答案：

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。辛辛那提地区的Jordynn和她最好的朋友Skylar创办了一个名为“让孩子快乐”的组织,专门为孩子们提供节日礼物,为受疫情影响的儿童和家庭创造了一个比以往任何时候都更快乐的圣诞节。

1.merrier　解析考查形容词比较级。根据后文“thanever”可知,此处应用比较级,所以填merrier。

2.wasinspired　解析考查动词时态和语态。根据下文的“astheygrewup”可知,此处应用一般过去时。主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。

3.an　解析考查冠词。organization为可数名词,此处表泛指,由于organization是以元音音素开头的单词,所以填an。

4.Growing　解析考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,grow在句中是非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语JordynnandSkylar构成逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式作状语。

5.tomake　解析考查非谓语动词。表示“某人做某事的欲望”时要用“one’sdesiretodosth.”,此处用不定式作后置定语,故填tomake。

6.broke　解析考查动词时态。所填的词是since引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词,从句描述的是过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时。

7.as　解析考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示“作为”,所以用介词as。

8.donation(s)　解析考查名词。空处作宾语,表示“捐赠,捐款”,故应用名词donation,此处可用单数也可用复数形式。

9.beautifully　解析考查副词。所填的词修饰动词wrap,所以用副词形式,故填beautifully。

10.which　解析考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,修饰上文整个句子,从句中缺少主语,故应用关系代词which引导,that不能引导非限制性定语从句。

Ⅲ.　　

Good morning,dear friends.My name is Li Jin.High school life is coming to an end,so I will deliver a graduation speech as a student representative.

We have achieved a lot in the three years of high school.At least we have learned how to care about others,shoulder our responsibility and meet the challenge.Looking back on the past,my heart is full of infinite emotion.I remember every effort,every laugh,every drop of loss,every achievement and every expression.

Say “take care” to the teachers who always pay attention to us,and say “take care” to the beautiful campus.We will pack our bags,with the rising sun,full of confidence and dream,and set foot on a new journey.

Thank you.
