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 Thursday of November 1863 as 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.‎ ‎41. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated .‎ A. in spring B. summer C. in autumn D. in winter ‎42.

There s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.‎ ‎45. The passage mainly tells us .‎ A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U.S.A 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 B Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in New York, but later his family decided to move to North Carolina. His parents worked hard to provide the family with a comfortable life and meantime, they continually raised their expectations for their five children, letting them know that more was expected from them.‎ As a child, Jordan played baseball and basketball. But after he began spending more time on the basketball court, his interest changed. Because his older brother, Larry, continuously beat him when they played one-on-one, he became determined to become a better player. Sometimes, he also played football in his free time.‎ Sadly, in 1978, when Jordan attended Laney‎ ‎High School, he was cut from the school team although he was a good player and quick. He became even more determined. Between the 10th and 11th grade, Jordan grew from 5’11” to 6’3”, and he made the team the following year.‎ By the time Jordan was finishing his senior year at Laney, he had got a basketball scholarship from the University‎ of ‎North Carolina. In the summer of 1984, Jordan played on the US Men’s Olympic Basketball Team, scoring an average of 17.1 points per game. Two months after the Olympics, Jordan played his first regular-season game with the Chicago Bulls.‎ Soon his acrobatic (特技的) moves and hangtime won him the nickname “Air Jordan”. Michael led the Bulls to the World Championship in 1991 and two more before he announced his ‎ first retirement. The world applauded when he returned to the NBA in March 1995. Although his first season was shaky, even his critics had to admit Michael’s talent shone through. In 1996, Jordan led the Bulls to their best regular-season record and the fourth Championship title in six years.‎ ‎46. The second paragraph mainly tells us .‎ A.

They played very well and won three World Championships.‎ ‎49. The underlined word “applauded” in the last paragraph probably means“ ”.‎ A. shouted B. cheered C. was shocked D. was disappointed ‎50. From the passage, we can learn that .‎ A. Jordan’s parents had high hopes for their children B. Jordan didn’t get along well with his brother Larry C. Jordan only retired once in his basketball career D. Jordan won the nickname “Air Jordan” because of his quick speed C Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One ‎ discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form.‎ One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for 4 a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.”‎ ‎51. At first the author looked upon life as a process of getting. He formed this view of life because .‎ A. other people were selfish B. he thought it exciting to get from others C. of his early education D. of his character ‎52.

School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?‎ If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance (忍耐). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.‎ Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Knowing others constantly makes us understand others’ differences.‎ Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an ‎ even temper (脾气) and an open mind.‎ You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should the differences in others and not try to make them change.‎ It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s life easier.
