Ⅰ.阅读理解
Growing up in Georgia, Thanksgiving for me meant driving a couple hours south to my mom's house in Augusta on Wednesday night and staying up late playing.First thing the next morning, at around 4 or 5 a．m., my mom would put the bird in the oven and roast it low and slow for eight hours, applying oil to it every 30 minutes and watching it like hawks.For this practice, for years I thought turkey was the absolute hardest thing to cook in the world.
I also thought that turkey was, on principle, meant to be dry.The thing is, roasting a great, juicy turkey isn't as complicated(复杂的) as people make it out to be.For me, I've found that the best method is to just roast it like a chicken.No black magic.
Defrost your turkey (if it's frozen)．Ideally you'd let this happen gradually in a 40°F refrigerator.Bring your turkey to room temperature.A fridge-cold bird will not cook as evenly as a room-temperature bird.Truss(捆紧) your turkey, which will ensure even cooking.Season your turkey in the sink.This is very important.Most people season their turkeys straight in its roasting pan, leading to extra salt at the bottom.Another issue is that if you're applying melted(融化的) butter and some of that drips off into the pan, the milk fats can burn, and the one thing we don't want on Thanksgiving Day is for the smoke alarm to go off.Roast your turkey.Many recipes(食谱) call for a high start and a low finish.But I like to roast my turkey from start to finish at a moderate 350°F.Rest your turkey.Do not carve the bird until it's rested for at least 30 minutes.Don't worry, it'll still be hot—better yet, the juices will have spread all over and you'll be looking at the tenderest, juiciest turkey of your life.
语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。叙述了如何简单地烹制美味的感恩节火鸡的过程。
1．How does the author introduce the topic？
A．By raising a question.
B．By giving an example.
C．By making some comments.
D．By explaining a phenomenon.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的最后一句“For this practice, for years I thought turkey was the absolute hardest thing to cook in the world.”并结合作者讲述的小时候在感恩节看到母亲做火鸡的过程可知，本文使用举例的方式引出烹制火鸡的话题。故选B。
2．What does the underlined word “Season” in Paragraph 3 mean？
A．Make use of.
B．Sort out.
C．Separate something from.
D．Add something to.
解析：D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后句子“This is very important.Most people season their turkeys straight in its roasting pan, leading to extra salt at the bottom.”可知，很多人直接在烤锅里进行操作，导致底部有多余的盐，结合选项可知，season的意思应为“加作料”，其中关键信息是“leading to extra salt at the bottom”。故选D。
3．Why does the smoke alarm go off while making the turkey
A．The milk fats on the pan catch fire.
B．The butter applied to the turkey melts.
C．The temperature of roasting the turkey is high.
D．Some extra salt is left at the bottom of the pan.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Another issue is that if you're applying melted(融化的) butter and some of that drips off into the pan, the milk fats can burn, and the one thing we don't want on Thanksgiving Day is for the smoke alarm to go off.”可知，奶油脂滴到锅里，可能导致燃烧，所以引发烟雾报警器响起的原因是奶油脂着火。故选A。
4．What is the text mainly about
A．A simplest way to cook your turkey.
B．A celebration for Thanksgiving Day.
C．Roasting turkey is a traditional custom.
D．The turkey symbolizes Thanksgiving Day.
解析：A 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的最后一句“For this practice, for years I thought turkey was the absolute hardest thing to cook in the world.”可知，本句引出下文话题。结合第二段中的“For me, I've found that the best method is to just roast it like a chicken.No black magic.”以及作者对整个烹制火鸡过程的简述可推知，本文主要讲述的是如何烹制感恩节火鸡。故选A。

语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了七夕节的相关情况。
解析：
1．is recognised 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在中国农历里， 七月七日是年轻人浪漫的一天， 被称为七夕节， 也被认为是中国的情人节。空处是一个定语从句， 先行词Qixi Festival在从句中作主语， 指物， 两者有被动关系， 句子描述客观事实， 应用一般现在时单数谓语动词形式， be recognised as意为“被认为是”。故填is recognised。
2．nearly 考查副词。句意：这个节日庆祝的是一个从汉代开始， 有近2,000年历史的童话故事。空格处意为“将近”， 修饰作定语的合成词“2,000-year-old”， 作状语， 用副词修饰。故填nearly。
3．has come 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：从那时起， 七夕就开始代表真爱。由“Since then”可知， 句子时态用现在完成时， 主语Qixi是单数，语意理解为主动形式，因此空处用现在完成时单数主动谓语动词形式。故填has come。
4．hoping 考查非谓语动词。句意：在古代， 女孩们会在节日的晚上给织女献上水果和食物， 希望她们能像女神一样灵巧地编织， 这样她们就能找到理想的丈夫。句中谓语是would offer, 空处用非谓语动词， girls与hope之间是主动关系， 因此空处用现在分词， 作状语。故填hoping。
5．in 考查介词。句意：今天， 当七夕节到来的时候， 许多年轻人用他们自己的方式庆祝它。in...way是固定短语， 意为“以……的方式”， 因此空格处用介词形式。故填in。
6．who 考查定语从句。句意：在绍兴， 女孩们躲在南瓜地里， 相信那些能听到牛郎和织女低语的人会很快找到真爱。空处引导的是定语从句， 从句中缺少主语， 先行词those指人， 因此空处用关系代词who。故填who。
7．to wash 考查非谓语动词。句意：在湖南， 妇女从山上取水洗头， 这样她们就能得到织女的祝福。空处表示“妇女从山上取水”的目的， 所以用不定式作目的状语。故填to wash。
8．customs 考查名词复数。句意：如今， 一些传统习俗在中国农村地区仍然存在， 但在城市里已被削弱了。空前有不定代词some修饰， 所以用名词复数形式。故填customs。
9．weakened 考查构词法和过去分词。根据本句时态和语态可知， 空处应该用过去分词形式， weak的动词形式是weaken, 此处表示被动。故填weakened。
10．the 考查冠词。句意：然而， 牛郎和织女的传说已经在人们心中扎下了根。由“legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nü”可知， 空处修饰被限定范围的传说， 所以用定冠词the, 特指牛郎和织女的传说。 故填the。
