　　(2016·山东省济南市高三模拟)Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift­giving and family gatherings.But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

　　Middleburg，a small town in the state of Virginia，is known for its horses.For more than 50 years，Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行)．Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first，these hunters ride in the yearly parade，wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

　　John Hale，a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town.“We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit，but it incorporates a lot of the old traditions.”The night­time hay ride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay.The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

　　There are some newer traditions，too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming，peaceful place without tension.

　　“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back，to take a deep breath，and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace，there’s really an opportunity where you’re allowed to step off for a little bit.”

　　Parade organizers say more than 13,000 people attend even in below­freezing weather.But if you ask，you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade：

　　“I come here because I’m from a small town.I like how everybody comes together.”“I live right down that street；right there.And that’s my dog.”

　　Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime.That may be why so many people return each year.

　　.语法填空

　　(2016·南昌市高三模拟测试)My interest in Chinese food started years ago，when I was a young reporter from the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far 1.____________ Chinatown，where I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

　　The first time I ever ate Chinese food，I loved it.I 2.____________ (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables.When I learned more about the food，I began to understand why 3.____________ has this special feature.

　　Many years ago，China had 4.____________ energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor 5.____________ (manage) of its forests.This loss was very bad for the country，of course，but it turned out to be very good for the food.Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their 6.____________ (value) wood，or learn how to use it better.There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.

　　In order to economize in 7.____________ (cook)，they had to use very little wood.So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil.That way，the food cooked 8.____________ (fast) and they saved more fuel.The food 9.____________ (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor—and it’s this flavor 10.____________ attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

　　【文章大意】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了作者对中国食物的热爱和中国烹饪的由来。

　　1．解析：考查介词。句意：我们的办公室离唐人街不远……，be far from意为“离……远”，符合句意。故填from。

　　答案：from

　　2．解析：考查动词的时态。根据上下文的时态可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填noticed。

　　答案：noticed

　　3．解析：考查代词。句意：当我对这种食物了解得更多时，我开始明白为什么这种食物会如此特别。空格处与前一分句中的“the food”为同一事物，为了避免重复，故用代词“it”指代“the food”。故填it。

　　答案：it

　　4．解析：考查冠词。句意：多年以前，中国发生了一次能源危机……，空格处修饰“energy crisis”，表泛指，crisis在该句中为可数名词单数，且“energy”的读音以元音音素开头，因此填不定冠词an。

　　答案：an

　　5．解析：考查词性转换。根据空格前的形容词poor及空格后的介词of可知，空格处应为名词。故填management。

　　答案：management

　　6．解析：考查词性转换。空格后是名词wood，因此应用所给词的形容词形式修饰wood。故填valuable。

　　答案：valuable

　　7．解析：考查词性转换。介词in后用名词、代词或动名词。cook作名词时意为“厨师”，不合句意，因此要用其动名词形式cooking，意为“烹饪”。句意：为了在烹饪时能节省能源，他们不得不少用木头。故填cooking。

　　答案：cooking

　　8．解析：考查副词的比较级。“the food cooked ________”与and后的“they saved more fuel”是并列关系，故此处也应用副词fast的比较级faster。句意：那样，食物就煮得快些，他们就能节省更多的燃料。故填faster。

　　答案：faster

　　9．解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词是kept，故prepare是非谓语动词。prepare与主语The food之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用其过去分词形式。故填prepared。

　　答案：prepared

　　10．解析：考查强调句结构。根据句中的it’s可先假定本句为强调句，因此去掉it’s和空格后，剩余部分为“this flavor attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking”。此句成分和意义都完整。由此可知，本句是一个强调句，被强调部分为主语“this flavor”。强调句型的基本结构为“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that＋其他”。故填that。句意：正是这种味道吸引了其他国家的人来品味中国饮食文化。

　　答案：that
