02 Period Ⅱ Grammar and usage & Integrated skills Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 [山西省实验中学2024高一期中] Having friends is obviously good for countless reasons. And showing the world that you have lots of friends, for example on social media, seems like a great idea. If that is the truth, your goal is to enlarge your social network. Once people see how popular you are, they’ll want to join that popular circle, perhaps in the hope that some of your popularity will rub off on them. Thus, they may enlarge their friend circle. However, can a person even have too many friends at the same time? It’s always been a misunderstanding that if you have more friends, people will be more likely to want to be friends with you. In fact, a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that having too many friends may work against you. In a series of experiments, the authors prove that people usually prefer to befriend people who have fewer friends than they do, not more. The authors call this phenomenon （现象） the “friend-number paradox （悖论）”, which is also the title of their new paper. 刷阅读理解 2 Social ties are obviously important. Having more of these connections suggests greater social value, and more potential possibilities. So it seems reasonable to assume that people will focus their social energies on making friends with people who have lots of friends already. But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there’s reciprocity （互惠） involved. Friendship goes hand in hand with certain responsibilities and expectations. And people with lots of friends may not be able to carry out those responsibilities—especially those with too many friends. In other words, “friendship quality” matters as much, if not more, than only the number of friends you have. Having lots of friends means your valuable social resources become diluted （削弱）, making you less able to be a good friend. And other people will consider the fact when deciding whether to make friends with you. They don’t want to spend their valuable social resources on someone who is unlikely to pay them back. 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，拥有太多的朋友不一定就越好，友谊的质量更重要。 1.What do the underlined words “rub off on” in paragraph 1 mean?( ) C A.Look forward to. B.Hold on to. C.Have an impact on. D.Take control of. 解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知，如果真的是朋友越多越好，那么当人们看到你受欢迎时，就会想加入你的社交圈；根据画线部分所在句下一句中的Thus可知，前后为因果关系，他们加入你的社交圈，希望会给他们带来积极的影响，这样一来他们也可以扩大自己的社交圈。结合语境可知，此处表示产生某种影响，与C项意义相近。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 4 2.What does the “friend-number paradox” show?( ) D A.The secrets to becoming popular. B.The ways of winning more friends. C.The advantages of having many friends. D.The problems with having many friends. 解析 细节理解题。根据题干中的“friend-number paradox”可以定位至文章的第三段，本段介绍了一项新研究的内容，该研究通过一系列实验证明了人们通常更喜欢和朋友比自己少的人交朋友，而不是和朋友比自己多的人交朋友。这种现象就是“朋友数量悖论”，由此可知，“朋友数量悖论”说明了有很多朋友的问题。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 5 3.What does the author think of people with lots of friends?( ) B A.They don’t know about reciprocity. B.They may fail to perform their duties. C.They are more likely to be good friends. D.They have more valuable social resources. 解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Friendship goes hand in hand with certain responsibilities and expectations.And people with lots of friends may not be able to carry out those responsibilities—especially those with too many friends.可知，作者认为友谊往往伴随着一定的责任和期望，而有很多朋友的人可能无法履行这些责任。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 6 4.What would be the best title for the text?( ) B A.How Do People Choose Their Friends? B.More Friends Are Not Necessarily Better C.Why Do People Like Having More Friends? D.People With More Friends Are More Popular 解析 主旨大意题。通读全文并结合文章第二段内容可知，本文介绍了一直以来人们对朋友数量存在一个误区，并通过介绍一项新的研究说明了拥有太多的朋友不一定就越好，友谊的质量更重要。故B项（朋友不一定越多越好）能够概括本文的内容，最适合做本文的标题。 刷阅读理解 7 &6& 核心词汇 1.prefer v. 更喜欢 2.tie n. ［常用复数］联系；关联 vt. 捆；系；扎 3.potential adj. 潜在的；可能的 n. 潜力；可能性 4.go hand in hand 密切相关 刷阅读理解 8 [福建三明2024高一期末] I had always felt like I didn’t fit in at school.
