Question

A

      On Thanksgiving Day,about 88  percent Americans eat turkey. But one lucky turkey not only will not be eaten but also will become famous. Every year,turkey farmers present turkeys to the US president. But instead of eating this turkey,the president gives it a “pardon”. The turkey is flown to Florida for a Thanksgiving Parade. Then it lives on the farm for the rest of its life.

     Turkeys come from America and have been part of American culture for centuries. Benjamin Franklin even wanted the turkey to be America's national bird.

      Turkeys that are kept on farms are large,awkward birds that can not fly. But wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at the speed of up to 88 kilometers per hour. They can also run at 40 kilometers per hour.

     Turkeys don't have ears. They hear by using the growth of beaks. But their hearing is about five times better than human’s  hearing.

     Turkeys are such interesting birds. No wonder Benjamin Franklin wanted them to be America's national bird.

Answer 1

A 閱讀提示:我們都知道大多數美國人在感恩節(jié)吃火雞，然而一只幸運火雞被總統(tǒng)救免成為感恩節(jié)大游行的明星也是美國的風俗。飼養(yǎng)的火雞大而笨拙，但是它們也與其他的鳥類有不同的方面。因此本杰明.富蘭克林曾提議把火雞作為美國的國鳥。

1. C細節(jié)理解題。由文章的第一句的句意“在感恩節(jié)，88%的美國人吃火雞”可知在感恩節(jié)大多數美國人吃火雞。

2. A詞義猜測題。由該段的第二句話可知“一只幸運火雞不但不被吃掉，而且還會變得非常有名”;又下文也提到這只火雞飛往佛 羅里達參加感恩節(jié)大游行，因此畫線單詞所在句的句意為:但是總統(tǒng)不是吃掉這只火雞，而是赦免它。故選A項。

3. A 細節(jié)理解題。由第三段的“But wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at speeds up to 88 kilometers per hour. ”可知 A 項正確。

4. B細節(jié)理解題。由第四段的“Turkeys don't have ears. ”可知火雞沒有耳朵。

5. D綜合分析題。本文重點敘述了幸運火雞不會被吃掉，而是參加感恩節(jié)大游行，一舉成名。故選D項。
