A shop owner placed a sign above his door that said：“Puppies for Sale.” Signs like this always have a way of attracting young children, and to no surprise, a boy saw the sign and approached the owner.
“How much are you going to sell the puppies for？” he asked.
The shop owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.”
The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket.“I have $2.37，” he said.“Can I please look at them？”
The shop owner smiled and whistled. A lady ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five tiny balls of fur.
One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said, “What's wrong with that little dog？”
The shop owner explained that the puppy was born disabled and it would always be lame. The little boy became excited, “I'll buy it.” The shop owner said, “No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you.” The little boy looked straight into the shop owner's eyes and said, “I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I pay it off.”
The shop owner countered,_“You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and play with you like the other puppies.”
To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace.He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well. I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands！”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个有残疾的小男孩专门买了一只天生残疾的小狗的故事。

C．Yelled. D．Blamed.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文店主所说的“你不会真的想买这只小狗。它永远不会像其他小狗一样跑和陪你玩”可知，店主在与小男孩争论，劝小男孩不要买这只小狗，故B项与画线词的意义最接近。
7．What does the passage mainly convey to us

C
Last week was Sports Day at my daughter's school.She was part of the Yellow House.She had to wear yellow and race for points.The Yellow House won.I was really pleased for my daughter because last year the Green House won.In fact, when the winning house was announced last year, many little faces turned sour.There were many tears and children were bitter because they had lost.
Losing is never fun.From a young age children know that winning is the best result.As parents, we can talk to children about the importance of everyone having a chance to win; we can teach our children to be happy for their friends when a friend wins.
As children grow older they will be exposed to more and more competition.It is important that we teach our children to learn to “bounce back” from losses, to experience loss in a positive way and to keep on going even when they don't achieve the desired outcome.
By teaching children now to be resilient (适应性强的), we can prepare them for adult life in the future.Our children can learn to compete for fun and learn how to bounce back from life's failures and disappointments.
We can talk to our children about competition.We can teach by example and show our kids that losing a game or failing a test is not the end.Losing is simply a chance to try again and a chance to become more successful.
Raising emotionally healthy children is very important for the future generation and by teaching our children the above principles we can help them to overcome the difficulties of life and they will learn to compete in healthy ways throughout their lives.

D
“Sorry, but I don't agree with you ...” This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears.I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend.I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego (自尊心) is hurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either.” But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I don't agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter.However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth.That's when I need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully.While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love.We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions.Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.
语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了如何客观对待与别人不一致的观点。
12．The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone because ________.
A．he is a friendly person
B．he usually hides his ideas
C．he has no mind of his own
D．he wants to keep the friendship
解析：选D 细节理解题。由第一段中的“I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend.” 可知，作者不想失去朋友，因此发现很难表达跟朋友相悖的观点。
13．When a friend disagreed with him, the author used to ________.
A．be unhappy
B．argue with the friend
C．break up with the friend
D．explain things calmly
解析：选A 推理判断题。由第二段中的“...my usual response would be，‘If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either.’”可知，过去当朋友跟自己观点相悖时，作者常会感到不高兴。
14．The author will listen to a friend when ________.
A．he is against the truth
B．he doesn't tell the truth
C．he is respected by the friend
D．he does things in the wrong way
解析：选A 细节理解题。由第二段中的“However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth.That's when I need to listen to what she says.”可知，当自己违背事实时，作者会认真倾听。
15．What does the author mainly talk about in the text
A．How to keep friendship.
B．How to avoid hurting a friend.
C．How to express disagreements.
D．How to deal with disagreements.

Signs of Healthy Friendships
Once in a while it's helpful to see if your friendship is as healthy as it can be. You might get used to a friendship over time to the point where you don't see the room for improvement. And since great friendships are priceless, you should always surround yourself with the kind of people who will lift your spirits, make you laugh, and remind you that you are loved. __16__ Here are characteristics that strong friendships share.
__17__
Friends make you feel comfortable with yourself, so you don't need to act like someone you're not. Your friends know your shortcomings and love you anyway. You are perhaps the “best version” of yourself when you're with your friends. A healthy friendship includes plenty of gentle honesty. True friends won't pretend just to avoid an argument. __18__ As a result, you'll know where you stand with your friends and won't be afraid to share your true opinions.
They argue in a healthy way.
One of the biggest misunderstandings about good friends is that they never fight. But let's face it: everyone fights. __19__ In fact, voicing your opinions freely will cause you to disagree from time to time and that's okay.
Healthy friendships mean you can be friends with someone else, too.
__20__ That's why great friends will improve your relationship yet still encourage you to meet people and try new things without them. A healthy friendship means that sometimes the two of you spend time apart, and that's okay.
A．Arguing isn't unhealthy.
B．Is your friendship as healthy as it can be
C．Good friends are real and honest with each other.
D．Good friends lose touch with each other from time to time.
E．With an unhealthy friendship, you know clearly that something is “off”．
F．Even if you have the best friend, it doesn't hurt to expand your social circle.
G．In a positive friendship, your friends won't lie to you, and they won't hurt your feelings either.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了健康友谊的一些特征。
16．选B 根据上下文可知，本句为过渡句，上文中的“as healthy as it can be”与B项中的“as healthy as it can be”相照应。故B项“你们的友谊是健康的吗？”承上启下，符合语境。
17．选C 根据下文中“Friends make you feel comfortable with yourself”及“A healthy friendship includes plenty of gentle honesty.”可知，本段是说朋友让你呈现真正的自我，不用伪装，且C项中“honest”对应后文的“honesty”。故C项“好朋友之间应该真诚相待”适合作本段小标题。
18．选G 根据上文“True friends won't pretend just to avoid an argument.”可知，真正的朋友不会为了避免争论而作假，即真正的朋友不会对你撒谎，故G项“在积极的友谊中，你的朋友不会对你说谎，他们也不会伤害你的感情”承接上文，符合语境。
19．选A 根据本段主题句“They argue in a healthy way.”可知，本段主要告诉我们朋友之间争论的方法通常是比较恰当合适的，他们通常不会用不好的方法和朋友展开争论。A项中“Arguing”对应主题句中的“argue”。故A项“争论并不是不健康的”符合语境。
20．选F 根据本段主题句“Healthy friendships mean you can be friends with someone else, too.”可知，良好的友谊意味着你可以和更多的人成为朋友，即你的好朋友不会影响你的社交圈的扩大。故F项“即使你有最好的朋友，扩大你的社交圈也无妨”符合语境。

If there was one thing Jill could wish for, it was to feel special, because she couldn't remember that she ever had.
Going to school didn't help.Jill was not the top student in her class, like Emma was.While she was certainly not at the bottom of the class, she wished she could be more like Emma.Jill noticed that when report cards were handed out at school Emma's mom was always at the gate waiting for her.After studying Emma's card, her mom would give Emma a big hug.But Jill's report card always said, “could do better” or “could try harder”．Her parents said the same when she brought it home, “We are pleased to see that you passed everything, but maybe you can do better next term.”
Jill didn't feel special at having lots of friends.Kathy was the one in the class who seemed to do that much better than anyone else and Jill wished she could be more like Kathy.Kathy was always laughing and joking and telling stories.Everyone wanted to be her friend.Jill was not without friends.It was just that she didn't get invited to every birthday party like Kathy did.So when some kids were asked, and she was not, she felt decidedly unhappy.
One afternoon after school, Jill walked past Emma, who was desperately pulling all the contents out of her bag.“What's the matter？” asked Jill.“I lost my maths homework sheet，” said Emma, “and it's due tomorrow.I don't know what to do.” Jill said, “You can come to my home and we can do it together.” When they had completed their maths assignment, Emma expressed her thanks to Jill.Jill felt a tiny feeling of being special for helping someone she admired.Before leaving, Emma said to Jill, “You know, it's hard always being at the top of the class; your parents and teachers expect so much of you.I often wish I was like you and didn't have all these pressures.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
A day or two later Jill came across Kathy crying in the girls' restroom by herself._________________________________________________________________________

参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
A day or two later Jill came across Kathy crying in the girls' restroom by herself.“What's wrong？” asked Jill.“Everyone always expects me to be funny，” said Kathy.“But there are times when I feel sad or just simply don't want to be funny.The other kids don't seem to understand.”Jill listened, nodding understandably while Kathy talked about her feelings and how she felt the pressure to live up to others' expectations.When the tears had stopped, she said, “You know, Jill, there are many times when I wish I was just like you.”
Paragraph 2：
Jill was surprised that Emma and Kathy could wish they were just like her.Never had she realized she was the one admired.She was even more surprised when Kathy gave her a big hug, saying “Many thanks.”It surprised Jill, too, and she began to see things differently from then on.Maybe she didn't need to be the best at any one thing.Maybe she didn't need to be special at anything in particular.Maybe it was enough just to know that she was special being who she was.UNIT 3 单元验收评价(二) 仿真高考检测

The shop owner smiled and whistled. A lady ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five tiny balls of fur.
One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said, “What's wrong with that little dog？”
The shop owner explained that the puppy was born disabled and it would always be lame. The little boy became excited, “I'll buy it.” The shop owner said, “No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you.” The little boy looked straight into the shop owner's eyes and said, “I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I pay it off.”
The shop owner countered,_“You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and play with you like the other puppies.”
To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace.He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well. I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands！”

Last week was Sports Day at my daughter's school.She was part of the Yellow House.She had to wear yellow and race for points.The Yellow House won.I was really pleased for my daughter because last year the Green House won.In fact, when the winning house was announced last year, many little faces turned sour.There were many tears and children were bitter because they had lost.
Losing is never fun.From a young age children know that winning is the best result.As parents, we can talk to children about the importance of everyone having a chance to win; we can teach our children to be happy for their friends when a friend wins.
As children grow older they will be exposed to more and more competition.It is important that we teach our children to learn to “bounce back” from losses, to experience loss in a positive way and to keep on going even when they don't achieve the desired outcome.
By teaching children now to be resilient (适应性强的), we can prepare them for adult life in the future.Our children can learn to compete for fun and learn how to bounce back from life's failures and disappointments.
We can talk to our children about competition.We can teach by example and show our kids that losing a game or failing a test is not the end.Losing is simply a chance to try again and a chance to become more successful.
Raising emotionally healthy children is very important for the future generation and by teaching our children the above principles we can help them to overcome the difficulties of life and they will learn to compete in healthy ways throughout their lives.
8．In the first paragraph, the author intends to ________.
A．describe the sports event
B．introduce the topic of the text
C．show the cruelty of competition
D．make a comparison between winners and losers
9．What kind of instruction will the author give to his children
A．You are allowed to fail.
B．Winning is the best result.
C．Competition is not healthy.
D．You should try your best to win.
10．What is the text mainly about
A．Preparing children for future life.
B．Raising emotionally healthy children.
C．Teaching children to face failure bravely.
D．Teaching children about healthy competition.
11．In which column of a newspaper is the text likely to appear
A．Health. B．Education.
C．Science. D．Entertainment.
D
“Sorry, but I don't agree with you ...” This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears.I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend.I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego (自尊心) is hurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either.” But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I don't agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter.However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth.That's when I need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully.While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love.We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions.Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.
12．The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone because ________.
A．he is a friendly person
B．he usually hides his ideas
C．he has no mind of his own
D．he wants to keep the friendship
13．When a friend disagreed with him, the author used to ________.
A．be unhappy
B．argue with the friend
C．break up with the friend
D．explain things calmly
14．The author will listen to a friend when ________.
A．he is against the truth
B．he doesn't tell the truth
C．he is respected by the friend
D．he does things in the wrong way
15．What does the author mainly talk about in the text
A．How to keep friendship.
B．How to avoid hurting a friend.
C．How to express disagreements.
D．How to deal with disagreements.

Signs of Healthy Friendships
Once in a while it's helpful to see if your friendship is as healthy as it can be. You might get used to a friendship over time to the point where you don't see the room for improvement. And since great friendships are priceless, you should always surround yourself with the kind of people who will lift your spirits, make you laugh, and remind you that you are loved. __16__ Here are characteristics that strong friendships share.
__17__
Friends make you feel comfortable with yourself, so you don't need to act like someone you're not. Your friends know your shortcomings and love you anyway. You are perhaps the “best version” of yourself when you're with your friends. A healthy friendship includes plenty of gentle honesty. True friends won't pretend just to avoid an argument. __18__ As a result, you'll know where you stand with your friends and won't be afraid to share your true opinions.
They argue in a healthy way.
One of the biggest misunderstandings about good friends is that they never fight. But let's face it: everyone fights. __19__ In fact, voicing your opinions freely will cause you to disagree from time to time and that's okay.
Healthy friendships mean you can be friends with someone else, too.
__20__ That's why great friends will improve your relationship yet still encourage you to meet people and try new things without them. A healthy friendship means that sometimes the two of you spend time apart, and that's okay.
A．Arguing isn't unhealthy.
B．Is your friendship as healthy as it can be
C．Good friends are real and honest with each other.
D．Good friends lose touch with each other from time to time.
E．With an unhealthy friendship, you know clearly that something is “off”．
F．Even if you have the best friend, it doesn't hurt to expand your social circle.
G．In a positive friendship, your friends won't lie to you, and they won't hurt your feelings either.

If there was one thing Jill could wish for, it was to feel special, because she couldn't remember that she ever had.
Going to school didn't help.Jill was not the top student in her class, like Emma was.While she was certainly not at the bottom of the class, she wished she could be more like Emma.Jill noticed that when report cards were handed out at school Emma's mom was always at the gate waiting for her.After studying Emma's card, her mom would give Emma a big hug.But Jill's report card always said, “could do better” or “could try harder”．Her parents said the same when she brought it home, “We are pleased to see that you passed everything, but maybe you can do better next term.”
Jill didn't feel special at having lots of friends.Kathy was the one in the class who seemed to do that much better than anyone else and Jill wished she could be more like Kathy.Kathy was always laughing and joking and telling stories.Everyone wanted to be her friend.Jill was not without friends.It was just that she didn't get invited to every birthday party like Kathy did.So when some kids were asked, and she was not, she felt decidedly unhappy.
One afternoon after school, Jill walked past Emma, who was desperately pulling all the contents out of her bag.“What's the matter？” asked Jill.“I lost my maths homework sheet，” said Emma, “and it's due tomorrow.I don't know what to do.” Jill said, “You can come to my home and we can do it together.” When they had completed their maths assignment, Emma expressed her thanks to Jill.Jill felt a tiny feeling of being special for helping someone she admired.Before leaving, Emma said to Jill, “You know, it's hard always being at the top of the class; your parents and teachers expect so much of you.I often wish I was like you and didn't have all these pressures.”
