三、阅读理解

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at recess because her best friend wasnt around. Heres our advice to her — and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

Its hard when a best friend isnt around — maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class, or maybe shes just home sick for the day. Recess or lunchtime can feel lonely without her. Will it ever feel the same? You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there's always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids youd like to play with at recess. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or give a compliment(称赞). Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When youre at recess, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if youre feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say positive things, offer to help — and pretty soon, youll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn't have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!

21. What does the underlined phrase “at recess” in the first paragraph mean?

A. At breakfastB. At break

C. At night D. At school

22 The reader wrote to the writer because ____________ .

A. her best friend is ill in bed

B. she doesnt have any good friend

C. her best friend is not with her now

D. her best friend has moved to a different school

23. The writer gives the following advice on making new friends EXCEPT __________ .

A. ask parents for help

B. asking teachers for help

C. finding new friends in the classroom

D. making new friends during meal time

24. After you make new friends, _________ .

A. you will forget about your best friend

B. You will no longer miss your best friend

C. You may make your best friend angry

D. You can introduce them to your best friend

25. The writer of the passage is probably __________ .

A. a teacherB. a parent

C. an editor D. a classmate

One man met Socrates(苏格拉底) and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”. “Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything Id like you to pass a little test. Its called the Triple(三重) Filter(过滤) Test.”Socrates continued, “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what youre going to say. Thats why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” “No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and...”. “All right,” said Socrates. “So you don't know if its true or not. Now lets try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” .“No, on the contrary...”. “So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but youre not certain its true. You may still pass the test though, because theres one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?”“No, not really.” “Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”?

答案与解析

一、完形填空

腼腆的Whitney没有朋友,在大学的作文课上,她勇敢地说出自己的目标是交一个真正的好朋友,一名男生走上来与她握手,友谊开始了。

1. C。 “她并不想广受欢迎,但的确希望有一个可以分享秘密和欢笑的人”,所以选C。而lonely与句中but语气不符,所以排除B。

2. B。由下句“had no idea”可知,她对上大学感到“紧张,不安”。

3. A。纵观全文,Whitney上大学后终于交到了一个好朋友,所以是“改变了她的一生”。

4. D。因下句提到“She told everyone”以及“student share in such...”,用share比say更合文意。

5. A。在这种“情形”下。

6. C。取得好成绩,为“get a good grade”。

7. D。由上下文可知,Whitney的目标与大多数同学的目标“完全”不同,所以选D。

8. B。“自我介绍”,为introduce oneself。

9. D。根据语境,整个教室“静悄悄”的,全班同学目光集中在Whitney身上。

10. C。友谊开始了。

二、语法填空

很久以前,鸟类和兽类发生战争,蝙蝠投机取巧,总想站在胜利者一边。战争结束后,鸟类和兽类都不把蝙蝠当作朋友,所以它只好晚上出来活动了。

11. whose/which。引导宾语从句。句意:蝙蝠不知道他应该站在哪一方。

12. winners。名词,意思是“胜利者”。

13. would win。表示“将会赢”,因主句谓语动词thought为一般过去时,从句用过去将来时。

14. When。引导时间状语从句,“当……的时候”。

15. covered。过去分词作定语,修饰名词body。因是“被覆盖”,用过去分词表被动,相当于定语从句“which is covered”。

16. with。介词,意为“带有、具有”。

17. a。表示“又一,再一次”,序数词前用不定冠词。

18. they。指代the beasts and the birds。

19. Neither 。表示“两者都不”,为neither…nor…。

20. at。表示“在晚上”,为at night或in the night,此处没有定冠词,所以用at而不用in。

三、阅读理解

读者来信说,好友不在身边时感到孤独,作者建议结交新朋友。

21. B。词义猜测题。文章前三段出现四次“Recess”,综合各语境,可知“at recess”意为“休息时间”,与“at break”同义。

22. C。细节理解题。由第一段“because her best friend wasnt around”可知。其余三项只是作者对好友不在身边的原因进行猜测。

23. A。细节理解题。在第三段中可以找到C、D两项的内容;第四段可以找到B项内容。A项文中未提及,故选A。

24. D。细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知。

25. C。推理判断题。根据第一段“A reader”可知,作者为“编辑(editor)”。

四、基础写作(One possible version)

Dear Peter,

I am writing to ask whether you are able to introduce a pen friend to me.

I hope my pen friend is a girl one or two years older than me, so she can instruct/help me in my studies and life. In my mind, she is someone who is interested in collecting stamps, traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. With such a pen friend, I can share with her our experience in hobbies. Besides, it would be better if she has time to spend several hours on the Internet every week so that I can improve both my written and spoken English by writing her emails and chatting with her online.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Li Hua

五、读写任务(One possible version)

One man wanted to talk to Socrates about his friends, so Socrates tested it with “the Triple Filter”. When he found what the man wanted to say was neither true nor good nor useful, he wouldnt listen to him.

From the story we know that some people like gossiping. Some gossip just for fun, while others do it on purpose in order to hurt the people they dislike.

If I happen to hear a rumor about my friend, I will not repeat it - and even not listen to it; instead, Ill tell people to stop gossiping. If they dont listen to me, Ill stay away from them.

If I know someone is gossiping about me, Ill try to tell them the truth and ask them not to say that again. If they still dont listen to me, Ill ignore them, or, if I feel too upset to calm myself down, Ill try to talk to a close friend, parent, or teacher who can help me feel better.
