抓直接原因解推理判断题
第4题考查让本处于尴尬境地的原因，选项A看似与本题有关联，属于这一事件的导火索，但却并非其直接原因，故应排除在外。推理判断题的解题一定要分清直接原因和间接原因，只有与设问存在直接因果关系的选项才是正确选项。

本文为书信文体。阅读此类文章需要了解书信的类别，把握写信的目的，准确定位其主要内容及所蕴含的思想感情。如课文第一封信，根据文章首句“I'm in a total mess here — hope you can help me out！”可知为求助信。这类书信的行文结构一般为“提出困难→描述问题→提出期望”，内容一般是描述自己或他人的困难，争取同情和理解，并用礼貌和恳切的语言请求帮助，使收信人乐于伸出援手。第二封信是对第一封信的回复，是Agony Aunt就Ben的问题给出的建议。建议信的行文结构一般是“困难背后的现象→困难出现的原因→给出具体的建议”。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．I'm crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match.
赏析：短语be crazy about描写了作者对篮球的热爱，为下文描写输掉比赛后作者的愤怒心情做好了铺垫；副词so修饰mad强调了作者的愤怒情绪，为后面情节的发展埋下了伏笔。
2．Embarrassed and ashamed, I can't concentrate on anything.
赏析：过去分词形式的形容词Embarrassed and ashamed形象地传达了作者内心尴尬又羞愧的复杂情感。
3．Treated this way, you're sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those closest to us，and it hurts even more when we find we can't.
赏析：本句中使用了两个hurt。第一个hurt 为形容词，表示情感上受到了伤害；第二个 hurt 为不及物动词，意为 “伤心”。两个hurt的使用传达了知心阿姨对Ben的同情心，给予Ben以情感上的共鸣，有利于后续建议的提出。
[提能训练|完成句子]
①______________________ and playing football is his dream, which he will never give up.
他狂热地喜欢足球，踢足球是他的梦想，他永远不会放弃。
②He ________________， __________________， his face flushing red.
他尴尬地扭过头去，羞红了脸。
③__________________ is that he never even said goodbye.We ________________ and betrayed.
令人伤心的是，他甚至从没有道别过，我们觉得自己受到了伤害和欺骗。
(二)赏句式之高
Tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on.
赏析：本句中Tell your friend ...为祈使句，后面是but连接的两个宾语从句，描述了需要与朋友沟通的内容：你对此很生气，但是你不打算再追究。此外，第一个宾语从句中又含有and连接的两个动名词短语，介绍了对方的哪些行为让作者感到生气。
提能训练|完成句子
He is thinking about ____________________________________________________.
他正在考虑什么时候出发以及随身应该带些什么。
(三)赏衔接之顺
We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn't even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend.I
was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I'd said.
赏析：本段文字中三次使用了转折连词but描述了一系列意料之外的事件的发生：比赛本来打得不错，却被一个队友拖累了；这个队友本来是一个关键球员，但却表现得不在状态；自己向朋友抱怨、发泄怒气，朋友却将这些不满告诉了别人。在but的衔接下，复杂的事件变得逻辑清晰，层次分明，且语意过渡自然、前后逻辑顺畅。
[提能训练|试用连词but完成下列句子]
①We got there early________________.
我们很早到了那里，但是迈克已经离开了。
②He tried to draw attention by shouting, ____________________________________.
他试图通过喊叫来引起注意，但没有成功。
(四)赏修辞之功
第二封信中使用了“Loose lips sink ships (祸从口出); loose lips (口风不紧); let off steam(发泄怒气); think first, speak later (先思而后言)”等俚语和俗语，让表达更活泼生动，且易于理解，同时增加了文章的生活气息，更有利于读者产生共鸣。

如何建立和保持良好的人际关系，开展正常的社会交往是我们青少年成长过程中的重要话题。我们要学会善解人意，设身处地为他人着想。为人处世，应该做到Honesty is the best policy 诚实乃上策 。说话要察言观色，先思后言 Think before you speak； Think first， speak later ，这样才能“知己知彼，百战不殆”。
常言道，友谊地久天长。交朋结友也是我们青少年重要的社交方式之一，友谊要建立在互相尊重、理解和包容的基础之上。选文是怎样看待朋友、友谊的呢？让我们一起仔细“悦”读吧！
Friends are gifts and treasures. important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want — an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride be in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologise when you're wrong — even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes, it may be the best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologises. When you apologise, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendship changes as our needs and lifestyle change.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth treasuring and nurturing (培养)．

本文为书信文体。阅读此类文章需要了解书信的类别，把握写信的目的，准确定位其主要内容及所蕴含的思想感情。如课文第一封信，根据文章首句“I'm in a total mess here — hope you can help me out！”可知为求助信。这类书信的行文结构一般为“提出困难→描述问题→提出期望”，内容一般是描述自己或他人的困难，争取同情和理解，并用礼貌和恳切的语言请求帮助，使收信人乐于伸出援手。
第二封信是对第一封信的回复，是Agony Aunt就Ben的问题给出的建议。建议信的行文结构一般是“困难背后的现象→困难出现的原因→给出具体的建议”。
课文写法借鉴
(一)赏用词之妙
1．I'm crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match.
赏析：短语be crazy about描写了作者对篮球的热爱，为下文描写输掉比赛后作者的愤怒心情做好了铺垫；副词so修饰mad强调了作者的愤怒情绪，为后面情节的发展埋下了伏笔。
2．Embarrassed and ashamed, I can't concentrate on anything.
赏析：过去分词形式的形容词Embarrassed and ashamed形象地传达了作者内心尴尬又羞愧的复杂情感。
3．Treated this way, you're sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those closest to us，and it hurts even more when we find we can't.
赏析：本句中使用了两个hurt。第一个hurt 为形容词，表示情感上受到了伤害；第二个 hurt 为不及物动词，意为 “伤心”。两个hurt的使用传达了知心阿姨对Ben的同情心，给予Ben以情感上的共鸣，有利于后续建议的提出。
[提能训练|完成句子]

(二)赏句式之高
Tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on.
赏析：本句中Tell your friend ...为祈使句，后面是but连接的两个宾语从句，描述了需要与朋友沟通的内容：你对此很生气，但是你不打算再追究。此外，第一个宾语从句中又含有and连接的两个动名词短语，介绍了对方的哪些行为让作者感到生气。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Dear Mother and Dad，
My roommate, Syd, may be a problem.He's so careless.He whistles (吹口哨) real loud through this gap in his front teeth, too.Plus, he knocked over our lamp and broke it.Syd also wears a funny blue hat for good luck, but I don't think it's working.
Love，
Bryan
Dear Mom and Pop，
My roommate, Bryan, seems kind of jumpy, like our cat when you turn on the cleaner.He hung up a big poster of all the constellations (星座), so maybe he'll teach me how to find them.I'm sure we'll be best friends.Guess what Our camp got a new lamp.
Love，
Syd
Dear Mother and Dad，
Syd invites trouble like my giant magnets attract paper clips.We went for a hike, and Syd stepped on a wasps' (黄蜂) nest.The wasps were not happy.He raced down the path, and the rest of us ran the other way.Poor Syd got stung (蛰) twice on his face.Now he has huge chipmunk cheeks.Of course, he can still whistle, but I don't mind anymore.
Love，
Bryan
Dear Mom and Pop，
I plan to join the cross-country team.Today I ran half a mile in about three minutes.The wasps running after me probably helped a little.Did you know that some wasps make their nests on the ground Dad, will you help me train for cross-country when I get home？
PS: I heard Bryan whistling along with me yesterday.Last night, he showed me the Big Dipper constellation.Then we made up a new constellation and named it Wasper.We laughed our heads off.
Love，
Syd
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章展示了两个舍友布赖恩和悉德分别向各自的父母写的信件，信中给父母介绍自己的舍友，讲述了他们在一起相处的日常和趣事。
1．Why do Syd and Bryan write letters
A．To update their parents.
B．To show the importance of making friends.
C．To share with their friends camp memories.
D．To invite their parents to the camping activities.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据信件的内容可知，悉德和布赖恩在信中主要是给父母介绍了各自舍友的相关信息，讲述了他们在一起相处的有趣的事情，所以目的是让父母了解各自的近况和最新信息。
2．What do we know about the two boys
A．They knocked over a new lamp.
B．They got seriously hurt by the wasps.
C．They argued when they first met at the camp.
D．They enjoyed themselves studying constellations.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一封信中“Last night ... we laughed our heads off.”可知，他们都喜欢研究星座。
√

A．How much he wants to go back home.
B．How excited he is to find the wasps' nest.
C．How happy he is to whistle together with Syd.
D．How much he desires to train for cross-country.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三封信中“Of course, he can still whistle, but I don't mind anymore.”和第四封信中“I heard Bryan whistling along with me yesterday.”可推知，布赖恩在下封信中可能会写他如何开心地和悉德一起吹口哨。
B
Have you ever argued with a friend, and said or done something you regretted Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt.Knowing how to apologise can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
We argue for all kinds of reasons.You might think your football team is fantastic but your friend disagrees; or maybe your sister is being really annoying.Sometimes, especially if you're angry, things can spiral out of control and you'll say or do something you regret.Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal — we all do it — but it's important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don't get worse.This is where an apology can help.
We all make mistakes, and apologising is a way of admitting we've got something wrong and will try not to do it again.Dr.Jennifer Thomas, a psychologist and author, believes an apology needs to show the other person that we're genuinely (真诚地) sorry, we accept responsibility for our actions and we want their forgiveness.
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it's not your fault.If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel.If you still can't agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Sorry on its own might not always be enough, so try to ask the other person how they felt while you were arguing.Explain your side too, and make it clear you'll try not to repeat the same mistake again.A genuine apology isn't a magic wand (魔杖); it may take some time for someone to understand and forgive.Even after you've said sorry, you could still feel bad but you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在争吵后解决分歧很重要，因为要维持关系，防止伤害，这就需要人们进行道歉。文章讲述了道歉的重要性以及方式。
4．Why is it important to resolve differences after an argument
A．To ensure that bad feelings worsen over time.
B．To maintain relationship and prevent damage.
C．To avoid taking responsibility for one's action.
D．To establish leading power over one's friends.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段以及第二段的“Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal — we all do it — but it's important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don't get worse.”可知，在争吵后解决分歧很重要是因为要维持关系，防止伤害。故选B。
5．What does the underlined word “spiral” mean in paragraph 2
A．Stop. B．Decrease.
C．Increase. D．Win.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Sometimes, especially if you're angry”以及后文“you'll say or do something you regret”可知，有时候，特别是当你生气的时候，事情可能会加速失控，你会说或做一些让你后悔的事情。故画线词意思是“增加，加速”。故选C。
√
6．Which of the following situations can happen after a genuine apology
A．Both parties will forget the argument.
B．Forgiveness could take quite a while.
C．The person apologizing can calm down.
D．Relationships will improve immediately.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的“A genuine apology isn't a magic wand(魔杖); it may take some time for someone to understand and forgive.”可知，真诚的道歉后会出现的情况是原谅可能需要一段时间。故选B。
7．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Power of Apologies
B．The Causes of Arguments
C．The Significance of Forgiveness
D．The Benefits of Communication
√
解析：标题归纳题。文章主要说明了在争吵后解决分歧很重要，因为要维持关系，防止伤害，这就需要人们进行道歉。文章讲述了道歉的重要性以及方式。由此可知，A选项“道歉的力量”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Living Well with Others
A good life is one that is beneficial to living well with others, while living comfortably and honestly.However, not everyone can deal with the relationship well with others.They're looking to explore new ways to make their life better. 8

Have you ever argued with a friend, and said or done something you regretted Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt.Knowing how to apologise can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
We argue for all kinds of reasons.You might think your football team is fantastic but your friend disagrees; or maybe your sister is being really annoying.Sometimes, especially if you're angry, things can spiral out of control and you'll say or do something you regret.Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal — we all do it — but it's important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don't get worse.This is where an apology can help.
We all make mistakes, and apologising is a way of admitting we've got something wrong and will try not to do it again.Dr.Jennifer Thomas, a psychologist and author, believes an apology needs to show the other person that we're genuinely (真诚地) sorry, we accept responsibility for our actions and we want their forgiveness.
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it's not your fault.If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel.If you still can't agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Sorry on its own might not always be enough, so try to ask the other person how they felt while you were arguing.Explain your side too, and make it clear you'll try not to repeat the same mistake again.A genuine apology isn't a magic wand (魔杖); it may take some time for someone to understand and forgive.Even after you've said sorry, you could still feel bad but you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
4．Why is it important to resolve differences after an argument
A．To ensure that bad feelings worsen over time.
B．To maintain relationship and prevent damage.
C．To avoid taking responsibility for one's action.
D．To establish leading power over one's friends.
5．What does the underlined word “spiral” mean in paragraph 2
A．Stop. B．Decrease.
C．Increase. D．Win.
6．Which of the following situations can happen after a genuine apology
A．Both parties will forget the argument.
B．Forgiveness could take quite a while.
C．The person apologizing can calm down.
D．Relationships will improve immediately.
7．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Power of Apologies
B．The Causes of Arguments
C．The Significance of Forgiveness
D．The Benefits of Communication
