Friendship Magazine
Many people celebrate Friendship Day although they may celebrate it on different dates. In most countries, it falls on the first Sunday of August. The tradition of celebrating a day in honor of friends began in the US in 1935. Gradually, the festival became popular across the world. Here is how some of our readers spend Friendship Day.
Jane, France I do celebrate Friendship Day. I usually invite some of my friends to a nice restaurant to have heart to heart talks. The talks help to develop our friendship. We love and understand one another better.
Ben, England I like this special holiday. On this day, I draw toy bears on small cards and send them to my friends. With these cards, I show my love and care for them.
Mark, Australia We boys celebrate Friendship Day, too, but in a different way. We may play tennis or go camping together. It's really fun!
Anna, Canada This holiday reminds me of how much my friends mean to me. I can't think of life without friends. On this day my friends and I always send wrist bands to each other. How we love this day!
21.Where did the Friendship Day begin?

I grew up with the same group of kids from age 5 to age 12. We lived in the same community, shared the same schools and experienced all the ups and downs of that period.
Then I hit junior high and a whole new world opened up to me. It seemed everyone was there, friends from football teams and people from the summer workshop. They welcomed me, figuring that I had to be cool to know so many people. I was a different person with each new group of friends and began to distance myself from the “kindergarten group”.
However, it wasn't long before these so called new friends left me when they found out I really wasn't cool enough to be there. This was one of the hardest times in my life. I felt alone and was very disappointed in myself. It was then, when I thought I had nowhere else to go, that I tried to make my way back into the “kindergarten group”. I organized a camp out and invited them to come. I had thought they were going to be cold and exclude me as I had done to them. But they all turned up and we just picked up right where we left off. There was absolutely no hate, only comfort and an unexpected sense of belonging. They gave me room to grow and learn my own lessons, my own way, in my own time.
From them, I have learned two things: the type of friends I want, and the type of friend I want to be. We will all continue to grow separately together, all the while providing the unconditional love, understanding and support only friends like these are capable of.
24.How did the author feel about her school life according to Paragraph 2?
A.Shocked. B.Upset.
C.Curious. D.Happy.
25.Why did the author organize a camp out?
A.To make more friends.
B.To get close to nature.
C.To apologize to her friends.
D.To reconnect with her old friends.
26.What does the underlined word “exclude” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Cheat. B.Refuse.
C.Warn. D.Attack.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Friend in Need
B.My Kindergarten Group
C.Lessons in Friendship
D.Friends in My New School

The world's oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (跨大西洋的) letters.
Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started writing to each other aged just 16. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact—and 84 years later they are still contacting.
Geoff, a retired engineer, said, “I can't quite remember how we got in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school's plan, which matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since. There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too because I can't write very well anymore. We just talk about daily lives and our families. She's always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.”
Though having chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice—first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later. Geoff is now a great grandfather, having three sons settling across the world and many more grandchildren. “I have this new thing called Zoom. I think now it's time to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They're much better at pressing all the buttons.”
28.What may bring Geoff and Celesta to be pen pals?
A.The world war.
B.Geoff's visit to New York.
C.An American school's plan.
D.Communication technology.
29.Why did Geoff use email to write letters later?
A.He relied on Zoom to chat.
B.He was unable to write well.
C.He suffered from eye disease.
D.He wrote to Celesta's daughter.
30.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Pen pals are true friends.
B.Technology builds friendship.
C.Letters were not allowed during the war.
D.True friendship survives time and space.
31.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Oldest Pen Pals in the World
B.A Great Way to Keep in Touch
C.Importance of Being Pen Pals
D.Zoom: A New Technology to Chat
D
Every day, as I took long walks through North Vancouver, I would think about the potential joys of a physically closer network. Wouldn't it be great to have someone who could join me at a moment's notice? How good would it be to have more non-scheduled hangs instead of ones that had to be planned weeks in advance?
This doesn't have to be just a dream. Although technology is making it easier to maintain long-distance connections, nothing can replace seeing friends in person. Researchers have found that happiness spreads “like an emotional contagion (传染)”, especially among those who live close together.
Friends who live in the same city could decide to move within walking distance of one another—the same neighborhood, block, or even apartment building. Doing so would likely involve a lot of effort, but the resulting community could pay emotional dividends for years. Doing so would make it easier to support one another materially and emotionally.
Moving close to your friends requires some masterminding. Cities can make doing so easier by ending single-family zoning codes and encouraging a variety of housing types in neighborhoods. But even without official policies, people can make it work on their own. Sam Unger, 32, a food scientist and a friend of mine, has created a chosen family like this in Montreal, where about 15 of her friends live within walking distance of one another. When someone moves away, they try to transfer (移交) their lease (租约) to other friends. And when pals based elsewhere in the city are looking to move, Unger will try selling them on the positives of her neighborhood and sometimes even look for housing for them. “It's funny,” she told me. “The other day, I bought a fire extinguisher (灭火器), and she's like, ‘Oh, well, I have one. You could just call me if you had a fire, and I'd be right over with it.’”
32.What kind of lifestyle does the author prefer?
A.Alone. B.Modern.
C.Scheduled. D.Free.
33.What does the underlined word “dividends” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Needs. B.Benefits.
C.States. D.Effects.
34.Why does the author mention Sam Unger?
A.To tell Sam Unger has a talent in business.
B.To prove people can move closer on their own.
C.To show how important the official policies are.
D.To suggest how one can get on well with others.
35.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Live Closer to Your Friends
B.The Internet Brings People Closer
C.A Way to Maintain Relationships
D.Technology Harms Friendships

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet periods of reflection can lead to personal improvement. However, social life is also important to us. More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel. __36__
The first is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. __37__ And a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure. Indeed, the human heart depends on such opportunities for comfort and protection.
__38__ We often find it easier to recognize other people's weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgments might be one sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts into words first. This alone helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough understanding of our problems.
The last is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. __39__
By the way, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. __40__ The relationships should be carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
A.Friends should be carefully chosen.
B.Then comes the recognition from our friends.
C.Happiness shared takes on a greater meaning.
D.Therefore, we can be much happier and wiser.
E.They can help us achieve what we want in our life.
F.The next is the better judgement and understanding.
G.Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”.

How far would you go to help a friend? Jeremy Savage, aged 17, and Ian Marshal, aged 16, had their friendship __41__ on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains.

They had to __47__ and hope that help would come.
Meanwhile, as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very __48__ that the boys had not returned. They got in touch with park workers and began __49__ the boys.
While waiting for help, Jeremy gave Ian his food and water and let him lie on his jacket. As the evening grew __50__ and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents but Jeremy did not leave. He thought it was __51__ for Ian to be alone on such a cold, windy night. Jeremy used his jacket and an extra shirt to keep Ian __52__ and they rested together through the night.
At __53__, Jeremy started the long climb __54__ Ian down the mountain. Sometimes on his back. Sometimes in his arms. Finally, after four long and tiring hours, they __55__ their relieved parents, who were still looking for them on the mountain. “I will always remember what Jeremy did for me,” said Ian afterwards. “He saved my life.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alphabetical (字母表的) order was a big problem for Keisha Williams. In every list, on every line, in the lunchroom and the classroom, teachers put all the W's together. Alice Wilkins was always one place ahead of Keisha.
“You two are going to be friends,” said the girls' teacher, Ms Mubarak, “whether you like it or not.”
Yeah, right. Could she be friends with Alice? “I doubt it,” Keisha thought. Alice was perfect. She was everything Keisha wasn't. Alice changed her hairstyle every day. She always wore beautiful clothing. She had polish (指甲油) on her nails. Keisha had plain (普通的) nails, a very ordinary hairstyle—and not to mention her out of style clothes.
Alice had new fashionable notebooks. Keisha's notebooks were boring black and white. Keisha complained to her mother that her notebooks were too plain. “They still have paper and lines,” her mother said. “You don't need glitter (华丽) to make you smart.”
Keisha thought Alice's mother treated her like a grown up. Alice had a house key and said that she always let herself into her apartment. But when Keisha came home, she had to ring for her mother to open the door. And every time, her mother would give her a big bear hug. That's for babies, Keisha always thought, trying to free herself from her mother's arms.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One Tuesday at school when math tests were handed back, Keisha got her usual A. Later, in the cafeteria, Keisha and Alice worked on math problems together.

My Best Friend is a book for young children. It's mainly about a little girl named Lily. It's summer, and Lily spends lots of time at the community pool, where she sees Tamika. Lily decides that Tamika will be her new best friend. But Tamika already has a best friend and no matter how hard Lily tries, she can't seem to impress Tamika. The story tells about the difficulties of finding a friend. My daughter Lisa and I read the book together. She said that she would give the book three stars. But I would give it just two stars. I especially did not like the topic. I think as a parent we should explain to our children that when someone is being mean and ignoring you, pushing harder will not make them like you more. We should also tell them that it's OK to walk away from someone who is not showing true interest in being your friend. I wouldn't recommend the book. But through writing the book, Mary Ann Rodman did open the doors for me to teach Lisa that some people are mean and that it's OK to walk away from them and make new friends.

Many people celebrate Friendship Day although they may celebrate it on different dates. In most countries, it falls on the first Sunday of August. The tradition of celebrating a day in honor of friends began in the US in 1935. Gradually, the festival became popular across the world. Here is how some of our readers spend Friendship Day.
Jane, France I do celebrate Friendship Day. I usually invite some of my friends to a nice restaurant to have heart to heart talks. The talks help to develop our friendship. We love and understand one another better.
Ben, England I like this special holiday. On this day, I draw toy bears on small cards and send them to my friends. With these cards, I show my love and care for them.
Mark, Australia We boys celebrate Friendship Day, too, but in a different way. We may play tennis or go camping together. It's really fun!
Anna, Canada This holiday reminds me of how much my friends mean to me. I can't think of life without friends. On this day my friends and I always send wrist bands to each other. How we love this day!

I grew up with the same group of kids from age 5 to age 12. We lived in the same community, shared the same schools and experienced all the ups and downs of that period.
Then I hit junior high and a whole new world opened up to me. It seemed everyone was there, friends from football teams and people from the summer workshop. They welcomed me, figuring that I had to be cool to know so many people. I was a different person with each new group of friends and began to distance myself from the “kindergarten group”.
However, it wasn't long before these so called new friends left me when they found out I really wasn't cool enough to be there. This was one of the hardest times in my life. I felt alone and was very disappointed in myself. It was then, when I thought I had nowhere else to go, that I tried to make my way back into the “kindergarten group”. I organized a camp out and invited them to come. I had thought they were going to be cold and exclude me as I had done to them. But they all turned up and we just picked up right where we left off. There was absolutely no hate, only comfort and an unexpected sense of belonging. They gave me room to grow and learn my own lessons, my own way, in my own time.
From them, I have learned two things: the type of friends I want, and the type of friend I want to be. We will all continue to grow separately together, all the while providing the unconditional love, understanding and support only friends like these are capable of.

The world's oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (跨大西洋的) letters.
Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started writing to each other aged just 16. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact—and 84 years later they are still contacting.
Geoff, a retired engineer, said, “I can't quite remember how we got in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school's plan, which matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since. There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too because I can't write very well anymore. We just talk about daily lives and our families. She's always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.”
Though having chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice—first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later. Geoff is now a great grandfather, having three sons settling across the world and many more grandchildren. “I have this new thing called Zoom. I think now it's time to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They're much better at pressing all the buttons.”

答案:B

Every day, as I took long walks through North Vancouver, I would think about the potential joys of a physically closer network. Wouldn't it be great to have someone who could join me at a moment's notice? How good would it be to have more non-scheduled hangs instead of ones that had to be planned weeks in advance?
This doesn't have to be just a dream. Although technology is making it easier to maintain long-distance connections, nothing can replace seeing friends in person. Researchers have found that happiness spreads “like an emotional contagion (传染)”, especially among those who live close together.
Friends who live in the same city could decide to move within walking distance of one another—the same neighborhood, block, or even apartment building. Doing so would likely involve a lot of effort, but the resulting community could pay emotional dividends for years. Doing so would make it easier to support one another materially and emotionally.
Moving close to your friends requires some masterminding. Cities can make doing so easier by ending single-family zoning codes and encouraging a variety of housing types in neighborhoods. But even without official policies, people can make it work on their own. Sam Unger, 32, a food scientist and a friend of mine, has created a chosen family like this in Montreal, where about 15 of her friends live within walking distance of one another. When someone moves away, they try to transfer (移交) their lease (租约) to other friends. And when pals based elsewhere in the city are looking to move, Unger will try selling them on the positives of her neighborhood and sometimes even look for housing for them. “It's funny,” she told me. “The other day, I bought a fire extinguisher (灭火器), and she's like, ‘Oh, well, I have one. You could just call me if you had a fire, and I'd be right over with it.’”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了和朋友住得近会带来很多好处。
32.What kind of lifestyle does the author prefer?
A.Alone. B.Modern.
C.Scheduled. D.Free.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Wouldn't it be great ... in advance?”可知,作者喜欢和朋友相伴,且不喜欢按照计划行事的生活方式。由此可推知,作者喜欢自由的生活方式。故选D。
33.What does the underlined word “dividends” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Needs. B.Benefits.
C.States. D.Effects.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Doing so would make it easier to support one another materially and emotionally.”可知,和朋友住得近一些会更容易在物质和情感上相互支持,即可以带来许多情感上的好处,因此画线词意为“好处”。故选B。
34.Why does the author mention Sam Unger?
A.To tell Sam Unger has a talent in business.
B.To prove people can move closer on their own.
C.To show how important the official policies are.
D.To suggest how one can get on well with others.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But even without official policies, people can make it work on their own.(但即使没有官方政策,人们也可以自己让它发挥作用。)”可推知,作者提到Sam Unger(山姆·昂格尔)是想要证明人们可以凭借自己的努力和朋友住得近。故选B。
35.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Live Closer to Your Friends
B.The Internet Brings People Closer

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet periods of reflection can lead to personal improvement. However, social life is also important to us. More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel. __36__
The first is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. __37__ And a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure. Indeed, the human heart depends on such opportunities for comfort and protection.
__38__ We often find it easier to recognize other people's weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgments might be one sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts into words first. This alone helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough understanding of our problems.
The last is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. __39__
By the way, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. __40__ The relationships should be carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
A.Friends should be carefully chosen.
B.Then comes the recognition from our friends.
C.Happiness shared takes on a greater meaning.
D.Therefore, we can be much happier and wiser.
E.They can help us achieve what we want in our life.
F.The next is the better judgement and understanding.
G.Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alphabetical (字母表的) order was a big problem for Keisha Williams. In every list, on every line, in the lunchroom and the classroom, teachers put all the W's together. Alice Wilkins was always one place ahead of Keisha.
“You two are going to be friends,” said the girls' teacher, Ms Mubarak, “whether you like it or not.”
Yeah, right. Could she be friends with Alice? “I doubt it,” Keisha thought. Alice was perfect. She was everything Keisha wasn't. Alice changed her hairstyle every day. She always wore beautiful clothing. She had polish (指甲油) on her nails. Keisha had plain (普通的) nails, a very ordinary hairstyle—and not to mention her out of style clothes.
Alice had new fashionable notebooks. Keisha's notebooks were boring black and white. Keisha complained to her mother that her notebooks were too plain. “They still have paper and lines,” her mother said. “You don't need glitter (华丽) to make you smart.”
Keisha thought Alice's mother treated her like a grown up. Alice had a house key and said that she always let herself into her apartment. But when Keisha came home, she had to ring for her mother to open the door. And every time, her mother would give her a big bear hug. That's for babies, Keisha always thought, trying to free herself from her mother's arms.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One Tuesday at school when math tests were handed back, Keisha got her usual A. Later, in the cafeteria, Keisha and Alice worked on math problems together.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Keisha (凯莎)认为Alice (艾丽斯)是完美的,而自己平平无奇,因此对老师说她们会成为朋友表示怀疑。星期二,Keisha在数学考试中照常得了A。Alice对Keisha有何评价?两人一起在餐厅学习数学,通过和Alice交谈,Keisha会改变原来的想法吗?
[精彩范文]
One Tuesday at school when math tests were handed back, Keisha got her usual A. Seconds later, Alice turned around and whispered, “I think you're the smartest girl in our grade.” “Thank you,” replied Keisha, surprised by the praise. “I'm not so good at math,” Alice admitted. “I've been afraid to ask, but ... can you help me?” “Sure,” Keisha said. “At lunch?” Alice asked. Keisha nodded.
Later, in the cafeteria, Keisha and Alice worked on math problems together. Alice discovered that Keisha was a math talent. “How do you do that?” Alice wondered. “I work with my mom,” Keisha explained. “I work on math problems by myself first, then my mom tests me.” “Oh,” said Alice, “my mom always works late and doesn't have time to help me. You are lucky to have such a great mom.” That day when Keisha got home from school, her mother met her at the door and gave her the usual bear hug. This time, Keisha didn't avoid her. She smiled.

My Best Friend is a book for young children. It's mainly about a little girl named Lily. It's summer, and Lily spends lots of time at the community pool, where she sees Tamika. Lily decides that Tamika will be her new best friend. But Tamika already has a best friend and no matter how hard Lily tries, she can't seem to impress Tamika. The story tells about the difficulties of finding a friend.
My daughter Lisa and I read the book together. She said that she would give the book three stars. But I would give it just two stars. I especially did not like the topic. I think as a parent we should explain to our children that when someone is being mean and ignoring you, pushing harder will not make them like you more. We should also tell them that it's OK to walk away from someone who is not showing true interest in being your friend. I wouldn't recommend the book. But through writing the book, Mary Ann Rodman did open the doors for me to teach Lisa that some people are mean and that it's OK to walk away from them and make new friends.
18.What does Lily want Tamika to do?
A.Teach her to swim.
B.Work harder.
C.Be her best friend.
19.Who would give the book two stars?
A.The speaker.
B.The speaker's son.
C.The speaker's daughter.
20.What does the speaker mainly talk about?
A.How to read a book.
B.How to develop an interest.
C.How to make friends.

Friendship Magazine
Many people celebrate Friendship Day although they may celebrate it on different dates. In most countries, it falls on the first Sunday of August. The tradition of celebrating a day in honor of friends began in the US in 1935. Gradually, the festival became popular across the world. Here is how some of our readers spend Friendship Day.
Jane, France I do celebrate Friendship Day. I usually invite some of my friends to a nice restaurant to have heart to heart talks. The talks help to develop our friendship. We love and understand one another better.
Ben, England I like this special holiday. On this day, I draw toy bears on small cards and send them to my friends. With these cards, I show my love and care for them.
Mark, Australia We boys celebrate Friendship Day, too, but in a different way. We may play tennis or go camping together. It's really fun!
篇章导读:本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了友谊日的起源,以及四位来自不同国家的读者庆祝友谊日的方式。

I grew up with the same group of kids from age 5 to age 12. We lived in the same community, shared the same schools and experienced all the ups and downs of that period.
Then I hit junior high and a whole new world opened up to me. It seemed everyone was there, friends from football teams and people from the summer workshop. They welcomed me, figuring that I had to be cool to know so many people. I was a different person with each new group of friends and began to distance myself from the “kindergarten group”.
However, it wasn't long before these so called new friends left me when they found out I really wasn't cool enough to be there. This was one of the hardest times in my life. I felt alone and was very disappointed in myself. It was then, when I thought I had nowhere else to go, that I tried to make my way back into the “kindergarten group”. I organized a camp out and invited them to come. I had thought they were going to be cold and exclude me as I had done to them. But they all turned up and we just picked up right where we left off. There was absolutely no hate, only comfort and an unexpected sense of belonging. They gave me room to grow and learn my own lessons, my own way, in my own time.
From them, I have learned two things: the type of friends I want, and the type of friend I want to be. We will all continue to grow separately together, all the while providing the unconditional love, understanding and support only friends like these are capable of.

The world's oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (跨大西洋的) letters.
Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started writing to each other aged just 16. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact—and 84 years later they are still contacting.
Geoff, a retired engineer, said, “I can't quite remember how we got in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school's plan, which matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since. There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too because I can't write very well anymore. We just talk about daily lives and our families. She's always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.”
Though having chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice—first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later. Geoff is now a great grandfather, having three sons settling across the world and many more grandchildren. “I have this new thing called Zoom. I think now it's time to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They're much better at pressing all the buttons.”

B.He was unable to write well.
C.He suffered from eye disease.
D.He wrote to Celesta's daughter.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Email is much easier ... very well anymore.”可知,Geoff (杰夫)后来用电子邮件写信是因为他写不好字了。故选B。
30.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Pen pals are true friends.
B.Technology builds friendship.
C.Letters were not allowed during the war.
D.True friendship survives time and space.

Every day, as I took long walks through North Vancouver, I would think about the potential joys of a physically closer network. Wouldn't it be great to have someone who could join me at a moment's notice? How good would it be to have more non-scheduled hangs instead of ones that had to be planned weeks in advance?
This doesn't have to be just a dream. Although technology is making it easier to maintain long-distance connections, nothing can replace seeing friends in person. Researchers have found that happiness spreads “like an emotional contagion (传染)”, especially among those who live close together.
Friends who live in the same city could decide to move within walking distance of one another—the same neighborhood, block, or even apartment building. Doing so would likely involve a lot of effort, but the resulting community could pay emotional dividends for years. Doing so would make it easier to support one another materially and emotionally.
Moving close to your friends requires some masterminding. Cities can make doing so easier by ending single-family zoning codes and encouraging a variety of housing types in neighborhoods. But even without official policies, people can make it work on their own. Sam Unger, 32, a food scientist and a friend of mine, has created a chosen family like this in Montreal, where about 15 of her friends live within walking distance of one another. When someone moves away, they try to transfer (移交) their lease (租约) to other friends. And when pals based elsewhere in the city are looking to move, Unger will try selling them on the positives of her neighborhood and sometimes even look for housing for them. “It's funny,” she told me.
“The other day, I bought a fire extinguisher (灭火器), and she's like, ‘Oh, well, I have one. You could just call me if you had a fire, and I'd be right over with it.’”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了和朋友住得近会带来很多好处。
32.What kind of lifestyle does the author prefer?
A.Alone. B.Modern.
C.Scheduled. D.Free.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Wouldn't it be great ... in advance?”可知,作者喜欢和朋友相伴,且不喜欢按照计划行事的生活方式。由此可推知,作者喜欢自由的生活方式。故选D。
33.What does the underlined word “dividends” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Needs. B.Benefits.
C.States. D.Effects.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Doing so would make it easier to support one another materially and emotionally.”可知,和朋友住得近一些会更容易在物质和情感上相互支持,即可以带来许多情感上的好处,因此画线词意为“好处”。故选B。
34.Why does the author mention Sam Unger?
A.To tell Sam Unger has a talent in business.
B.To prove people can move closer on their own.
C.To show how important the official policies are.
D.To suggest how one can get on well with others.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But even without official policies, people can make it work on their own.(但即使没有官方政策,人们也可以自己让它发挥作用。)”可推知,作者提到Sam Unger(山姆·昂格尔)是想要证明人们可以凭借自己的努力和朋友住得近。故选B。
35.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Live Closer to Your Friends
B.The Internet Brings People Closer
C.A Way to Maintain Relationships
D.Technology Harms Friendships
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了和朋友住得近的好处。A项(和你的朋友住得近点)最适合作为文章标题。故选A。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet periods of reflection can lead to personal improvement. However, social life is also important to us. More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel. __36__
The first is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. __37__ And a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure. Indeed, the human heart depends on such opportunities for comfort and protection.
__38__ We often find it easier to recognize other people's weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgments might be one sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts into words first. This alone helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough understanding of our problems.
The last is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. __39__
By the way, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. __40__ The relationships should be carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
A.Friends should be carefully chosen.
B.Then comes the recognition from our friends.
C.Happiness shared takes on a greater meaning.
D.Therefore, we can be much happier and wiser.
E.They can help us achieve what we want in our life.
F.The next is the better judgement and understanding.
G.Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亲密的友谊的三个好处。
36.答案:G
解析:句根据下文“The first is ... success and failure.”以及“The last is ... many different ways.”可知,下文介绍了友谊的好处。G项(一般来说,亲密的友谊有三个“果实”。)引出下文。故选G。
37.答案:C
解析:上文“Here, friendship has a double advantage.”表明友谊有双重优势;下文“And a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved!”指出与人分担麻烦,麻烦就会减半。C项(共享的幸福具有更大的意义。)与下文并列,解释了友谊的双重优势。故选C。
38.答案:F
解析:根据上文“The first is ... success and failure.”及下文“The last is ... many different ways.”可知,设空处应介绍友谊的第二个好处。根据下文“We often find it ... our problems.”可知,友谊让我们有更好的判断及对问题的理解。F项(其次是更好的判断和理解。)引出下文。故选F。
39.答案:E
解析:根据上文“Friends may have many different ideas and skills.”可知,朋友们可能有很多不同的想法和技能。E项(它们可以帮助我们实现我们想要的生活。)承接上文,E项中的They指代上文中的different ideas and skills。故选E。
40.答案:A
解析:根据上文“By the way ... being with friends.”可知,享受人群的陪伴和与朋友在一起是不一样的;根据下文“The relationships should be carefully developed.(应该谨慎发展关系。)”可知,A项(应该慎重选择朋友。)承上启下。故选A。

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蒙顶山黄芽茶的特点以及制作工艺。
56.答案:is
解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。设空处是宾语从句的谓语动词,根据主句谓语say可知,句子时态为一般现在时,主语为it,be动词应用is。故填is。
57.答案:to
解析:考查介词。refer to表示“指的是”,为固定搭配。故填to。
58.答案:which/that

59.答案:making

60.答案:more difficult
解析:考查形容词的比较级。设空处作表语,根据下文than可知,应用形容词的比较级。故填more difficult。
61.答案:carefully
解析:考查词性转换。修饰动词place,应用副词carefully。故填carefully。
62.答案:workers
解析:考查名词。根据上文two可知,worker应用复数。故填workers。
63.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。短语a kind of表示“一种”,且very是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
64.答案:and
解析:考查连词。此处tender与clean为并列关系,应用连词and。故填and。
65.答案:express
解析:考查词性转换。句中已有谓语动词have,and连接两个并列成分,作谓语,设空处应用动词原形。故填express。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alphabetical (字母表的) order was a big problem for Keisha Williams. In every list, on every line, in the lunchroom and the classroom, teachers put all the W's together. Alice Wilkins was always one place ahead of Keisha.
“You two are going to be friends,” said the girls' teacher, Ms Mubarak, “whether you like it or not.”
Yeah, right. Could she be friends with Alice? “I doubt it,” Keisha thought. Alice was perfect. She was everything Keisha wasn't. Alice changed her hairstyle every day. She always wore beautiful clothing. She had polish (指甲油) on her nails. Keisha had plain (普通的) nails, a very ordinary hairstyle—and not to mention her out of style clothes.
Alice had new fashionable notebooks. Keisha's notebooks were boring black and white. Keisha complained to her mother that her notebooks were too plain. “They still have paper and lines,” her mother said. “You don't need glitter (华丽) to make you smart.”
Keisha thought Alice's mother treated her like a grown up. Alice had a house key and said that she always let herself into her apartment. But when Keisha came home, she had to ring for her mother to open the door. And every time, her mother would give her a big bear hug. That's for babies, Keisha always thought, trying to free herself from her mother's arms.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One Tuesday at school when math tests were handed back, Keisha got her usual A.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Keisha (凯莎)认为Alice (艾丽斯)是完美的,而自己平平无奇,因此对老师说她们会成为朋友表示怀疑。星期二,Keisha在数学考试中照常得了A。Alice对Keisha有何评价?两人一起在餐厅学习数学,通过和Alice交谈,Keisha会改变原来的想法吗?
[精彩范文]
One Tuesday at school when math tests were handed back, Keisha got her usual A. Seconds later, Alice turned around and whispered, “I think you're the smartest girl in our grade.” “Thank you,” replied Keisha, surprised by the praise. “I'm not so good at math,” Alice admitted. “I've been afraid to ask, but ... can you help me?” “Sure,” Keisha said. “At lunch?” Alice asked. Keisha nodded.
Later, in the cafeteria, Keisha and Alice worked on math problems together. Alice discovered that Keisha was a math talent. “How do you do that?” Alice wondered. “I work with my mom,” Keisha explained. “I work on math problems by myself first, then my mom tests me.” “Oh,” said Alice, “my mom always works late and doesn't have time to help me. You are lucky to have such a great mom.” That day when Keisha got home from school, her mother met her at the door and gave her the usual bear hug. This time, Keisha didn't avoid her. She smiled.
