2.The chair looks rather hard, but in fact it is very ___________ （comfort） to sit on.
comfortable

rinks, China is becoming a winter sports country.
in
解析 句意为：今天，中国有超过3亿人在约2,000个滑雪胜地和溜冰场参加冬季运动，中国正在成为一个冬季运动国家。分析句子可知，句中包含“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，engage in意为“参与”，为固定搭配，与其逻辑主语over 300 million people之间构成主动关系，用现在分词作宾补。故设空处填in。
7.After 30 years apart the sisters were keen _________ （make） up for lost time.
to make
解析 句意为：分开30年后，姐妹俩都渴望弥补失去的时间。be keen to do sth意为“渴望做某事”。故填to make。

10.It remains to be seen ________ recorded video courses can meet the demands of students of different
levels or not.
whether
解析 句意为：提前录制的视频课程是否能满足不同层次学生的需求尚不明朗。分析句子可知，It为形式主语，与remains to be seen构成主系表结构，设空处引导主语从句，从句结构完整，但缺少表“是否”的引导词，根据or not可知，应用whether引导该主语从句。
根据提示补全句子。

1.___________
is occupied
解析 句意为：如果你的脑海里满是少林和尚、李小龙或《功夫熊猫》中的动画角色的样子，那么你是对的。设空处在If引导的条件状语从句中作谓语，从句主语your mind是单数，所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式；your mind和动词occupy之间是被动关系，所以应用被动语态；根据空前的What comes to mind可知，此处也应用一般现在时。故填is occupied。
2._____
that
解析 句意为：但对美国纪录片制作人龙安志来说，他第一个想到的是“非暴力”这个概念。设空处引导定语从句，先行词是the first thing，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，thing前有序数词first修饰，故填that。当先行词前有序数词、不定代词或者the only, the last等修饰时，其后的定语从句只能用that引导。

解析 设空处修饰名词psychology，应用形容词作定语。故填national。
7.______
badly
解析 句意为：龙安志还认为，当今世界迫切需要恢复国家之间没有刻板印象的平等交流。文化和体育运动，如功夫，可以作为一个很好的渠道和平台。设空处作状语，修饰动词needs，应用副词。故填badly。

opened
解析 句意为：同样，乒乓球运动作为一种文化和体育交流方式，在20世纪70年代打开了中国与西方关系的大门…… 由时间状语in the 1970s可知，事情发生在过去，所以此处用一般过去时。故填opened。
10._________
bringing
解析 句意为：……功夫可以成为我们这个时代新的文化交流方式，通过相互分享技能和文化使人们团结起来，增进尊重和理解。分析句子可知，设空处需要用非谓语动词；根据句意可知，bring和其逻辑主语kung fu之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填bringing。

[山东泰安2023高二期中]Some years ago I was offered a writing task that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent （大陆）.Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated.How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research It seemed impossible, and with much regret I sat down to write a letter begging off.Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: You can't learn if you don't try.So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments.But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveller.And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote places, without guides or even advance bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that something new and different, is almost always by definition （必然） scary.But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning gathers, the world opens to you.
I've learnt to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know I'll go on doing such things.It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others.I'm not.But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can achieve wonders.

&19& 体裁：议论文 &20& 题材：社会生活 &21& 词数：337 &22& 难度：&23& &24& 建议用时：8分钟
Moving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience.It's an opportunity to meet new people, make yourself completely involved in a different culture and possibly learn another language.However, before embarking on such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made.One such decision is choosing where to live.
For me, living with a French family was the best choice I had made, and here is why.
Firstly, a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely.When you're in a new environment with people you don't know and who are speaking a language you're still not fluent in, you might feel lost, tired and homesick—I know I did.However, my
host family were wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to take to get to work and cooked dinner for me so we could eat together, and took me with them on trips to the beach, the theatre and even a bullfight.These were great opportunities to experience French culture and build relationships, which in turn helped me feel more comfortable and welcome.
Moreover, living with French people has been brilliant for helping me improve my language skills.Being constantly exposed to authentic French conversation has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent.My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong, which makes me a better and more confident French speaker.
Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will remember forever, and perhaps the friendships—like the memories—will also last.Your host family might become your friends for life.You might return for their birthdays, weddings, holidays, and much more.I hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.

解析 词义猜测题。由上文Moving to a foreign country is an amazing… make yourself completely involved in a different culture and possibly learn another language.可知，在国外生活是一种令人惊奇的、改变生活的经历，是一个认识新朋友、完全融入不同的文化并且可以学习另一种语言的机会。由转折词However以及下文such an adventure可推断此处表示：在开始进行这样的冒险之前，需要作一些实用的决定。由此可知该短语的意思是“开始”，与B项意义相近。故选B。

As the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Therefore, when you intend to run
your business in France, you may as well get to know French culture, make marketing plans, and do
business by local laws.
1. . The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the
risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners.Also, another reason why
learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that
you care and respect their country's culture and language.
Use first names only after being invited to.2. . The French will sometimes introduce themselves
using their surname first, followed by their first name.

Dress well.The French draw information about people based on their appearance.Your business
clothing is a reflection of your success and social status.3. . Women are advised to dress simply but
elegantly.Wearing make-up is practised widely by businesswomen.

usually consist of an appetiser, a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up
to two hours.4. .
Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appétit （祝你好胃口）”.Pass dishes to the left, keep

【易错警示】此题易误填who。who意为“谁”，含有疑问意味。whoever意为“无论是谁”，相当于anyone who，不含有疑问意味。
7.______ annoyed your father was not what you said, but the way you said it.
What

【语篇导读】本文介绍了“第三文化孩子”这一概念，以及这种跨文化经历给孩子带来的优势和弊端。
1._______
totally
解析 句意为：你是不是在一种文化中长大，你的父母来自另一种文化，而你现在生活在一个完全不同的国家？设空处修饰形容词different，应用副词。故填totally。
2.__________
was used
解析 句意为：“第三文化孩子”这个术语在20世纪60年代首次被露丝博士使用。根据句中的in the 1960s可知，该句描述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时；句中The term “third-culture kid”和use之间为被动关系，故应用被动语态；句子主语The term “third-culture kid”为单数概念，谓语应用第三人称单数形式。故填was used。
3.___________
researching
解析 句意为：她在研究居住在印度的北美儿童时第一次遇到这种现象。分析句子结构可知，此处为while引导的时间状语从句的省略结构，从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句谓语中包含be动词，故省略从句中的主语和be动词；从句主语she与research之间为主动关系且表示动作正在进行，应用现在分词形式。故填researching。
4.______

6.___________
themselves
解析 句意为：第三文化的孩子可能无法完全适应他们所处的新环境。根据语境可知，此处表示这些孩子无法让自己适应新环境，应用反身代词，表示“他们自己”。故填themselves。
7.___________
to develop
解析 句意为：而且，他们经常发现建立新的友谊很难。此处为“find+形式宾语it+形容词（hard,difficult,easy等）+不定式（短语）”结构，意为“发现做某事很……”。故填to develop。
8.______
easier
解析 句意为：此外，对于第三文化的孩子来说，通常是移居到一个新的国家比回到自己的祖国更容易。根据句意和句中的than可知，句中把“移居到一个新的国家”和“回到自己的祖国”进行对比，应用比较级。故填easier。
9._______
where
解析 句意为：例如，在澳大利亚生活多年后，路易斯终于回到了她出生的国家。根据句意和句子结构可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词为country，关系词在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
10.___
or
解析 句意为：她对当前的电视节目和时尚潮流一无所知。根据句中的didn't可知，句子为否定句，TV shows和fashion trends为并列关系，否定句中应用连词or连接并列成分，表示“也不”，即不了解当前的电视节目，也不了解时尚潮流。故填or。

I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions.Speaking to strangers was not encouraged.People were most hospitable （好客的） and friendly.
However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand in a crowded railway carriage travelling from Genoa to Florence.Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was scolded by a gentleman in rapid Italian who was returning to this seat—it had not been “spare” after all.I apologised in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat.The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realised my genuine mistake.He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself
remained standing in the corridor （火车过道） for the rest of the journey.The other passengers smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome among them.I felt that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
Transport also showed the differences between English and American culture.I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers.We sat together in near silence.Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know.They felt it was not polite to interrupt someone else's privacy.However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation.Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself.They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的旅行经历说明了不同文化中人们表示“好客”和“礼貌”的方式不一样。
1.What do we know about the passengers when the author was travelling in Italy ( )
D
A.They were all on the side of the gentleman.
B.They all laughed at the author for his mistake.
C.They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public.
D.They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake.
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的The other passengers smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome among them.可知，车厢里的其他乘客都对作者点头微笑，说明他们理解作者犯的错误，对作者很宽容。故选D项。
2.What does the underlined word “scolded” in Paragraph 3 refer to ( )
D
A.Shouted. B.Surprised. C.Praised. D.Blamed.
解析 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中的Sinking gratefully into an empty seat可知，作者坐到了一个“空”座位上。再根据后文it had not been “spare” after all和画线词后的by a gentleman in rapid Italian who was returning to this seat可知，这并不是一个真正的空座位，故推断此处表示座位的主人回来了，作者受到“训斥”。故选D项。
【方法总结】联系关键词猜测词义
词义猜测题主要通过对画线内容前后的语境进行准确理解并猜测，并且要联系关键词。此题中的关键词为empty, returning, spare, apologised等。
3.Why did English passengers sit in near silence according to the last paragraph ( )
C
A.They were too tired to speak to anyone. B.They were all strangers to each other.
C.Privacy was a valued tradition in England. D.Everybody was deeply lost in thought.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句和最后一段中的They felt it was not polite to interrupt someone else's privacy.可知，英国乘客都不说话，因为他们的传统文化认为探究别人的隐私是很不礼貌的。故选C项。
4.What can be the best title for the text ( )
A
A.Different Ways of Hospitality and Politeness B.My Unforgettable Travelling Experience Abroad
C.Co-Understanding Each Other D.The Importance of Privacy
解析 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，作者通过自己的旅行经历说明不同文化中人们表示“好客”和“礼貌”的方式不一样。故“好客和礼貌的不同（表达）方式”切题。故选A项。

“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.

California is the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products.1. . It comes
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 （零售商） 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 in the coming years.The stores will also close all fur vaults （保险库） 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.
【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了加利福尼亚州通过了一项禁止销售和生产新毛皮产品的法律，并探讨了该项法律实施后可能带来的影响。
1.___
G
解析 空前句子说明了加利福尼亚州禁止新毛皮产品的生产和销售，空后句子又说明了这项禁令于2023年1月1日开始生效，故推知设空处也应在介绍这项禁令，G项说明了该禁令的适用范围，符合语境，且空后的It指代的是G项中的The ban。故选G项。
2.___
A
解析 前文表明加利福尼亚州禁止销售毛皮，空后表明他们正在向世界宣告野生动物不应该出现在一些表演中，由此可推断，该空需要一个过渡句，表明他们作出的努力不仅仅是禁止销售毛皮，A项符合语境。
3.___
C
解析 空后的More than a dozen European countries… 说明类似的法律已经在全球范围内实施。C项符合语境，其中Similar laws 和globally为关键词。故选C项。
4.___
F
解析 空后引用美国人道协会主席兼首席执行官兼国际人道协会首席执行官的一段话，表明了他对于这项禁令的支持，这说明这项禁令受到一些人的欢迎。F项符合语境，且与后文的Not everyone, however, was pleased with the ban.形成了对比。故选F项。
5.___

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 my huge colour photo on the wall 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.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students.

After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box.____
【写作提示】
1.材料导读
材料大意 作者结束演出返回家中，却发现一个大约12岁的头发凌乱、脸庞消瘦的男孩想要偷走自己
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。
故事背景 男孩想偷作者的小提琴，作者看出他很喜欢小提琴但是因为贫穷无法拥有。
主要角色 作者（小提琴家）、一个大约12岁的男孩（喜欢拉小提琴的贫穷的孩子）
写作顺序 时间顺序
主要矛盾 男孩带走小提琴之后会发生的事情；男孩对作者是否有感激之情。
2.续写分析
续写第一段（提示句： 几年后，我被邀请担任 高中学生音乐比赛的评 委。） 由续写第一段首句内容，再结合续写第二段的开头可知，当年的那个男孩也
来参加了比赛，故续写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。
续写第二段（提示句： 比赛结束后，“迈克尔”拿 着小提琴盒跑向我。） 由续写第二段首句可知，续写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。
情感变化 作者：被男孩的表演打动——认出男孩后的惊喜——男孩表示感谢时的激动
男孩：表演时的自信、快乐——感谢作者时的激动
3.提分词句
be fascinated by…, be impressed by, flick a glance at, be lit up with joy and confidence, make a big difference, with his thin face reddening with excitement （with复合结构作状语）, It's your kindness that enlightens my life （强调句）, 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 a 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 make 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' life.
