Of the two math problems, I can just work out _________ one. A. the less difficult B. more difficult C. the more difficult D. less difficult 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：两道数学题中，我只能算出比较简单的那道。 考查形容词比较级。the less difficult表示特指，没那么困难的，比较简单的；more difficult更困难的；the more difficult表示特指，更困难的；less difficult没那么困难的，比较简单的。句中one是代词，指代两道数学题中的一个，此处表示特指，所以应使用定冠词the，所以排除B和D；根据句中“can just work out”可知，此处使用the less difficult，表示“我只能算出比较简单的那道”。故选A。 7.

When I talk about the person who influenced me most, I must think of my best friend quickly. When I was a primary student, I used to be shy and lonely. One of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Johnson. He is an unforgettable friend for me. He is good at studying and he is handsome. Everyone knows that he is a talent of our school. He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn’t like others to praise him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Johnson sets a good example in many parts in my life. My math used to be just so-so at that time, but he was excellent in solving math questions. He often got high scores. Of course, I wished I could reach his level. Though we talked all day long, he was patient and polite to answer my questions. Slowly, I made great pro gress in Math. I passed the exam finally. Then we became best friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study. We all need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may make us fail in life, while good ones make our life successful. To me, Johnson is a very good friend. I learnt so much from him, and I became better and better. He left our school three months ago. Now I miss him very much, and I hope that our friendship will continue to be just strong after we graduate. 48. What does the writer think of an excellent friend?
