How to celebrate Thanksgiving Day D. Thanksgiving Day for presidents答案解析:答案为A。本题考查文章的标题。全文报道了即将卸任的总统Bush
46、和新选举的总统Obama各自在感恩节做的事情。故答案为A。2. The underlined word “squeeze” in paragraph 2 is closest to _A. force B. push C. join D. take答案解析:答案为C。本题为词义猜测题。结合下文的第三段 “On a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. The other, promising cha
47、nge, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.”可知,“one man”指的是第一段提到的President George Bush,他和家人一起要去遥远的山顶;“The other”指的是第二段提到的President-elect Barack Obama,他在繁忙的城市中,周围都是人。可以推断,第二段写的是新选举的总统Obama加入了圣诞节的购物潮中,因此squeeze意思最接近 “join”,故答案为C。3. Which of the following is NOT right according to
48、 the passge?A. Bush is thought highly of by the people in the article.B. Bushs daughters are 27 years old now.C. Obama visited some of the people who needed help.D.

49、gned for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family.”可知,“one man”在历史上不受欢迎,结合上题的分析,“one man”指的是Bush,因此A选项“文中人们对Bush评价很高”错误,故答案为A。 第九段写的是Bush, 由文中 “He gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he
50、 gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters two Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago”可知,B、D选项符合文意。由第四段 “Dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy at a Chicago church”可知,C选项符合文意。 4. The passage suggests that _A Its a
51、tradition for a US president to spare a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.B On Thanksgiving Day, Obama mainly has a get-together with his family and friends.C Obama asked his two daughters to make contribution to the US economy.D Bush thinks it a honour and also a pity to be the US president.答案解析:答案为A。本题为细
52、节推理题,解答此题可用排除法。由第十一段 “This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 and a chance for a little lesson for the kids.”可知,Obama利用这个机会和妻子孩子团聚,没有和朋友一起,故B选项错误。C、D选项未提。因此只有选择A选项“对于美国总统来说感恩节放飞火鸡是一种传统”,文中第八段提到 “For Bush, his final Thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared the Thanksgiving turkey, Pumpkin, on Wednesday.” 由此可知,A选项是正确的。
