"Most of all," he said, "I thank the American people for the tremendous privilege of serving as the president."
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.
"I want them to learn the importance of how fortunate they are and to make sure they're giving back," he said of bringing the girls to the church.
And what's he thankful for?
"I just want you to know what I'm thankful for is my family and my friends and my community," he told the schoolchildren. "That's the most important thing."
1. The best title of the passage should be _______
A. Thanksgiving for Bush and Obama
B. Thanksgiving Day
C. 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 change, 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。
