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.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 1863as 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 thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了感恩节的由来以及在美国和加拿大庆祝感恩节的差别.

解答 29.C.细节理解题.根据第二段1,2行Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival.This is why it is celebrated in late fall,after the crops are in.可知感恩节是在秋天进行的,故C正确.
30.A.细节理解题.根据第三段前4行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).说明庆祝感恩节的是来自欧洲的清教徒,故A正确.
31.C.推理判断题.根据第三段最后2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.
32.B.主旨大意题.根据第一段Thanksgiving Day is 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.

10.The silent young woman in bed number six is called Jasmine.So am I,but names are only superficial(表面的) things,floats on the surface of the water,and we share deeper connections than that.That is why I spend my off-duty time sitting beside her.
Today is difficult.The ward (病房) is full of patients and I am kept busy emptying bed-pans,filling out forms,changing dressings.Finally,late in the afternoon,I get a few moments to make coffee,to take it over to the orange plastic chair beside her bed.I am thankful to be off my feet,glad to be in her company once again.
"Hello,Jasmine,"I say,as if greeting myself.
She does not reply.Jasmine never replies.She is down too deep.
She has been sea-damaged.I too am the daughter of a fisherman,so I choose my words like fish-hooks(鱼钩),cast them into her ears,imagine them sinking down through cold,dark water down to wherever she may be.
"I have little time today,"I tell her,touching her hair.
With Jasmine,it is always difficult not to touch.She is that rare thing,a truly beautiful woman.Because of this,people invent reasons to walk by.I catch them looking,drinking her in,feeding on her.They are barracuda (梭鱼),all of them.
Great beauty is something Jasmine and I do not share.I am glad of it.
"Your father may be here soon,"I say."Last week he said he would come."
Jasmine says nothing.Her left eyelid flickers(颤动),perhaps.
It is two months since the incident on her father's fishing boat,since she fell overboard,sank,became entangled in the nets.It was some time before anyone noticed,then there was panic.Her father hauled her back on board and sailed for home.When he finally arrived,he carried ashore what he thought was his daughter's body.
"Jasmine,"I whisper.I want her to take our baited (用作诱醒的) name.I want her to swallow it.
Fortunately,there was a doctor in the village that morning,a young man visiting relatives.It was he who brought this drowned woman back from the brink,he who told me her story.She opened her eyes,he said,looked up at her father and spoke a single word-then sank again,this time into coma(昏迷).
Barracuda.That is what Jasmine said.
When her father visits,he touches her hair,kisses her cheek,sits in the orange plastic chair at the side of her bed and holds her hand.Like my own father,he has the big,brown,life-roughened hands of a fisherman.He too smells of the sea,and pretends he is a good,simple man.
Jasmine.We share so much,we are almost one.
I remember early mornings,my hair touched to wake me,my father lifting me half-asleep from my bed,carrying me,dropping me into his boat.His voice rough in my ear,his hands rough on my skin.I never wanted to go,but I was just a child.He did as he wished.
I remember salt water,hot sun,my mother shrinking on the shore.I remember the rocking of the boat,the screams of the seagulls.
"Jasmine,you have a life inside you.Can't you hear it calling?"
Nothing.
The ward door bangs,and I see Jasmine's father walking towards us,carrying flowers.He smiles at me.Even in death,my own child had my father's smile,and Jasmine's will have this man's.I know it.
He stops by her bed and touches her hair.Something stirs deep inside me.I watch Jasmine's eyelids,waiting for her to bite.

72.Why does the author show special sympathy for Jasmine?C
A.They share the same name.
B.Jasmine looks very beautiful.
C.They have much in common.

A.comes to see his daughter every day   
B.is a good and simple man in the author's eyes
C.took his daughter out to the sea against her will
D.thought his daughter dead when back to the shore
74.What kind of situation is Jasmine in now?A
A.She is in a coma.
B.She is nearly dying.
C.She is completely deaf.
D.She is in a bad mood.
75.We can learn from the story thatD.
