Unit 2 Let's celebrate The American tradition of Thanksgiving dates back to colonial times, to the Pilgrims ( 清 教 徒 ) of Plymouth rock Colony. To escape religious persecution in England, the Pilgrims journeyed to the New World on their ship, the Mayflower. After a long journey, they finally arrived at Plymouth Rock in autumn of 1620.They could not finish building the settlement before winter, so many froze to death. They ate most of their food on the journey over, so many also starved. However, the Pilgrims met a Native American named Tisquantum, or Squanto as he was better known, who taught them how to plant corn and catch eel (鳗鱼). By the same time next year, the Pilgrims had built a steady settlement, and had a bountiful harvest. To thank the Native Americans for their help and to celebrate the harvest, the Pilgrims held a grand banquet. Together, they feasted on corn, yams, fish, and most importantly, roast turkey, which became the highlight of the modern Thanksgiving feast.美国感恩节的传统可以追溯到殖民时代，和普利茅斯岩石殖民地的朝圣者有关。[知识点击]1．colonial adj. 殖民地的2．persecution n. 迫害 3．bountiful adj. 丰富的；大量的4．banquet n. 盛宴 5．highlight n. 最好(或最精彩、最激动人心)的部分模块核心素养导航主题语境：人与自我主题群：节日文化语篇类型：记叙文文化意识语言能力(1)词汇知识：单词honour, harvest, decoration, freedom, participate, vote, regardless, inequality, fantasy, limitless, regular, complain, indicate, request, fancy, attract, competition, formal, host, occasion, admit, effort, loss, process, retired, exist, global 的用法(2)语法知识：情态动词 can 与 could; may 与 might; must以及“情态动词＋have done”的用法比较中外节日的差异，并从中分析、了解东西方文化的特点，增强跨文化交际的意识；运用英语介绍中国传统节日，主动传播和弘扬中...
