Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts(清教徒前辈移民), 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 three-day feast(盛宴). The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
In time, 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. He proclaimed(宣布)the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.
4. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated ________.
A. in spring B. in summer C. in autumn D. in winter
5. One of the first thanksgiving celebrated in America was by ________.
A. the American Indians B. some people from England
C. Sarah Josepha Hale D. Governor Bradford

Due to climate changes, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.
Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking (减少) ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.
In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast (绝食) during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped by 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.
8. What is Arctic ice doing earlier each year
A. It's freezing. B. It's hardening.
C. It's melting. D. It's expanding.
9. What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska
A. Their young are dying. B. Their diet is changing.
C. Their health is improving. D. Their families are growing.
10. What does the writer imply about female polar bears in Hudson Bay
A. They are having fewer young now. B. They suffer from various sicknesses.
C. They don't need stronger protection. D. They can't find enough good males.
11. In which publication would you most likely find this passage
A. Medical News. B. Society Today.
C. Wildlife Journal D. Design Magazine.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了气候变化对于北极熊的生存及繁殖带来的不利影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Due to climate changes, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring”可知，由于气候变化，北极的冰在春天的早些时候融化。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. （远离阿拉斯加的北极熊通常在漂浮在海洋上的冰原上捕食和养育它们的幼仔。但随着冰的融化，北极熊不得不在陆地上待更长的时间。在那里，它们开始频繁地出现在海滩上，以当地猎人捕捉到的鲸鱼残骸为食。）”可知，北极熊正常情况下吃在冰面上可以捕捉到的海豹，但现在由于冰的减少，它们只能以当地猎人捕捉的鲸的残余物为食了。所以北极熊的饮食发生了改变。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped by 15 percent. （在过去的25年里，母熊的平均体重下降了68公斤。这种损失影响了它们的繁殖能力，生育数量已经下降了15%。）”可知，因为北极熊的出生率已经下降了15%，所以作者提到雌性北极熊是想告诉我们，雌性北极熊现在生育的孩子越来越少。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全篇，并结合第一段“ This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.（这给居住在阿拉斯加北部和哈德逊湾的北极熊带来了麻烦。）”可以发现文章叙述的是全球气候的变化给北极熊带来的负面影响,而北极熊属于野生动物,所以推断这篇文章最有可能摘自《野生动物杂志》。故选C。
D
A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding.
The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield.
According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone（激素）makes the SNORKEL genes stat working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.
Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, aid his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asia to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the food-resistant gene is low in production--about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice.
"Scientifically the gene that we found is are but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment, " he said. "It's a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding. "
High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks.
Rice is a main food for billions. and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deep water field.
Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of foods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice, "he said.
12. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes
A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases.
B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions.
C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water.
D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time.
13. According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found _______________.
A. will be one third more expensive than regular rice
B. will be helpful for Southeast Asia
C. has been widely used in Southeast Asia
D. is lower in production than regular rice
14. The underlined word "projected" in the seventh paragraph probably means ___________.
A. confused B. outdated C. unexpected D. planned
15. What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that____________.
A. rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future
B. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future
C. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays
D. the quality of rice is difficult to improve
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍一组日本科学家发现了能使水稻在高水位下生存的基因，为受洪水影响的低地地区更好地生产水稻提供了希望。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels（这种基因被称为“浮潜基因”，它帮助水稻长出更长的茎来应对更高的水位）”可知，SNORKEL基因的特点是让水稻长得足够高可以在深水中幸存。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asian to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the flood-resistant gene is low in production（负责该项目Motoyuki Ashikari说，他的研究小组希望在东南亚广泛使用的长粒水稻上使用这种基因，以帮助稳定具有抗洪基因的水稻产量较低的洪水地区的生产）”可知，Ashikari认为他们团队发现的有基因的水稻将对东南亚有帮助。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第七段“yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050（但到2050年产量必须翻一番才能满足预期的需求）”可知，“projected”指的是“预期的，预计的”。与D 选项意思一致，A．confused困惑；B．outdated过时的；C．unexpected想不到的；D．planned计划。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice（将这些基因引入高产品种，采用先进的育种策略，有望提高水稻的品质和数量）”可知，Laurentius在最后一段说的话表明在今后，水稻的数量会大大提高，也就是水稻在以后会到处种植。故选A。

Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts(清教徒前辈移民), 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 three-day feast(盛宴). The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
In time, 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. He proclaimed(宣布)the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.
4. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated ________.
A. in spring B. in summer C. in autumn D. in winter
5. One of the first thanksgiving celebrated in America was by ________.
A. the American Indians B. some people from England
C. Sarah Josepha Hale D. Governor Bradford
6. We can infer from the passage that New England must be________.
A. in the US B. in Great Britain C. in Canada D. in Germany
7. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the USA
B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated
C. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holiday
D. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places
C
Due to climate changes, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.
Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking (减少) ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.
In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast (绝食) during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped by 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.
8. What is Arctic ice doing earlier each year
A. It's freezing. B. It's hardening.
C. It's melting. D. It's expanding.
9. What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska
A. Their young are dying. B. Their diet is changing.
C. Their health is improving. D. Their families are growing.
10. What does the writer imply about female polar bears in Hudson Bay
A. They are having fewer young now. B. They suffer from various sicknesses.
C. They don't need stronger protection. D. They can't find enough good males.
11. In which publication would you most likely find this passage
A. Medical News. B. Society Today.
C. Wildlife Journal D. Design Magazine.

A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding.
The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield.
According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone（激素）makes the SNORKEL genes stat working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.
Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, aid his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asia to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the food-resistant gene is low in production--about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice.
"Scientifically the gene that we found is are but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment, " he said. "It's a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding. "
High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks.
Rice is a main food for billions. and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deep water field.
Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of foods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice, "he said.
12. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes
A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases.
B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions.
C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water.
D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time.
13. According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found _______________.
A. will be one third more expensive than regular rice
B. will be helpful for Southeast Asia
C. has been widely used in Southeast Asia
D. is lower in production than regular rice
14. The underlined word "projected" in the seventh paragraph probably means ___________.
A. confused B. outdated C. unexpected D. planned
15. What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that____________.
A rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future
B. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future
C. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays
D. the quality of rice is difficult to improve

Many people think that English writing is difficult. ____16____ Here are some great writing tips that will help you improve your writing in a short time.
Don’t ramble(长篇大论). This is a very common mistake made by people who have poor writing skills. When they ramble, they are not paying attention to grammar. As a result, their sentences become very long. ____17____ If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.
____18____ Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is correct before moving on. It’s better to write a short passage that is easy to read and mistake-free than to write a long article that is filled with grammar mistakes.
Increase your vocabulary. If you don’t have a large vocabulary, you will find it difficult to write as you can’t find right words to express yourself clearly.
