湖北省部分学校2021-2022学年高二上学期期中联考英语解析版试卷汇编 读后续写专题 湖北省“荆、荆、襄、宜四地七校考试联盟”2021-2022学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题（解析版） 47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I am Russian, but for the last five years, I’ve lived in Kansas. What brought me to this country was my American husband, John. I work in a department store, where my coworkers pronounce my Russian name so sweetly. Every time I hear it, I feel as though my mom is embracing me. In my native country, people believe that Americans always keep big smiles on their faces even if they don’t have a real reason to do so. The American smile, the Russians have decided, is not genuine. Last year, John encouraged me to go see my mom back in Russia. My manager even gave me a month off for the trip. (When you live an ocean apart from your family, you need at least a month to visit them.) I bought a plane ticket and packed my suitcase. Then came COVID-19. My mood became gray as I realized I couldn’t go see my mom. A couple of weeks later, my sweet coworker Miss Donna, asked me.“So what’s happening with your trip to Russia?”I told her that I had to cancel it and that I wouldn’t be able to see my mom this year. Miss Donna didn’t say anything at first. Then she put on a big American smile and said, “Well, you can come over and see my mom!” Oh, my Lord! (That’s what my husband always says when he’s at a loss for words.) Imagine, a mom for loan! I honestly don’t know whether I would offer the same to someone in need of a mother’s warmth, but my new people sure would do it for me. I know that because of the virus you shouldn’t hug friends, but you can still embrace someone’s heart. That’s how my heart felt at that moment: hugged. So, yes, believe me, the American smile is genuine. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 It didn’t take long before Miss Donna invited me to call on her mom. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
