Ⅱ.阅读理解

Next Thursday，November 27th (the fourth Thursday in November)，Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving.They might play games，tell stories or watch football on television together.

Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people.From Drexel Hill，Pennsylvania，the 100-year-old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgivings.

But he says it was different when he was a child.Mr Rosa was just three when his family came to America.“When we were small children，Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually did n’t pay too much attention to it.” But，also，he says，his parents faced a language difficulty.“They were from Italy and spoke very broken English，because they were the first generation that came over here.”

And the family had little money.There were six Rosa children.Mr Ros a’s father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania.The family was not able to have big，costly dinners，especially during the hard time of the 1930’s.But Mr Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.

This Thanksgiving，Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away.He will celebrate the day with loved ones，including his great-grandchildre n.

On the other side of the country，Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord，California.We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year，her first answer is “The election”．She said she is also deeply grateful for her very large family.Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter.She has five younger brothers and sisters.She also has eight stepbrothers and stepsisters.Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.

语篇解读文章主要讲百岁老人Angelo Rosa的感恩节和Dahlstrom家的感恩节。

1．Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people because________．A．he came from Italy

B．he has a large family

C．he has a longer life

D．he has a much older house

解析：细节理解题。由于一般人很少有活过一百岁的，所以Angelo Rosa就比大多数人经历了更多的感恩节，回忆的内容自然也就更多了。

答案： C

2．From Ms Dahlstro m’s words，we can infer that________．

A．she is content with both her family，relatives and the society

B．she is thankful for her effort in the election and her family

C．she has always been celebrating Thanksgiving this way

D．her daughter has a large family with stepbrothers and stepsisters

解析：推理判断题。Ms Dahlstrom有两个感激：“总统选举”和“大家庭”。由此推断出她无论对社会还是对家庭都是充满感激和爱的。

答案： A

3．As a whole，Thanksgiving in America is________．

A．a happy gathering with family members，relatives and friends

B．a grand family dinner party as well as a tourist holiday

C．a great social gathering of entertainment and achievement

D．a large gathering of people of different generations

解析：细节理解题。从文中对这两个家庭的大致叙述不难看出，感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚、朋友的团聚，而不是旅游、冒险，也不是不同代人之间的相会。

答案： A

4．Who probably wrote the passage?

A．A close friend of Mr Rosa and Ms Dahlstro m’s.

B．A journalist for a radio or TV station.

C．A university student who majors in history.

D．An actress who wants to experience real life.

解析：体裁判断题。文中数次出现直接引语，在最后一段中出现了“We asked”。由此判断这篇文章是广播电台或电视台的记者写的。

答案： B

Every summer there are a few reports of shark attacks.Here are the facts：sharks live in the water，and when people go into the water they become a potential food source for sharks.Sharks attack humans for the fact that they are trying to survive.Still，shark attacks are not common，and if you head to the beach your chances of getting eaten are n’t very high.Most sharks，especially those close to shore，are n’t big enough to threaten you.

The whale shark is the largest shark in the world at a maximum length of around fifty feet.However，the whale shark is a filter feeder (滤食动物)，and unless you are plankton (浮游生物), you have nothing to fear from it.

Sharks are dangerous animals，and if you decide to go into the water you are entering their area.But the sad truth is that sharks have far more to fear from humans than we do from them.Illegal fishing practices have decreased the shark populations around the world，and few species go unscathed．When a shark attacks a human they are only trying to survive，but humans have destroyed the shark populations for no reason other than greed.As much as you may fear sharks，they are a very important part of the natural world.With proper education and conservation efforts many species can come back，but only if enough people are interested in making a difference.

A healthy fear of sharks or any wild animal is a good thing.It reminds us of our place in the world，and maybe it keeps us a little more humble.And，remember，the surest way to avoid a shark attack is to stay out of the water!

语篇解读文章主要讲的是目前人类和鲨鱼之间的关系，鲨鱼袭击人类，它们是为了生存，但人类有办法避免此类事件的发生。

5．What do we know about the whale shark according to the passage?

A．It is the second largest shark in the world.

B．It mainly feeds on plankton in the oceans.

C．It can grow to a maximum length of 40 feet.

D．It is the most dangerous animal for humans.

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“However，the whale shark is a filter feeder，and unless you are plankton，you have nothing to fear from it”这句话可

知鲸鲨主要以浮游生物为食，所以答案选B项。

答案： B

6．What does the underlined word “unscathed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Uninjured. B．Extinct.

C．Popular. D．Unexpected.

解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第三段的“Illegal fishing practices have decreased the shark populations around the world”可推测很少物种没有受到过伤害，unscathed意为“未受伤害的，未受损伤的”，与A项同义，所以答案选A项。

答案： A

7．It is implied in the last paragraph that________．

A．humans should stop killing any wild animals

B．humans should take good care of all wild animals

C．humans should live in harmony with wild animals

D．humans should not fear sharks or any other kind of wild animal

解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知人们对鲨鱼及其他野生动物常常感到恐惧，这对野生动物的保护是有好处的，最起码人类不敢盲目行动，由此可推断人类应与野生动物和谐相处，所以答案选C项。

答案： C

8．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Protective efforts have n’t made any difference so far.

B．Humans have more to fear from sharks than they do from us.

C．The shark populations have decreased greatly because of human greed.

D．Humans have become greedier ever since sharks began to attack humans.

解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“When a shark...other than greed”这句话可知因为人类的贪婪，鲨鱼的数量在急剧减少，所以答案选C项。

答案： C
