In fact, not every friendship is meant to last forever, and sometimes it might pain us. “Being yourself” is one of the 6 (old) suggestions on making friends. To maintain strong friendships, you ought to try to be yourself so that you can exactly describe your needs and wants to someone else, giving them the opportunity to care for you 7 the best way.
Whoever your friends are, their actions are out of your control. They may not choose to work toward being the best self that they can be. 8 only one you can control is yourself. Therefore, you may sometimes have to learn how to let those friendships go, or learn to put 9 (distant) between you and the other person if you often feel 10 (misunderstand) or disrespected by him.

Last month, I was sorting through an old box when I came across a time capsule, in purple and green floss (丝线). Faded and worn, it was a friendship bracelet (手链)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think of those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know first-hand.
My handiwork wasn't beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend's hand and knowing it would always be with him or her. The experience was intoxicating—like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don't go to summer camp. They certainly don't exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis(表情符号) and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts for one another leave no clear traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
1.Why does the author associate a bracelet with a time capsule
A.It is faded and worn.
B.It was made by the author herself.
C.It reminds her of her childhood.
D.It is shaped like a capsule.
2.What does the underlined word “intoxicating” mean in paragraph 2
A.Professional. B.Temporary. C.Exciting. D.Strange.
3.Why does the author think her kids' childhood is different from hers
A.They make more friends at summer camp.
B.They spend too much time on their cellphones.
C.They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents.
D.They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
4.What can be inferred about the friendship bracelets
A.They proved the author's kids had much to physically hold on to.
B.They represented both the author and her kids' unforgettable childhood.
C.They recalled the author's deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.
D.They gave meaning to the author's childhood in a way her kids will never know.

It's always exciting to receive a letter in the mail. Even today, when we tend to rely on social media, receiving an actual letter in your mailbox from a distant land is a great way for children to make new friends.
The Peaceful Pen Pals Project is part of the nonprofit organization Kids for Peace, founded by Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram in California in 2006. It is open to all children between the ages of two and seventeen. To date, there are 1,500 children from 17 countries participating in the project according to the organization. Currently, all letters are written in English. When children sign up, they can select whether they prefer to be matched with a USA Peaceful Pen Pal or an international one.
Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age. This establishes a point of connection quickly for the children and facilitates(促进)a stronger bond. If the letter writers are in the same grade, they can chat about schools, their teachers, and what they are studying. They can also compare what different states or countries learn about and how the atmospheres of the classroom are, whether socially or academically. Children may also be more likely to write about problems they are having if they feel like they are speaking to a peer in a similar situation. Although pen pals may live in different countries, they may find common ground. The writer lists his or her favorite activities to do outside, plus what he or she likes best and least about school. This gives the writer an opportunity to express himself or herself and receive comfort, advice or feedback(反馈) from the pen pal.
“Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else's viewpoint and to think outside of themselves,” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill on Very Well Family. “Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage teens' interest in geography, history and culture.”
5.What can we know about the Peaceful Pen Pals Project
A.It helps strengthen links between kids.
B.It is aimed at improving children's English.
C.It encourages children to help people in need.
D.It is created for teenagers to take online lessons.
6.What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about
A.The necessity of discussion in study.
B.The approaches to making new friends.
C.The purpose of the Peaceful Pen Pals Project.
D.The benefits of having friends of similar ages.
7.What is Rebecca Fraser-Thill's attitude towards the project
A.Careful. B.Supportive. C.Uninterested. D.Disappointed.
8.What is the best title of this text
A.Writing Enriches Kids' Life
B.Friendship Teaches Kids a Lesson
C.The Peaceful Pen Pals Project Connects Kids
D.Communication Skills Better the World
答案与分层梯度式解析
Unit 4 Friends forever
Part 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.Click 2.adventure 3.goods 4.saying
Ⅱ.1.with;familiarity 考查介词和名词。句意:虽然我不熟悉这个城市,但每当我走过街道时,我都会有一种熟悉的感觉。sb. be familiar with sth.意为“某人熟悉某事/某物”,故第一空应用介词with;根据第二空前的介词of可知,第二空应用名词, a feeling of familiarity意为“熟悉感”。
类比启发
形容词+-ity变名词:similar相似的 → similarity相像性;popular 受欢迎的→popularity受欢迎,流行;major主要的→majority大多数;real真实的→ reality现实;equal 相等的,平等的→ equality平等;secure安全的→ security安全。
2.in 考查介词。句意:提前预订酒店房间是明智的,这样当你到达目的地时,你就可以有一个休息的地方。in advance意为“提前”,故本空应用介词in。
3.significantly;significance 考查副词和名词。句意:该文化交流项目显著增进了两国之间的了解,对国际关系具有重要意义。第一空修饰动词improved,应用副词形式,故填significantly;第二空根据空前介词of和形容词great可知,应用名词形式,故填significance。
知识拓展
be of+抽象名词=be+该抽象名词对应的形容词,用来描述某人或某物具有某种特征或属性。如:be of value=be valuable 有价值;be of importance=be important 重要;be of significance=be significant有意义;be of use=be useful有用;be of benefit=be beneficial有益;be of influence=be influential 有影响力。
4.be acquired 考查被动语态。句意:知识可以从书本中获得,而技能必须通过实践学到。动词acquire和主语Knowledge之间为被动关系,故本空应用被动语态。
5.to explore 考查非谓语动词。句意:建立自信使我们能够勇敢地探索未知的世界。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使某人能够做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式。
6.to assume 考查非谓语动词。句意:大量研究表明,我们往往认为自己可以做得比实际上能做到的更好。tend to do sth.意为“易于做某事,往往做某事”,故本空应用不定式作宾语。
7.delivering;delivery 考查非谓语动词和名词。句意:邮递员在投递信件时必须仔细检查地址,因为准确和及时地投递邮件是他工作的重要部分。“when letters”为“连词+分词”结构,在句中作状语,动词deliver和其逻辑主语The postman之间为主动关系,故第一空应用现在分词delivering;根据第二空前的形容词accurate和timely可知,本空应用名词形式,故填delivery。
类比启发
动词+-y变名词:deliver→delivery;discover→discovery;recover→recovery。
Ⅲ.1.lose track of 2.thanks to 3.social media 4.are up to 5.keep in mind 6.throw the baby out with the bathwater
Ⅳ.1.proved to be very successful 2.Whatever happens 3.What if 4.prefer to cook;rather than
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.losing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,meant为and前一分句中的谓语,故此处应用非谓语动词。此处表示“搬到一个新的城镇意味着与你的朋友们失去联系”,mean doing sth.“意味着做某事”,故本空应用动名词形式作宾语。
易错归因
本空易错填不定式to lose。需要注意:mean to do sth.意为“打算做某事”,与本句句意不符。
2.took 考查时态。分析句子成分可知,本空在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,根据语境可知,本空应使用一般过去时。
3.significantly 考查副词。设空处修饰changed,应用副词形式,故填significantly。
4.enables 考查时态及主谓一致。句意:数字时代使我们能够联系到和我们有共同兴趣的人,即使他们生活在世界的另一边。本句阐述的是现在的事实,且结合上下文语境可知,本空也应使用一般现在时;且The digital age为单数,故本空应填enables。
5.who/that 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为名词people,空后句子缺少主语,故推测此处为定语从句。修饰先行词people,指人,定语从句的关系词在从句中作主语,故本空应用关系代词who或that。
6.the 考查冠词。on the other side of...为固定短语,意为“在……的另一边”。
7.to post 考查非谓语动词。句意:在社交媒体网站上,人们往往只发布让自己显得快乐且友好的积极的最新消息。tend to do sth.意为“往往做某事”,故本空应用不定式作宾语。
8.friendly 考查形容词。appear意为“显得”,在此处为系动词,本空在句中和形容词happy一起作appear的表语,应用形容词,故填friendly。
9.with 考查介词。share sth. with sb.意为“和某人分享某物”,故本空应用介词with。
10.meaning 考查名词。句意:尽管科技改变了我们获得朋友的方式,但友谊的意义和我们对结交朋友的渴望是不变的。本空作主语,根据空前冠词the及空后介词of可知,本空应用名词形式,故填meaning,意为“意义”。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了友谊的重要性以及如何保持友谊。
【高频词汇】 1.make up组成,构成 2.over time随着时间的推移 3.well-being n.幸福;健康 4.for good永远 5.be meant to do sth. 注定做某事 6.let sth. go 松开或放弃某事物
1.are maintained 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:朋友在大多数人的生活中占据了很大的一部分,但随着时间的推移,友谊也会褪色,除非被小心地维护。本句陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,且maintain与they之间为被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语表复数,故填are maintained。
2.to stay 考查非谓语动词。句意:为友谊付出努力是使友谊保持牢固的关键。enable sb./sth. to do sth.意为“使某人/某事物能够做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式。
3.Spending 考查非谓语动词。句意:花时间和朋友在一起可以增加我们的幸福感,让我们快乐,并改善我们的整体心理健康。本空在句中作主语,表示经常性或习惯性的动作,故应用动名词形式。
4.and 考查连词。空前increase our feelings of well-being、make us happy和空后improve our overall mental health为并列关系,应用and连接。
5.is 考查时态及主谓一致。句意:没有一种方法可以永远保持友谊。本句陈述客观事实,且主语no one way为单数,故本空应用is。
6.oldest 考查形容词最高级。句意:“做你自己”是最古老的交友建议之一。“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”意为“最……的……之一”,故填oldest。
7.in 考查介词。句意:为了保持牢固的友谊,你应该尽量做自己,这样你就可以准确地向别人描述你的需求和愿望,让他们有机会以最好的方式照顾你。in...way意为“以……方式”,故本空应用介词in。
8.The 考查冠词。句意:你唯一能控制的就是你自己。only前应用定冠词the。the only one意为“唯一”。本空位于句首,首字母应大写,故填The。
9.distance 考查名词。句意:因此,有时你可能不得不学会如何对那些友谊放手,或者学会在你经常感到被对方误解或不被尊重的时候与他保持距离。本空作动词put的宾语,应用名词distance,意为“距离”。
10.misunderstood 考查非谓语动词。动词misunderstand与you之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词misunderstood,和空后disrespected并列。
Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者整理旧盒子时发现了以前的友谊手链,回忆起了童年时代与朋友们交换手链的美好回忆。作者发现现在的孩子们不再进行这样的传统交换,而是通过手机的社交软件保持联系,这使得他们无法像以前那样留下有实物证据的友情回忆。
【高频词汇】 1.sort through翻查;归整 2.precious adj.珍贵的 3.first-hand adv.直接地 adj.直接的
4.represent v.代表 5.in return作为回报,作为交换
6.hang out 常去某处;泡在某处
【差距词汇】 1.faded adj.褪色的 2.worn adj.用旧的,用坏的 3.slip sth. into... 把某物塞进……
1.C 细节理解题。文章第一段提到作者在整理旧盒子时发现了友谊手链,觉得它就像一个时间胶囊,紧接着说 “Holding it in my hand made me think of those precious memories of childhood”,所以作者把手链和时间胶囊联系起来是因为手链能让她想起自己的童年。故选C。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前“My handiwork wasn't beautiful...it would always be with him or her.”及后文“like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond”可知,作者的手工作品并不是很美,但是当把它送给朋友时,它的意义变得深刻,后文把这种经历比喻成交换结婚戒指,是一种牢不可破的纽带的象征。因此推测画线词“intoxicating”应该是表达积极且让人激动、兴奋的意思。故选C。
方法归纳
词义猜测题一般需要利用上下文语境并结合选项来解答。解答这类题目时首先要读懂与画线词密切相关的上下文,然后进行合理推测,最后结合选项得出正确的答案。
3.B 细节理解题。第四段描述了作者的孩子们与朋友之间的相处方式:他们在 Discord 上聊天,聊天只是暂停但从不结束,不停地在手机上发短信,互相制作有声聊天表情和TikTok视频。第五段提到“Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets”,这些都表明作者认为孩子们花太多时间在手机上,与自己童年时通过制作和交换手链等方式建立友谊的情况大不一样,故选 B。
4.D 推理判断题。文章第一段提到手链让作者想起童年的珍贵回忆,而自己的孩子不会有这样的亲身经历,最后一段也说孩子们现在的相处方式使得他们没有像手链这样实实在在可以留存、能承载回忆的物品,所以友谊手链以一种作者的孩子们永远不会知道的方式赋予了作者童年特殊的意义,故选 D 。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了The Peaceful Pen Pals Project,这个项目把相似年龄的孩子们联结在一起。
【高频词汇】 1.distant adj.遥远的 2.nonprofit adj.非营利的 3.to date迄今为止 4.participate in参加
5.sign up 注册,报名 6.select v.选择 7.establish v.建立 8.bond n.纽带,联系,关系 9.peer n.同龄人
mon ground共同基础,共同点
5.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age. This establishes a point of connection quickly for the children and facilitates a stronger bond.”可知,the Peaceful Pen Pals Project将每个孩子与年龄相仿的笔友配对,这为孩子们迅速建立了一个联系点,并促进了更牢固的联系。因此该项目有助于加强孩子们之间的联系。故选A。
6.D 段落大意题。根据第三段中“they can chat about schools, their teachers, and what they are studying...in a similar situation(他们可以聊聊学校,他们的老师,他们正在学习什么。他们还可以比较不同的州或国家学习的内容,以及课堂氛围怎么样,无论是社交还是学术。如果孩子们觉得自己是在与处境相似的同龄人交谈,他们也更有可能写下自己现有的问题)”可知,本段主要介绍了拥有同龄朋友的好处。故选D。
7.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Rebecca Fraser-Thill说的话“Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else's viewpoint and to think outside of themselves”和“Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage teens' interest in geography, history and culture.”可知,从国际笔友那里听到第一手的故事可以鼓励青少年听取他人的观点,跳出自己的角度思考,也可以激发他们对地理、历史和文化的兴趣。由此可推知,Rebecca Fraser-Thill对于这个项目是支持的(supportive)。故选B。A.谨慎的;C.不感兴趣的;D.失望的。
8.C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文围绕the Peaceful Pen Pals Project展开,介绍了该项目把相似年龄的孩子们联结在一起。故C项为最佳标题。

It's always exciting to receive a letter in the mail. Even today, when we tend to rely on social media, receiving an actual letter in your mailbox from a distant land is a great way for children to make new friends.
The Peaceful Pen Pals Project is part of the nonprofit organization Kids for Peace, founded by Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram in California in 2006. It is open to all children between the ages of two and seventeen. To date, there are 1,500 children from 17 countries participating in the project according to the organization. Currently, all letters are written in English. When children sign up, they can select whether they prefer to be matched with a USA Peaceful Pen Pal or an international one.
Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age. This establishes a point of connection quickly for the children and facilitates(促进)a stronger bond. If the letter writers are in the same grade, they can chat about schools, their teachers, and what they are studying. They can also compare what different states or countries learn about and how the atmospheres of the classroom are, whether socially or academically. Children may also be more likely to write about problems they are having if they feel like they are speaking to a peer in a similar situation. Although pen pals may live in different countries, they may find common ground. The writer lists his or her favorite activities to do outside, plus what he or she likes best and least about school. This gives the writer an opportunity to express himself or herself and receive comfort, advice or feedback(反馈) from the pen pal.
“Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else's viewpoint and to think outside of themselves,” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill on Very Well Family. “Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage teens' interest in geography, history and culture.”

基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.Click 2.adventure 3.goods 4.saying
Ⅱ.1.with;familiarity 考查介词和名词。句意:虽然我不熟悉这个城市,但每当我走过街道时,我都会有一种熟悉的感觉。sb. be familiar with sth.意为“某人熟悉某事/某物”,故第一空应用介词with;根据第二空前的介词of可知,第二空应用名词, a feeling of familiarity意为“熟悉感”。
类比启发
形容词+-ity变名词:similar相似的 → similarity相像性;popular 受欢迎的→popularity受欢迎,流行;major主要的→majority大多数;real真实的→ reality现实;equal 相等的,平等的→ equality平等;secure安全的→ security安全。
2.in 考查介词。句意:提前预订酒店房间是明智的,这样当你到达目的地时,你就可以有一个休息的地方。in advance意为“提前”,故本空应用介词in。
3.significantly;significance 考查副词和名词。句意:该文化交流项目显著增进了两国之间的了解,对国际关系具有重要意义。第一空修饰动词improved,应用副词形式,故填significantly;第二空根据空前介词of和形容词great可知,应用名词形式,故填significance。
知识拓展
be of+抽象名词=be+该抽象名词对应的形容词,用来描述某人或某物具有某种特征或属性。如:be of value=be valuable 有价值;be of importance=be important 重要;be of significance=be significant有意义;be of use=be useful有用;be of benefit=be beneficial有益;be of influence=be influential 有影响力。
4.be acquired 考查被动语态。句意:知识可以从书本中获得,而技能必须通过实践学到。动词acquire和主语Knowledge之间为被动关系,故本空应用被动语态。
5.to explore 考查非谓语动词。句意:建立自信使我们能够勇敢地探索未知的世界。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使某人能够做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式。
6.to assume 考查非谓语动词。句意:大量研究表明,我们往往认为自己可以做得比实际上能做到的更好。tend to do sth.意为“易于做某事,往往做某事”,故本空应用不定式作宾语。
7.delivering;delivery 考查非谓语动词和名词。句意:邮递员在投递信件时必须仔细检查地址,因为准确和及时地投递邮件是他工作的重要部分。“when letters”为“连词+分词”结构,在句中作状语,动词deliver和其逻辑主语The postman之间为主动关系,故第一空应用现在分词delivering;根据第二空前的形容词accurate和timely可知,本空应用名词形式,故填delivery。
类比启发
动词+-y变名词:deliver→delivery;discover→discovery;recover→recovery。
Ⅲ.1.lose track of 2.thanks to 3.social media 4.are up to 5.keep in mind 6.throw the baby out with the bathwater
Ⅳ.1.proved to be very successful 2.Whatever happens 3.What if 4.prefer to cook;rather than
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.losing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,meant为and前一分句中的谓语,故此处应用非谓语动词。此处表示“搬到一个新的城镇意味着与你的朋友们失去联系”,mean doing sth.“意味着做某事”,故本空应用动名词形式作宾语。
易错归因
本空易错填不定式to lose。需要注意:mean to do sth.意为“打算做某事”,与本句句意不符。
2.took 考查时态。分析句子成分可知,本空在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,根据语境可知,本空应使用一般过去时。
3.significantly 考查副词。设空处修饰changed,应用副词形式,故填significantly。
4.enables 考查时态及主谓一致。句意:数字时代使我们能够联系到和我们有共同兴趣的人,即使他们生活在世界的另一边。本句阐述的是现在的事实,且结合上下文语境可知,本空也应使用一般现在时;且The digital age为单数,故本空应填enables。
5.who/that 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为名词people,空后句子缺少主语,故推测此处为定语从句。修饰先行词people,指人,定语从句的关系词在从句中作主语,故本空应用关系代词who或that。
6.the 考查冠词。on the other side of...为固定短语,意为“在……的另一边”。
7.to post 考查非谓语动词。句意:在社交媒体网站上,人们往往只发布让自己显得快乐且友好的积极的最新消息。tend to do sth.意为“往往做某事”,故本空应用不定式作宾语。
8.friendly 考查形容词。appear意为“显得”,在此处为系动词,本空在句中和形容词happy一起作appear的表语,应用形容词,故填friendly。
9.with 考查介词。share sth. with sb.意为“和某人分享某物”,故本空应用介词with。
10.meaning 考查名词。句意:尽管科技改变了我们获得朋友的方式,但友谊的意义和我们对结交朋友的渴望是不变的。本空作主语,根据空前冠词the及空后介词of可知,本空应用名词形式,故填meaning,意为“意义”。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了友谊的重要性以及如何保持友谊。
【高频词汇】 1.make up组成,构成 2.over time随着时间的推移 3.well-being n.幸福;健康 4.for good永远 5.be meant to do sth. 注定做某事 6.let sth. go 松开或放弃某事物
1.are maintained 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:朋友在大多数人的生活中占据了很大的一部分,但随着时间的推移,友谊也会褪色,除非被小心地维护。本句陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,且maintain与they之间为被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语表复数,故填are maintained。
2.to stay 考查非谓语动词。句意:为友谊付出努力是使友谊保持牢固的关键。enable sb./sth. to do sth.意为“使某人/某事物能够做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式。
3.Spending 考查非谓语动词。句意:花时间和朋友在一起可以增加我们的幸福感,让我们快乐,并改善我们的整体心理健康。本空在句中作主语,表示经常性或习惯性的动作,故应用动名词形式。
4.and 考查连词。空前increase our feelings of well-being、make us happy和空后improve our overall mental health为并列关系,应用and连接。
5.is 考查时态及主谓一致。句意:没有一种方法可以永远保持友谊。本句陈述客观事实,且主语no one way为单数,故本空应用is。
6.oldest 考查形容词最高级。句意:“做你自己”是最古老的交友建议之一。“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”意为“最……的……之一”,故填oldest。
7.in 考查介词。句意:为了保持牢固的友谊,你应该尽量做自己,这样你就可以准确地向别人描述你的需求和愿望,让他们有机会以最好的方式照顾你。in...way意为“以……方式”,故本空应用介词in。
8.The 考查冠词。句意:你唯一能控制的就是你自己。only前应用定冠词the。the only one意为“唯一”。本空位于句首,首字母应大写,故填The。
9.distance 考查名词。句意:因此,有时你可能不得不学会如何对那些友谊放手,或者学会在你经常感到被对方误解或不被尊重的时候与他保持距离。本空作动词put的宾语,应用名词distance,意为“距离”。
10.misunderstood 考查非谓语动词。动词misunderstand与you之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词misunderstood,和空后disrespected并列。
Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者整理旧盒子时发现了以前的友谊手链,回忆起了童年时代与朋友们交换手链的美好回忆。作者发现现在的孩子们不再进行这样的传统交换,而是通过手机的社交软件保持联系,这使得他们无法像以前那样留下有实物证据的友情回忆。
【高频词汇】 1.sort through翻查;归整 2.precious adj.珍贵的 3.first-hand adv.直接地 adj.直接的
4.represent v.代表 5.in return作为回报,作为交换
6.hang out 常去某处;泡在某处
【差距词汇】 1.faded adj.褪色的 2.worn adj.用旧的,用坏的 3.slip sth. into... 把某物塞进……
1.C 细节理解题。文章第一段提到作者在整理旧盒子时发现了友谊手链,觉得它就像一个时间胶囊,紧接着说 “Holding it in my hand made me think of those precious memories of childhood”,所以作者把手链和时间胶囊联系起来是因为手链能让她想起自己的童年。故选C。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前“My handiwork wasn't beautiful...it would always be with him or her.”及后文“like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond”可知,作者的手工作品并不是很美,但是当把它送给朋友时,它的意义变得深刻,后文把这种经历比喻成交换结婚戒指,是一种牢不可破的纽带的象征。因此推测画线词“intoxicating”应该是表达积极且让人激动、兴奋的意思。故选C。
方法归纳
词义猜测题一般需要利用上下文语境并结合选项来解答。解答这类题目时首先要读懂与画线词密切相关的上下文,然后进行合理推测,最后结合选项得出正确的答案。
3.B 细节理解题。第四段描述了作者的孩子们与朋友之间的相处方式:他们在 Discord 上聊天,聊天只是暂停但从不结束,不停地在手机上发短信,互相制作有声聊天表情和TikTok视频。第五段提到“Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets”,这些都表明作者认为孩子们花太多时间在手机上,与自己童年时通过制作和交换手链等方式建立友谊的情况大不一样,故选 B。
4.D 推理判断题。文章第一段提到手链让作者想起童年的珍贵回忆,而自己的孩子不会有这样的亲身经历,最后一段也说孩子们现在的相处方式使得他们没有像手链这样实实在在可以留存、能承载回忆的物品,所以友谊手链以一种作者的孩子们永远不会知道的方式赋予了作者童年特殊的意义,故选 D 。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了The Peaceful Pen Pals Project,这个项目把相似年龄的孩子们联结在一起。
【高频词汇】 1.distant adj.遥远的 2.nonprofit adj.非营利的 3.to date迄今为止 4.participate in参加
5.sign up 注册,报名 6.select v.选择 7.establish v.建立 8.bond n.纽带,联系,关系 9.peer n.同龄人
mon ground共同基础,共同点
5.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age. This establishes a point of connection quickly for the children and facilitates a stronger bond.”可知,the Peaceful Pen Pals Project将每个孩子与年龄相仿的笔友配对,这为孩子们迅速建立了一个联系点,并促进了更牢固的联系。因此该项目有助于加强孩子们之间的联系。故选A。
6.D 段落大意题。根据第三段中“they can chat about schools, their teachers, and what they are studying...in a similar situation(他们可以聊聊学校,他们的老师,他们正在学习什么。他们还可以比较不同的州或国家学习的内容,以及课堂氛围怎么样,无论是社交还是学术。如果孩子们觉得自己是在与处境相似的同龄人交谈,他们也更有可能写下自己现有的问题)”可知,本段主要介绍了拥有同龄朋友的好处。故选D。
7.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Rebecca Fraser-Thill说的话“Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else's viewpoint and to think outside of themselves”和“Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage teens' interest in geography, history and culture.”可知,从国际笔友那里听到第一手的故事可以鼓励青少年听取他人的观点,跳出自己的角度思考,也可以激发他们对地理、历史和文化的兴趣。由此可推知,Rebecca Fraser-Thill对于这个项目是支持的(supportive)。故选B。A.谨慎的;C.不感兴趣的;D.失望的。
8.C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文围绕the Peaceful Pen Pals Project展开,介绍了该项目把相似年龄的孩子们联结在一起。故C项为最佳标题。
