On Thanksgiving Day, most of us will sit down to enjoy a turkey dinner. The bird also shows up on the table at Christmas. How did we start with the tradition of savoring turkeys during the holidays?
They were fresh, cheap, and big enough to feed a group of people. Americans like having large poultry(家禽) for celebrations because they don’t need to pay a lot for the birds. Cows were more useful alive than dead, and beef wasn’t widely offered until the late 19th century. Chicken was more highly regarded than it is today. Venison(鹿肉) would have been another choice, especially during the 17th and 18th centuries. Eating turkey was also a British holiday custom people brought to the New World.
Among the big birds, turkey is the most suitable for Thanksgiving. Turkeys were born in the spring. They spend about seven months eating insects on the farm. By Thanksgiving, they have grown to about 10 pounds. Turkeys are cheaper than geese, which are more difficult to raise, and cheaper by the pound than chickens. Cost is an important factor for holiday shoppers, because people will not prepare just one meal. Thanksgiving Day is the time to bake meal and other types of pies. The foods can last through the winter.
1.The underlined word “savour” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________” in Chinese.
A. 欣赏 B. 享用 C. 饲养 D. 清洁
2.Why do Americans enjoy eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day?
A. Turkeys were fresh. B. Turkeys were big.

3.How long do turkeys grow to about 10 pounds?
A. About three months. B. About eight months.
C. About one year. D. About eleven months.
4.What were more useful alive than dead?
A. Cows. B. Chicken. C. Turkeys. D. Geese.
5.The underlined word “factor” can be replaced by “________”.
A. opinion B. thing C. thought D. reason

British singer-song writer James Blunt shot to fame in 2005 with his single You're Beautiful and album(专辑) Back To Bedlam, and since then he remained the top of the UK singles chart.
Before James Blunt became a musician, he served in the army to fight for Queen and country. He spent four and a half years there, with six months in Kosovo as part of the peacekeeping force. Before leaving the army, Blunt had decided to achieve his dream of becoming a musician. In 2003, he was discovered by music producer Linda Perry who signed him to her Custard label. However the road to success never runs smoothly. It seemed that he would become another struggling singer trying to live from hand to mouth (勉强维持生计) when his first two singles failed to make an impact on the British charts. But everything changed when his third single You're Beautiful made it all the way to No.1 on the UK singles charts, and remained there for five weeks. The album Back to Bedlam soon followed and quickly became one of the biggest selling records of the year, remaining then continual weeks at No.1. Since then, he has sold more than three million records, making him the first British artist to top the American singles charts in nearly a decade.
Blunt, 34, a throwback (返祖者) to the 1970s softrock golden age, has been quoted by Western media as saying that he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street.
His success proves a lasting theory: You spend years chasing the right song. Then, if you're lucky, and if the song really takes off, you spend the rest of your life trying to escape it, or learning to live with it, a few years removed from You're Beautiful, he can still fill stages worldwide with fans who stay until the end.

2.Which of the following can describe James Blunt's life as a musician before he sang the song You're Beautiful ?
A.Difficult B.Happy
C.Boring D.Smooth
3.We can infer from the last paragraph that_________.
A.Blunt is well-known in the world for his talent.
B.Blunt's fame as a musician came easily.
C.Blunt wasn't lucky enough to win his fans' support.
D.Blunt has to face the inconvenience that his fame has caused.
