The month of November is in autumn, the main season for harvesting crops.The writer O. Henry called Thanksgiving the one holiday that is purely American. It is not a religious holi day. But it has spiritual meaning.Thanksgiving began with the first European settlers in America. They gathered their crops, celebrated and gave thanks for the food.Tradition says Pilgrim settlers from England celebrated the first Thanksgiving in 1621. There is evidence t hat settlers in other parts of America held earlier Thanksgiving celebrations. But the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving st ory is the most popular.The Pilgrims were religious dissidents who fled oppression in England. They went first to the Netherlands. Then they left that country to establish a colony in North America. The Pilgrims landed in 1620 in what late r became known as Plymouth, Massachusetts.Their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was difficult. Their first months in America were difficult, too. Abo ut one hundred Pilgrims landed just as autumn was turning to winter. During the cold months that followed, about half of them died.When spring came, the Pilgrims began to plant crops. An American Indian named Squanto helped them. When summer ended, the Pilgrims had a good harvest of corn and barley. There was enough food to last t hrough the winter.The Pilgrims decided to hold a celebration to give thanks for their harvest. Writings from that time say Pil grim leader William Bradford set a date late in the year. He invited members of a nearby Indian tribe to tak e part. There were many kinds of food to eat. The meal included wild birds such as ducks, geese and turke ys. That thanksgiving celebration lasted three days.As the American colonies grew, many towns and settlements held thanksgiving or harvest celebrations.[共5题](1) Thanksgiving Day is originally celebrated by people for __________.

First of all, St. Valentine’s Day is not a holiday fro m work. No one gets a day off. On Valentine’s Day people usually send romantic cards to someone they lo ve or want to be loved by. The cards are called “valentines”. They are very colorful, often decorated with he arts, flowers, or birds, and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside. The basic message of the v erse is always “Be My Valentine”, “Be My Sweet Heart” or “Lover”. A valentine is often anonymous, or some times signed “Guess who”. The person receiving it has to guess who sent it. This can lead to interesting sp eculation. And that’s half the fun of valentines.One of the symbols of St. Valentine’s Day is the Roman god of Love, called Cupid. Cupid is often printe d on the card; he is a winged infant, not wearing anything, poised to shoot his arrow into a heart. He would shoot an arrow of love i nto a person’s heart to make the person fall in love immediately, maybe with the fir st person to come along. Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts, holding them together. So on February 14th not only do we have pictures of the Christian St. Valentine but we also have pictures of the n on-Christian Cupid, the Roman god of Love.But it is from the Christians that we get the stories about St. Valentine’s Day that most people have com e to believe. One story is about a Christian man whose name so unded something like “Valentine.” He lived around AD 250. At that time the Roman Emperor, Claudius II, refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get m arried for any reason whatsoever. Christian couples came to Valentine to be married. So Valentine would ma rry them in a Christian way. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that h e wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window of his prison. An d the leaves were shaped like a heart.[共5题](1) St. Valentine’s Day is a holiday for __________.

The telephone box, with two broken panes of glass in the side, stands at the junction of two main roads with buses, lorries and cars roaring past. It is pouring with r ain as George joins a queue of four depressed-looking people. Time passes slowly and seems to come to a standstill while the person immediately before George carries on an endless conversation, pausing only to in sert another coin every minute or so.Eventually the receiver is replaced and the caller leaves the box. George enters and picks up one of the directories inside, only to discover that someone unknown has torn out the very page he needs. Nothing for it but to dial directory Enquiries, wait patiently for a reply down the number given.At last George can go ahead with his call. Just as he is starting to dial, however, the door opens and a n unpleasant-looking face peers in with the demand, “Can’t you hurry up?” Ignoring such barbarity, George c ontinues to dial and his unwanted companion withdraws. At last he hears the burr-burr of the ringing tone, i mmediately followed by rapid pips demanding his money, but he is now so upset that he knocks down the c oins he has placed ready on the top of the box. Having at last located them, he dials again: the pips are re peated and he hastily inserts the coins. A cold voi ce informs him, “Grand Hotel, Chalfont Wells.” “I’ve an urg ent message for a Mr. Smith who is a guest in your hotel. Could you put me through to him? I’m afraid I d on’t know his room number.”The response appears less than enthusiastic and a long long silence follows. George inserts more coins.Then the voice informs him, “I’ve been trying to locate Mr. Smith but the hall porter reports having seen him leave about a minute ago.”Breathing heavily, George replaces the receiver, just as the knocking on the door starts again.[共5题](1) The main purpose of the passage is to provide __________.

In a ctual fact, people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories.The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper: “An opportunity to earn $250 in a few minutes. A man who is willing to take chances is wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be perform ed only once.” A reader found this offer very generous and applied to the advertiser, but a bit suspicious, he gave a false name. Soon afterwards, he received a reply. Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instr ucting him to ring a certain number if he was still interested. He did so and learnt on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him to “get rid of somebody” and would discuss it more fully with him next day. But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions. The police saw the two men meet and watched them as they drove away together. In the car the advertiser came to the point at once: he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife. The reason he gave was that he was suffering from an incurable dis ease and wanted to live in a warmer country, but his wife objected to this. Giving the man some money, th e advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog which, though it would not bite, might attract attention. He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize h er. After that, the advertiser suggested that the man should “do the job” next morning. Meanwhile, he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call. After the murder, they would meet again outside a railway station and the money would be paid as arranged. The second meeting never took place, for the advertiser was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with attempting to persuade someone to mur der his wife.[共5题](1) Which of the following statements can best express the meaning of the opening sentence? [本题2分](A) The murder stories often prefer to leave the doubtful points to the readers.(B) While reading, the readers can easily guess who is the real murderer.(C) The heroes in the stories meet with a lot of trouble.(D) Usually the stories show the readers who is the murderer at the very beginning.正确答案：A(2) When a reader saw the advertisement __________. [本题2分](A) he was sure he could get it(B) he could hardly believe it(C) he applied for the job with a false name(D) Both B and C正确答案：D(3) According to the passage, we CANNOT infer that __________. [本题2分](A) the advertiser gave the man the first instruction through a letter(B) it was on the telephone that the man understood what the job was(C) the two men worked together to fulfill the plan(D) the man was scared when he knew what he was asked to do, so he reported the police at once正确答案：C(4) When the police received the report __________. [本题2分](A) they arrested the advertiser at once(B) they sent a dog to keep watching on him(C) they didn’t arrest him until they got enough evidence(D) they arrested him after his wife was killed正确答案：C(5) What did the advertisement in a local newspaper provide?
