Ten years into the job，Lanenberg received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America.When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene，they found the young male face down on the ground.He had gone unconscious，making weak attempts to breathe.His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror.They quickly rushed to defibrillate(除颤) and calm the man to keep him under control.After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital，he thought about the man and his family for a long time.
Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago，where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him.As it turned out，the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.
“You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I'd have，” the man said.He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet.He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20 something year old man.Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.

语篇解读： 设计师肖航经营着自己的汉服公司，她为客户提供汉服拍照服务，甚至策划汉服风格的婚礼。与过去崇尚西方时尚风格相对，越来越多的年轻人更喜欢中国传统服装文化。
1．解析： 考查过去分词。分析该句结构可知，空处作名词robe的后置定语，修饰该名词；robe和动词decorate之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故空处用过去分词decorated。
答案： decorated
2．解析： 考查现在分词。分析该句结构可知，主语She和动词attract之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故空处用现在分词attracting。
答案： attracting
3．解析： 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处作谓语。根据该句时间状语“during the past decades”可知，该句陈述的是从过去一直发生到现在的事情，而且还可能继续下去，故用现在完成时或者现在完成进行时，又主语为China，故可知答案。
答案： has welcomed/has been welcoming
4．解析： 考查连词。空前陈述“多年来中国一直欢迎西方时尚和极其现代的技术”；空后表述“越来越多像肖这样的年轻人在选择服装时把目光投向过去”，空处前后为转折关系，故填but。
答案： but
5．解析： 考查副词。分析该句结构可知，空处修饰后面的整个句子，故用副词形式。
答案： Obviously
6．解析： 考查名词的单复数。costume可以当作可数名词讲，根据该句系动词are可知，该处应用复数形式。
答案： costumes
7．解析： 考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的比较级“higher”可知，空处与此对应，也应当用比较级。句意：历史剧也促使人们对中国传统服饰产生了更大的兴趣和更高的需求。
答案： greater
8．解析： 考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Xiao，指人，空处在从句中作主语，故用who引导该定语从句。
答案： who
9．解析： 考查名词。形容词修饰名词，根据形容词wide可知，空处用名词形式，此处表示“广泛接受”。
答案： acceptance
10．解析： 考查固定搭配。in public为固定搭配，意为“公开地”，符合语境。句意：很多人说，他们之所以会犹豫是因为公开穿汉服时别人会用奇怪的眼神看他们。
答案： in
