分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了感恩節(jié)的由來以及在美國和加拿大慶祝感恩節(jié)的差別．

解答 29．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段1，2行Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival．This is why it is celebrated in late fall，after the crops are in．可知感恩節(jié)是在秋天進行的，故C正確．
30．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段前4行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）．說明慶祝感恩節(jié)的是來自歐洲的清教徒，故A正確．
31．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段最后2行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．這些人只是邀請印第安人過來一起慶祝．并不是印第安人也這樣．故C項說法是錯誤的．
32．B．主旨大意題．根據(jù)第一段Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada．Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing可知本文主要講述的是感恩節(jié)的由來以及在美國和加拿大慶祝感恩節(jié)的差別．故B正確．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

19．Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but they also turn you into a workaholic （工作狂）．A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times，the all-singing，all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day．
Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study by technology retailer Pixmania，shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers confess （坦白） they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．
Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said，"The ability to access millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones valuable for many people．However，there are drawbacks．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work．The more constantly in contact we become，the more is expected of us in a work capacity （容量）．"

25．The text is probably taken fromC．
A．a(chǎn) scientific report          
B．a(chǎn) financial report  
C．a(chǎn) newspaper             
D．a(chǎn) travel journal
26．The underlined word"drawbacks"in the last paragraph probably meansB．
A．disagreements               
B．disadvantages          
C．mistakes                 
D．features
27．Ghadi may agree thatC．
A．employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a day
B．the ability to access many apps made smart phones worthless
C．smart phones might turn a person into a workaholic
D．people cannot get away from work without smart phones
28．What is the main idea of this passage？A
A．Smart phones are lengthening working hours．
B．Smart phones are becoming valuable for many people．
C．Britons work an additional 460hours a year on average．
D．Smart phones are more beneficial to our life than we think．
