[山东滕州一中2020高二检测]The flowers were blooming and the birds were singing as Melinda sat in the rose garden of the nursing home. She was recalling old times as she waited for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately，he broke the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas's sake.
“Thomas，you are completely a dreamer！” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he insisted on living on an island with his beautiful wife. That's what she loved about him most-he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year，followed by Thomas Benjamin II，Lilly-Ann，and Joseph “Little Joey” George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.
“Mum！”Lilly shouted，but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreation room.
When the door opened，Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love were felt instantly. The birthday party went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.
However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast." This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here."

[山西大学附属中学2021高二模块诊断]California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products. 1 It will come into effect on January 1，2023.
California's fur law was one of several bills designed to prevent cruelty to animals. “California is a leader when it comes to animal protection and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur，"said Governor Gavin Newsom in a news report." 2 We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers shouldn't walk on trapeze（高空秋千）wires or jump through flames.” 3 More than a dozen European countries，including the United Kingdom，Austria，Norway and the Netherlands have also passed laws to limit the fur trade.
4 "The signing of the ban shows the point that today's customers simply don't want wild animals to suffer extreme pain and fear while keeping up with the fashion," said Kitty Block, President and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States and CEO of Humane Society International. Not everyone, however, was pleased with the ban. Banning the killing of animals for their fur means killing the fur business, says Hyatt, an owner of a fur store. 5 Many retailers are also ending fur sales. In mid-October, Macy's (an American department store chain) announced it would stop fur sales in all its stores by the end of 2020. The stores will also close all fur vaults and salons. Other fashion brands such as Prada, Gucci, Michael Kors and Burberry have taken similar steps in recent years.
A. But we are doing more than that.
B. California is taking the lead in protecting animals.
C. Similar laws have been carried out globally already.
D. And that in turn will leave many people unemployed.
E. Two other Californian cities had already banned fur sales.
F. Not surprisingly, the ban is welcomed by animal rights activists.
G. The ban applies to clothing, shoes, handbags and other things that contain fur.

[湖北洪山高中2021高二月考]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。
At noon that day，I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room，I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs-it was the sound of my favourite violin.
“Thief！”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough，as expected，a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face，his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance，I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then，I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked，“Are you Mr Ram's nephew，Michael？I'm his housekeeper. Two days ago，I heard his nephew living in the countryside would come. It must be you. You're really like him！"
On hearing my words，the boy was first astonished，but then quickly said，“Has my uncle gone out？I think I'd better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while."
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin，“Do you like to play the violin so much？”
“Yes，but I'm so poor that I can't afford it，"the boy replied.
“Then，I give this violin to you." The boy looked at me questioningly，but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room，he suddenly saw on the wall my huge colour photo showing I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper's photo.

【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了高中生的生活及学习。高中学习中既有好的一面也有其不好的一面，作者也对此提出了一些建议。
1.shaping 此处表动词含义，根据句子中的介词in可知，要用动名词形式作宾语，故填shaping。
2.provides 此处描述客观事实，主语A school为单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填 provides。
3.where 分析句子结构可知，先行词为a place，定语从句为you can develop relationships with many different people，join clubs，and participate in a variety of different sports，设空处代替先行词在定语从句中充当地点状语，故填where。
4.filled 句意为：这些年可以让你成为一个有着各种各样情绪的高中生，（这些情绪）包括快乐、愤怒、悲伤、嫉妒、孤独、压力、还有很多很多。分析句子成分可知，谓语动词为can make，fill作非谓语，它的逻辑主语是student，短语be filled with表示“充满……”，fill和其逻辑主语之间为被动关系，故填filed。
5.endless句意为：这个列表是无止境的。根据句意可知，此处应填形容词作表语，故填endless。
6.and 固定搭配both…and..意为“既……又.…”，本句中and连接两个形容词harmful和effective，故填and。
7.issues 名词issue（问题）为可数名词，和后面 and poor decision-making and outcomes中outcomes为and连接的并列成分，所以也应用复数形式。故填 issues。
8.be seen see的主语it指代的是peer pressure，两者为被动关系，且设空处在情态动词can后面，故填be seen。
9.actually 此处修饰动词affect，用副词形式，故填actually。
10.on/upon have an effect on/upon表示“对……有影响”。故填on/upon。

【写作提示】
（1）.材料导读
本文以人物为线索展开，作者结束表演返回家中，却发现一个大约12岁的头发凌乱、脸庞消瘦的小男孩想要偷走自己心爱的小提琴。男孩充满恐惧的眼神使得作者不忍责罚他，而是假借一个善意的谎言将小提琴送给了他。最后，男孩还是知道了作者对他说了一个善意的谎言。
（2）.续写分析
①由第一段首句内容“几年后，我被邀请在一个高中生音乐比赛中担任评委”，再结合第二段的开头可知，当年的男孩也来参加了比赛，故第一段的内容应该是描写作者认出这个男孩的情景以及男孩在比赛中的表现。
②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束后，迈克尔拿着一个小提琴盒跑了过来”可知，第二段应该是描写男孩感谢作者当年的善举以及作者自己的感悟。
续写线索：担任评委——被音乐吸引——认出男孩——彼此相认——男孩表示感谢——作者的感悟。
（3）.提分词句
be impressed by，glance at，light up with joy and confidence，make a big difference，fascinated by…（过去分词作状语），with his thin face reddening with excitement（with复合结构作状语），It is+被强调部分+that+其他部分，Never had I anticipated that...（倒装句）等。
【参考范文】
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students. Fascinated by the gentle sound of one participant, I was wholeheartedly impressed by his wonderful performance and solid strength. As my eyes flicked up to glance at the performer, I was so astonished to see a thin face, so familiar, yet now lit up with joy and confidence. The “thief”! For an instant, I was amazed that the kindness I offered to cover the boy's misconduct would made such a big difference!
After the competition, "Michael" ran to me, holding a violin box. He asked with a tremble in his voice, with his thin face reddening with excitement, "Sir, do you recognise me The nephew! It's your kindness that enlightens my life, so does your violin. Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret..."Tears welled up in my eyes. Never had I anticipated that a tiny white lie would inject such great power into others and change their life.
