Ⅳ.阅读理解
Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life.In our daily life，it is likely that you share some common interests with others—they may like the same sport，go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do.Since you often meet them，they become your acquaintances(相识的人)．Although some people develop many acquaintances，only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.
It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like，but still likes you anyway.A true friend shows loyalty(忠诚) from the very beginning of the relationship.A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return.A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances(条件) together with you，for example，when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out.However，some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help.At this time，you can experience what true friendship is.
In our life，some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends.They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality(性格)．For these people，wherever they go，people seem to like them and welcome their company.But when they go through challenging life experiences，some of their friends are not there to help them.Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.
However，others seem to go through life with no friends at all.They like to be alone，to travel by themselves or to do their own things.It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends.They lack the best gift in life—friendship.
1．What can we learn about acquaintances from the passage
A．You seldom meet them in your life.
B．Not all of them can become your friends.
C．They are sure to become your good friends.
D．They have all of the same interests as you do.
2．What do we know about “friends” according to the passage
A．It’s easier to lose a friend than to get one.
B．People without friends are always successful.
C．It doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not.
D．People with bright personality are easy to have friends.
3．What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Very deep.
B．Not deep at all.
C．As precious as skin.
D．Hidden under the skin.
4．What is the author’s attitude towards people without friends in their life
A．Interested. B．Angry.
C．Hopeful. D．Regretful.

A
Sharon Holland and her husband，Jer，are travelling around the world and saving money at the same time—by swapping(交换) houses with strangers to keep the bills low.They only have to pay for their flights，meaning they save hundreds of pounds on their holidays each year.
The couple’s occupation(职业) allows them to enjoy long periods of school holidays.Both work as school Deputy Principals，which allows them to take their children，Cian,23，Miah,13，and Faye,11，abroad up to four times per year.On average，they pay ￡1,250 per year for flights.
Sharon，from Cork，Ireland，has exchanged her home with a stranger 40 times in the last 13 years and says she’s never regretted.She said，“I couldn’t imagine travelling in any other way now.Swapping our Irish Georgian farmhouse for another house abroad is amazing.There are home-style houses，modern city apartments and beautiful architectural period houses too.Every holiday is different and staying in someone else’s house makes our experience more rewarding and enjoyable.We are able to meet more locals and understand the culture more than we would if we were to stay at a hotel.We bring our laptops during the summer weeks as we are both responsible for timetabling and school planning but this can be done at a distance.”
Sharon has visited various cities in America，France，Germany，Hungary，Italy，Spain，Netherlands，the UK and their home country of Ireland.“But our favourite place is Italy.We have been lucky enough to visit there six times.Over the years，every experience has been great—from the architecture to the food.We have made some wonderful happy memories for less，” adds she.
1．Why do the couple travel by swapping houses with strangers
A．To avoid taking flights.
B．To spread local culture.
C．To improve their living condition.
D．To cut down their travel costs.
2．What can we know about Sharon from the text
A．She comes from England and likes Italy.
B．She never lives in a hotel when travelling.
C．She likes the way of swapping houses.
D．She plans to open a school with her husband.
3．What does Sharon think of swapping houses with strangers
A．Awkward. B．Fantastic.
C．Dangerous. D．Traditional.
4．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．It introduces some ways of exchanging houses.
B．It tells about a couple’s special way of travelling.
C．It tries to persuade more people to travel worldwide.
D．It teaches people how to save money while travelling.
B
I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra(管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom.“You have hands for the viola(中提琴)，” Miss Ciano told me.I was excited because my hands were finally good for something.I told my parents I wanted to play，and naturally，they agreed.
Since I first touched the viola，I haven’t been able to put it down.Ignoring the difficulty，I am pulled closer to it each day.
Classical music is truly my best friend.It is the trusted friend of every man，woman and child.Various feelings are expressed in classical music.I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto(大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition，the first movement was joyful，but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain.From the piece，I learned that music expresses not only feelings，but also sudden mood changes.By listening to classical music，I know that someone else shares these feelings.Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music，I am comforted by it when I am upset.It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period.Classical music can express my joy，sadness and anger.
Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone，even music teachers，could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument.I’m certain they told me I had “viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers(算命师)，but because there was a lack of violists in our district.Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind.If you get introduced to it in the right way，it will become your friend for life.
5．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs

D．By building close relationship.
7．What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph
A．Easily tricked. B．Firmly loved.
C．Greatly challenged. D．Secretly hidden.
8．Which could be the best title for the passage
A．Special Event，Sweet Memory
B．Classical Music，Endless Friendship
C．Lifetime Dream，Great Effort
D．Happy Childhood，Unforgotten Experience
C
Growing up with movies such as “High School Musical” and “Grease”，which presented the ideal(理想的)high school friendships，we sometimes expect a perfect relationship.Indeed，some high school friendships can be real and simple；while still some high school students will meet a friend who causes trouble.With failed friendships come lessons and experiences learned for the future.You will know the influence after you leave high school.
“I was always worried about what my friends thought about me.Sometimes my friends would make fun of what I wore or what I would do.I always tried to get along well with them，but I realized how happy I was once I stopped contacting them after high school，” said Elisha，Class of 2020.
Most teens have not realized the big question when dealing with high school problems.In five years，will this still matter？It is hard looking at the big picture when the problems are in front of you，which is understandable.However，most teens need a moment to reflect(反思) and question if the problem matters in a long time.
Briana，a high school teacher，said，“Now，I am in contact with two high school friends.I think the friendship experiences I had in high school shaped who I am because I learned to be open-minded and befriend all kinds of people.I learned to see people for who they are，not what they wear or who they play with.I learned most of all how to be a good friend.”
High school is a small part of your life，but it has a huge influence on who you will become and where you will go.Friendships and relationships help shape who you are，whether they are good or bad.Lessons are brought，and lessons are learned.
9．Why did the author mention the two movies in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic of the passage.
B．To explain what a high school friendship is.
C．To recommend these two movies to readers.
D．To attract readers’ attention to these two movies.

B．They cared about her behavior.
C．They got along well with her.
D．They were always worried about her.
11．Why did Briana think her friendship experiences shape her
A．She learned to play with her friends.
B．She learned to make different friends.
C．She learned to shape her friends’ minds.
D．She learned to wear just like her friends.
12．What’s the passage mainly about
A．Failed friendships made teens worried.
B．Good friendships greatly influenced teens.
C．High school friendships help to shape teens.
D．Friendships are difficult for teens to deal with.
Ⅱ.七选五
Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship. 1 Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.
2 Sure，you and your friends probably have some similar interests，but that’s not always the case.In an effort to keep everyone happy，go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time.Have each person categorize activities or sights into “must-see” “want to see” and “would go if we have time”．Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions.
Communicate with and respect each other.Everyone has personal preferences when travelling—from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s window seat.But sometimes things don’t go as you like.In this case，share your requirements directly with your travel companions. 3 Have a conversation when problems arise，for communication is the key.
Don’t disappear.When travelling with a group—or even just one other person—you may want some alone time.That’s completely fine，but make sure your friends know where you are and have a way of contacting you. 4
Get off your phone.Of course，your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member，or in the event of a work emergency，but other than that，try to stay off your phone. 5 After all，the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends.Just enjoy it!
A．Give each other some space.
B．Include at least one activity for everyone.
C．And remember that consideration and respect go a long way.
D．At the same time，listen to their concerns and be respectful to them.
E．Don’t respond to non-urgent work contact or send messages frequently.
F．It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places.
G．So it’s important to make sure you and your friend(s) are on the same page.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Sometimes it takes a crisis(危机) to bring friends together.When Hurricane(飓风) Maria went through the Island of Cayo Santiago in 2017，the monkeys living there became kinder toward each other，according to a study published in the journal Current Biology.
The findings show the monkeys made more friends and became more patient to one another.Although the hurricane destroyed two-thirds of the plants on the “Monkey Island”，the increased competition for resources caused the monkeys to become more amicable，which helped them widen their friendship circles.
“We expected the monkeys would use their closest partners to deal with the destruction of the hurricane and so would strengthen their existing relationships，” said lead author Testard.
But that was not what happened.Instead，the monkeys built new relationships，rather than strengthening their old ones，which surprised the researchers.Monkeys that were the most lonely before the storm increased social connections the most afterward.The study showed that monkeys often befriended the friends of their friends.This “easy” way to making friends is often mirrored in human society.
The findings could also indicate how people might deal with the increasing threat of climate change.The monkeys are close evolutionary relatives to humans and share many features of their biology and behavior with human beings.The climate crisis has increased the likelihood of extreme weather events and natural disasters.Humans can learn a thing or two from studying how the monkeys cope with the unpleasant effects of climate change.
The main takeaway the study offers humans：go beyond your close-knit circle of friends and form a broader social network to survive tough times.“Our best friends can give us many things.But sometimes，what we need is a social network where everyone is just friendly enough，” Testard says.
1．What does the underlined word “amicable” probably mean
A．Attacking. B．Frightening.
C．Friendly. D．Energetic.
2．What shocked researchers about the monkeys in crisis
A．They shared the limited resources.
B．They took advantage of old bonds.
C．They established new relationships.
D．Isolated monkeys were most popular.
3．What does the last paragraph focus on about the study
A．Its process. B．Its result.
C．Its purpose. D．Its significance.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text

A
Every day for a week，a strange，happy visitor would drop to play with Vanessa Prior’s pet dog Bobby.Prior thought Bobby had made a new dog friend.It seemed very friendly and got well along with Bobby.They would run after each other，play on the pool cover，gently wrestle(摔跤) or nap side by side.
At first she thought it was a wild dog.But when she posted a photo of the two playing on her Facebook，a pet rescue centre called her.The group told her the Atlanta Wolf Project had been trying to catch the wolf for months，but they failed.Prior gave them new hope.
Because of the wolf’s friendship with her pet dog，it was likely to come back to her backyard.Researchers hoped Prior could help them.When they put some traps(陷阱) in the back of her yard，Prior got a very complicated(复杂的) feeling.She couldn’t describe what it was.The wolf would be in a safe place，but she would do something that harmed Bobby’s feelings.
Researchers told Prior that they would take the rare，black wolf to the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary where it would live with another wolf.They didn’t think it a satisfying situation for a wild animal like a wolf to have a connection with humans’ life.They need to keep a natural awareness to humans and pets and keep to themselves.
Wolf experts added they would look into the genetics of the animal to try to learn why it liked to get close to people and tried to play with their pets.Some experts believe it could have a history with well-meaning humans.Prior had not expected that she and Bobby should meet such a special and lovely wolf.They just hoped the dear friend all the best.
1．What happened to Vanessa Prior according to the first two paragraphs
A．She didn’t like her dog’s new friend.
B．She was awarded for her helpful picture.
C．She realized her dog made friends with a wolf.
D．She called the pet rescue centre to catch the wolf.
2．How did Prior feel when some traps were set
A．She was afraid to lose Bobby.
B．She regretted helping the researchers.
C．She was worried about the wolf’s future.
D．She had bittersweet feelings about the wolf.
3．What can be inferred about the black wolf from the last two paragraphs
A．It is a kind and sociable animal.
B．It was once kept as a human pet.
C．It will be sent to the wild to live with other animals.
D．It has a great awareness of distancing itself from humans.
4．Where can the passage most probably appear
A．In a medical report.
B．In a travel leaflet.
C．In a nature magazine.
D．In a scientific research.
B
It is often said that you can’t have too many friends.But it seems that there is a natural limit to the number of people we stay in touch with.A study found that when we make new friends，by starting a new job or going to university，we downgrade or even drop old ones.And while the friends may change，the number stays almost the same.
Oxford University researcher Felix Reed-Tsochas asked 24 students in the final months of school to list all their friends and relatives and say how close to them they were.The pupils filled in the questionnaire(问卷) twice more after starting work or going to university.They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called，when and for how long.
Putting the two pieces of information together showed that most people have a small circle of close friends，who they spend most of their time talking to.This inner circle is surrounded by group after group of ever more distant friends.As the volunteers’ lives changed，this overall pattern，including the number of best friends，remained almost the same，meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built.
Dr Reed-Tsochas said：“Maybe my best friend is no longer the same person but the amount of time I allocate(分配) to my best friend is still the same.” He added that this finding suggests that even with the coming of modern technology we are only capable of forming a limited number of true friendships.
Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said：“Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital(情绪资本) that individuals can allocate(分配) between family members and friends is limited.”
5．What is a popular belief about making friends
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B．We should treat friends as our family.
C．The more friends we make，the better.
D．A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.
6．Which is a method Dr Reed-Tsochas used in his study
A．Checking the volunteers’ call records.
B．Learning about the volunteers’ hobbies.
C．Tracking the volunteers’ job performance.
D．Interviewing the volunteers’ schoolmates.
7．What did the researchers find from the study
A．One’s attitude to friendship remains the same.
B．People attach great importance to friendships.
C．People rarely drop their old friends to make new ones.
D．The number of one’s best friends doesn’t change much.
8．What is the function of the last paragraph
A．To add background information.
B．To give a possible explanation.
C．To offer some suggestions.
D．To introduce a new topic.
C
Having friends is obviously good for countless reasons.And showing the world that you have lots of friends，for example on social media，seems like a winning strategy.If that is the truth，your goal is to expand your social network.Once people see how popular you are，they’ll want to join that popular circle，perhaps in the hope that some of your popularity will rub off on them.
Nevertheless，can a person even have too many friends at the same time？It’s always been a misconception that if you have more friends，people will be more likely to want to be friends of you.
In fact，a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that having too many friends may work against you.In a series of experiments，the authors prove that people usually prefer to befriend those who have fewer friends than they do，rather than those with more friends.The authors call this phenomenon the “friend-number paradox(悖论)”，which is also the title of their new paper.
Social ties are obviously important.Having more of these connections suggests greater social value，and more potential possibilities.So it seems reasonable to assume that people will focus their social energies on befriending people who have lots of friends already.
But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there’s reciprocity(互惠) involved.Friendship goes hand in hand with certain responsibilities and expectations.And people with lots of friends may not be able to fulfill those responsibilities—especially those with too many friends.
In other words，“friendship quality” matters as much，if not more，than only the number of friends you have.Having lots of friends means your precious social resources become dilute(稀释了的)，making you less able to be a good friend.And other people take that into account consciously(有意识地)or unconsciously when deciding whether to befriend you.They don’t want to spend their valuable social resources on someone who is unlikely to pay it back.
9．What do the underlined words “rub off on” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Look forward to.
B．Take control of.
C．Hold on to.
D．Have an effect on.
10．What does the “friend-number paradox” show
A．The secrets to becoming popular.
B．The ways of winning more friends.
C．The advantages of having many friends.
D．The problems with having many friends.
11．What does the author think of people with lots of friends
A．They may fail to perform their duties.
B．They don’t know about reciprocity.
C．They are more likely to be good friends.
D．They have more precious social resources.
12．What would be the best title for the text
A．How Do People Choose Their Friends
B．More Friends Are Not Necessarily Better
C．Why Do People Like Having More Friends
D．People with More Friends Are More Popular
Ⅱ.七选五
How to Maintain Friendships as We Get Older
When we are children，we believe the first friends we make are our friends forever. 1 .We lose contact with old friends over the years.Don’t worry.Here’s what you can do to keep your current friendships.
Remember what brought you together
Remembering why you became friends in the first place can help make your friendship with each other last. 2 .For example，the interesting stories you’ve shared and the bad feelings you’ve experienced.All these things will make you and your friend realize how important it is to have each other.
3
The death of friendships comes knocking when we start comparing ourselves to our friends.When you’re in different life stages，it can feel like you’re not doing as well as your friend.Instead of thinking about what you don’t have，think about how you can grow together with your friend.You can even ask your friend for guidance.
Make time for new memories
A great way to keep friendship exciting is to make time to create new memories together. 4 .This gives everyone an opportunity to have much-needed leisure time away from work.
Be a positive force
Nobody wants to be around someone who’s negative on a daily basis. 5 .Cheer on your friends for the successes they achieve，take interest in their latest projects and show care when they’re feeling down.Remember the quote：“I will take care of myself for you and you’ll take care of yourself for me.”
A．Avoid social comparisons
B．Remember to ask your friend for help
C．Talk about the history you have together
D．What we can do is to be kinder to one another
E．A good start is to try new activities with friends
F．However，we should admit that friends do get separated
G．Think about what to do when you are in a negative mood

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Shakespeare once wrote：“Neither a borrower nor a lender be；for loan(借款) often loses both itself and friend”．It’s often explained and used as a warning about the dangers of lending，and how you could risk a friendship through it.But why can lending money be so detrimental to our friendships
If our friend or family member comes to us for hard cash，it can be very difficult to turn them away.You feel under pressure to help.And if that money doesn’t come back，it can lead to fights or even legal battles.So how can we，as the lender，avoid these problems？According to Bradley T．Klontz，an expert in financial psychology(心理学)，there are some steps you can take.
Understanding why there is an unavoidable risk to lending anything to a friend is the first thing.And it’s not just the risk of losing the money，but the friendship could also be in danger.This is because，psychologically speaking，the action of lending has changed the balance of power.The lender becomes superior(高一级的)，while the borrower may feel awkward with the new arrangement.Likewise，if you try to advise them on what to do with the money，it might make things difficult between you two.In other words，let go—and see it as their money.
And if you can’t afford to lend something，don’t.Saying “no” is hard when a friend comes asking，but if you need that money，refusing them is probably the safest course of action.If you still feel the need to lend，making a legally binding(有法律约束的) agreement and putting things down in writing could guarantee instalments(分期付款) or deadlines.But，some friends may not take too kindly to being asked to make it official—seeing it as a lack of trust.
Finally，for some，it’s best to just see the money as a gift and be pleasantly surprised if something comes back.And if you do want to keep your friendship，when you need to borrow some money，perhaps a bank is a better option.
1．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Beneficial. B．Important.
C．Necessary. D．Harmful.
2．How does the writer develop paragraph 3
A．By listing examples.
B．By making comparison.
C．By analyzing data.
D．By explaining cause and effect.
3．According to this passage，which statement will the writer support
A．You’d rather be a lender than a borrower.
B．Whether you lend it or not，your friendship will be unbalanced.
C．Sometimes refusing is not a bad option.
D．If you are true friends，you will lend your money to your friends.
4．If you are a borrower，which action is proper according to this passage
A．Borrow from your family members rather than your friend.
B．Borrow the money from the bank.
C．Borrow the money from your friend and see him (her) as superior.
D．Borrow the money and see it as yours.
