Two years ago I was very lonely and didn't talk with anyone about my feelings. At the time I didn't have many friends. I wanted someone to share my experiences and secrets with. I wanted someone to understand me. I started to imagine this friend. Often I imagined our conversations and what we would do, but I didn't give my imagination a face.
Some weeks later I started a new project in school and I was working with one of my schoolmates. We had never worked together before but we got along well. After the project we started to spend some time together in school. One day we decided to take a walk. Ever since that walk we've been friends. We listened to and really understood each other.
I had wished for a best friend, but the universe gave me so much more. I have met one of my soulmates（知己）. We can sense each other, and it just takes one look and we know what the other is thinking. I never thought our friendship could grow much stronger. But now we have known each other for two years and our friendship is growing all the time.
It hasn't only been easy. We have gone through both easy and hard times. But I'm grateful for the hard times, because they have forced me to grow and taught me a lot. My best friend has changed me. She has made me believe in myself. And I am now focusing on achieving one of my biggest dreams. Without her, I wouldn't even have realized what my biggest dreams are.
I know there are soulmates out in the world for you. I am so thankful to have met one of mine. Believe in them, and your paths will cross.

Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends-532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee's online friendships could be making her lonely That's what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen Much of this time is spent on social media platforms（平台）.
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. "There's definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other, " says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can s get in the way of forming deep friendships. "If f we are constantly paying attention to our virtual world, we will have little time for our real-world friendships," says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today's kids might mistake the "friends" on social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don't need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
5. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text.
B. To tell about true friends.
C. To bring up a discussion.
D. To encourage online friendships.
6. What does the underlined part "in the flesh" mean in Paragraph 3
A. In person.
B. In advance.
C. In any case.
D. In full measure.
7. What is Katie's attitude towards online communication
A. Worried.
B. Positive.
C. Confused.
D. Unconcerned.
8. What view does Rosen hold
A. It's wise to turn to friends online.
B. It's easier to develop friendships in reality.
C. Social media help people stay closely connected.
D. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.

参考答案：
一、阅读理解
A
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过一个学校课题结识了一个女孩，并与她结为心意相通、共同成长的挚友。
1.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的Two years ago I was very lonely and didn't talk with anyone about my feelings...I started to imagine this friend.（两年前，我非常孤独，不和任何人谈论我的感受。那时候我没有很多朋友。我想找人分享我的经历和秘密。我希望有人能理解我。我开始想象这个朋友。）可知，作者当时没有可以倾诉的朋友，倍感孤独的她在脑海中想象了一个朋友。故选D。由第一段中的didn't talk with anyone about my feelings可知C项“她告诉其他人她的感受”与文中表述不符；A项“她选择一个人待着”和B项“她花了时间和其他朋友在一起”在文中均未提及。
2.C细节理解题。由第二段中的Some weeks later I started a new project in school and I was working with one of my schoolmates.可知，几周后，“我”在学校开始了一个新课题，“我”和“我”的一个同学一起进行这个课题，下文就谈到她通过这个课题与这个同学逐渐互相了解，慢慢熟识，并且最后成为知己。故选C。由第二段中的One day we decided to take a walk. Ever since that walk we've been friends.可知A项“通过散步”是在她们最终成为朋友的时候，而不是她们逐渐互相了解的方式，与题意不符，故排除A项；B项“通过参加一个聚会”和D项“通过一个朋友的介绍”均未提及。
3.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的now we have known each other for two years and our friendship is growing all the time知，作者和她的知己的友谊日益增进。故选A。由第三段中的I have met one of my soulmates（知己）.可知作者不止有一个知己，所以排除B项“她是作者唯一的知己”；由第四段中I am now focusing on achieving one of my biggest dreams知作者在努力实现梦想，但文中未提她的知己努力实现梦想所以排除C项“她们努力实现她们的梦想”；D项“作者对她们的友谊几乎没有自信”与原文不符，综合全文可知作者对她们的友谊很自信、很珍惜。
4.C细节理解题。由第四段中的It hasn't only been easy. We have gone through both easy and hard times. But I'm grateful for the hard times，because they have forced me to grow and taught me a lot.可知，艰难的时光促使作者成长，也教会了她很多，也就是作者从中学到了很多。故选C。
B
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。现在的青少年把更多的时间用于网上交友，这样的现象让专家很担忧。专家认为青少年如果不断地关注虚拟世界，他们将几乎没有时间在现实世界建立真正的友谊。
5.C推理判断题。根据第一段可知，13岁的Kaylee有很多朋友，实际上前提是如果你把她的网上的好友都算上的话。并且她会花很多时间和他们在一起。因此第一段阐述了一种社会现象，目的是提出一个话题，从而引出下文对于这个话题的讨论，故选C项。
6.A词义猜测题。根据画线部分前During your parents' childhoods..和画线部分后Kids played Scrabble around a table，not Words With Friends on their phones.可推知，在你父母的童年时期，与朋友相处通常意味着亲自花时间与他们在一起。孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends。由此可以推断出，画线部分in the flesh 意为“亲自”，故选A项。B项“提前”、C项“不管怎样，无论如何”和D项“最大程度地”均不符合题意。
7.B观点态度题。根据第五段中In fact，in many ways...with each other可知，事实上，在很多方面，在线交流可以使朋友关系更加牢固，这绝对有积极的影响。孩子们可以经常保持联系，这意味着他们可以彼此分享更多他们的感受。因此，Katie对在网上交流持乐观态度。worried担忧的；positive积极的；confused困惑的；unconcerned不关心的。故选B。
8.D细节理解题。根据最后一段中If we are constantly paying attention to our virtual world，we will have little time for our real-world friendships（如果我们不断关注我们的虚拟世界，我们将几乎没有时间留给现实世界的友谊。）及Rosen also worries...talk face to face.（Rosen还担心，现在的孩子可能会把社交媒体上的“朋友”误认为是生活中真正的朋友。然而，在困难时期，你不需要有人喜欢你的照片或分享你的博客。你需要一个能保守你的秘密并能帮你一把的人。你想面对面谈谈。）因此，Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界的友谊，故选D项。A项“向网上的朋友寻求帮助是明智的。”、B项“在现实中发展友谊更容易。”和C项“社交媒体帮助人们保持密切联系。”均不符合题意。
二、语法填空
语篇解读：本文通过一个故事告诉我们对朋友信守承诺的重要性。

2.importance考查词性转换。句意：因此，遵守诺言的重要性怎么强调都不为过。定冠词the后应用名词形式。总结：以-t结尾的形容词变-t为-ce构成名词小结：absent→absence（缺席；缺乏）；significant→significance（重要性；意义）；confident→confidence（（自信心）；patient→patience（耐心）；intelligent→intelligence（智力，才智）；violent→violence（暴力，暴行）；distant→distance（距离）；silent→silence（沉默）。
3.breaking考查非谓语动词。句意：有一个关于某人违背对他的朋友的诺言的故事。someone与break之间为主动关系，故使用v.-ing形式。
4.who/that考查定语从句。句意：一起穿过森林的两个人承诺，无论什么危险危及他们，都要互相帮助。先行词为Two men，关系词在定语从句中作主语，故应用关系代词who/that。

7.best考查形容词的比较等级。此处表示“我最好的朋友”因此应使用最高级。
8.calmly考查词性转换。句意：另一个人平静地回答说：“它让我告诉你，你是个十足的懦夫，将来我不应该相信那些做出美好承诺但在危险中却不站在朋友一边的人。”修饰动词replied应用副词形式。
9.a考查冠词。句意同上。此处表示泛指，coward为可数名词，且great的第一个音素为辅音音素，故用不定冠词a。
