(共10小题，计20分)AMany of us think that all foreigners certainly celebrate Thanksgiving.But this is simply not true.Only the US and Canada mark the day---and they do so on two different dates.Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November in the US.This year,Thanksgiving in the US fell on Nov.22.But,in Canada,the festival has always been on the second Monday of October,the season for maple(枫树).There are however,some opinions as to when Canada’s first Thanksgiving actually appeared. Some believe it started in1578when English explorer Martin Frobisher landed in the Canadian Arctic.But others believe it was created by French navigator(航海家)Samuel de Champlain in 1604,who liked to keep his people happy by holding harvest parties.Either way,the Canadian Thanksgiving isn’t as big a deal as it is in the US.It is,according to Sara Levasseur at McGill Daily,“less conspicuous,like many Canadian things”.It’s basically just a simple holiday,little more than a celebration of the harvest.There are no presidential pardons of turkeys,no parades(游行)and no American football.It is“celebrated most typically with a filled-turkey meal and other seasonal food,as well as million thanks for all that Canada has offered”,said Huff Post.“Canada’s Thanksgiving is often seen as a time to simply relax and eat good food.”Levasseur writes.“It is more of a subtle(微妙的)feeling,like long drives home on tree-linedroads.It’s the feeling of home.”46.What do we know about Thanksgiving?A.It is celebrated in Europe and America.B.It falls on different dates in the US and Canada.C.It is celebrated on Nov.22in the US every year.47.What docs the underlined word“conspicuous”mean?A.引人注目的B.令人放松的C.极其有趣的48.What can people probably enjoy on Thanksgiving in Canada?A.Presidential pardons of turkeys.B.Parades.C.A turkey meal.49.Which of the statement about Thanksgiving is TRUE?A.Samuel de Champlain liked to hold parties to create ThanksgivingB.People in Canada also thank their country on Thanksgiving Day.C.Thanksgiving in Canada is a time to drive home on tree-lined roads.50.What can we learn about Thanksgiving in Canada from the article?A.It gives Canadians the feeling of home.B.It usually ends with a great harvest party.C.It is more important in Canada than in the US.BChinese is a beautiful but complex(复杂的)language,with tens of thousands of characters. When you come across a Chinese character that you don’t know,what will you do?You might look it up in a dictionary and find its pinyin.Pinyin,a system that uses the Latin alphabet(拉丁字母),tells us how to read Chinese characters.This year marks pinyin’s61st birthday.In1958,Chinese experts Zhou Youguang and his team designed Pinyin.They created the system to help illiterate Chinese people learn how to read.This idea worked out quite well.The number of the illiteracy in China dropped from80 percent in1950to52percent in1964.And today,it’s only4.08percent,Guangming Daily reported.Pinyin has been useful in other ways as well.It helps to improve the use of Standard Chinese, or Mandarin(普通话),so people who speak different local languages can still understand each other.And it also makes it much easier to type Chinese characters on computers and cellphones.Pinyin not only plays its part in our daily life,but is also finding its place in other languages The Oxford English Dictionary now includes more than100pinyin words,such as jiaoz i for “dumplings”and zhongguomeng for“Chinese dream”.Foreign media sometimes use pinyin in their reports about China.When reporting on middle-aged Chinese women who drive the global(全球)gold market,the Wall Street Journal used the term(术语)dama.As Guangming Daily noted,pinyin is not only a language tool,but also a cultural bridge that connects China to the world.51.Zhou Youguang and his team designed pinyin to help people.e dictionariesB.read characterse the Latin alphabet52.What does the underlined word“illiterate”mean in Chinese?A.不识字的B.不懂方言的C.满腹经纶的53.Pinyin helps people EXCEPT.A.speak local languagesB.type characters more easilyC.know more Chinese characters54.Which of the following is NOT true?A.We can find pinyi n in all English dictionaries.B.People find it easy to read characters with the help of pinyin.C.Pinyin has helped millions of Chinese learn to read for over60years.55.What can be the best title of this story?A.Why Chinese People Need Pinyin.B.The Role Pinyin Plays at Home and Abroad.C.Pinyin---a Tool to Learn Chinese Language.第三节语篇补全阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。
