Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. 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 you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, 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 you’re 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 nice things, offer to help — and pretty soon, you’ll 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! 47. According to the writer, some kids feel lonely at break because they ________. A. have trouble with their studies B. don’t have their best friends around C. need their parents to be with them D. are too young to look after themselves 48. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to(指的是) _______. A. sharing your ideas B. talking before many people C. studying better at school D. developing new friendship 49. Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because _______. A. they miss their old friends a lot B. they have no time to stay with others C. teachers know who wants a new friend D. they are shy or not good at making friends 50. The expression “feeling left out” means “________” in Chinese. A. 受冷落 B. 被调侃 C. 挨批评 D. 遭攻击 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. D 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是当最好的朋友不在身边，面对孤独时，给孩子们的一些建议。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“...because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely some times.”可知，一些孩子感觉到孤独是因为他们最好的朋友不在身边。故选B。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. ”及上文内容可推知，this是指开展一段新的友谊。故选D。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. ”可知，一些孩子需要老师的帮助是因为他们害羞或者不擅长交朋友。故选D。 【50题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“...she was feeling left out at break because her best friend wasn’t around.

Spring means a season of flowers. Let’s pick 4 places for you to take your family to have a nice spring. 1.

When they are having a good time, they say that time goes easily. When a person is dying, they say he is living on a borrowed time. Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his free time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturday and Sunday he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running. They love time because time can bring them money and lots of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because they feel they have become servants (仆人) of the clock . 39.

Learn to be on time C Several weeks ago, more than 70 American students discussed with American First Lady Jill Biden at the White House about health problems. The students asked lots of questions that day and Mrs. Biden answered them one by one patiently. Then Mrs Biden explained the importance of making healthy choices (选择). The students were all eyes and ears as they listened. She told the students that she didn’t always feel good about the choices her family was making. Some years ago, when she was working and living with her family in Chicago, Mrs. Biden realized she had to make changes in her family’s lifestyle. “We were eating out too much, buying a lot of things, and drinking a lot of sugary drinks,” she said. So Mrs. Biden started talking to her kids about eating healthily and exercising more. Soon they were cooking more, eating fewer desserts, and spending less time watching TV. Mrs. Biden realized that making little changes can have a big effect (效果)。 Mrs. Biden said that young people should take care of their own health and their own futures. “Exercise isn’t always about sports. It’s just about moving,” she said. 43. More than 70 American students visited Mrs. Biden ________. A. to find out if she cared for children’s health B. to learn how to make health food C. to get her to help the children with health problems D. to have a discussion with her about health problems 44.

Which is right about Mrs Biden? A. She has failed to change her children’s lifestyle. B. She thought people in Chicago should change their lifestyles. C. She moved out from the White House several weeks ago. D. She thought we didn’t have to necessarily (必需地) do sports, but we should move more. 46. From the passage we know ________. A. the students are in poor health B. as a child, Mrs. Biden was poor in health C. Mrs. Biden ’s children have health problems D. Mrs. Biden cares for children’s health very much D A reader wrote into say that she was feeling left out at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. 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 you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, 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 you’re 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 nice things, offer to help — and pretty soon, you’ll 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! 47. According to the writer, some kids feel lonely at break because they ________. A. have trouble with their studies B. don’t have their best friends around C. need their parents to be with them D. are too young to look after themselves 48. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to(指的是) _______. A. sharing your ideas B. talking before many people C. studying better at school D. developing new friendship 49. Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because _______. A. they miss their old friends a lot B. they have no time to stay with others C. teachers know who wants a new friend D. they are shy or not good at making friends 50. The expression “feeling left out” means “________” in Chinese. A. 受冷落 B. 被调侃 C. 挨批评 D. 遭攻击 四．短文填空（共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从下面所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将字母标号写在 题后的横线上，有两项为多余选项。 Jack’s father died when he was six. Later on he lost his mother.
