnival（狂欢节）for the whole nation. various parades are held in many cities to honor thanksgiving. one of the largest is new yorks thanksgiving day parade. started in 1924, more than 2 million people attend the parade every year.after-dinner rituals are just as important as the meal itself, and no after-dinner ritual is more important than the football game. the usnational football league has played a special game on thanksgiving every year since its creation in 1920.its referred to as the thanksgiving classic.while chinese citizens enjoy an online shopping spree on nov11,americans flood to physical stores just after thanksgiving. many employers give their employees the day off as part of the thanksgiving holiday weekend , so shop keepers seize the opportunity to offer discounts and put items on sale. hundreds of thousands of people take advantage of the opportunity to hunt for bargains.41. what might be the authors purpose in writing the text?a. to introduce some americans thanksgiving customs.b.

from southern california has become the youngest person in recorded history to reach the summit of argentinas aconcagua mountain , which at 22,841 feet is the tallest peak in the western and southern hemispheres.tyler armstrong reached the summit on christmas eve with his father kevin and a tibetan sherpa, lhawang dhondup , who has climbed mt. everest many times. they were in fine spirits friday as they loft aconcagua. its steep precipices (崖)and bitter cold have claimed more than 100 climberslives.“you can really see the worlds atmosphere up there. all the clouds are under you,and its really cold.” tyler said , describing the summit to the associated press. “it doesnt look anything like a kids drawing of a mountain. its probably as big as a house at the summit , and then its steep drop.”only 30 percent of the 7,000 people who obtain permits to climb aconcagua each year make the summit, said nicolas garcia, who handled their logistics（后勤）from down below. no one under 14 is usually allowed, so the family had to persuade an argentine judge that tyler could safely accomplish the climb.“any kid can really do this, all they have to do is try. and set their mind to the goal.”said tyler, who worked out twice a day for a year and a half to prepare for the climb. he also held fundraisers, not only to pay the cost but to raise money for cureduchenne, which funds muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩）research.“most people think we as parents are pushing tyler to do this, when its completely the opposite. i wouldnt climb it if i didnt have to, but my wife makes me do it to keep watch on him, ” his father said.tyler had already climbed the 19,341-foot mt, kilimanjaro in tanzania at the age of 8, and with aconcagua conquered , is determined to reach all “seven summits,” the highest mountains on each of the seven continents.46. what can be the best title for the text?a. us boy, 9, is the youngest to reach aconcagua summitb. us boy, reached aconcagua summit with his fatherc. us boy faces the greatest challenge in historyd. us boy is determined to conquer the highest mountains47. in paragraph 3 , tyler armstrong .a. describes the summitb. shows his pride on the summitc. recalls the hard timed. presents the beautiful scenery48. which of the following is true according to the text?a. kevin has climbed mt, everest several times.b. only 2000 people has reached the summit so far.c. tyler is not allowed to climb aconcagua by law.d. tyler did little to prepare for the climb.49. which of the following words best describes tyler?a. friendly and helpfulb. talented and enthusiasticc. energetic and patientd. determined and adventurous50. we can learn from the text that .a. tylers father forbade him to climb aconcaguab. tyler himself desired to climb aconcagua stronglyc. tylers mother didnt support tylers climbd. tyler has conquered10 seven summits in the worldcwould you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you ,where self-driving cars find the nearest parking space, and where even the rubbish bins know when theyre full?although it might sound like science-fiction , living in a smart city like this could happen sooner than you think.towns we have lived in for centuries are being upgraded, while completely new cities are being built.one such place is songdo in south korea . every home there will have a built-in telepresence system-allowing users to control the heating and locks; take part in video conferences; and receive education, healthcare and government services.around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them , and offices and schools will all be connected to the network.the digital mastermind(策划者) behind songdo is the company cisco. indeed, technology firms around the world such as ibm, siemens and microsoft are already selling software to solve a range of city problems, from water leaks and air pollution to traffic jams. for example, ibm is gathering traffic data in singapore which it uses to predict where traffic jams will occur-an hour before they happen.so what is all this smart technology for? many hope all this connectedness will make cities greener, more sustainable(可持续的),and more efficient.and with 75% of the worlds population predicted to live in cities by 2050, the transport system and emergency services will need to modernise to cope with all the new arrivals.but making cities smarter is only part of the solution , according to dan hill , chief executive (主管)of research firm fabrica. he said|：“we dont make cities to be efficient, we make cities for culture, commerce, communityall of which are very inefficient.”in the rush in order to make cities perform better, we could be missing their greatest asset (财富). “it is going to be smart citizens that make smart cities,” he said.51. which of the following is true of smart cities?a. they are unrealistic science fictions.b. they are already being builtc. they need to be upgraded at present.d. they are not suitable to live in.52. citizens of songdo will use their telepresence systems to do the following except .a. control heating systemb. attend teleconferencesc. recycle water efficientlyd. receive government services53. ibm has designed a software in singapore to .a. forecast weather condition b. solve air pollutionc. protect water resourcesd. predict traffic jams54. what will happen halfway through the 21st century?a.3/4 of the worlds population are expected to liveb. all the cities will be greener and more efficient.c. the present transport system remains to be well operated.d. emergency services will be completely modernised.55. which of the following does dan hill agree with?a. making cities smart is the only solution to city problemsb. culture , commerce , community are all efficientc. making cities smart will bring us no lossd. smart citizens make cities smart.dan estimated 80 percent of american adults think music lessons, though at times boring and challenging in the eyes of some kids, improve childrens ability to learn or their performance in school . they say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.researchers at harvard university , however, have found that theres one thing musical training does not do. samuel mehr, the leading researcher of the new study, said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a childs intellectual development. the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. one group attended music class; the comparison group went to a class that places importance on the optical arts-arts that can be seen.“we found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes,” said mehr.samuel mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in iq, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons.he does not believe that iq is a good measure of a childs intelligence. therefore, the researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons.music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life, but the training is still important.mr mehr notes that the works of writer william shakespeare are not taught , so the children will do better in physics. he says shakespeare is taught because it is important for cultural reasons.“and i dont think music needs to be any different than that.”56. what attitude do most american grown-ups have towards music lessons?a. uninterestedb. approvingc. doubtfuld. uncertain57. the underlined word“optical”in paragraph 2 probably means .a. visualb. colorfulc. traditionald. serious58. how did samuel mehr draw his conclusion in the new study?a. by studying previous research resultsb. by measuring the iq of the kids.c. by comparing two different groupsd. by referring to some documents59. according to samuel mehr,_ .a. many studies show that music training can improve iqb. iq is a good measure of a childs intelligencec. music can enable a child to go to a better schoold. music should be taught f
