12．On the fourth Sunday of every November，most Americans get together around the dinner table to celebrate Thanksgiving．Special traditions in the US have been around for many years．（41）CThese are four popular Thanksgiving traditions and how they started．
（42）EThe first Thanksgiving meal was in the autumn of 1621 when the first travelers from England celebrated their first harvest （收獲）．But it wasn't made into an official （官方的）holiday until 1863．The first large meal had turkey，fruits and vegetables，which are still common today．
（43）AHistorians say the first travelers invited Native Americans （美洲印第安人）to the meal to thank them for teaching them how to grow food．Today at the large meal，friends and family will also say what they are most thankful for．
（44）FThe parade （游行）includes very large balloons that look like cartoon characters and beautiful floats （花車）that carry famous people．There are also many musical performances to watch．This parade started in 1924，and today over 44 million people watch it on TV or in New York City．
（45）BPeople started to watch football on Thanksgiving a few years after the day
became an official holiday．Today，the National Football League takes advantage of this popularity and hosts three NFL games every Thanksgiving．

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從方框屮選出五個(gè)句子填入文中空缺處，使短文內(nèi)容完整正確．
A．Giving thanks is what the holiday is all about．
B．American football is something people both watch and play with their family on Turkey Day．
C．However，some people don't always stop to think about where the traditions came from．
D．Here is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner．
E．A large meal is the important event every Thanksgiving．
F．Every year，there is a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City．

分析 本文是介紹十一月的第四個(gè)周日感恩節(jié)，感恩就是這個(gè)節(jié)日的主題．美國(guó)有很多傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣，這里介紹了四個(gè)最受歡迎的感恩節(jié)傳統(tǒng)以及它們的由來(lái)．

解答 CEAFB
41．C．推理題．結(jié)合前后文關(guān)鍵詞是traditions傳統(tǒng)，故However，some people don't always stop to think about where the traditions came from．一些人總是思考這些傳統(tǒng)來(lái)自哪里，下文具體的說(shuō)說(shuō)四個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，故選C．
42．E．推理題．根據(jù)下文The first Thanksgiving meal was in the autumn of 1621 when the first travelers from England celebrated their first harvest 說(shuō)的是第一個(gè)感人節(jié)大餐，故A large meal is the important event every Thanksgiving一個(gè)大餐是重要事件，故選E．
43．A．推理題．根據(jù)下文Historians say the first travelers invited Native Americans （美洲印第安人）to the meal to thank them for teaching them how to grow food．Today at the large meal，friends and family will also say what they are most thankful for．是說(shuō)過(guò)去的人和現(xiàn)在的人對(duì)不同的事情表示感恩，故可知這里是說(shuō)感恩是主題，故Giving thanks is what the holiday is all about．故選A．
44．F．推理題．根據(jù)下文The parade （游行）includes very large balloons that look like cartoon characters and beautiful floats （花車）that carry famous people是介紹游行，故Every year，there is a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City．每年紐約都有感恩節(jié)游行，故選F．
45．B．推理題．根據(jù)下文People started to watch football on Thanksgiving人們開(kāi)始看足球，故上文American football is something people both watch and play with their family on Turkey Day．人們觀看和踢足球，故選B．

17．Helen Keller was an American educator and journalist，who became one of the leading humanitarians in the history of the United States．Born on June 27，1880 in Tuscumbia，a small town in Alabama，Keller was stricken with a childhood disease that left her deaf，and blind．The illness Keller suffered （遭受） is a mystery to this day．Unable to see，or hear，Keller became difficult to deal with as her behaviour was described as wild by her family and friends．
Soon Keller and her family developed their own type of sign language that allowed them to communicate with each other．Helen's mother needed help for her anguished （痛苦的） child，which eventually led to Anne Sullivan，who was a recent graduate （畢業(yè)生） of the Perkins Institute for the Blind．The school had been successful in the past in educating blind students，and Sullivan was one of its star graduates．Once Sullivan and Keller got through the difficult beginnings，their friendship，and association （合作） lasted for 49 years．
Keller was determined to become educated，and to teach herself to communicate．After attending several schools，she became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree．She became very well-known，and began a lecture tour where she made speeches on social and political issues，including women's suffrage （選舉權(quán)），and birth control．Also she required the government to raise awareness to the situation of the blind．She devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind．
On September 14，1964，President Lyndon B．Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom，one of the United States'two highest civilian honours．In 1999，Keller was listed in Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century．

1．Good communication skills are key to success in life，work and relationships．Without effective （有效的） communication，a message can turn into error，misunderstanding，or even disaster．
  Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people．To communicate well is to understand and to be understood．Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information．
  In today's highly informational and technological environment，it has become more important to have good communication skills．Here are some important steps to communicate effectively：
  Know what you want to say and why．Understand clearly the purpose of your message．Know to whom you are communicating and why．
  How will you say it？We all know that it's not always what you say，but how you say it，that matters．Begin by making eye contact．You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak．Second，pay attention to your body language，since it can say so much more than your words．By standing with your arms easily at your side，you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say．
  Communication is a two-way street．After you have said what you have to say，stop and listen．Practice your listening skills．Be considerate of other speakers by waiting until they've finished．While others are talking，listen carefully and never cut them off．
Definition of communication Communication is the process by which exchange information （71）betweenpeople．
Some （72）advantages for paying attention to communication skills  l  Key to success in life，work and relationships
l  Helping to understand each other
l  Being of much （73）importance at present as a result of the highly information and technology environment
Some steps to have an effective communication l  Have a （74）clearunderstanding of what your purposes，listers and reasons are．

2．Globalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act．
Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization．Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good．Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer．These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destory（破壞）local businesses．However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer．They also think that it doesn't destory local cultures．These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars．This is because countries with economic（經(jīng)濟(jì)的）connections will try hard to keep good relationahips so that their economies aren't destroyed．
Whether you think globalization is good or bad，it affects the world in two areas：jobs and cultures．
Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the would．For some workers，such as engincers，lawyers and bankers，globalization has been a good development．These workers are able to successfully compete（競(jìng)爭(zhēng)）globally and have seen an incrase in their pay．But for those who work in factories or in the aervice industry（at hotels，shops and restaurants），it has not been good．Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs．They will do the same job for less money．This decreases the pay for that job，so people get paid less to do it．
Cultures have also been affected by globalization．Foods such as Japanese noodles，Inaian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world．We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（漢字）in tattoos（文身）．Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean．Globalization also affects the film industry．Most people have seen American movies．But because of globalization，Korean．Indian and Japanese movies have become more wouldwide．
No one knows the future of globalization．Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future．
38．Some people think giobalization is good because it mayD．
A．change local cultures                   
B．help local businesses develop
C．make rich people become richer          
D．help stop wars among countries
39．According to Paragraph 4we knowC．
A．engineers will get a lower pay            
B．people can get favourite jobs more easily
C．globalization greatly affects people's jobs   
D．workers from rich countries get paid less
40．Globalization helps people in the worldD．
A．know Chinese characters very well        
B．go to different countries for movies
C．own the same culture in the end           
D．Enjoy foods from different countries
41．What can we infer（推斷）from the passage？C
A．Globalization is sure to do good to people．
B．Globalization will be limited in the future．
C．Globalization may change people's in the future．
D．Globalization will be loved throughout the would．
