Ⅲ.阅读理解
In choosing a friend,one should be very careful.A good friend can help you study.You can have fun together and make each other happy.Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends.They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they will run away.How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities (品质) of character,especially understanding,honesty,and reliability (可靠).
Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend.A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling.He is not quick to judge.Instead,he tries to learn from others.He puts himself in the other person’s place,and he tries to think of ways to be helpful.He is also a good listener.
At the same time,however,a good friend is honest.He does not look for faults (过错) in others.He notices their good points.In short,a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability.I can always depend on a good friend.If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will be there.If I need a favor,he will do his best to help me.If I am in trouble,he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special.A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.We should enjoy our lives,and we would enjoy our friendship.That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with.A good friend likes the same things I like.We share experience and learn from each other.A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默),too.He likes to laugh with me.That is how we share in the joy of being friends.And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable,honest,and understanding,I know I’ve found a friend!
1.In the opinion of the writer,which of the following qualities is the most important in choosing a friend
A.A sense of humor. B.Honesty.
C.Reliability. D.Understanding.
【解析】 细节理解题。作者认为一个好朋友必须具备四个品质:理解、诚实、可靠和幽默,第二段第一句话“Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend.”中的above all else“最重要;首先”就点出了四个品质中理解最重要。

A.you will be refused when you get into trouble

【答案】 A
3.Good friends need to________.

1.He said that his car________stolen and he________have to telephone the police.
A.was;would B.has been;will
C.had been;would D.had been;will
【解析】 间接引语虽然是由and连接的两个并列的宾语从句,但时态却不一定一致,因为此句改为直接引语应为:He said,“My car was (has been) stolen and I will have to telephone the police.”车子被盗是过去,而给警察打电话是将来(马上,立即),所以变为间接引语应分别与所对应的时间一致。
【答案】 C

A.discovered B.found
C.had discovered D.had found

【答案】 A
5.After the examination,my teacher told me that failure________the mother of success.

I often think if I am as important to you as you are to me.
We had an unhappy time yesterday.I really felt sad after it and almost apologized (道歉) to you.However,you could still laugh and talk with others like nothing had happened.I suddenly realized that I was not that important to you.You didn’t even realize that I was angry and sad.What’s more,you even forgot my birthday this year.
Goodbye,my friend.I have closed my feeling toward you.It is sad to say goodbye,my friend.But it is meaningless (无意义的) for us to be friends any longer.
Lucy
Dear Lucy,
I’m sorry that I hurt you so much yesterday.But here is something I really need to tell you.I never thought the quarrel we had yesterday was as serious as you thought.I just felt tired and didn’t feel like going shopping.Susan and Lily are also my good friends.I couldn’t pretend (假装) not seeing them when they passed by.I also couldn’t let them know I was blue because of the quarrel.I didn’t want them to feel sad just because I was sad.I’m your best friend,but I don’t want to be your only friend.I don’t want to be with you all the time because sometimes I need to have my own time.I want to spend some time with my other friends and my brother.Please try to make more friends.You will feel much happier if you have more friends.And remember,I’m your best friend forever!
Jenny

【解析】 推理判断题。根据Jenny的信,我们可知Lucy仅仅因为Jenny不想陪她去购物就很伤心,还跟她吵架,后来看到Jenny跟别的朋友聊天,她就很气愤,最后又写信说要跟Jenny绝交,由此可推断Lucy不知道怎样保持一段健康的友谊。
【答案】 B
When Ray was about seven,he had a very close friend Mike.They lived near each other,traveled to and from school together,played together,were together in school,and spent time in each other’s homes.
Once,in school,Ray got bad marks and was very down.He just walked round and round the school playground.Mike followed Ray.Far enough not to stifle him,but near enough never to let Ray out of his sight.Ray was very angry at that time.He just wanted to be alone.At one point,he got so angry that he even shouted out,“Just leave me alone!”But Mike just silently walked on behind Ray,still never saying a word.
It was only after many years,almost two decades later,that Ray truly began to understand the lesson on friendship which had been shown to him that day.Ray and Mike had already separated by then,only seeing each other a couple of times every year.But Ray still remembered that thing with gratitude,a warm feeling in his heart and sometimes tears in his eyes.
Mike had taught him that true friendship does not only show up when one wants or needs it.A true friend will be around when he thinks you need him,regardless of whether you want it or not or whether you would admit it or not.He will be there even when you drive him away,as long as he feels his presence will help you.But he will not speak if you do not want him to,and he will give you the peace that you desire.
The true friend will do what Mike did,following a distance behind,giving you space and peace,but always nearby,casting (投) a silent eye on you to make sure that you do not do anything silly,making sure he is around if you need him,and being ready to pick you should you fall anytime,to wipe your tears should they flow.
Appreciate your true friends.And be a true friend to others.
