On Thanksgiving Day, families across the United States usually gather for a holiday dinner. It’s a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, when English settlers celebrated their first harvest in the New World. They shared the table with Native Americans, without whom they might have died that first year as they had no food to eat.On the past Thanksgiving Day, the restaurant at the National Museum of the American Indian offered a taste of Native American food that most Americans wouldn't normally eat during their Thanksgiving feast. The museum’s Mitsitam Café is famous in Washington for serving great food.“We always learn something new,” said Marjorie Hass, a waiter at the restaurant. “So, you get to have a delicious lunch and you learn a lot.”The museum celebrates Native American history and culture. And Manager Richard Hetzler often offers good culture lessons for visitors to take home for Thanksgiving dinner. “We want people to eat seasonally,” Hetzler said. “We want them to know what Native Americans probably would have been eating at that time.” On Thankgiving Day in the Northeastern United States, that means squash, pumpkins and root vegetables, including some unusual ones.Hetzler wants to encourage people to be a little adventurous. So, the restaurant provided the buttermilk-fried alligator(短吻鳄). “People, because of being in the museum, become very generous eaters, or they like to try different things that they might not want to try somewhere else,”he said. OK, so there was no alligator at the first Thanksgiving. That’s a Southern thing. Hetzler admits they could alter the Thanksgiving menu each year, which means things on the menu may be a little different each year. But they serve the traditional turkey and cranberry sauce each year.1. What do families across the United States usually do on Thanksgiving Day? (no more than 8 words)2.

CWhat would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s Cathedral to widen the road? Or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation (毁灭) of the natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be…or we’ll be in a lot of trouble.Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodlan d is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity.Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edwar d O. Wilson, known as the “father of biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will become irreversible (不可挽回的).”But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague. People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has launched the Biodiversity100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing,stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes (wild dogs) in Australia, among many other things.There is a lot to do. And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t sustain life!61.The writer thinks it ________ to pull down Big Ben to make way for a car park. A．unreasonable B．necessary C．difficult D．essential62.The underlined sentence “Nature is shrinking by the day.” means that ________. A．nature is badly polluted by humansB．species are becoming fewer and fewer day by dayC．rainforests are being cut down every dayD．nature is full of mysteries63.Edward O. Wilson thinks that ________.A．it doesn’t matter to reduce biodiversityB．people have done enough to preserve biodiversityC．the situation of biodiversity is very seriousD．biodiversity loss has become irreversible64.When it comes to biodiversity, the present problem is that ________.A．people might not clearly know what is biodiversity and what should be protected B．people are not aware that giant pandas are endangeredC．people don’t realize that biodiversity is vital to everyday lifeD．people hunt sea creatures for food65.What does the under lined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．The UK government. B．The concept of biodiversity.C．The action to deal with the problem. D．The Guardian newspaper.Keys: 61-65 ABCAD第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

CWhat would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s Cathedral to widen the road? Or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation (毁灭) of the natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be…or we’ll be in a lot of trouble.Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodlan d is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity.Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edwar d O. Wilson, known as the “father of biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will become irreversible (不可挽回的).”But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague. People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has launched the Biodiversity100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing,stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes (wild dogs) in Australia, among many other things.There is a lot to do. And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t sustain life!61.The writer thinks it ________ to pull down Big Ben to make way for a car park.

CI had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive (连续的）days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁）calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的）woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course－keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.61. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A. They lived out a natural life.B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane rides.C. They weren’t used to the change in weather.D. They died due to lack of care by family members.62. The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because .A. he wanted to comfort the two familiesB. he was an official from the communityC. he had great pity for the deceasedD. he was minister of the local church63. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because .A. they couldn’t find a better way to express their sorrowB. they believe that they were responsibleC. they had neglected the natural course of eventsD. they didn’t know things often turned out in the opposite direction64. According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that .A. everything in the world is predeterminedB. the world can be interpreted in different waysC. there's an explanation for everything in the worldD. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world65. What’s the idea of the passage?A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery.B. Every story should have a happy ending.C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.Keys: 61-65 ADBCC第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
