Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American holiday in the United States.
In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, sailed to America on the May Flower. They wanted to find a place where they could have freedom to worship（敬拜）God.
During their first winter, over half of the settlers died because they were cold and hungry. Those alive began sowing（播種）in the first spring.
All summer long they waited and finally the fields produced a rich harvest. And so they decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord should be fixed. Years later, President of the Unite States proclaimed（宣布）the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been on that date until today.
The Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be varieties of food. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They are the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day.
1．Choose the best word which means “settlers”?
A．visitorsB．PilgrimsC．peopleD．Americans
2．Why did half of the settlers die?
_________________________________________________________________________
3．On which day do people celebrate Thanksgiving Day?
_________________________________________________________________________
4．What is the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day?
_________________________________________________________________________
5．What should we think of and say to our family and friends on Thanksgiving Day?

2．Because they were cold and hungry.
3．On the fourth Thursday of November.
4．Roast turkey and pumpkin pie.
5．We should think of their help and love to us and say thank you and happy Thanksgiving to them!

1．本文第二段第一句提到settlers為移民者的含義，與or后的單詞pilgrims朝圣者意思接近，故本題選B
2．本文第三段提到有一半的移民者死亡是由于寒冷和饑餓，故本題的答案為Because they were cold and hungry.
3．本文第四段提到美國總統(tǒng)宣布每年11月份第四個星期四慶祝感恩節(jié)，故本題的答案為On the fourth Thursday of November.
4．本文倒數(shù)第二句提到在感恩節(jié)吃的最傳統(tǒng)食物是烤火雞和南瓜餅，故本題的答案為Roast turkey and pumpkin pie.
5．在感恩節(jié)我們應該想起家人對我們的幫助，并且愛戴他們，同時我們應該對他們說謝謝，感恩節(jié)快樂，故本題的答案為We should think of their help and love to us and say thank you and happy Thanksgiving to them!

Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t 小題1:u       them. They often think their parents are too strict 小題2:w       them.
Parents often find it difficult to win their 小題3:c       trust, and they seem to forget how they themselves felt when they were young.
For example, young people like to do things without much小題4:t      . It’s one of their ways to show that they grow up and they can solve any difficult小題5:p      .

閱讀下列短文回答問題：
The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different… because it’s noisy ! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.
When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favorite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.
Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.
Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like – it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favorite museum in the whole world.
小題1:Where does Tony go first when he visits the Science Museum?
小題2:What can you try out in the Human and Nature room?
小題3:How much does it cost to go in the Science Museum?
小題4:How long can you stay at the Science Museum ?
小題5:What does the writer think of the Science Museum?
