Home to a growing Black immigrant population
黑人移民不断增长的家园
　　Titile Keskessa was 15 years old when she “almost got beat up” by a classmate for asking, the day after Martin Luther King Jr.Day, who exactly this King guy was.It was 1987, and Keskessa had recently moved from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Memphis, Tenn.— the city where King was killed. At the time, the significance of the interaction was mostly lost on Keskessa.She was the new kid at school, in a new country, learning a new language.Homesick and culture-shocked, finding her way to her classes was challengeable enough.Understanding the political and social importance of the leader of a movement she’d never heard of was altogether too much. Looking back, Keskessa thinks this was probably one of the first moments when she began to understand that there was a gap, wide as a canyon, between her experiences and those of her classmates.One that wasn’t about nationality, but something they all shared: race. 　　As an Ethiopian, Keskessa is Black.She’s always been aware of that.But suddenly, she was Black in the United States—and specifically, in Memphis—a city steeped in all the richness of Black American culture.What exactly would that mean as she navigated this new country Keskessa, like so many other Black immigrants, had no idea.But she would spend the next 3.5 decades figuring it out.It was a journey that would involve moments of confusion, sadness and misunderstanding.But one that would also be punctuated with joy,humor,discovery and recognition. The South is often considered the birthplace and heartland of Black American culture.It’s where, out of the necessity of slavery, Africans birthed a new identity.It’s the origin of countless cultural touchstones, from soul food to signifying and from gospel to the Blues.The South has also been the center point of Black political organizing and political history; from abolition to Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement to today’s fights to protect voting rights. —https://www.npr.org / (同源高考:2023年新高考Ⅰ卷D篇阅读、2024年 新高考Ⅱ卷B篇阅读均选自本网站)
【名师原创】 1.What is the main factor that differs Titile Keskessa from other Americans (C) A.Knowledge.　　 B.Birthplace. C.Identity. D.Personality. 2.Why do black people like to live in Memphis (B) A.Because the city fought for civil rights of slaves in history. B.Because the city witnessed the development of black cultures. C.Because the city contains immigrants from different cultures. D.Because the city has a range of attractions including a canyon. 【长难句分析】 Looking back, Keskessa thinks this was probably one of the first moments when she began to understand that there was a gap, wide as a canyon, between her experiences and those of her classmates. 此句中的Looking back是动词-ing形式作状语,相当于状语从句When she looks back;主句含有when引导的时间状语从句,其中的understand后接一个that引导的宾语从句。

阅读 理解 1—4 √ 食物在不同文化交流中的桥梁作用 2026·广州模拟 人与社会 和地理、历史的结合
　　On a cool September evening, I found myself seated around a worn wooden table at a Dungan family’s home in Kyrgyzstan, surrounded by travelers from Spain, Canada, and Russia.The table was set with slices of watermelon as well as cucumber and tomato salads.Our hostess Mrs Zhang then served us a bamboo basket of steaming jin momo—soft buns similar to Chinese baozi—while explaining how her ancestors had brought wheat growing techniques from northwestern China during the late 19th century.Soon the table was filled with dishes telling silent stories: cucumber salads carrying Gansu flavors and lagman noodles mixing Central Asian vegetables with Shaanxi hand-pulling techniques.
　As people drank tea and talked in different languages,I gradually understood this gathering was more than a meal.The Spanish architect beside me was amazed at how food could preserve cultural codes across centuries and borders.The Canadian teacher noted that Mrs Zhang’s kitchen—where Chinese chopping knives met Kyrgyz clay pots—mirrored today’s globalized world.
　The scene reminds me of Lisa Kyung Gross’ research in New York.Her documentation of immigrant chefs shows food’s double magic: Spanish bakers reinvent date cookies by dipping them in Belgian chocolate, adding new charm and flavors to traditional food.As Gross poetically notes, every bite contains layers of history, yet remains open to new understandings.
　Perhaps this food magic explains why UNESCO lists 38 food traditions as Intangible Cultural Heritage. From Japanese seasonal philosophy to Italian pizza-making skills, these living traditions show how cooking practices maintain identities while encouraging dialogues.That night in Dungan House, the Russian software engineer’s laughter as he struggled with chopsticks perfectly conveyed the message—cultural exchange isn’t about perfection, but shared humanity.

　Hat, gloves, coat, scarf pulled over my face.And out I adventured under a moonlit sky spotted with a million stars.I was part way through my dream holiday to Lapland.The day’s agenda was a journey by bus and train from Tromso, Norway, to Abisko, Sweden, through Narvik, and I had no idea what a magical experience it would turn out to be.
　The silence of the sleeping city was broken only by the hurried, rhythmic advancing of my boots on the morning snow, as I tried to make it to the bus before tiny pieces of ice could form on my head.Despite the early hour, the bus was half full, with the smell of packed breakfasts hanging in the air.Leaving behind the deserted city streets, it moved over the snow-packed roads.We passed lonely wooden houses built on hillsides, with windows lit by candles burning bright. Stretching my neck to look upwards, I saw the outlines of rolling mountain peaks.I was attracted by the fairy tale scenery.
　Nearing Narvik, the road hugged the sides of a deep, black valley, and once at the railway station, I wandered along a foot-printed pathway through the knee-high snow, gratefully diving into my train’s warm carriage.As soon as we set off, the train climbed along the mountain sides, while I looked back at the now distant valley.The track-side snow deepened, often reaching the window frames of the colourful buildings in villages without a soul in sight. I had never seen so much snow, and I couldn’t tear myself away from the unfolding scenery as we dragged along towards Sweden.
　All too soon, the train arrived at its destination and, hesitantly, I gathered my belongings, ready for the next part of my trip.While I wasn’t lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights in Abisko, I did so later on in my trip.But I will never forget the magical journey I took that day across an Arctic fairy tale wonderland.

Ⅱ.语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
　　March 14 is right around the corner, and math learners know 9._______ that means.It’s Pi Day, a holiday honoring one of math’s most famous constants (常量): pi.
　The number pi, or π, is equal to the circumference (圆周长) of a circle 10._______ (divide) by the circle’s diameter (直径).That comes out to about 3.14159.This is true for circles of all sizes, from 11._______ (penny) to pizzas to planets.Pi’s value is often rounded to 3.14.That’s why Pi Day 12._______ (celebrate) on March 14.It’s also why one Earth-sized planet orbiting another star every 3.14 days is nicknamed “Pi Earth”.
　But the exact value of pi is 13._______ (actual) impossible to write out.Last year, a 14._______ (power) computer calculated pi to record-breaking 62.8 trillion (万亿) figures.And in 2005, one 23-year-old used clever mental tricks to recite nearly 68,000 of those figures from memory.No one, though, will ever get to 15._______ end of pi.
　Historians aren’t sure when people first 16._______(discover) the concept of pi.But it’s been known in some form 17._______ almost 4,000 years.Ancient Greeks and Babylonians knew estimates of it.The Egyptians may have used pi 18._______ (build) the pyramids.And still today, pi is used in just about all math involving circles.
【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章介绍了数学里面最著名的常量之一:圆周率π。作为一个无限不循环小数,有人挑战记忆它的巨长的数字,但是无人能背到它的最后一个数字。它的作用很大,被运用到很多领域之中。
9.【解析】what。考查宾语从句。句意:3月14日即将到来,数学学习者知道那意味着什么。分析句子可知,know“知道”后接宾语从句,需要使用关系代词what引导,在从句中作主语。故填what。
10.【解析】divided。考查过去分词。句意:π等于圆的周长除以圆的直径。分析句子可知,此处divide“除以”需要使用过去分词形式,作the circumference of a circle“圆的周长”的后置定语,即被除以直径的圆周长。故填divided。
11.【解析】pennies。考查名词复数。句意:这适用于各种大小的圆圈,从便士到比萨,再到行星。分析句子可知,此处无表示单数的量词或冠词修饰可数名词penny“便士”,需要填写复数形式pennies。故填pennies。
12.【解析】is celebrated。考查时态和语态。句意:那就是为什么在3月14日庆祝圆周率日。分析句子可知,此处动词celebrate“庆祝”作表语从句的谓语动词,使用一般现在时的被动语态表示“被庆祝”。故填is celebrated。
13.【解析】actually。考查副词。句意:但pi的确切值实际上不可能写出。分析句子可知,此处形容词actual“实际的”需要使用副词形式,修饰后面的形容词impossible“不可能”。故填actually。
14.【解析】powerful。考查形容词。句意:去年,一台强大的计算机计算出了破纪录的62.8万亿数字。分析句子可知,此处名词power“力量”需要改为形容词powerful “强大的”作定语修饰computer。故填powerful。
15.【解析】the。考查定冠词。句意:然而,没有人会算到圆周率的最后一个数字。分析句子可知,此处需要添加定冠词the表示特指圆周率这个数字的终点。故填the。
16.【解析】discovered。考查动词时态。句意:历史学家不确定人们何时首次发现圆周率的概念。分析句子可知,此处discover“发现”作宾语从句的谓语动词,与主语people构成主动关系,且是过去发生的事情,故使用一般过去时。故填discovered。
17.【解析】for。考查介词。句意:但它已经以某种形式被知道了将近4 000年。分析句子可知,此处时间状语almost 4,000 years“将近4 000年”表示持续的时间,使用介词for连接符合语法规则。故填for。
18.【解析】to build。考查不定式。句意:埃及人可能使用了圆周率修筑金字塔。分析句子可知,动词build“修建”需要使用不定式,表示使用圆周率的目的。故填to build。(共67张PPT)

Home to a growing Black immigrant population
黑人移民不断增长的家园
　　Titile Keskessa was 15 years old when she “almost got beat up” by a classmate for asking, the day after Martin Luther King Jr.Day, who exactly this King guy was.It was 1987, and Keskessa had recently moved from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Memphis, Tenn.— the city where King was killed.
　　At the time, the significance of the interaction was mostly lost on Keskessa.She was the new kid at school, in a new country, learning a new language.Homesick and culture-shocked, finding her way to her classes was challengeable enough.Understanding the political and social importance of the leader of a movement she’d never heard of was altogether too much.
　　Looking back, Keskessa thinks this was probably one of the first moments when she began to understand that there was a gap, wide as a canyon, between her experiences and those of her classmates.One that wasn’t about nationality, but something they all shared: race.
　　As an Ethiopian, Keskessa is Black.She’s always been aware of that.But suddenly, she was Black in the United States—and specifically, in Memphis—a city steeped in all the richness of Black American culture.What exactly would that mean as she navigated this new country Keskessa, like so many other Black immigrants, had no idea.But she would spend the next 3.5 decades figuring it out.It was a journey that would involve moments of confusion, sadness and misunderstanding.But one that would also be punctuated with joy,humor,discovery and recognition.
　　The South is often considered the birthplace and heartland of Black American culture.It’s where, out of the necessity of slavery, Africans birthed a new identity.It’s the origin of countless cultural touchstones, from soul food to signifying and from gospel to the Blues.The South has also been the center point of Black political organizing and political history; from abolition to Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement to today’s fights to protect voting rights.

　　I’m Li Hua, an enthusiastic fan of your travel vlogs.Inspired by your wonderful videos introducing various amazing places around the world, I recently have had a plan to shoot a short video to promote the scenic spots in my hometown to foreign netizens.
　　The video will follow “A Day’s Life”, featuring scenes such as the busy morning market, the inviting traditional cuisine, and the breathtaking natural landscape of my hometown, ending up with smiling faces of local residents to convey a sense of warmth and hospitality.I’m wondering if this would actually interest foreign viewers from your point of view.
　　Besides, I’m struggling with camera movements and the pace when editing.Do you have any professional advice as an experienced travel blogger Looking forward to your reply as soon as possible.
Best regards,

阅读 理解 1—4 √ 食物在不同文化交流中的桥梁作用 2026·广州模拟 人与社会 和地理、历 史的结合
　　On a cool September evening, I found myself seated around a worn wooden table at a Dungan family’s home in Kyrgyzstan, surrounded by travelers from Spain, Canada, and Russia.The table was set with slices of watermelon as well as cucumber and tomato salads.Our hostess Mrs Zhang then served us a bamboo basket of steaming jin momo—soft buns similar to Chinese baozi—while explaining how her ancestors had brought wheat growing techniques from northwestern China during the late 19th century.Soon the table was filled with dishes telling silent stories: cucumber salads carrying Gansu flavors and lagman noodles mixing Central Asian vegetables with Shaanxi hand-pulling techniques.
As people drank tea and talked in different languages,I gradually understood this gathering was more than a meal.The Spanish architect beside me was amazed at how food could preserve cultural codes across centuries and borders.The Canadian teacher noted that Mrs Zhang’s kitchen—where Chinese chopping knives met Kyrgyz clay pots—mirrored today’s globalized world.
The scene reminds me of Lisa Kyung Gross’ research in New York.Her documentation of immigrant chefs shows food’s double magic: Spanish bakers reinvent date cookies by dipping them in Belgian chocolate, adding new charm and flavors to traditional food.As Gross poetically notes, every bite contains layers of history, yet remains open to new understandings.
Perhaps this food magic explains why UNESCO lists 38 food traditions as Intangible Cultural Heritage. From Japanese seasonal philosophy to Italian pizza-making skills, these living traditions show how cooking practices maintain identities while encouraging dialogues.That night in Dungan House, the Russian software engineer’s laughter as he struggled with chopsticks perfectly conveyed the message—cultural exchange isn’t about perfection, but shared humanity.

Hat, gloves, coat, scarf pulled over my face.And out I adventured under a moonlit sky spotted with a million stars.I was part way through my dream holiday to Lapland.The day’s agenda was a journey by bus and train from Tromso, Norway, to Abisko, Sweden, through Narvik, and I had no idea what a magical experience it would turn out to be.
The silence of the sleeping city was broken only by the hurried, rhythmic advancing of my boots on the morning snow, as I tried to make it to the bus before tiny pieces of ice could form on my head.Despite the early hour, the bus was half full, with the smell of packed breakfasts hanging in the air.Leaving behind the deserted city streets, it moved over the snow-packed roads.We passed lonely wooden houses built on hillsides, with windows lit by candles burning bright. Stretching my neck to look upwards, I saw the outlines of rolling mountain peaks.I was attracted by the fairy tale scenery.
Nearing Narvik, the road hugged the sides of a deep, black valley, and once at the railway station, I wandered along a foot-printed pathway through the knee-high snow, gratefully diving into my train’s warm carriage.As soon as we set off, the train climbed along the mountain sides, while I looked back at the now distant valley.The track-side snow deepened, often reaching the window frames of the colourful buildings in villages without a soul in sight. I had never seen so much snow, and I couldn’t tear myself away from the unfolding scenery as we dragged along towards Sweden.
All too soon, the train arrived at its destination and, hesitantly, I gathered my belongings, ready for the next part of my trip.While I wasn’t lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights in Abisko, I did so later on in my trip.But I will never forget the magical journey I took that day across an Arctic fairy tale wonderland.

Ⅱ.语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
March 14 is right around the corner, and math learners know 9._______ that means.It’s Pi Day, a holiday honoring one of math’s most famous constants (常量): pi.
The number pi, or π, is equal to the circumference (圆周长) of a circle 10._______ (divide) by the circle’s diameter (直径).That comes out to about 3.14159.This is true for circles of all sizes, from 11._______ (penny) to pizzas to planets.Pi’s value is often rounded to 3.14.That’s why Pi Day 12._______ (celebrate) on March 14.It’s also why one Earth-sized planet orbiting another star every 3.14 days is nicknamed “Pi Earth”.
But the exact value of pi is 13._______ (actual) impossible to write out.Last year, a 14._______ (power) computer calculated pi to record-breaking 62.8 trillion (万亿) figures.And in 2005, one 23-year-old used clever mental tricks to recite nearly 68,000 of those figures from memory.No one, though, will ever get to 15._______ end of pi.
Historians aren’t sure when people first 16._______(discover) the concept of pi.But it’s been known in some form 17._______ almost 4,000 years.Ancient Greeks and Babylonians knew estimates of it.The Egyptians may have used pi 18._______ (build) the pyramids.And still today, pi is used in just about all math involving circles.
【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章介绍了数学里面最著名的常量之一:圆周率π。作为一个无限不循环小数,有人挑战记忆它的巨长的数字,但是无人能背到它的最后一个数字。它的作用很大,被运用到很多领域之中。
9.【解析】what。考查宾语从句。句意:3月14日即将到来,数学学习者知道那意味着什么。分析句子可知,know“知道”后接宾语从句,需要使用关系代词what引导,在从句中作主语。故填what。
10.【解析】divided。考查过去分词。句意:π等于圆的周长除以圆的直径。分析句子可知,此处divide“除以”需要使用过去分词形式,作the circumference of a circle“圆的周长”的后置定语,即被除以直径的圆周长。故填divided。
11.【解析】pennies。考查名词复数。句意:这适用于各种大小的圆圈,从便士到比萨,再到行星。分析句子可知,此处无表示单数的量词或冠词修饰可数名词penny“便士”,需要填写复数形式pennies。故填pennies。
12.【解析】is celebrated。考查时态和语态。句意:那就是为什么在3月14日庆祝圆周率日。分析句子可知,此处动词celebrate“庆祝”作表语从句的谓语动词,使用一般现在时的被动语态表示“被庆祝”。故填is celebrated。
13.【解析】actually。考查副词。句意:但pi的确切值实际上不可能写出。分析句子可知,此处形容词actual“实际的”需要使用副词形式,修饰后面的形容词impossible“不可能”。故填actually。
14.【解析】powerful。考查形容词。句意:去年,一台强大的计算机计算出了破纪录的62.8万亿数字。分析句子可知,此处名词power“力量”需要改为形容词powerful “强大的”作定语修饰computer。故填powerful。
15.【解析】the。考查定冠词。句意:然而,没有人会算到圆周率的最后一个数字。分析句子可知,此处需要添加定冠词the表示特指圆周率这个数字的终点。故填the。
16.【解析】discovered。考查动词时态。句意:历史学家不确定人们何时首次发现圆周率的概念。分析句子可知,此处discover“发现”作宾语从句的谓语动词,与主语people构成主动关系,且是过去发生的事情,故使用一般过去时。故填discovered。
17.【解析】for。考查介词。句意:但它已经以某种形式被知道了将近4 000年。分析句子可知,此处时间状语almost 4,000 years“将近4 000年”表示持续的时间,使用介词for连接符合语法规则。故填for。
18.【解析】to build。考查不定式。句意:埃及人可能使用了圆周率修筑金字塔。分析句子可知,动词build“修建”需要使用不定式,表示使用圆周率的目的。故填to build。
