B If you learned about Thanksgiving in an American elementary school, chances are that the holiday is in honor of how the Pilgrim (清教徒) of Plymouth, Mass, celebrated the harvest by enjoying a dinner with their friendly Indian neighbors. This story is inspired by a real 1621 meal, which reflects neither the 17th century nor the 21st century understanding of it. An 1889 novel that described Thanksgiving as an outdoor feast became a best-seller. The growing Ad industry helped spread popular images of the tale. By the 1920s, Thanksgiving was the most talked-about holiday in U.S. classrooms. The parts that made the colonists (殖民者) look bad were left out. However, many classrooms are beginning to change. And on a recent Saturday morning in 湖北省重点高中智学联盟2022 年春季高二年级5 月联考英语试卷（共9 页）第4页 Washington D.C., about two dozen teachers went to the National Museum of the American Indian to learn a better way to teach the Thanksgiving story. When Gokey, the museum’s teacher-services worker, explained that early Thanksgivings celebrated the burning of a Pequot village in 1637 and the killing of Wampanoag leader Massasoit’s son, listeners felt shocked. “I look back now and realize I was teaching a lot of wrong facts and ideas,” Tonia Parker, a second-grade teacher told TIME. Teachers like the ones at the workshop know that change is coming, and state social-studies standards increasingly encourage students to look at history from multiple angles. Moreover, teaching a better lesson about thankfulness is something anyone can support. At the workshop in Washington, after learning something new, participants learned to say “Wado”. That Cherokee word means “Thank you”. 24. What did Americans learn about Thanksgiving from the elementary school? A. It was first celebrated in 1889. B. It was a family feast for the Pilgrims. C. It reflected the real history of the 17th century. D. It showed the friendship between the Pilgrims and Indians. 25. Why did some teachers go to the National Museum of the American Indian? A. To confirm the importance of the holiday. B. To prepare for the changing of the classroom. C. To find a more appropriate way to teach Thanksgiving. D. To correct their misunderstanding about Thanksgiving. 26. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. All Americans support teaching a better lesson about thankfulness. B. Lessons about thankfulness are increasingly popular. C. Participants at the workshop learned to support each other. D. Students are encouraged to see history from different aspects. 27. What would be the best title of the text? A. The Importance of Thanksgiving Education B. Thanksgiving: a Holiday with a Hidden Truth C. Thanksgiving: a Holiday Popularized by a Novel D. The Reform of Education in American Classrooms C In the winter of 1985, my hometown, Buffalo, experienced a blizzard (暴风雪)— not an uncommon occurrence for the region. But this was a big one, and the city’s mayor, Jimmy Griffin, was at pains to persuade people to stop trying to go about their business as conditions worsened. He urged Buffalo
