Dear Mr. Happy,
I have two best friends but they don’t like each other. Every time I want to hang out with both of them, they never want to go and always get angry with me. When I hang out with one but not the other, the other one will get jealous. I want all of us to be good friends, but I don’t know what to do. Is there anybody who can help me
Kate,
Advice from Helen, Guangzhou
You need to ask both of them why they don’t like each other. You should do something to make them like each other again. You can invite both of them to your house, without telling them that he or she will be there. Let them stay there for about 30 minutes. See if they can talk with each other. Hope this helps!

Jack is my good friend. He is in Tianjin, not far from you. He had the same problem last year. He says if they are really your best friends, you should let them know that you like both of them. And they should try to be nice to each other because they have the same friend—you!

答案以及解析
一、单项选择
1.答案:B
解析:until直到……为止;because因为;though虽然。根据后文"I can make friends through music"(我可以通过音乐交朋友)可知,来说明音乐对我非常有用的原因,因此后文是because引导的原因状语从句。故选: B。
2.答案:A
解析:A.某事;B.所有事情;C.没什么。此处是指每个困难中都有一些积极的东西,用something。故选:A。
3.答案:C
解析:come on得了;go ahead继续;I agree我同意。根据对话的语境和意思可知此处表达同意说话人的观点。故选: C。
4.答案:C
解析:句意:“你抓不到我!”杰克大叫着迅速跑开了。考查动词辨析。send发送;take拿;catch抓住。根据“Jack shouted and ran away quickly.”可知,迅速跑开,所以说对方抓不到自己,故选C。
5.答案:B
解析:句意:—这个城市的大多数建筑都是传统的。如果你走在街上,感觉就像回到了过去。—一定很有趣。考查形容词辨析。not modern不现代的;not new不新的;not usual不寻常的;traditional传统的。根据“Most buildings in this city are traditional. If you walk in the street, it feels like you are in old times.”可知,像回到了过去,所以是传统的,traditional与选项B语意相同。故选B。
6.答案:A
解析:句意:我的奶奶将要开始培养一种爱好,例如网上购物。take up"开始从事"符合题意。
7.答案:A
解析:—你是如何提高你的英语口语的 —通过练习和我的老师和同学说话。practice doing sth.为固定搭配, 意为"练习做某事"。
8.答案:B
解析:考查固定短语辨析。句意:昨天弗兰克和朋友们在海滩打排球非常愉快。 have fun doing sth做某事非常快乐。结合句意,可知选B。
9.答案:B
解析:句意:—你昨晚去看电影了吗?—哦,不。我几乎不去看电影。你知道,我不喜欢电影。考查副词辨析。always总是、一直;hardly几乎不;often 经常。根据后句“You know, I don’t like movies.”可推知,应是几乎不去看电影。故选B。
10.答案:B
解析:mind后跟动名词形式;stop to do sth.意为“停下来去做某事”;stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”。由语境可知是“停下来去休息”,故答案选B。

Every time I want to hang out with both of them, they never want to go and always get angry with me.”可知,我有两个好朋友,但她们不喜 欢对方。每次我想和她们两个出去玩,她们都不想 去,还和我生气。可知, jealous应该是“妒忌的”。 故选C。
