When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me!” she cried. “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!”
Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me.
Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”
She nodded.
“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”
She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”
“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.”
She looked up at me and said, “I understand. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket.”
4. What was Sara’s problem
A. She didn’t have a basket. B. She didn’t want her own basket.
C. She couldn’t deal with her friendship. D. Her mother was too hard on her.

I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (挤过) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (双语的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I’m not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I’m not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can’t understand these people who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I’m not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.

A. upset B. strange
C. normal D. different
9. When the author returns to America, _____.

In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite (背诵) them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
12. The writer often asks his students to recite the texts, _______.
A. but they don’t like to do so B. but they wrote a letter to report the thing
C. and they are willing to do so D. but they do exercises instead of reciting
13. What do the students think about the teacher’s advice
A. The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.
B. The English teacher is very kind to them.
C. The English teacher asks them to do something useless.
D The English teacher should let them study on their own.
14. According to the text, which of the following is correct
A. The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn English well.
B. The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and get nothing.
C. The students say that they often forget the words.
D. The students take no interest in English.
15. When the students are against his suggestion, the writer_______.
A. often gets angry with them
B. patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts
C. wants to give up his idea
D. is afraid that he will be punished by the headmaster

猜词悟义。任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。①抓住所需推断词汇前后的“mean”或系动词或破折号等直接定义该词的部分。
②抓住文章主旨与该段所表达的中心。特别对于议论文要牢记论点与论据的相互支撑关系。③通过例证、比喻、对照、插入语等语法结构推断词义。34.【小题3】C词义猜测题。根据划线此后所说的“人是来自世界各地的人、知道如何适应不同文化、去过别人只在地理课本上见到的地方”等可知，这些都是旅居海外的益处，故此处perks有“好处、优势”之意，故选C。

Sometimes people can have fights, but friendship is a valuable gift.___16___ But with a little effort to step outside of your comfort zone(舒适区), you can easily make friends. Here you can find some places to make new friends.

However, if you like a specific topic, try finding a place where you can meet people who share that interest.
___18___ A common mistake is that you have to be really good at playing a special sport in order to make friends with others on the team. In fact, as long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a team with a relaxed attitude could be a great way to make new friends.
Volunteer. Volunteering is also a good way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together, you’ll build relationships with people.___19___
Make yourself available. If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out there somehow to meet people.___20___ It doesn’t have to be a crowded table, but one with at least two other people. Remember, friends seldom come knocking on your door while you sit alone at home.

【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种交到好朋友的方法。
【16题详解】
根据前文的but friendship is a valuable gift.但是友谊是一份珍贵的礼物，以及下文的you can easily make friends. Here you can find some places to make new friends. 你可以很容易地交到朋友。在这里你可以找到一些地方结交新朋友。可知，D选项中的friends和上下文相呼应，前文提到友谊是一份珍贵的礼物，此处表示好朋友很难找，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据本段的主旨句Join an organization or a club.可知本段讲的交好朋友的方法是加入某个组织或者俱乐部，故E选项中common interests和主旨句相呼应，再根据下文可知，一些最有价值的友谊发生在两个完全没有共同点的人之间，故此处表示你不需要有很多共同的兴趣与人交朋友。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据文章结构可知，空处选择段落主旨句。根据下文内容可知，只要你喜欢某项运动，带着放松的态度加入某个团队也是结交新朋友的好方法，故本段与运动关系，因此A项（加入一个运动团队）可概括本段，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据本段的主旨句Volunteer. 可知本段和志愿服务有关，故G选项的devote your time和本段主旨相呼应，又根据空前句子可知，通过共同努力，你会与他人建立关系。和选项内容（这样你就可以把时间花在当地的养老院或医院）呈因果关系，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据下文的It doesn’t have to be a crowded table, but one with at least two other people. 这张桌子不一定要很拥挤，但至少要有两个人。可知，B选项中的sit somewhere with other people和下文相呼应，且语意（如果你还在上学，找个地方和其他人坐在一起）承接下文，故选B。
【点睛】单词复现法是七选五常用的方法之一，也就是说选项中的某些单词在文章当中重复出现，我们可以利用这个方法解决这一类题型。第1小题空前谈到“friends”，D项中的“friends”和上文相呼应，就是利用这个方法。

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对吉他的热爱。
【详解】1.考查固定搭配。句意：当我还是个孩子的时候，我花了十多年的时间学习小提琴。固定搭配：sb spend time （in）doing sth.某人在做某事上花费时间作某事，故把learn改成learning。
2.考查副词。句意：当我还是个孩子的时候，我花了十多年的时间学习小提琴。然而，我不能理解真正的音乐。上下句之间是一种转折关系，故把Therefore改成However。
3.考查固定搭配。句意：高中毕业后，我的一个朋友建议我们开始学习吉他，因为我们都认为它很酷。叙述过去的事，应用一般过去时，故将graduate改为graduated。
4.考查名词性从句中的虚拟语气。句意：我的一个朋友建议我们开始学吉他，因为我们都觉得它很酷。动词suggest后面的宾语从句用虚拟语气，（should）+动词原形，故把started改成start。

6.考查定语从句。句意：我永远不会忘记我们去吉他店买吉他的那一天。此处the day作先行词，在后面的定语从句中作时间状语，因介词放于连接词的前面，为“介词+which”的结构，故将that改为which。
6.考查冠词。句意：他成了我的第一个吉他老师。guitar前有形容词性的物主代词my，不应用定冠词。故将the去掉。
7.考查固定句式。句意：我花了好长时间才从好几个型号中挑选了一把。It takes somebody some time to do sth.做某事花费某人多长时间，故在choose前加to。
9.考查名词复数。句意见上题解析。several“几个”，后面跟可数名词复数，故把model改成models。
