【解析】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者为自己的公婆解释美国的感恩节的故事。

1.考查名词。句意：当我试着向我在中国的公公婆婆描述感恩节时，我已经能看到他们困惑的眼神，感觉到他们脑海中浮现的问题。介词with后应跟名词形式，故填 confusion.

2.考査固定短语。句意：所以我试图通过他们熟悉的东西来解释这个节日。短语 attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”，故填 to translate.

考査固定短语。句意：我说烤火鸡有点像北京烤鸭。短语 be similar to“与……相似”，故填to.

考査形容词。句意：我把一年一度的感恩节表演和除夕的春节联欢晩会做了比较。修饰名词短语“ Spring Festival Gala”应用形容词，故填 yearly..

5.考查冠词。句意：我把整个庆祝活动描述成美国版冬至。此处特指“整个庆祝活动”应用定冠词，故填the.

6.考査动词时态。句意：然而，尽管我的姻亲们点头微笑，我还是意识到，即使是这些解释，也只是个简陋的替代品。根据下文并列谓语“ and smiled”可知应用一般过去时，故填 nodded

7.考査主谓一致和时态。句意：这就是你在跨文化交流中所面临的失望。陈述客观事实用一般现在时且主语“this”谓语动词用单数形式。故填is

 8.考査名词的数。句意：尽管存在种种分歧，我们仍然可以坐在一起，坦诚地讨论彼此的传统。discussion为可数名词，且前面没有冠词，故用复数形式，填 discussions.

9.考査非谓语动词。句意：因此，本着我的美国假期精神，我默默地感谢中国有这么伟大的公婆，他们非常关心听他们的外国儿媳谈论感恩节。for为介词后跟动名词做宾语，故填 having

10.考查定语从句连接词。句意同上。本句为定语从句修饰先行词“in-laws”，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故填关系代词who

【点拨】“be+形容词+介词”相当于及物动词，宾语位于介词后面，形容词是短语动词的真正词义。同类的动词短语还有很多，如 be patient with， be slow at等，日常学习注意积累。期推荐
