safe journey across the atlantic.the first new england thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. the pilgrims landed at what is now plymouth, massachusetts, in 1620. they had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. many of the pilgrims died. but the next year, they had a good harvest. so governor bradford declared a threeday feast(盛宴). the pilgrims invited indian friends to join them for their special feast. everyone brought food.as time went by, other colonies(殖民地) began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. but it took years before there was a national thanksgiving day. during the civil war, sarah josepha hale persuaded abraham lincoln to do something about it. in 1863, he proclaimed(宣布) the last thursday of november as a day of thanksgiving. today, americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth thursday in november. canadians celebrate thanksgiving day in much the same way as their american neighbors. but the canadian thanksgiving day falls on the second monday in october.thanksgiving day is observed by church services and family reunions; the turkey dinner is a reminder of the four wild turkeys served at the pilgrims first thanksgiving feast. there

根据前面信息可知此时是狂欢节，而且下文也提到人们在举行晚会来庆祝。故选c项。17.a表示在某方面，应该用in。这里指不同颜色的衣服。18.b根据前面的信息很容易判断出此处表示因果关系，故用therefore。19.a根据后面的at可知此处应选arrived。20.b“wear”一词除了表示“穿戴”状态外，还可以表示“佩戴首饰”。21.d根据from the manager可知此处表示“得知”，故选d项。22.cpay“支付”与spend“花费”通常用人来作主语；而take“需要”意义不符，只有cost“价钱为；需花费”用物作主语，所以答案选c项。23.a他们兄妹为晚会做好了充分的准备，所以选a项，此处表示状态，而不是动作。24.b根据下文have dinner可知应该是在餐馆里。25.d由下文可知迪安娜丢了钻石，她发现后肯定会screaming“尖叫”。26.cgone“丢失的；不见的”；而lost强调“遗失；迷路”。此处表示钻石被偷，应该是不见了，所以选c项。27.a根据25空可知此处表示大声喊叫，应用cry一词，再根据and不难看出此处缺少并列谓语动词。所以a项为正确答案。28.b迪安娜丢失了钻石，这个黑衣盗贼肯定是带着钻石逃跑。29.a文章第2个空已经告诉我们来参加晚会的人们穿着不同颜色的衣服，所以应用colorful一词表示“五彩缤纷的”。30.b因为街上满是狂欢的人们，所以追赶小偷就很难了。31.d小偷怕被抓，肯定疯狂逃跑，文章并没有交代小偷开车或骑车。32.c前文交代小偷在跑的过程中摔倒，这兄妹两人赶快坐到小偷身上把他抓住。33.c警察抓住小偷后会把他送往监狱。故c项为正确选项。34.a凯莉和史蒂夫帮助迪安娜找回了丢失的钻石，她肯定会表示感谢。35.b根据句意：这是他们过得最好的狂欢节，根据最高级可以知道，此处表示“曾经”之意，故用ever。第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。it was mothers day morning last year. my fiveyearold son, tenyson, and i 36._ (leave)the supermarket after shopping, when an old woman fell over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground. her husband was with her, but the woman was 37._ (serious) hurt and shaking with pain.at the front of the supermarket a charity (慈善) group was selling flowers to raise funds. tenyson suggested that we 38._ ( buy) the lady a flower. “it will make 39._ feel better，” he said. i was amazed that hed come up 40._ such a sweet idea. so we went to the flower seller to buy a flower for the lady.by now rescuers had arrived, and were attending the 41._ (injure)woman. as we walked up to her, my son became frightened by all the blood and medical 42._(equip). he said he was just too scared to go up to her. instead i gave the flower to the womans husband 43._ told him, “ my son was very upset for your wife and bought her this flower to cheer her up.”at that, the old man was moved and said, “thank you so much, you have a good son. happy mothers day to you.”the man then gave his wife the flower, 44._ (tell) her who it was from. 45._ badly hurt, the old lady looked up at tenyson with thanks in her eyes and gave him a little smile.答案与解析：语篇解读作者带儿子去购物，在超市门口看见一位摔倒了的老妇人。善良的儿子为老妇人买了一朵花使她高兴起来。作者旨在借本文向我们传递人与人之间互相关心的正能量。36.were leaving根据语境可知作者和孩子正要离开超市时，一个老妇人摔倒在地碰破了头。leave为过去某时间内正发生的动作，应用过去进行时。37.seriously空格后是动词hurt，应用副词修饰；故填形容词serious的副词形式seriously。38.(should) buysuggest 作“建议”讲时后接宾语从句谓语用should do形式，should可以省略。39. her 空格处缺少宾语，应填代词。结合语境可知该句表儿子建议买朵花送给老妇人让她心情好点。故该空填宾格代词her代指 the old woman。40. withcome up with “想出”。41.injured分析句子成分可知所给词在句中作定语修饰名词woman，又injure 与其逻辑主语woman
