26、Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
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）. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed（宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

A. in spring B. summer

27、第三部分：阅读理解（共20题；
阅读下列短文，从每题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
You have heard the expression “horse sense”. As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.
Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the use of horses. Modern vehicles are propelled by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things.
In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.
【1】The passage mainly talks about ______.
A．engines
B．safe driving
C．using horses
D．modern machines
【2】The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means ______.
A．repair
B．raise
C．push forward
D．made
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A．a driver must know the rules of safety
B．a driver needs to be able only to tell red from green
C．an eye test is an important part of a driver’s examination
D．greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine
【4】Which of the following is NOT true?
A．A driver must be able to see and hear well.
B．The driver of a car must follow the rules of safety.
C．Horses are known to have saved their drivers from injury.
D．It is better for vehicles to be pulled by horse than to be pushed by engine.
28、Schools in US are huge consumers (消费者) of energy. According to ENERGY STAR, K-12 schools spend more than $ 6 billion every year on energy, far more than the amount spent on other resources, and at least 30 percent of this energy is used inefficiently or needlessly.
Realizing that, some schools are looking for measures to save energy in several ways, from low-cost adjustments, such as turning off lights in unused rooms, to large-scale projects, such as turning to green equipment.
As solar energy (太阳能) is becoming a more financial choice for powering buildings, more schools are making the move toward the renewable energy and using solar panels (电池板) on their rooftops. According to an online solar marketplace Energy Sage, schools have their strong points to use solar energy. They often have the kind of enough space, suitable locations that are perfect for setting up solar panels.
In September 2020, a nonprofit Generation 180 released its third edition of a study on solar use in US schools. The findings showed that more than 7,300, or 55 percent, of K-12 public and private schools used solar energy, the number has increased by 81 percent since 2014.
They also described how solar schools were saving millions in energy bills, and provided several cases to show the increased savings achieved by solar-powered school districts. For example, an Arkansas school used its every year’s energy savings of nearly $ 100,000 to increase its teachers’ salaries.
The Interstate Renewable Energy Council, which tracks the number of K-12 schools with solar equipment and helps schools go solar, says on its website that schools with solar setups have an opportunity to educate students about clean energy, and show them that they are doing something for students’ and the planet’s health and future.
Third-party ownership also makes funding for 79 percent of schools to use solar energy possible, meaning a majority of schools don’t have to spend large amounts of money but can get the rewards of solar energy.
【1】How does the author lead in the topic of the text in the first paragraph?
A．By giving an example.
B．By raising a problem.
C．By offering an evidence.
D．By making a comparison.
【2】What is the advantage of using solar energy for the schools in the US?
A．Enough space to fix solar equipment.
B．Fund support from solar marketplace.
C．Free access to using solar energy.
D．Being the largest consumers of the energy.
【3】What effect does using solar energy have on the schools?
A．Increasing their operating expense.
B．Threatening their teachers’ income.
C．Raising the students’ environmental awareness.
D．Reducing their total amount of energy consuming.
【4】Which word can best describe the schools’ using solar energy?
A．Supportive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Cautious.
D．Worrying.
29、In a new study released last week，researchers analyzed data from two large-scale surveys about how Americans spend their time.
The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being—but only up to a point. People who had up to two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who’d had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.
“While too little time is bad，having more time is not always better，”said Marissa Sharif, an assistant professor of marketing at The Wharton School and lead author of the paper, in a press release. Of course, most people know that being too busy can cause stress. But the new study is not the first to question whether more free time will actually make people as happy as they believe it will. Experts note，for example，that some adults struggle with the “retirement blues”, which can be due to a lack of stimulation and structure among other things.
“Sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities. Study participants believed theft well-being would suffer if they spend the free time unproductively.
“Of course，what feels ‘productive’ is up to you. If watching two hours of ‘Real Housewives’ in your free time increases your happiness，you should do that. The point of all of this is self-care，not shame. In other words，how people use their free time matters.” Sharif added.
【1】What feeling can be inferred from “retirement blues”?
A．Thrilled.
B．Depressed.
C．Amazed.
D．Disappointed.
【2】Why did the researchers conduct the experiments?
A．To prove people’s attitude towards free time matters.
B．To argue which survey has the convincing finding.
C．To make participants spend their spare time wisely.
D．To tell people less free time can actually cause stress.
【3】What does the underlined word “productive” in Para. 5 refer to?
A．Helping you reduce unnecessary stress.
B．Finishing more work within fixed time.
C．Making you feel good about yourself.
D．Ensuring you to take good care of yourself.
【4】What’s the text mainly about?
A．“Sweet spot” is concerned with people’s well-being.
B．More free time enables people to be much happier.
C．Productive activities make people save more time.
D．Proper spare time boosts people’s sense of happiness.

30、With consumers growing increasingly upset with online advertising and privacy concerns, how do you convince shoppers to believe your description, _________ your product?
A recent report by a software review company that connects buyers and sellers may be able to _________ some light. It turns out that it may actually benefit brands to be painfully _________ about their products.
Consumer awareness of influencer marketing strategies (网红营销策略) is increasing. _________, most consumers trust online _________ as much as recommendations from friends. Feedback (反馈) from common people, it seems, actually carries more _________ than a brand ambassador (品牌大使).
Transparency (透明度) is significant. The report found that there is a large trust _________ between sellers and buyers. While sellers believe they are transparent, most buyers don’t appear to see it. During the sales process, 85 percent of sellers _________ to be open about their product’s limitations, but only 36 percent of buyers share that same view. The reality is, consumers never expect any products to be _________; they just want to ____________ the options that are best for them. They also want brands to be more ____________. 66 percent of consumers say they will leave a company if they feel they are being treated like a number and not an individual.
Along with fake (假的) news, advertising fraud (诈骗), and data leaks (泄露), there have been fake reviews as well. Many sellers are using the platform to ____________ Amazon with positive reviews that aren’t from real buyers, making building trust even more difficult. Review sites have been ____________ giving preferential treatment to paid advertisers and consumers are increasingly discerning (有辨别能力的), as a result.
____________, review sites are not our only source of reviews, with social media providing customer experiences on a second-to-second basis. When brands treat every ____________ with a customer as a potential review, they’ll start paying attention to delivering a valued and memorable experience every time. Taking feedback ____________ also lets current customers feel valued and respected, thus making your business seem more approachable. This helps get ____________, and these customers will become brand ambassadors to their friends and people they meet online.
The challenge for brands today is determining how to use the ____________ of the consumer to their advantage. In an age of advanced technology, artificial intelligence, and self-service customer care, it’s odd to admit that the best way to build trust with your customers is by holding an open ____________ with them. Being more human, transparent, and listening to what people are saying will see your company ____________ in an age marked by consumer suspicion (怀疑).
