(三)(2025·江苏苏州)
请认真阅读下面短文，在横线上填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
On Pingjiang Road in Suzhou，65-year-old Ms Wu runs a traditional tea house for 30 years. She never expected 1_ (oneself) to become a tea master who helped build a cultural bridge.
It started in 2015 when a German tourist named Klaus walked into her shop. With the help of a phone app，Ms Wu 2_ (patient) showed him the way to properly brew(沏)Biluo-chun，Suzhou's famous green tea. Klaus returned every day that week and 3_ (bring) more friends each time.
Seeing how 4 _ (interest) they were in Chinese tea，Ms Wu started a weekly activity called “Tea Culture Saturdays”. She showed foreigners 5_ to brew tea with traditional methods—from choosing the water temperature to 6_ (follow) tea-making rules. Her daughter Lily，a college student，helped translate.
Soon，her tea house was always crowded with 7_ (visit)，including students and business people from many places. “I used to think foreigners wouldn't understand our tea culture，8_ they love it deeply. Some of them even treat their friends with Chinese tea at home，” Ms Wu said.
One of her favourite 9_ (moment) was when Sarah，a Canadian，gave her a notebook filled with tea notes written in both English and Chinese. “This is why I keep teaching，” Ms Wu said，showing 10_ treasured notebook.
Now，her tea house appears in travel guides as “Suzhou's cultural living room”. For tourists，every cup of tea served is a window on the tea culture of this ancient city.

答案： 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。65 岁的 Wu 女士经营着一家传统茶馆已有 30 年，通过教外国人沏茶而帮助搭建了文化桥梁，其茶馆在旅游指南中被称为“苏州的文化客厅”。
1.herself 【解析】代词。此处指她从未想过自己会成为帮助搭建文化桥梁的茶艺大师。此处应用反身代词 herself 表示“她自己”。
知识点拨
反身代词
(1)强调主语自身。反身代词可强调动作由主语自己完成，通常置于句尾或动词后。如：She cooked the meal herself. 她自己做的饭。
(2)作固定搭配中的宾语。某些动词(短语)后需接反身代词作宾语。如：We enjoyed ourselves at the party. 我们在派对上玩得很开心。
注意:反身代词需与主语人称一致(如 I→myself, they→themselves)。
2.patiently 【解析】词性转换(adj. →adv.)。此处应用副词 patiently 作状语修饰动词 showed。
3.brought 【解析】一般过去时。根据本句中的 returned 和 and 可知，此处时态也应用一般过去时。
4.interested 【解析】词性转换(n. / v.→adj.)。此处需填形容词作 were 的表语。此处修饰人，应用 interested。
5.how 【解析】疑问词。此处指她向外国人展示如何用传统的方式沏茶。此处构成“疑问词+不定式”结构。how 如何。
6.following 【解析】动词的-ing 形式。此处作介词 to 的宾语，应用动名词 following。
7.visitors 【解析】名词的数。此处指游客，应用名词 visitor。根据空前的 crowded with 可知，此处应用可数名词的复数形式 visitors。
8.but 【解析】连词。空前讲“我曾经认为外国人不会理解我们的茶文化”。空后讲“他们深爱茶文化”。由此可知，前后分句为转折关系，应用 but 连接。
9.moments 【解析】名词的数。moment 是可数名词。固定用法“one of+复数名词”表示“……之一”。
10.the 【解析】冠词。根据上文的 a notebook 可知，此处特指上文提到的那个笔记本，应用定冠词 the 表特指。
