Ⅰ.阅读理解
Facebook means never having to say goodbye.The social media website has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends.Last week,a guy whom I hadn't seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request.I accepted and waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind.He had sought me out,after all.
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son.However,I'm pretty sure we won't ever write walltowall,let alone email each other.But he'll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members,college buddies,coworkers from past and present,and friends of friends.There are 35 in all.If I spent some time uploading old email addresses,I'm confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends,former classmates,distant cousins,and those one would like to get to know better.And some people can even handle hundreds of onscreen relationships,keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions.After all,there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to email,the inability to schedule facetoface meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close.But even with email,people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back.That's normal.People move from school to school,job to job,city to city.You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
Every day,the masterminds of Web 2.0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However,convenience_can_be_a_crutch(拐杖). Some things shouldn't be simplified.When it comes to friendship,there can be no shortcuts.

[语篇解读] 本文讲述了如何去挽救处于崩溃边缘的友谊。
1.解析 考查形容词。most important“最重要的”,为最高级。
答案 important
2.解析 考查谓语动词。主语为A true friendship为单数,整个文章是现在时,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数。
答案 carries
3.解析 考查副词。空前It is a treasure we should protect.“友谊是宝藏”,空后the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have disagreements.“朋友关系越好,分歧越多”,所以空这边只能表示“不幸的”,放在句首,作状语,得用副词且首字母要大写。
答案 Unfortunately
4.解析 考查名词性从句。the result can be ________you don't want名词性从句缺动词want的宾语,用what。
答案 what
5.解析 考查被动语态。友谊能够被修复,can be mended.
答案 be mended
6.解析 考查名词。名词作句子的主语,谓语动词是are,所以用名词的复数形式。
答案 differences
7.解析 考查数词。用于列举,上下文分别出现了First,Third,and finally,缺了“第二”,首字母大写。
答案 Second
8.解析 考查所有格。根据短语from one's point of view可知这里用friend的所有格。
答案 friend's
9.解析 考查非谓语动词。动名词作主语,首字母大写。
答案 Making
10.解析 考查冠词。后面的a gift表明此处表示泛指, honor为单数且以元音音素开头,故填an。
答案 an

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a cold December day.After saying goodbye to his neighbor,David,Tom set out for a run with his dog,Taz.as a professional athlete,Tom often went for training runs by himself,and had done this particular route many times before,but that day something unusual happened to him.
About an hour later,Tom hit some black ice.He found himself slipping down the rock face,which became steeper (陡峭的) and steeper until suddenly he was in free fall.He fell 60 feet into the canyon (峡谷),landing on grass and dry branches.If he'd missed them,there was no way he would have survived.He could feel his legs,so he knew he wasn't paralyzed (瘫痪的),but he was in great pain.Taz had managed to find his way back to Tom,so Tom knew there must be a way out of the canyon,but he couldn't stand or even crawl (爬行).He later learned that he had broken his pelvis (骨盆).
Tom shouted for help,and tried to pull himself forward.Every inch was an effort.It took him five hours to go a quarter of a mile.Eventually it got so dark that he couldn't see where he was going.He decided to stay next to a river which he could drink some water from.All he had on him were his jogging clothes,a water bottle,two boxes of medicine,a bar of chocolate,and a shower cap which adventure racers often wear to prevent heat loss.
At night,the temperature dropped below freezing.Tom couldn't go to sleep or he would die,so he stayed awake lifting his head a few inches,over and over.Throughout the night,Taz curled up next to him and kept him company.The next morning,he couldn't move any more.He tried to stay positive.He was sure somebody would find he was missing or hear him screaming for help.But there was nobody around.
As time went by,Tom felt himself growing weaker and he knew he must take action,________________________________________________________________________

As time went by,Tom felt himself growing weaker and he knew he must take action,so he thought of David.He attached the shower cap to Taz and signaled the direction to his house to it and Taz went out of the canyon.Soon Taz went back to his house and knocked at David's door.Seeing the shower cap,David realized that Tom was in danger.He called the rescue workers and drove his car to the canyon with Ta z in it.
About three hours later,Taz returned and Tom heard an engine in the distance.He was glad that someone could help him.After a short while,David came with two rescue workers,and they carried Tom out of the canyon together.Luckily,Tom was not seriously injured.He pulled through after staying in bed for two weeks.He owed his survival to his devoted dog and caring neighbor.
