试题精解
一、文章结构分析
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了“五月花号”抵达美洲新大陆的情况及感恩节的来历。
第一段交代了文章的背景：一批殖民者到达北美新大陆。
①至④句介绍了“五月花号”前往美洲的原因，⑤至⑩句介绍了“五月花号”上的朝圣者在途中以及登陆后遇到的困难，至句介绍了他们生活条件得到好转的原因及表现。
第二段通过对过去的回顾与对未来的展望，叙述了朝圣者怀有感恩的心态并与当地印第安人签署友好协定，为下文感恩节的形成做了铺垫。
第三段说明了感恩节产生的直接原因：朝圣者想庆祝他们定居新家的第一年。

［空格设置］in one’s own way是固定短语，如：I expect she does love you in her own 。
