Friendship
It is a human instinct to make friends．So I think it is important for us to make good friends．No one can make the most of his life without friends．
I have many good friends，of whom Lily is my best friend．I had difficulty studying English grammar last term．I was very depressed．At that time，Lily came to my help．She comforted me and explained my puzzles carefully and patiently．With her help，I made great progress．
All in all，let's develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life．

Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment．He immediately came to my aid．He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot．Seeing what Henry did for me，something deep in my mind began to change．It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt．I regretted having treated him as a stranger．While my mind was wandering，our performance time came．It turned out a great success，thunderous applause filling the whole theatre．
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully．“Thanks，” I said with a grateful smile on my face．I had to admit that but for his timely help，I would have been extremely embarrassed．Without his knotting skill，the performance would have been quite different．“KNOT a problem．You are my sister，” he grinned innocently，saying humorously．Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere，I felt a flood of warmth of a big family．Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all．
Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲的是Mark 和Jarryd 两个男孩都喜欢澳式橄榄球，不幸的是Mark 9岁的时候患上脑癌，但是Jarryd 与 Mark 形影不离，他们一起去看球赛，当无线电广播出故障时，Jarryd为 Mark进行现场解说，作者被两个男孩之间珍贵的友谊打动。
1．C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The disease robbed the boy of his sight，part of his hearing and his ability to play his favorite sport．”可知，Mark不能再踢球的原因是生病了。]
2．D [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Usually，he goes to the stadium and listens to the commentary on the radio．However，in the second quarter of that match，the radio system broke down．That was when his friend Jarryd stepped in．”可知，当广播出故障的时候，Jarryd 为 Mark 做了现场解说。]
3．B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However，throughout the years，Jarryd remained his closest friend．”以及第四段中的“However，in the second quarter of that match，the radio system broke down．That was when his friend Jarryd stepped in．”可知，在Mark生病失明后，Jarryd 作为一个朋友不离不弃，而且在无线电广播出故障的时候，Jarryd 给Mark 进行现场解说，可以推知Jarryd 是一个很体贴的人。再根据第五段“‘What's happening now，mate？’ Mark asked．‘Don't worry．Mark，’ Jarryd replied．‘Okay．Buddy's got it．Will he go for it He's going for it！．．．’”可知Jarryd在给Mark耐心地讲解，可以推理出Jarryd是一个很有耐心的人。]
4．D [主旨大意题。第一段和第二段讲了两个好朋友Jarryd 和 Mark 因澳式橄榄球产生了友谊，虽然Mark 生病失明，但Jarryd 不离不弃。第三段至第五段讲了Jarryd 和 Mark 一起看球的经历。最后一段讲了作者被两个男孩之间珍贵的友谊打动。由此可知这篇文章的主要内容是两个男孩之间珍贵的友谊。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了与同事交朋友的重要性。
5．D [细节理解题。根据第一段中“While there are many benefits offered by not going to the office — not commuting and avoiding the rat race—there are also some disadvantages．”可知，在家办公就不用去办公室，不用通勤，即不用担心交通问题。]
6．D [段落大意题。根据第二段中“Firstly，working with like-minded people can make those hours at work more fruitful and positive．”和“Besides，it's also good for the company you work for．According to Dr Emma Seppala，people who said they had friends at work were more productive，and were more satisfied with their jobs than those who didn't．”可知，本段主要通过举例和引证专家的观点来说明与同事成为朋友的重要性。]
7．C [细节理解题。根据第三段中“And what can happen．．．which tries to explain human behaviour and motivation based on necessities，a feeling of belonging is one of the strongest psychological needs．”可知，如果你不与同事联系，你可能会缺乏归属感。]
8．A [词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句“So，if you've had a rupture in your relationship with your workmates，it might be time to start fixing it．”中“start fixing it”可推知，条件状语从句中假设了你与同事的关系出现了“破裂”，所以需要修复它，画线短语a rupture意思是“(关系的)破裂”，与A breakdown同义。]

Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
Mark Smith and Jarryd Haines are good friends．The two boys from Sydney have known each other for most of their lives．Both of them enjoy playing Australian football．
A few years ago，when Mark was nine，he developed brain cancer．The disease robbed the boy of his sight，part of his hearing and his ability to play his favorite sport．However，throughout the years，Jarryd remained his closest friend．They still share their love of Australian football．And they still enjoy talking about the Sydney Swans，their favorite team．
Two weeks ago，I took my seat at Sydney Cricket Ground to watch the Swans．The old stadium was crowded with fans．Shortly into the second quarter，heard some great commentary from a boy．Play by play，Jarryd was bringing the game to life．I turned and saw him．Mark was sitting next to him．
Although he cannot see anymore，Mark still loves the Swans very much．Usually，he goes to the stadium and listens to the commentary on the radio．However，in the second quarter of that match，the radio system broke down．That was when his friend Jarryd stepped in．
I hardly looked at the Swans and Buddy，the team's star player．Instead，I was focusing on Jarryd and Mark．“What's happening now，mate？” Mark asked．“Don't worry．Mark，” Jarryd replied．“Okay．Buddy's got it．Will he go for it He's going for it! It's his tenth goal! Buddy is on fire！” Mark listened carefully．He was lost in the magic of Australian football brought to life by his friend．
Sports can be competitive．However，they can also allow us to share wonderful moments with others，may they be close friends or perfect strangers．Here，Jarryd and Mark have moved me，and perhaps some other spectators，with the best commentary．

Many of us spend a considerable part of our lives working—with many of us，these days，working from home．While there are many benefits offered by not going to the office—not commuting (通勤)and avoiding the rat race—there are also some disadvantages．No more coffees with colleagues，daily chats by the water cooler or going out for team-bonding meals．Actually，it is important to be friends with those we work with．
Firstly，working with like-minded people can make those hours at work more fruitful and positive．Various situations are commonplace in the job you do，so having people to talk to about the difficulties of tasks could make your life easier．It's also nice knowing that you can have jokes or a chat with people at work—and some of your colleagues may become your lifelong friends．Besides，it's also good for the company you work for．According to Dr Emma Seppala，people who said they had friends at work were more productive，and were more satisfied with their jobs than those who didn't．
And what can happen if you don't connect — if you don't stimulate (促进) your relationships with those who do the same job as you While it can be easy to avoid them physically，Dr Adam Hickman says that feelings of loneliness may come slowly，which makes sense．According to Maslow's levels of needs，a psychological (心理的) theory which tries to explain human behaviour and motivation based on necessities，a feeling of belonging is one of the strongest psychological needs．No one wants to be where they feel unwanted，which is why many companies try to encourage workplace interaction — be it ping-pong tables in the office，or online parties．
And finally，even though we're working more from home now，we may one day see our colleagues once again．Having a good relationship with them would make that meeting much more pleasant．So，if you've had a rupture in your relationship with your workmates，it might be time to start fixing it．
5．What do you know about working from home according to paragraph 1
A．There are no coffees．
B．There are no outside meals．
C．There are no daily chats．
D．There are no worries about traffic．
6．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A．The benefits of making lifelong friends．
B．The way of befriending with colleagues．
C．The necessity of making lifelong friends．
D．The importance of befriending with colleagues．
7．What might happen if you don't connect with your colleagues
A．You will gain motivation．
B．You will have more psychological needs．
C．You will lack a sense of belonging．
D．You will experience immediate loneliness．
8．What do the underlined words “a rupture” in the last paragraph mean
A．A breakdown． B．A battle．
C．An emergency． D．A balance．

My New Brother
I was in my room，feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry．He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him．
“Kirstie，come here，” my mum called．Following her voice，I found her outside the bathroom，holding a wet book．She gave the book a shake．“Henry's book was in the bathtub．Did you put it there？” She glared at me，something she had never done before Henry came to our home．I hadn't wet his book on purpose．Raindrops fell from my eyes．To make matters worse，she promised to buy him a new copy．My heart ached．Henry was stealing my mother's love．He was ruining my life．
Meanwhile，Henry was nearby，absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结)，something he liked to do．Why did a boy like him like doing girly work It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概)．
Soon，it was time to set off to the community theatre．As Henry walked ahead of us to the car，my mum took me aside and said in a low voice，“It will be Henry's first time onstage．Be kind to him，honey．” I nodded but sighed (叹气)．I hadn't always found that it was difficult to be kind．But since Henry had moved in，everything felt different．The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me．With Henry involved，it didn't seem so special any more．
Finally，it was our stage time．My heart beat wildly．I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while．As we kids lined up，ready to act out our short play，I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring on my skirt．Sure enough，my skirt began to drop．I could hear the audience laughing．Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt，I could feel my face burst into flames．However，my hands were full．If only someone could help me out．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment．
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully．
