问题               Feast On Turkey and Good Wishes at Thanksgiving
   Four weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets. That was Halloween. In a few weeks American houses will be red and green and filled with presents for Christmas.
   As if all this isn’t enough, on Thursday this week, America will enjoy another festival— Thanksgiving.
   Children will have two days off school, shops will close and houses will be filled with families enjoying mountains of food.
   Every year, in Gainesville, Florida, all entire class celebrate Thanksgiving together. The class dresses up and puts on plays for their families. After the plays the families share a feast of traditional Thanksgiving foods like turkey and pumpkin pie.     Dean Foster, an 11-year-old boy will take part in this celebration. He said, "I love Thanksgiving because it means time off school, lots of nice food and a happy family."
   His brother Ben, nine, said, "the best thing about Thanksgiving, is that when it is finished, it is time to start Christmas."
   But behind the food and the large amount of money spent there is another message. On Thursday evening, Dean and Ben’s family will make a basket and put it on the table as they eat their evening meal.
    Each of them will write a list of things that they are thankful for and place the paper in the basket. The family will read the pieces of paper and take time to thank God and each other for providing them with comfortable and happy lives.
   Thanksgiving is a traditional festival that started in 1621, when the first pilgrims arrived in the US to start a new life. After a hard year, they had a big autumn harvest. They held a feast and invited the native American Indians along to thank God for giving them enough food.
   Many countries celebrate Thanksgiving. They often fall after the fields have been harvested and the crops collected for winter.

选项 A、ghosts
B、players
C、pilgrims
D、visitors
答案A
解析 该题问“在10月31日之夜，美国儿童常常打扮成什么样子?”首先利用问题中的特征词Halloween作为答案线索，这样很快在文章第2句中找到涉及到答案相关句：That was Halloween．代词that提示我们应该接着看前面的句子：Four weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets．这句话中出现了与问题句中的核心结构children in the United States呼应的结构，因此判断这个句子需要认真看，这个句子说“四周前，美国儿童打扮成怪物，四处要糖吃。”鬼/ghosts跟怪物/monsters比较接近，所以A正确。
