Question

【題目】請閱讀下面短文, 從每小題所給的A,B,C三個選項中, 選出一個最佳選項。

Thanksgiving was just around the corner. The menu had been set. The shopping list was made. Everything seemed perfect. I could taste turkey and mashed potatoes（火雞和土豆泥）. Pictures of different pies, fruit and vegetables came into my mind. I couldn't wait！

The day before Thanksgiving my dad called a family meeting. He said we needed to practice being thankful. "We are going to help out at a homeless shelter（收容所）on Thanksgiving Day.” I couldn't believe this was happening. So we wouldn't cook our own Thanksgiving dinner. The holiday wouldn't be the same. I thought the day would be ruined.

The next morning. we got up early. I followed my father to the shelter with my sleepy eyes. I had no great expectations and felt down all the way. As soon as we arrived, we got to work. There was so much to be done. But all I could think about was the dinner I couldn't enjoy.

However, those thoughts soon disappeared. Over the next few hours, I watched hundreds of people come through the shelter. For some, this was the only hot meal they would eat that week. For others, it was the first time to eat a Thanksgiving meal. The shelter was filled with joy.

Through this experience, I learned that Thanksgiving is a time to think about your blessings（祝福）and look for ways to bless others. When I gave up what I had wanted, I discovered how much I have. It is much better to give than to receive. In the end, that Thanksgiving became an unforgettable experience.

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了作者對感恩節(jié)期待已久，不料爸爸在感恩節(jié)的前一天說感恩節(jié)去收容所去幫助那里的人做事情，作者很不情愿，但這對作者來說是一個難忘的感恩節(jié)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“The day before Thanksgiving my dad called a family meeting. He said we needed to practice being thankful.”感恩節(jié)前一天，我爸爸召集了一個家庭會議。他說我們需要練習(xí)感恩�？芍�，作者的父親決定在感恩節(jié)去收容所工作是因?yàn)樗�想讓家人學(xué)會感恩。故選B。

【2】詞句猜測。根據(jù)上文“So we wouldn't cook our own Thanksgiving dinner. The holiday wouldn't be the same.” 所以我們不會自己做感恩節(jié)晚餐。假期就不一樣了。可知作者認(rèn)為這一天會毀了。ruined的意思是“破滅的”。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解。Sleepy and unhappy.困倦的和不開心的； Quiet and peaceful.安靜和寧靜的；Excited and cheerful.激動和開朗的。根據(jù)文中“The next morning. we got up early. I followed my father to the shelter with my sleepy eyes. I had no great expectations and felt down all the way.” 第二天早上。我們起得很早。我睡眼惺忪地跟著父親來到庇護(hù)所。我沒有太大的期望，一路沮喪�？芍�，在去收容所工作之前，作者非常困倦和不開心的。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中“Through this experience, I learned that Thanksgiving is a time to think about your blessings（祝福）and look for ways to bless others. When I gave up what I had wanted, I discovered how much I have. It is much better to give than to receive. In the end, that Thanksgiving became an unforgettable experience.” 過這次經(jīng)歷，我了解到感恩節(jié)是一個思考你的祝福并尋找祝福他人的方式的時刻。當(dāng)我放棄我想要的，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我有多少。施比受好得多。最后，感恩節(jié)成了一次難忘的經(jīng)歷。可推斷出，從那時起，這位作家可能每年都去無家可歸者收容所。故選C。

【5】主旨大意。通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文主要講述了作者的父親決定在感恩節(jié)去收容所工作是因?yàn)樗�想讓家人學(xué)會感恩。可知，作者將會對生活心存感激，想辦法祝福別人。故選B。
