According to the passage, in 1621 Thanksgiving was celebrated for______. [br]
When we think of Thanksgiving today, images of football, pumpkin pie, parades, and turkey dinner complete with cranberry sauce come to mind, as well as plans for a Black Friday shopping holiday the following day.(18-1)Of course none of these items were present back in 1621, when the Indian people and the Pilgrims sat down together to give thanks for nature’s bounty.(18-2)Although the celebrants at this particular meal didn’t even call it "Thanksgiving" , this particular harvest feast is the one after which we model our modern-day Thanksgiving celebrations. After 1621, future Thanksgiving celebrations occurred at various times throughout the year. George Washington declared a feast of Thanksgiving in 1789, and presidents issued similar yearly proclamations after that.(19)During the Civil War, poet Sarah Hale started a campaign to celebrate the holiday on the same day throughout the country. President Abraham Lincoln saw it as a way to unite the country, and in 1863 he proclaimed a national Thanksgiving celebration on the last Thursday in November. It was changed from the last Thursday to the third Thursday by Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 as a way to lengthen the Christmas shopping holiday. In 1941, Roosevelt finally changed the date to the fourth Thursday in November, proclaiming it a Federal holiday in 1941.
选项
A、Abraham Lincoln declared the first Thanksgiving feast.
B、A poet started the campaign to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
C、George Washington used Thanksgiving Day to unite the USA.
D、Abraham Lincoln announced Thanksgiving a national holiday.
答案
D
解析
情景事实题。根据句(19)可知,美国内战期间,诗人Sarah Hale发起运动,倡议全国在同一天庆祝感恩节,而林肯总统认为,这种方式有利于促进国家团结,因此宣布将感恩节设为全国性的节日,并把时间设定在每年11月的最后一个星期四。所以D是正确答案。
