“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November.It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America.When they first arrived, they found the environment strange.But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find food.Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”
Todd from California, USA
“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping.That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends.For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV.The match is watched by millions of people all over America.Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football！”

Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food！”

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. __1__Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.__2__He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.__3__When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric (纤维) to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉)．This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.__4__
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. __5__The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.
A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.
B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.
C．Strauss agreed and Levi's jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.
D．However, he did not get much business for those products.
E．Besides, he also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.
F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.
G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

Full of beauty, happiness and a healthy love of life, the Bulgarian (保加利亚人的) festivals and customs date back to old time when man tried to live in peace with nature.The merriest and richest festivals are Christmas and the New Year, when the so?called “sourvakari” makes the round of house with wishes for health and wealth.Other main festivals include “ladouvane” — a holiday for young girls on New Year's Day or Midsummer Day (24th June), Shrovetide and Mummers' Games which mark the start of spring, and “lazrouvane” — a traditional festival for love and family, health and richness.And among them, the widely popular and typical Bulgarian customs and festivals are “martenitsas” and rose?picking.
Every year on March 1st, the Bulgarians give each other “martenitsas” — a small doll made of white and red strings, a symbol of the beginning of spring, health and happiness.
In late May and early June every year, the rose?picking season starts in the Valley of Roses which is between the Balkan Range and the Sredna Gora Mountains.Rose?picking starts at dawn, before sunrise and before the pleasant smell of the rose has disappeared.The Bulgarian rose produces 70 percent of the world's rose oil which is used by the very well?known perfume (香水) company as a basic element of its products.This is the time of the Festival of Roses, celebrated with carnivals, happy activities, folk songs and dances in Karlovo and Kazanluk on the first Sunday in June.

Next Thursday, November 27th (the fourth Thursday in November), Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving.They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together.
Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people.From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100?year?old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgivings.
But he says it was different when he was a child.Mr Rosa was just three when his family came to America.“When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually didn't pay too much attention to it.” But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty.“They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here.”
And the family had little money.There were six Rosa children.Mr Rosa's father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania.The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the hard time of the 1930's.But Mr Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.
This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great?grandchildren.
On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California.We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year, her first answer is “The election”. She said she also is deeply grateful for her very large family.Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter.She has five younger brothers and sisters.She also has eight stepbrothers and sisters.Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.
( )5.From Ms Dahlstrom's words, we can infer that ________.
A．she is content with her family, relatives and the society
B．she is thankful for her effort in the election and her family
C．she has always been celebrating Thanksgiving this way
D．her daughter has a large family with stepbrothers and sisters
( )6.As a whole, Thanksgiving in America is ______.
A．a happy gathering with family members, relatives and friends
B．a grand family dinner party as well as a tourist holiday
C．a great social gathering of entertainment and achievement
D．a large gathering of people of different generations

A．A close friend of Mr Rosa and Ms Dahlstrom's.
B．A journalist for a radio or TV station.
C．A university student who majors in history.
D．An actress who wants to experience real life.
【答案与解析】
本文通过对两个家庭的叙述得知：感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚，而不是旅游冒险，也不是不同代人之间的相会。
5．A 推理判断题。Ms Dahlstrom有两个感激：“总统选举”和“大家庭”，由此推断出她无论对社会还是对家庭都是充满感激和爱的。
6．A 细节理解题。对文中这两个家庭的大致叙述，不难看出，感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚，而不是旅游、冒险，也不是不同代人之间的相会。
7．B 推理判断题。文中数次出现直接引语，在最后一段中出现了“We asked”。由此判断出采访形式是广播或电视节目报道。
C

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, 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 this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November.Canadians celebrate Thanks?giving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours.But the Canadian thanks?giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.
( )12.The first to celebrate Thanksgiving were ________.
A．some people from England B．the American Indians
C．Sarah Josepha Hale D．Governor Bradford
( )13.We can infer from the passage that New England must be ________.
A．in the U．S.A． B．in Great Britain
C．in Canada D．on some island off the Atlantic
( )14.Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Thanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.
B．Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on Thanksgiving celebrations.
C．Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people's thanks to God.

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
【答案与解析】
本文介绍了感恩节。感恩节是美国和加拿大的特别节日，家人和朋友们聚在一起吃饭，并感谢他们的祝福。文章主要描述了感恩节的起源和美、加两国对感恩节不同的庆祝方式。
12．A 细节理解题。根据文章“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.”可知，第一个感恩节是英国的一些人在美国庆祝的。故选A。
13．A 推理预测题。根据文章“The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest.The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth，Massachusetts，in 1620.”可知，新英格兰的第一个感恩节是在现在的普利茅斯，马萨诸塞州庆祝。马萨诸塞州是美国的一个州，可推测当时新英格兰人民在美国庆祝。故选A。
14．C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两行“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.”这些人只是邀请印第安人过来一起庆祝，并不是印第安人也这样。故C项说法是错误的。
15．B 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada.Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.”可知本文主要讲述的是感恩节的由来以及在美国和加拿大庆祝感恩节的差别。故B正确。

【答案与解析】
41．kinds我们有各种各样的节日和庆典。 all kinds of意为“各种各样，形形色色”，固定短语搭配。
42．to celebrate古代人民举行节日和庆典是为了庆祝冬天的结束、春天的种植或者秋天的丰收。根据语境可知，设空处要用不定式来作状语，表示目的。
43．in一些节日是为了纪念祖先的。in memory of意为“纪念……，作为……的纪念”，固定短语。
44．an这些节日都有一个事件作为起源。根据语境可知，设空处缺少不定冠词，而后面event是以元音因素开头的单词，所以要用不定冠词an。
45．honors像端午节就是为了敬仰古代著名的诗人，屈原。设空处前面的which指代的是“the Dragon Boat Festival”，是专有名词，所以从句中的谓语动词要用单数。
46．competitions人们装饰教堂，聚在一起吃饭或赢得比赛的奖项。因为设空处前面的for为介词，所以后面要接名词。而且因为awards为复数，可知比赛也有很多项，所以也要用复数名词。
47．energic春节在中国是一个活跃而重要的节日。由设空处后面的and可知，本句是由and连接两个并列的形容词，共同修饰后面的festival，所以设空处要用形容词。
48．dressing人们期待着精心打扮、吃饺子、在红包里给孩子压岁钱并且玩龙灯。look forward to中的to为介词，所以后面要接动词?ing形式，所以设空处要用动名词形式，与句中的eating，giving和playing构成并列关系。
49．celebration根据句子前面的the可知，设空处要用名词形式，表示“庆祝……”。
50．and农历新年的庆祝可能发生在整个国家，而且是夜以继日(的庆祝)。day and night意为“日日夜夜，夜以继日”，固定用法。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line， everyone burst out laughing. “A popular boy，” I thought to myself. My name is Daniel， I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class， and most people weren't very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group， and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters. Five years later， Roy and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago， Roy's father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends， including me.
About three months ago， a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom， I went inside to get it， and found Roy going through the pockets of people's coats. He had a wallet in his hand—and I knew it wasn't his！ Roy's face went red. “I'll put it back right now，” he said， and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing， but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about ￡500. But to our surprise， the next morning， we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there was about ￡500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there， holding the notes in my hand. At that moment， Roy walked in.

3.续写部分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数；
4.续写完成后，请用下画线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
Seeing me stand there with the money in my hand， Roy felt panicky(恐慌的).
Paragraph 2：
We went to the headteacher Mrs Smith together.
One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
Seeing me stand there with the money in my hand， Roy felt panicky(恐慌的). I became very angry， asking him if it was the money that we raised last week. His face went red， admitting that he had stolen it in a low voice. I slowly calmed down and hugged him， telling that I would be willing to help him overcome his difficulty. He wept and then we had a sincere talk fact to face. At last we agreed to return the money.
Paragraph 2：
We went to the headteacher Mrs Smith together. In the teacher's office， Roy returned the money to Mrs Smith， and guaranteed not to do such things again. Though Mrs Smith was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes， she praised him for his courage and correction and told him if he had difficulty with finance she would be ready to help him. Roy was moved to tears. After that， we became good friends again. We trusted each other and shared sorrow and happiness together.

情态动词(Ⅰ)
一、概述
情态动词主要用来表示说话人的看法、意愿、态度等，常有“需要”“可以”“必须”“应当”等意义。它有如下几个特点：
1．不能单独作谓语，除ought to和used to以外，后面只能接不带to的不定式。
2．没有人称和数的变化；但有些情态动词，如can，will，dare有一般时和过去时的变化。
3．情态动词的“时态”的形式并不是区分时间的主要标志。不少情况下，情态动词的现在时形式和过去时形式都可用来表示现在时间、过去时间或将来时间。
二、用法详解
1．can和could

(1)表示能力，常译为“能，会”。
I can speak Japanese，but I can't write it.

—Can/Could I have a look at your photos?

2．can和be able to
(1)can只有现在时和过去时could，而be able to有更多的时态变化，在将来时、完成时和非谓语动词中只能用be able to。
(2)can一般指自身具有的能力，而be able to 表示经过一段时间的努力后所具有的能力，相当于manage to do或succeed in doing。
(3)在否定句中，was/were able to与could没有区别。
She ran fast but she couldn't/wasn't able to catch the bus.她跑得很快，可还是没能赶上公共汽车。
选词填空(can/could be able to)

(1)表示许可或请求许可。(用might比用may语气更礼貌、更委婉)
May I come in？我可以进来吗？
He asked if he might borrow my pen.
他问我是否可以借我的钢笔。
注意：用May I…？ 征询对方许可在文体上比较正式，在口气上比较客气。在日常口语中，用Can I…？ 征询对方意见更为常见。
(2)表示可能性。主要用于陈述句，表示肯定或否定。(might比may可能性更小)
The news may be true.＝The news might be true.这消息也许是真的。
表示祝愿时只能用may，并且may通常放在句首。
May you have a good time on your trip!
祝你旅途愉快！
用may或might填空
①I ______ well regret it later.
②______ you have a very happy life!
③You ______ stay here if you choose.
【答案】①might ②May ③may
4．will和would
(1)表示请求、建议，用于第二人称疑问句中，would比will语气更委婉。
Will you call back later, please?
请过一会儿再打过来好吗？
Would you like a cup of coffee？你想来杯咖啡吗？
(2)表示意志、愿望和决心，有“愿；要”之意，would表示过去的意愿和决心。
I will do my best to help you.
我愿尽我最大努力帮助你。
(3)表示习惯性动作或某种倾向。would表示过去习惯性的动作或倾向。
Oil will float on water.油总是浮在水上。
(4)用will be结构表示推测，主要用于第二、三人称。表示对目前情况的推测。
This will be the book you want.
这就是你想要的书。
【辨析】
would/used to
两者均表示“过去常常”，但would仅表示过去习惯性动作(不表状态)，现在有可能还如此，也可能不再那样；used to既表示过去的动作也表示过去的状态，不过现在不再做或不再有那种状态。
He would get up at eight.
他过去总是八点起床。(现在可能不是这样了)
He used to get up at eight.
他过去常常八点起床。(现在不这样了)
用will或would填空
①The ship ______ not be ready for a month.
②______ you stay for supper?
③______ he always be like this?
④I am not who I ________ be.How can I go back?
【答案】①will ②Will/Would ③Would ④used to
5．shall和should
(1)shall用于第一、第三人称疑问句中，表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。
What shall we do this evening?
我们今晚干什么呢？
(2)shall用于第二、第三人称，表示说话人给对方命令、警告、允诺或威胁。
You shall not leave your post.
你不得离开岗位。(命令)
Tell her that she shall have the book tomorrow.
告诉她明天就可以拿到书了。(允诺)
(3)should表示劝告、建议、命令，其同义词是ought to；在疑问句中，通常用should代替ought to，意为“应该”。(还常用于虚拟语气中)
Sal suggested that we should go for a swim.
萨尔建议我们去游泳。
用shall或should填空
①We ______ go to see you tomorrow.
②______ I get the keys?
③I think the children ______ be taken good care of.
④He ______ be in my house now.
【答案】①shall ②Shall ③should ④should
6．must的用法
(1)表示必须。(must提出的问题，其否定回答用needn't, 表示没有必要)
All the students must obey the school rules.
所有学生必须遵守校规。
(2)表示推测。(只能用在肯定句中，在否定句和疑问句中要用can或could)
My watch doesn't work.There must be something wrong with it.
我的手表不走了，一定是出问题了。
(3)must表示发生了某种与说话人的愿望相反、不受欢迎的事，意思是“偏偏”“偏要”。
Must you do things like that, Mallet?
马利特，小心点儿不行吗？(直译：偏要这么干吗？)
【辨析】
must/can't/mustn't
must可以表示对现在、过去或将来的猜测，其否定形式不是mustn't，而是can't。
can't表示“不能”，是指无能力；mustn't表示“不能”，指的是“禁止，不允许”。在口语里，can't也可表示“禁止，不允许”，但语气不如mustn't强。
He must be at home.I can hear him speaking.
他一定在家，我能听见他说话。(表示对现在的猜测)
He can't swim.他不会游泳。(表示无能力)
You mustn't take it away.
不许你把它带走。(表示禁止)

阅读下面的短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The other day， I was getting ready to go to teach my English class. And， time ran out and I had to go to class， where it was my night to get judged by the program director. My adult students are so wonderful. They really encourage me to be a good teacher and to keep pushing myself to improve. So， after class， the director and I were talking about my teaching and she said she was so thankful to me for my energy. Then one of my new students overheard some of the discussion and she pointed to me and said to the director， “He is an excellent teacher！ A very nice teacher！” My heart rose as I replied， “Thank you！” I was so， so touched by that.
Then， my director spoke about how sad everything might be in life but we should never give up. After we were done， as I was walking to my car， a man came close to me. He asked me for some money. He said he was so hungry， and he just wanted something to eat. I had no cash(现金). But we were right in front of a store， so I asked if I could buy him something to eat. The man excitedly said yes. We went inside， and he picked up a bottle of Coke and asked if he could get that. I said， “Certainly， please get whatever you like.” He picked out a box of cookies and said that was all he wanted. I wanted him to take more. I asked him if he wanted fruit， some bread， a sandwich， and anything else. He said no. He was happy with the Coke and cookies. Then we went up to the counter(柜台) and we had to wait a bit. Then I reached out my hand and introduced myself. He told me his name was William and that he was homeless. We talked for a while and I apologized for the wait， and we both laughed about that.

One possible version：
Then it was our turn， but the store only took cash that I didn't have. So， I asked where the nearest bank was and then we went to the bank. As we were waiting in the bank， the man said， “You are so nice. Most people aren't like you. You're different. You are so kind?hearted！” I was so touched by his words. After we left the bank and walked back to the store， I gave him some money， with the hopes he could get his Coke and cookies， and also had a little extra money for something else later. Then， we parted and I continued my way into the darkened night.

Period 1 Warming Up & Reading(1)
每年的10月31日是万圣节(Halloween)，这是西方的传统节日。万圣节又称“鬼节”，在西方是仅次于圣诞节和感恩节的第三大节日。
Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year.It means “holy evening”，and it comes every October 31，the evening before All Saints' Day.However，it is not really a church holiday，and it is a holiday for children mainly.
Every autumn，when the vegetables are ready to eat，children pick large orange pumpkins.Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside.It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called Jack?o'?lanterns，which means “Jack of the lantern”．
The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween.Some children paint their faces to look like monsters.Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house.Every time they come to a new house，they say，“Trick or treat! Money or eat！” The grown?ups put treat?money or candy in their bags.
Not only children but most grown?ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day，they can disguise themselves as personages or ghosts，as their imaginations will lead them.This brings them the satisfaction of being young.
