B Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional American holiday. The first Thanksgiving Day was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of great hardship, the colonist (移民) wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a big feast ( 盛宴). Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks. But it wasnt a regular national holiday until President Lincoln declared that the last Thursday in November would be thereafter Thanksgiving Day in 1863. It is a day of family reunion ( 团圆) and it is customary (风俗的) to invite friends to share the meal. In some large cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day. For Americans, Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when the entire family gets together. Everyone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy exchange of greetings. The women soon disappear into the kitchen to help prepare the dinner. The men, meanwhile, settle down to watch a football game on television, or to discuss business or politics. If weather permits, some of the more athletic men go outside to play ball games with the children. Then everyone will sit down to dinner, in which traditional Thanksgiving foods such as stuffed turkey, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkin pies are served. After dinner, people will sit around and talk.60.Which of the following statements about Thanksgiving Day is NOT true?A.It falls on the same day in November every year.B.It is the most traditional American holiday.C.It is a regular national holiday now.D.It is a day of family reunion.高一英语试卷第4页（共6页）61.

The head of the research team,Christ Thomas,who is a professor of conservation biology at Leeds University,said the results of their research were frightening. More than 10%of all plants and animals will become extinct.It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere.But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now,we could save many more plants and animals from extinction.The scientists studied some areas of the world with a very rich biology. These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in greater danger of extinction.The scientists found many surprising things.For example,they found that half of the 24 species of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon become extinct.64.

Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished.72 A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. 73 The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.74 The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space.
