【解析】

火雞是美國傳統(tǒng)食物中重要的一個(gè)部分。本文介紹了一些關(guān)于火雞的事實(shí)，以及這種鳥類來自于哪里。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“…the name turkey came from the sound turkeys make when they are afraid—turk, turk, turk.”可知火雞的名字來源于他們害怕時(shí)候發(fā)出的聲音。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The heaviest turkey was raised in England, it weighed 86 pounds, about the size of a large dog.”可知最重的火雞，重達(dá)86磅。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“90% of American homes eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day and 50% eat turkey on Christmas.”可知大多數(shù)美國人都在感恩節(jié)吃火雞，只有一半的人在圣誕節(jié)吃。故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“For their first meal on the moon, American astronauts Neil armsrtong and Edwin Aldrin ate roast turkey!”可知美國宇航員在月球上的第一餐吃的就是烤火雞。故選B。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“…the bird it comes from.”可知火雞是一種鳥類，因此A選項(xiàng)是正確的；根據(jù)“Since 1947, an American organization has been giving the American president a live turkey for Thanksgiving.”可知一個(gè)美國組織給美國總統(tǒng)一只活的火雞，因此B選項(xiàng)是正確的；根據(jù)“In 2005, about 256 million turkeys were raised.”可知2005年，大約飼養(yǎng)2.56億只火雞，因此C選項(xiàng)是正確的；本文并未介紹人們不喜歡火雞，相反，根據(jù)“90% of American homes eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day and 50% eat turkey on Christmas.”以及“In 2005, about 256 million turkeys were raised.”可知美國人在感恩節(jié)和圣誕節(jié)會(huì)吃火雞，單2005年一年，火雞的養(yǎng)殖量就達(dá)到2.56億只，因此可推測美國人是喜歡火雞的，因此D選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。故選D。
