（A）

T he United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honoured by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.

T he origin of Father’s Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father’s Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington.

The president of the Chicago branch（分部）of the Lions’Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated the first Father’s Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek’s own birthday!

R egardless of when the first true Father’s Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother.

I n 1909, Mrs Dodd approached her own minister and others in Spokane about having

a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father’s birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.

S tates and organizations began lobbying（游说）Congress to declare an annual Father’s Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 that President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to “establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations”. Since then, fathers had been honoured and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June.

W hen children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical（奇形怪状的，异想天开的）so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.

T hanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.

T hanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are get 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（跪）down and thanked

God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.

T he 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.

I n 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 last Thursday of November in 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 Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

B. Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on Thanksgiving celebrations.

C. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks to God.

D. There’s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrate

Thanksgiving Day.

1. B

解析：①come about发生，一般用于疑问句中，如：How did the difference come about 还

可用于句型How does it come about that …本题就是此句型的简略形式，即省略了that引导的从句。②happen / occur多指偶然或突然发生的事情，是意料之外的事情。如：A bad accident happened to me yesterday. Many accidents occurred in the home.

③take place多指“按计划或预计中”发生的事情。

2. D

解析：①dressed in a blue skirt过去分词短语作定语，修饰The girl。The girl

dressed in a blue skirt = The girl who is dressed in a blue skirt / The girl wearing a blue skirt。试比较：The girl was dressed in a white skirt. 那个女孩穿着一条白色的裙子。The girl is dressed up as a princess. 那个女孩被打扮成为一个公主。②have on 穿着，戴着，强调穿的状态，与wear同义，其后接表示衣服、帽子、鞋子等的名词，不能用进行时。如：On New Year’s Day children have on their new clothes. ③wear穿着，戴着，强调穿的状态或结果，还可用于指戴手表、首饰或留长发、胡子等。如：Lucy always wears a red coat. He wore a short beard.

3. C

解析：①praise称赞，赞扬②celebrate庆祝。如：We celebrated the New Year with

a party.

③congratulate祝贺。如：We congratulated her on passing the examination. ④trick哄骗。如：

She tricked me into paying for her meal at the restaurant. 根据题意“每个孩子在做好事时都

想被表扬”，故答案为C。

4. C

解析：此题考查固定搭配的用法。①in respect of关于。如：In respect of your request, five

dollars is credited to your account. ②with/for the purpose of 有······目的。如：Did you come to

London with the purpose of seeing my family ③in case of以防，万一。如：Take an umbrella

in case of rain. ④in memory of为了纪念。如：Many people died in the earthquake, so we built a monument in memory of the dead people. 故选C。

5. B

解析：本题考查动词近义词辨析。①collect收集、聚集（有目的性）。如：collect stamps / foreign coins ②select精选（在很多东西中认真考虑，仔细挑选）。如：He selected a shirt to match his suit. ③pick up捡起，收拾。如：Pick up the box by the handles. Please pick up all your toys when you’ve finished playing. ④

gather集合，聚拢。如：A crowd gathered to see what had happened. 结合题意“在奥运火炬传递中，成千上万的人聚集到街道两边”，故答案为B。

6. C

解析：①turn up出现。如：The missing bag turned up, completely empty, in the river. ②turn

down拒绝，调小。如：Turn down my offer / the radio. ③turn out证明是。如：His statement

turned out to be false. ④turn over考虑。如：The scientist turned an idea over in his mind. 结

They don’t allow you to smoke. ②hope希望，基本用法hope to do sth，不能说hope sb to do

sth。如：We are hoping to visit England this year. ③demand要求，基本用法demand to do sth，

想起，基本用法remind sb of sth和remind sb to do sth。如：The photo reminded me of my

school days. I reminded him to write back to his parents. 结合题意“小时候妈妈要求或提醒我们注意礼节”， demand搭配不对，故答案C正确。

9. B

解析：该题考查表示“请求”的英语口语表达。用will来向第二人称提问的疑问结构，表达一种意愿和请求，是以疑问的形式来表达较为婉转的祈使语气，意思是“请你……，好吗”。对于这种问句的肯定答语可用Sure! / Certainly! / Yes, of course. / I’d be glad to.等；否

定回答通常是I’m sorry I can’t. / No, I’m afraid I can’t. / I’m sorry, but … / I’d like to, but …

等。故答案为B。

10. A

解析：本题考查情态动词的用法。①must表示“偏偏，偏要”。②should表示“应该”，如：You should go to class right now. ③may表示“许可”，如：You may drive the car. ④can

表示“能力”等，如：Can you finish the work tonight 根据题意选A。

11. C

解析：根据句义这里需要“好像”的意思，like表示“像”时不是连词，是介词，不能连

接句子；as作为连词讲时意思是“当……时；与……一样”；as though意思是“好像，仿

佛”；even though意思是“即使”。句义为“整个国度到处是盛开的樱花，就好像被粉红色的雪覆盖着一样”。故选答案C。

12. B

解析：look forward to中的to是介词，所以后面需要加名词或者动名词，故选coming。

13. B

解析：本题考查对thank you的正确回应，That’s all.的意思是“就这些”，All right.的意思

是“好的”。No thanks.无此表达。故正确答案为Don’t mention it，用以表示不必道谢。

14. A

解析：be satisfied with …表示“对……满意”。

15. B

解析：offer sb sth给某人提供某物；suffer遭遇，经历；effort是名词，“努力，成就”的

意思；affact影响，感动；offer sb help意思是“给某人提供帮助”。
