[河北武邑中学2020高二月考]The US Thanksgiving holiday is symbolised（象征）by its traditional food-roast turkey. But the turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact，its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. The word “turkey" has meant “the land of the Turks” since ancient times. In the mid-1500s，the word “turkey” was first used to refer to the bird in the English language.
The misunderstanding about the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds.
There is an African bird called the guinea fowl（珍珠鸡）.It has dark feathers with white spots and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So，the English thought of the bird as a “Turkish chicken".
When Europeans came to North America，they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent. But they thought that it was the guinea fowl，which，at that time，was called the “turkey cock"，so they gave it the same name.
Hundreds of years later，we continue to call this North American bird “turkey”，even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey，or even with Europe.
But English is not the only language with interesting names for this North American bird.
The Turkish people call turkey “hindi"，the Turkish name for India. The reference（提及）to India probably comes from the old，wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia.
The French call it “dinde"，a name that also connects the bird with India.“Dinde” means “from India” in the French language. “Turkey” has similar names in several other languages.
1.What can we know from Paragraph 1？
A. The word “turkey" appeared in modern times.
B. Turkey's English name is based on a correct identity.
C. Americans like eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
D. Both Turkey and "turkey" have similar meanings in English.
2. Where did the guinea fowl come from
A. Europe.
B. Africa.
C. America.
D. Asia.
3. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to
A. Eastern Asia.
B. The French language.
C. The New World.
D. The bird turkey.
4. What would be the best title for the passage
A. How Did Thanksgiving "Turkey" Get Its Name
B. How Did Americans Spend Their Thanksgiving Holiday
C. Why Were Guinea Fowls So Popular With Americans
D. Why Were Guinea Fowls Different From American Turkeys

The Best Way to Lose Weight-Dieting Tips
How do you eat right to lose weight fast？You'll discover there are a great number of weight loss diets which promise to help you drop the pounds fast. 1
Many weight loss diets are aimed at losing weight fast，but aren't necessarily healthy and won't create a long-term change for the better. 2 That means you'll choose a diet which doesn't cut out any necessary nutrients（营养物）.Most diets suggest that you stop eating fat or carbohydrates（含碳水化合物的食物）. 3 You'll need to figure out your own body type before making a diet plan. You might also need to try different ways before finding the best way.
If you just need to shake a few pounds off，your plan won't be the same as one to lose weight in the long term. The best short-term weight loss plan will be stronger than the best long-term weight loss plan，but it shouldn't get rid of necessary nutritions. 4 Your body will go into “starvation mode” and your metabolism（新陈代谢）will slow down. As a result，your body will keep more weight.
5 Spread out your meals evenly throughout the day. Any larger meal should be eaten earlier in the day. That gives your body more time and opportunity to burn calories. If you eat a lot before bed，those calories won't burn but become fat.
A. But do they really work？
B. Once you start your plan，you shouldn't stop.
C. In fact many people feel it hard to lose weight.
D. The best way to lose weight should be useful in the long term.
E. While this may help some people，there is no plan that is perfect for all.
F. If you try to make yourself feel hungry，you won't achieve long-term results.
G. Besides improving your metabolism, you should also pay attention to when you eat.
