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。
(2022河北衡水二模)
I was four years old in 1993,when my family emigrated(移民) from the United Arab Emirates to Toronto.Young enough to be changed by my new home,but old enough to know I was different from everyone around me.I was the only Arab and only Muslim in my junior kindergarten class.Beyond those obvious differences,Canadian life proved to be quite distinct in other ways.And I discovered another surprise that December.
Overnight,everything was suddenly covered in red and green.My classmates talked excitedly about cookies and what gifts they’d asked Santa for that Christmas.At some point,I must have asked myself,“What is Christmas ” There’s nothing quite like it in the Muslim world.The closest comparison might be Eidal-Adha,which translates from Arabic to “Festival of sacrifice”.While both holidays show the same spirit of sharing with the less fortunate and spending time with loved ones,Eid meant new clothes and a family dinner.And that was about it.No tree decorated with ornaments(装饰物),and no gifts covered in wrapping paper.
Christmas was completely foreign to me,but then my parents unexpectedly informed me that Santa would be paying us a visit on Christmas Eve.“But aren’t we Muslim ” I asked.
“Yes,but Santa loves all children equally and gets them all gifts,” my mother replied.
So on that first Christmas Eve in Canada,she hung oversized red and white stockings,each one customized with our names,off our bedposts.I have a distinct memory of the restless expectation that kept me awake long after bedtime and my joy when I got up on Christmas morning to find my stocking filled with gifts.
Still in my pyjamas(睡衣),I ran over to the kitchen to tell my parents that Santa had indeed visited us last night.I asked if they’d seen him,and Mom said,“Of course!” Mom offered Santa a cup of coffee,as is the Arab custom when hosting guests.He needed the energy for the long night ahead,she told me.
When I returned to school after the holidays,I had a story to share with my classmates.Santa had visited me too!I could show off gifts while other kids showed off theirs.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
My parents kept our Christmas tradition going for years,until I was too old to believe in Santa anymore.
As an adult,I’ve come to realize creating a sense of belonging is joining in traditions.
参考答案
必修第三册 UNIT1
Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统节日——二月二龙抬头。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ThedragonisimportantinChineseculture.WeChinesepeoplecallourselvesthe ‘descendantsofthedragon’.”可知,龙深深扎根于中国文化是因为中国人认为自己是龙的传人。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Today,manycustomshavefadedaway.Butonethathasremainedisthecuttingofhair.”可知,前后句有转折关系,其中画线短语fadedaway和下文中remained意思相反,指“消失”,与disappearedgradually意义相近。故选A项。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,在古代,人们把灰放在厨房里,是因为他们相信灰会把龙引到家里。
4.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Today,manycustomshavefadedaway.Butonethathasremainedisthecuttingofhair.”可知,理发这一习俗在二月二龙抬头还保留着。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。我们一直被提醒要注意身体健康,但是我们经常忽略了精神卫生,文章主要介绍了“世界精神卫生日” 的来历及其他细节。
1.F 第一段从身体健康引出精神健康的重要性,上文“That’swhyWorldMentalHealthDaywascreated.”承上启下,引出下文,F项 “在这篇文章中,让我们来探讨一下世界精神卫生日”符合语境。
2.C 设空处前的句子 “itisoftentimescelebratedandobservedoverthecourseofaweek” 指出,虽然世界精神卫生日被设立在固定的一天,但是相关活动经常持续一周,C项“用一周而不是一天来庆祝” 承接上文,并引出下一句话。
3.E 该段的小标题为 “WhatisthehistoryofWorldMentalHealthDay ” 因此本段在阐述世界精神卫生日的历史。E项的 “第一个世界精神卫生日始于1992年”符合段意,并且与下一句 “Whenitfirststarted” 吻合。
4.B 设空处是小标题,是本段的主题句。从本段文句里列举的在这一天我们能做的事情和活动可知,本段主题是如何庆祝世界精神卫生日。结合选项可知,B项“如何庆祝世界精神卫生日” 符合语境。
5.G 结合设空处的前面两句 “Lastly,youshouldcheckonyourfriends.Goforawalkwiththemorhaveanextendedphoneconversationifyouarefaraway.” 可知,设空处需要总结关心朋友的精神健康能给朋友带来的好处。G项 “你可能会惊讶于你能在多大程度上帮助他们放松”符合语境。
Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是中国的重阳节。
1.normally 考查词性转换。空格处修饰动词falls用副词形式,故填normally。
2.pronunciation 考查词性转换。same是形容词,修饰名词,故填pronunciation。
3.fixed 考查词性转换。空格处修饰名词ways用形容词作定语,故填fixed。
4.when 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导的是定语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,先行词time是时间,故填when。
5.an 考查冠词。activity是可数名词的单数形式,且表泛指,前面需加不定冠词,essential发音是以元音音素开头,因此用不定冠词an。
6.to stick 考查非谓语动词。usedtodosth过去常常做某事,故填tostick。
7.as 考查介词。根据语境可知,句子表示“中国政府决定将重阳节定为老年人节”,空格处意为“作为”,故填as。
8.have organized/have been organizing 考查时态和主谓一致。由“Sincethen”可知,句子时态用现在完成时,也可用现在完成进行时来表示这个事情将会继续下去;主语“allgovernmentunits,organizationsandstreetcommunities”是复数,故填haveorganized/havebeenorganizing。
9.posts 考查名词的复数。post意为“职位”,是可数名词,由their可知用复数,故填posts。
10.themselves 考查反身代词。主语和宾语一致时,需用反身代词作宾语。故填themselves。
Ⅳ. MyparentskeptourChristmastraditiongoingforyears,untilIwastoooldtobelieveinSantaanymore.I never asked them why they went through all that bother,but I suspect they did it so we could feel like we belonged in our new country.Creating a sense of belonging is an important thing.It influences physical and mental health.But you can’t force yourself to belong somewhere.That belonging comes from a change within you,from a willingness to be part of something.
