Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·潍坊高一期中)I met a beautiful soul yesterday.I went to work with my computer to a local café so that I could have dinner there.It was raining a bit this time and also I was among people.Sometimes when you work from home all day this is in itself a treat.And the magic of connection sometimes happens—a smile,someone offering you the newspaper,a short conversation with the staff,a peace dove flying past and lots of possibilities for love and kindness.
Well,magic did happen.I heard a man who was speaking with difficulty and very loud.I noticed he could not speak so clearly and he had some kind of impairment(损伤).As often happened,people looked at him—or avoided doing so,and then—as if embarrassed or afraid—looked down.In these cases I try to do the opposite.I imagined a person in these circumstances would want to feel included.
So I decided to deliberately look at him and smile.It was an instant!He looked at me,smiled and immediately said hello.With a combination of spoken and body language he asked if he could approach me.I agreed.He introduced me to his friend who taught sign language online and explained that they were both deaf,after which he even told me about his wife and how he loved teaching.I apologized for not knowing sign language and hoped I'd learnt.We still managed to have a beautiful conversation which made us all very happy.I'm sure we'll meet again to experience the magic of being and being with others.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了唐装的起源以及流行。
1.As [解析]考查介词。句意:作为中国封建社会历史上最繁荣、最强大的王朝,唐朝(618~907)在世界上非常有名,外国人称海外华人为“唐人”,称他们居住的地区为“唐人街”,称他们穿的衣服为“唐装”。表示“作为”应用介词as,后跟名词作宾语。单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填As。
2.where [解析]考查定语从句的关系词。句意见上题解析。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词areas,在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导。故填where。
3.Referred [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:唐装被称为“Tangzhuang”,在中国文化中有两大种类。短语be referred to as表示“被称为”,此处过去分词作状语。单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填Referred。
4.giving [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:一种是由汉服演变而来的正宗唐代服饰,给人一种洒脱、简单、淡雅的印象;另一种是由清代马褂发展而来的满族男服。句中已有谓语动词is,空处应用非谓语动词;分析句子结构可知,give与逻辑主语the authentic Tangera clothes之间构成主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填giving。
5.the [解析]考查冠词。句意见上题解析。此处特指两者中的另一个,应用the other。故填the。
6.to express [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:典型的唐装设计采用汉字,如“福”(字面意思是幸福)和“寿”(字面意思是长寿)来表达好运和祝福,由于文化内涵,这些汉字在中国人中非常受欢迎。短语employ sth.to do sth.表示“用某物做某事”。故填to express。
7.extremely [解析]考查副词。句意见上题解析。修饰形容词popular应用副词extremely。故填extremely。
8.increasing [解析]考查形容词。句意:如今,越来越多的中国年轻人倾向于在自己的重要日子里穿唐装。修饰名词number应用形容词increasing。故填increasing。
9.are worn [解析]考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:此外,海外华人每年春节都会穿唐装,吸引了许多外国人出于好奇而穿唐装。空处为句子谓语动词;主语Tang suits与谓语动词wear之间构成被动关系。根据下文each year可知为一般现在时的被动语态。主语Tang suits为复数,be动词用are。故填are worn。
10.curiosity [解析]考查名词。句意见上题解析。短语out of curiosity表示“出于好奇”。故填curiosity。
Ⅲ.应用文写作
请阅读下面这则寓言,并用英语写一篇80词左右的评论。
Crows Drink Water
There was only a little water in a bottle which had a long and narrow neck.A fat crow came to the bottle and drank the water by a straw.He was enjoying the water when another thirsty crow went by.Accustomed(习惯于) to the way of drinking water taught in books,the thirsty crow was very surprised.He asked the fat crow,“Why don't you drink water as the book told us?” The fat crow replied,“Because this method can make me drink water faster.”
________________________________________________________________________

[参考范文]
Actually,we are just like the crows.Many of us strive to drink the water with our mouths,which is painful and unsuccessful.So how can we break the stereotype(模式化观念) and become accomplished?
First and foremost,never always believe in books.An old saying has it that “It's better to walk ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” In addition,we should think from a new angle so that a unique idea may strike us.Last but not least,we should learn from others.
Ⅳ.读后续写
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。
(2024·河池高一检测)The only real job I'd ever had was as manager of a local cafe. That was a rich experience, but I will never forget one thing.
Our family has a tradition of running cafes. When I was a kid, I had the dream of running a coffee shop independently. The third year after I graduated from college, the opportunity came.
My father took over a cafe shop in the central city, far from home. Maybe there was no suitable person to manage. My father did offer me full responsibility from decoration to business. Winter coming after fall, I was busy, painful and happy.
So tired as I was, I bothered myself to open up my cafe shop on the freezing morning. With many customers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.
As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a voice asked if I could mind a child. I was quite angry but I could tell the man was quite desperate(绝望的). So I had to make a deal with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him, he had to buy something in the shop.
This was quite hard for the man to do. I could tell he was quite poor by the way he was dressed. It looked as if he had tried to come in his best clothes. But they still looked a bit old and worn out as if he had often worn them, just to make himself look best. Looking down I could see his shoes were also a bit torn and the heels(鞋后跟) were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of cookies for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could do with a bit of cheering up.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Seeing that the kid sat there, I was a bit worried._________ ________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
At closing time, the only person left was the little boy.________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Seeing that the kid sat there, I was a bit worried. Probably because he seldom went out, the boy sat on a seat in the corner nervously, looking down at the cookies on the table. Whenever someone came in, he looked anxiously, hoping it was his father. I tried to chat with him several times, but he didn't say a word. Finally, he even ignored me. The regular customers who came and went looked at this strange little customer. Several children wanted to play with him, but he also firmly refused. I was hoping his father would hurry up.
Paragraph 2:
At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I guessed he didn't get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake. He didn't eat the cake until his father nodded. I saw tears welling up in the father's eyes and somewhere in my heart became soft. You never knew how your little act of kindness might find its way into someone else's heart. I thought I had found a better way to run a cafe.
