Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
[天津市和平区2023高一期末] A
For this Spring Festival Eve, Tiffany Chen is trying something untraditional and ordering a meal for her family get-together. She used a food delivery service app and searched “Spring Festival family dinner”.
“I actually found quite a few results! It is unbelievable because this is a real thing now,” Chen said.
The ease of ordering takeaway food is one of many ways technology is changing how Chinese people celebrate Spring Festival, and this change has been embraced by all generations.
In Shenzhen North Railway Station a week before Spring Festival, a father hurried to catch a train. Yan Jianlong is from Changsha in Hunan Province. This year, instead of local food or other specialities as gifts, he wanted to buy something high-tech for his 10-year-old son.“I heard he likes this kind of present now,” Yan said. Others are in the same condition. Chen Zhiyang, who runs a shop, said robotic toys such as dogs and drones (无人机) were the most popular of all his merchandise (商品) during Spring Festival.
Beijing resident Wang Xiaoya said she would visit a friend in Brazil this year, and she could do so without feeling she had neglected (忽视) her family as she would chat online to her mother and grandparents during the holidays.
This technology is not an activity that only belongs to the young—Wang’s grandmother has learnt how to use smartphones. “It has really made it more convenient for her and she really likes using smartphones,” Wang said.
There have been questions on social media about whether technology has changed the atmosphere at Spring Festival and whether it meant people have become lazy.
“I think what technology has changed is only formality (遵守礼节),” Wang said. “It does not matter how you celebrate Spring Festival, whether you are eating in, eating out, or ordering—the most valuable thing is who you celebrate it with.”
1.What did Tiffany Chen do for this year’s Spring Festival Eve ( )

A.She ordered a takeout family meal.
B.She cooked a special dish for her parents.
C.She helped her parents prepare the family dinner.
D.She booked a table at her favourite restaurant online.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是科技正在改变中国的春节庆祝方式。
2.What did the goods sold in Chen Zhiyang’s shop show ( )
C
A.Kids are excited about celebrating Spring Festival.
B.Local food is wildly accepted during Spring Festival.
C.High-tech gifts are getting popular during Spring Festival.
D.Giving gifts is an important tradition during Spring Festival.
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知,机器狗和无人机等玩具是春节期间最受欢迎的商品。由此可知,陈志阳(音译)的店里卖的东西表明,春节期间,高科技礼物越来越受欢迎。
3.What is the attitude of Wang Xiaoya’s grandmother to smartphones ( )
B
A.Unclear. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Uninterested.
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的It has really made it more convenient for her and she really likes using smartphones可知,王晓雅(音译)的奶奶真的很喜欢使用智能手机,由此可知,王晓雅(音译)的奶奶对智能手机持支持的态度。

[辽宁锦州中学2023高一月考] B
Suddenly one Sunday in August, the streets are filled with colour. A procession(队列)of bands and dancers makes its way slowly through the city. Every evening, crowds of people walk up to the top of the Royal Mile, looking forward to a show of military music. On every shop window and noticeboard, posters have appeared, promoting everything from poetry readings to children’s theatre, art exhibitions to concerts. It’s festival time.
From its beginning in 1947, the Edinburgh International Festival (the “official” festival) has become a world-famous cultural event. The city turns into a huge arts centre, with its music, dance and exhibitions, all by world-famous artists. Every year more than twenty nations perform to audiences from all over the world in theatres, halls, schools, churches and the streets of the city. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo adds to the choice of entertainment, with its marching and military bands in Edinburgh Castle.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the “unofficial” festival) is the biggest event of its kind in the world, with more than 900 shows to choose from and over 6,000 writers and performers taking part. It gives people a first-class opportunity to see many works performed for the first time—several of which go on to successful performances elsewhere.
The Film Festival gives fans an opportunity to widen their knowledge of films. And to show that there is something for everyone, the Jazz Festival has become very popular in recent years. You can hear the very best of music all over the city at this time.
There is no more exciting place to be than in Edinburgh at festival time!

[安徽卓越县中联盟2023高一期中] Americans celebrated Labor Day for the year 2022 on September 5. The national holiday began more than 100 years ago to honor low-paid factory workers.
Labor Day also marks the end of summer. Many students return to school after Labor Day. The hot days of summer turn cooler. Many Americans celebrate the holiday with an outdoor family barbecue.
But Labor Day started with a struggle. On May 1, 1889, workers marched(游行抗议)on the streets of Paris, France. International Labor Day was born. Most industrialized countries in the world—except the United States and Canada—celebrate Labor Day on the first of May.
On September 5, 1882, in New York City, about 10,000 workers marched through the streets to show the strength of labor organizations. For many years after that, American workers used the first Monday in September to demand better working conditions and pay. Music was a part of many of those marches.
Labor songs traditionally tell stories of conflicts (冲突) and hopes for a better life. Many classic American labor songs came from workers in the coal mines of the South. Mine owners opposed workers’ unions. In Kentucky, the company police searched for union leaders. They waited outside a worker’s home for several days to stop him from organizing marches. The coal miner’s wife, Florence Reece, stayed inside with her children. She wrote this song, Which Side Are You On .
Another American labor song is called Bread and Roses. It is based on a poem by James Oppenheim, published in December of 1911. The poem speaks about the women’s labor movement. At that time, conditions in factories, where many women worked, were dreadful. A fire at a clothing factory in New York killed 146 people.
A month after Oppenheim’s poem was published, women workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts went on strike, and their protest won them higher pay and better working conditions. Oppenheim’s poem received more attention.

[山西长治二中2022高一期末]Wind farms (风力发电场) and flyovers (立交桥) which block (遮挡) some of the country’s most glorious views are the biggest threats to Britain’s cultural heritage, Simon Thurley, former chief executive of English Heritage, has said. He said his “biggest challenge” was to find ways to stop the building of wind farms and other structures from blocking historic buildings and monuments.
He said, “My focus, and the focus of English Heritage, is to design ways that we can judge the effects of wind farms and other structures.” Dr Thurley said the laws on protecting monuments and historic buildings were “too old”. “Changes were needed to improve laws so that the views of the listed buildings were protected,” he told the audience at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.
Dr Thurley gave the example of Ely, in Cambridgeshire, where he said English Heritage was fighting plans to build a flyover that would block views of this historic cathedral. “The heritage law we have today was not designed to protect the views of Ely Cathedral,” he said. “It was designed to stop people pushing it down.”
建议用时:56分钟
Dr Thurley said his another challenge was getting the 1970’s concrete (混凝土制的) buildings listed. “We have to work out which ones are worth saving because there’s a lot of junk,” he said. He added that for years the government ministers had refused to allow them to be listed and viewed them as “monstrosities (巨大而丑陋之物)”, particularly Margaret Hodge, who refused to list any concrete buildings at all when she was Culture Minister.
But minister Ed Vaizey agreed to the listing of the “concrete huge building” of Preston Bus Station.
Dr Thurley also said that more than 400 buildings, which currently were owned and run by English Heritage, were going to be transferred to a charity.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了很多美国人说方言而不是标准英语,并说明了这一现象形成的原因。
1.____
the
解析 句意为:许多人认为电视和广播里说的英语是标准英语。结合句意可知,此处特指电视和广播里说的英语,应用定冠词the进行修饰限定。故填the。
2.___
of
解析 句意为:这是因为在广播节目的早期,那些报道新闻的人被期望能说一口很棒的英语。结合句意可知,此处表示所属关系,in the early days of the radio表示“在广播节目的早期”。故填介词of。
3._________
to speak
解析 句意见上一题解析。(sb) be expected to do sth为固定用法,表示“(某人)被期待做某事”,应用动词不定式。故填to speak。
4._________
is called
解析 句意为:当人们使用不同于“标准语言”的词语和表达时,他们所使用的语言被称为方言。分析句子结构可知,此处为主从复合句,设空处在主句中作谓语,根据从句中的use可知,此处表示客观陈述,主句时态也应用一般现在时;结合语境判断,call与主句主语it之间是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态;主句主语是it,be动词应用is。故填is called。
5.______
parts
解析 句意为:甚至在美国的部分地区,来自邻近城镇的两个人说话也有点不同。part在此处意为“区域;地区”,是可数名词,空前有some (一些)修饰,应用名词复数形式。故填parts。
6.__________
differently
解析 句意见上一题解析。设空处修饰动词speak,应用副词形式作状语。故填differently。
7.________
making
解析 句意为:地理也在方言的形成中发挥作用。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语plays,设空处应用非谓语动词形式;设空处位于介词in之后,应用动名词形式作宾语。故填making。
8.______
older
解析 句意为:一些住在美国东部山区的人说一种更古老的英语方言。结合语境可知,此处表示“更古老的英语方言”,且much用于修饰比较级,由此可知,此处应用形容词的比较级。故填older。
9._____
took
解析 句意为:当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,他们带着自己的方言。分析句子结构可知,设空处在主句中作谓语,根据句中的moved可知,此处表示过去发生的事,设空处应使用一般过去时。故填took。
10._______
which
解析 句意为:美国是一个使用多种不同方言的大国。分析句子结构可知,此处为“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句,修饰先行词country,关系代词作介词in的宾语,“in+关系代词”在从句中作地点状语,相当于where,故此处应用关系代词which。
[河北张家口2023高一期末] 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。
Weeks before Thanksgiving arrived, my anxiety about it increased. My husband and I recently made a cross-country move with our young child Jill. Our neighbours were an old couple, Mr Smith and Mrs Smith, who were kind and friendly.
Our new home was in a mess. “We should start thinking about plans for Thanksgiving,” I suggested. “Don’t worry about it,” my husband said. “Heat up some hot dogs, maybe with some cheese, and the kid will be happy.” That sounded great. I was in relief !
In the past holidays, I had never been responsible for cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner. My job was always to bring drinks or a side dish (items that had the highest success rate) to a large gathering and help clean up after the meal.
But one day my son Jill happily showed newly-created turkey crafts. “Let’s go on a walk and try to find a rock that looks like a turkey!” Jill shouted to me. “Take me on a walk, Mummy!” The excitement was building, and I had a feeling that hot dogs were not going to be enough for my child on Thanksgiving.
“I’m going to try and prepare Thanksgiving food, Leonard,” I said to my husband late one night. He eyed me curiously. “You sure ” Then he said, “Okay, then, if you think you can do it.” I said, “I’ve got two days to prepare. The grocery store is open twenty-four hours. I’m going to the store!”
Unfortunately, only a huge turkey remained, so I had no choice but to buy a thirty-pound turkey. Early the next morning, I dragged (拖;拽) the bagged turkey home. When my family saw it, they got a big surprise at its size. Seeing the surprise on their faces, I realised there was no way we could finish the turkey. It was too big for my family. “There was only one turkey left in the store,” I explained.“But how could we finish the turkey ” I asked my husband and Jill.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Jill said we could invite our neighbours, Mr and Mrs Smith, to share with us.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【参考范文】
Jill said we could invite our neighbours, Mr and Mrs Smith, to share with us. “I found the old couple were very lonely because no one had paid a visit to them since we moved here.Besides, I didn’t see them buy anything for Thanksgiving,” Jill said. Knowing that, we reached an agreement on inviting the couple. Jill was responsible for the invitation and my husband and I were in charge of dinner. Realising it would take hours to cook, we busied ourselves making an entire dinner.
Soon, Mr and Mrs Smith came to my house with a big smile on their faces. They greeted us and we made introductions to each other. Seeing my husband and I were clumsy at preparing dinner, the couple offered to give us a hand. With the help of them, a fancy dinner was done. Obviously Mrs Smith had a great talent for cooking. As a special treat, I laid out a beautiful red tablecloth, candles and our best china. We gathered around the table, eating delicious Thanksgiving dinner and making a promise to spend Christmas together.
