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、How to celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the USA.
B、The American definition of Thanksgiving Day.
C、The process that Thanksgiving Day became a national holiday.
D、The reason Presidents proclaimed Thanksgiving Day.
答案
C
解析
主题总结题。本文首先介绍了感恩节的来历;然后介绍了该节日逐步成为固定节日的过程;最后介绍了感恩节日期的变更以及最终成为联邦假日的过程。因此本文的主题是讲述感恩节一步步走向公共假日的过程。A、B、D三个选项相对较为片面。所以C是正确答案。
