三、閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳選項。

A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at recess because her best friend wasnt around. Heres our advice to her — and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

Its hard when a best friend isnt around — maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class, or maybe shes just home sick for the day. Recess or lunchtime can feel lonely without her. Will it ever feel the same? You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there's always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids youd like to play with at recess. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or give a compliment(稱贊). Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When youre at recess, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if youre feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say positive things, offer to help — and pretty soon, youll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn't have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!

21. What does the underlined phrase “at recess” in the first paragraph mean?

A. At breakfastB. At break

C. At night D. At school

22 The reader wrote to the writer because ____________ .

A. her best friend is ill in bed

B. she doesnt have any good friend

C. her best friend is not with her now

D. her best friend has moved to a different school

23. The writer gives the following advice on making new friends EXCEPT __________ .

A. ask parents for help

B. asking teachers for help

C. finding new friends in the classroom

D. making new friends during meal time

24. After you make new friends, _________ .

A. you will forget about your best friend

B. You will no longer miss your best friend

C. You may make your best friend angry

D. You can introduce them to your best friend

25. The writer of the passage is probably __________ .

A. a teacherB. a parent

C. an editor D. a classmate

One man met Socrates(蘇格拉底) and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”. “Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything Id like you to pass a little test. Its called the Triple(三重) Filter(過濾) Test.”Socrates continued, “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what youre going to say. Thats why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” “No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and...”. “All right,” said Socrates. “So you don't know if its true or not. Now lets try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” .“No, on the contrary...”. “So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but youre not certain its true. You may still pass the test though, because theres one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?”“No, not really.” “Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”?

答案與解析

一、完形填空

靦腆的Whitney沒有朋友,在大學的作文課上,她勇敢地說出自己的目標是交一個真正的好朋友,一名男生走上來與她握手,友誼開始了。

1. C。 “她并不想廣受歡迎,但的確希望有一個可以分享秘密和歡笑的人”,所以選C。而lonely與句中but語氣不符,所以排除B。

2. B。由下句“had no idea”可知,她對上大學感到“緊張,不安”。

3. A。縱觀全文,Whitney上大學后終于交到了一個好朋友,所以是“改變了她的一生”。

4. D。因下句提到“She told everyone”以及“student share in such...”,用share比say更合文意。

5. A。在這種“情形”下。

6. C。取得好成績,為“get a good grade”。

7. D。由上下文可知,Whitney的目標與大多數同學的目標“完全”不同,所以選D。

8. B。“自我介紹”,為introduce oneself。

9. D。根據語境,整個教室“靜悄悄”的,全班同學目光集中在Whitney身上。

10. C。友誼開始了。

二、語法填空

很久以前,鳥類和獸類發生戰爭,蝙蝠投機取巧,總想站在勝利者一邊。戰爭結束后,鳥類和獸類都不把蝙蝠當作朋友,所以它只好晚上出來活動了。

11. whose/which。引導賓語從句。句意:蝙蝠不知道他應該站在哪一方。

12. winners。名詞,意思是“勝利者”。

13. would win。表示“將會贏”,因主句謂語動詞thought為一般過去時,從句用過去將來時。

14. When。引導時間狀語從句,“當……的時候”。

15. covered。過去分詞作定語,修飾名詞body。因是“被覆蓋”,用過去分詞表被動,相當于定語從句“which is covered”。

16. with。介詞,意為“帶有、具有”。

17. a。表示“又一,再一次”,序數詞前用不定冠詞。

18. they。指代the beasts and the birds。

19. Neither 。表示“兩者都不”,為neither…nor…。

20. at。表示“在晚上”,為at night或in the night,此處沒有定冠詞,所以用at而不用in。

三、閱讀理解

讀者來信說,好友不在身邊時感到孤獨,作者建議結交新朋友。

21. B。詞義猜測題。文章前三段出現四次“Recess”,綜合各語境,可知“at recess”意為“休息時間”,與“at break”同義。

22. C。細節理解題。由第一段“because her best friend wasnt around”可知。其余三項只是作者對好友不在身邊的原因進行猜測。

23. A。細節理解題。在第三段中可以找到C、D兩項的內容;第四段可以找到B項內容。A項文中未提及,故選A。

24. D。細節理解題。由最后一段第一句可知。

25. C。推理判斷題。根據第一段“A reader”可知,作者為“編輯(editor)”。

四、基礎寫作(One possible version)

Dear Peter,

I am writing to ask whether you are able to introduce a pen friend to me.

I hope my pen friend is a girl one or two years older than me, so she can instruct/help me in my studies and life. In my mind, she is someone who is interested in collecting stamps, traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. With such a pen friend, I can share with her our experience in hobbies. Besides, it would be better if she has time to spend several hours on the Internet every week so that I can improve both my written and spoken English by writing her emails and chatting with her online.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Li Hua

五、讀寫任務(One possible version)

One man wanted to talk to Socrates about his friends, so Socrates tested it with “the Triple Filter”. When he found what the man wanted to say was neither true nor good nor useful, he wouldnt listen to him.

From the story we know that some people like gossiping. Some gossip just for fun, while others do it on purpose in order to hurt the people they dislike.

If I happen to hear a rumor about my friend, I will not repeat it - and even not listen to it; instead, Ill tell people to stop gossiping. If they dont listen to me, Ill stay away from them.

If I know someone is gossiping about me, Ill try to tell them the truth and ask them not to say that again. If they still dont listen to me, Ill ignore them, or, if I feel too upset to calm myself down, Ill try to talk to a close friend, parent, or teacher who can help me feel better.
