Thanksgiving Day is 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 (清教徒) 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, 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. 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 this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

Ⅰ 阅读理解
A
With more recognition than Halloween and less than Christmas, Valentine's Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China, where it's caught between forces of tradition and fashion. Valentine's Day has a natural enemy in China. And it is not the Chinese equivalent,_which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar, usually around half a year away from Feb.14. It is the Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine.
The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago, when China's door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation's ability to compete.
The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order.
For a full century, we have had two systems running in parallel. When it comes to the eventual outcome, practicality usually beats all other concerns. Laws can help, such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008 and giving every Chinese citizen a day off, but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for. So, the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry. If they are irrelevant, no social media will change the public's mind; and if they are accepted, there must be a need which they happen to satisfy.
Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country, we can always rely on a dual (双重的) approach by which we share with the outside world on the one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other.
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。中国的门户开放及海纳百川的大国胸怀为中国发展带来了便利，但与此同时，越来越多的传统却被追赶“洋气”的国人抛诸脑后……
1．What does the author think about Valentine's Day in present China?
A．It meets with a natural enemy.
B．It is better known than Christmas.
C．It strongly attacks Chinese culture.
D．It is more popular with young people.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Valentine's Day has a natural enemy in China.”可知，情人节在中国有一个天敌。故选A。
2．The underlined word “equivalent” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A．the Dragon-boat Festival
B．the Spring Festival
C．the Mid-Autumn Festival
D．the Chinese Valentine's Day
答案：D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar, usually around half a year away from Feb.14”并结合常识可知，此处指“中国的情人节——七夕”。故选D。
3．According to the author, the leading factor to decide what to celebrate is ________.
A．current laws B．people's needs
C．public media D．age-old tradition
答案：B 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，作者认为，决定庆祝什么节日主要取决于人们的需求。故选B。
4．The author believes that ________.
A．the conflict between the East and the West will last long
B．Chinese festivals are to be paid more attention to in years
C．both Chinese and foreign systems of festivals can co-exist in China
D．this cultural shock is normal and will be received by more people in the future
答案：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“we can always rely on a dual (双重的) approach by which we share with the outside world on the one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other”可知，作者认为，在中国中外节日的不同庆祝形式是可以并存的。故选C。

His festive craze (狂热) has so far cost all estimated (估算) US $427,500.
“I'm going to be doing it for another 12 years. I've never, ever been bored with it.” he said.
The electrician from Wiltshire, southwest England, starts his day with a big breakfast of six pies and a turkey sandwich before heading off to work.
He finishes work by 11：30 am in order to start roasting a turkey—the traditional Christmas dish.
At 3：00 pm he watches a video of the British Queen's annual Christmas speech to the Commonwealth, glass of wine in hand.
Dinner is turkey, wine and a bottle of champagne.
He lays his present to himself under the Christmas tree at 8：00 pm.
He even insists on a full Christmas dinner if he goes to a restaurant or to a friend's house for dinner.
Park is hoping his love of Christmas can translate into SUCCESS in the music charts when he releases a single. It's Christmas Every Day on December 9. “I want to be No.1，” he said. Before now, he has made unsuccessful singles such as The Christmas Man.

Dear Mike，
Thanks a lot for your last letter, in which you asked me about the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm really glad that you are interested in traditional Chinese culture. Now I'd like to introduce some customs about this festival to you.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, so it is also called the Double Fifth Festival. On that day, we usually eat Zongzi, a kind of traditional Chinese food, which is made of sticky rice and tastes really delicious. To celebrate this festival, we have many activities. The most popular one is dragon boat race. People usually take active part in them and enjoy themselves a lot during the races.
If you want to know more about it, you can come to China next month and celebrate the festival with me. I'm sure you will have an unforgettable experience here.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。“二月二剃龙头，一年都有精神头”，除了剃龙头的风俗习惯，你还知道其他关于二月二的传统吗？
1．which 考查定语从句的引导词。分析该句结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为“Dragon Heads-raising Day”，空处在从句中作主语，故用which引导该定语从句。
2．raising 考查非谓语动词。该句主语“The dragon”和动词raise为逻辑上的主谓关系，此处作伴随状语，故用其现在分词形式。
3．their 考查代词。空处修饰后面的名词“heads”，故用形容词性物主代词their，表示“他们的头”。
4．is bursting 考查固定用法。根据常识并结合语境可知，大概就是这个时候，大地生机勃勃。此处考查固定用法be bursting with sth.，表示“充满某物”；且该句主语为“the earth”，为第三人称单数，且此处叙述的为客观情况，故谓语动词用is。故填is bursting。
5．would pray/prayed 考查动词的时态。此处可以表示在古代人们在二月二会做的事情，故用would do sth.；根据该句的时间状语“In ancient China”可知，该处陈述的是发生在中国古代的事情，故也可用一般过去时。
6．Traditionally 考查副词。空处修饰整个句子作状语，故用其副词形式。
7．foods 考查名词的单复数。根据该句中的“include dragon's scales, popcorn and pig's heads”可知，这一天人们吃多种食物，且谓语动词“include”为复数形式，故空处用food的复数形式。
8．cut 考查固定用法。分析该句结构可知，此处考查固定用法get sth. done，表示“使某事发生”。
9．the 考查冠词。根据语境可知，该处特指“河北的乡下”，故用定冠词the。
10．that 考查主语从句。分析该句结构可知，该句中的“It”为形式主语，真正主语是空处引导的主语从句；且该从句为陈述句，故用that引导该主语从句。

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
That Special Moment Between
Mother and Daughter, over Baklava
Lately, following the most recent fall a month ago, my 90-year-old mother has been more and more quiet and sleepy. For a person who by everyone's accounts walk, moves and talks a mile a minute and is a firecracker of a personality, this is very odd.
At the same time, my 92-year-old father has been suffering his own health problems. My father says she was still talkative until a couple of weeks ago and now is no longer like that.
The other day, I recalled how my mother used to visit a woman named Mrs Demopolis, who made the best baklava! She gave lessons on baking them to my mother and as a 4-year-old, I thoroughly enjoyed these visit and the treat I inevitably ended up with! Also, my mother took to baking baklava often for a time and that was sheer pleasure. As I spoke of this over the phone, my silent mother perked up and said how much she'd like to have one again.
Now, they live in Florida and I live in Wales, UK, so I can't sadly pop over and bring her some baklava or even make some in her kitchen. But what I did suggest was that my father or sister could buy them some baklava at a Greek Restaurant and I could do the same, and wouldn't it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so be together sharing the moment and the pleasure? Both parents loved the idea and we resolved to do it.
Two days later we both had our baklava and shared the experience while our husbands took a picture. It meant a lot to my parents, and to me, to do this. We both had authentic and delicious baklava and shared the moment.
My mother said she wants to do this again, maybe with another food or even baklava again! Why not? And as she only weighs 85 lbs and keeps losing instead of gaining, it is good for her to find foods that appeal to her appetite.
It is becoming harder to find ways to communicate over the phone, but this was at least a very yummy way to do so. And it was nice, as well, to evoke pleasant memories of our past.

Ⅰ 阅读理解
Millions of people crowded onto trains, airplanes and buses across China last week. They were hurrying home, to be with their families for China's most important holiday, Chinese New Year. More than one billion people around the world are celebrating the New Year.
History Behind the Holiday
The Chinese New Year is celebrated at the second new moon after the winter solstice (冬至). (The winter solstice is one of the two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the equator. It is also the shortest day of the year.) According to an ancient legend, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. 12 animals came, and Buddha named a year after each animal. The animals were: the mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
A Good Year to Be a Pig
Buddha announced that people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. If you were born in 1959, 1971, 1983 or 1995, you were born in the year of the Pig. People who were born in these years are believed to be polite, honest, hardworking and loyal. They are also supposed to be lucky, which is why many Chinese like to have babies in a Pig year. They are said to get along best with people born under the year of the Rabbit, Goat, Tiger, Dragon, Horse and Dog.
Festivals, Lions and Feasts
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese celebrate with fireworks, family gatherings, and feasts. One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is the lion dance. The lion is considered a holy (神圣的) animal. During celebrations, dancers dressed as lions (or holding up elaborate paper lions in the air) perform to bring good luck to the people they visit at their homes or businesses. People often wear in red, which symbolizes fire. Legend has it that fire can drive away bad luck. The 15-day New Year season is celebrated with firecrackers, dragon dances and visits to friends and relatives. The celebrations end with the Lantern Festival, when brightly colored lanterns are hung in parks around China.

Ⅱ 读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was Christmas_Day. Pappy was working alone fixing an old lantern in the backroom when he heard the ringing of his bell on the shop door. The bell,_which produced a uniquely pleasant sound, had been in Pappy's family for over a hundred years. He valued it dearly and enjoyed sharing its song with all who came to his shop. Although the bell hung on the inside of the main door, Pappy had tied a wire to the screen door so that it would ring whether the inner door was open or not. Hearing the bell, he left the backroom to greet his customer.
“And how can I help you, little lady？” Pappy's voice was joyful.
“Hello, sir.” The_little_girl spoke almost in a whisper. She looked at Pappy with her big brown eyes, and then slowly scanned the room in search of something special. Shyly she told him, “I'd like to buy a present, sir.”
“Well, let's see，” Pappy said, “who is this present for？”
“My grandpa. It's for my grandpa. But I don't know what to get.”
Pappy began to make suggestions. “How about a pocket watch? It's in good condition.” The little girl didn't answer. She had walked to the doorway and put her small hand on the door. She shook the door gently to ring the bell. Pappy's face seemed to glow as he saw her smiling with excitement.
“This is just right，” the little girl said. “Momma says grandpa loves music.”
Just then, Pappy's expression changed. Fearful of breaking the little girl's heart, he told her, “I'm sorry, Missy. That's not for sale. Maybe your grandpa would like this little radio.”
The girl looked at the radio, bowed her head, and sadly sighed,_“No, I don't think so.”
In an effort to help her understand, Pappy told her that the bell had been his only companion, for the rest of his family were all gone now, except for his estranged (疏远的) daughter whom he had not seen for nearly a decade.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1：
With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him. She managed a forced smile, murmuring “Thank you, anyway” and turned toward the doorway. Suddenly Pappy thought of his estranged daughter. Feeling a lump in his throat, Pappy called out, “How much have you got to spend, Missy？” At this moment, the little girl emptied her purse onto the counter—two dollars. After a quick struggle in his mind, Pappy said, “Today is Christmas_Day and this is your lucky day. The bell costs exactly two dollars.” Holding the special_bell close to her chest, the child danced out.
Paragraph 2：
Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop, he heard a familiar ringing. He couldn't believe his ears! There in the doorway stood the_little_girl,_ringing the bell and smiling sweetly. Puzzled, Pappy approached her. “Have you changed your mind, little lady？” “No，” the child grinned, “Momma says the present is for you.” Before Pappy had time to say another word, the child's mother stepped in. Holding back her tears, she gently said, “Hello, Dad.”

Dear Aron，
I'm so excited to received your letter. And you just wanted to know about the Mid-Autumn Festival of China, so let me tell you about it!
Falling on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the second grandest festival in China after the Spring Festival. It takes its name from the fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season. The day is also known as the Moon Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its roundest and brightest.
Due to frequent communications with China and migrations of Chinese people, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become popular in other parts of the world, especially neighboring Asian countries where it is celebrated in the same way as in China, while others add their own customs.
If you want to discuss more about this festival, you can write to me.
Yours，
