There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us”. But how do you find real friendship and keep it? Different people have different ideas. Some famous writers write many books which give us a lot of advice (建议), such as Sally Seaman, an American writer. She tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient (有耐心的). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. Second, to make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have scraps. What should you do when you have a scrap with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter. Tell your friend how you are feeling. Tell your friend what he or she has done wrong and explain why you do this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life. 1.

Tell your friend how you are feeling. Tell your friend what he or she has done wrong and explain why you do this or that.”可知，后文提到怎样化解朋友之间的矛盾，所以此处应表示朋友之间会争吵，会产生矛盾。结合选项可推知，scraps应该意为“吵架”。故选C。 4. 标题归纳题。根据第一段“But how do you find real friendship and keep it?”并通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了什么是真正的友谊以及如何找到和保持这种友谊。因此，选项D“对朋友的关心和维护”是最佳标题。故选D。 Passage 5 Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends.

After all these years, many people wanted to see the six meet on the screen again. And this wish came true two years ago. A new special Friends: The Reunion (重聚) came out on May 27, 2021. For sure, watching Friends will help you learn English. But you can learn more from it. One thing is how to build true friendships. As Rachel said: “Back in the 1990s, there were no smart phones.

For the six friends in Friends, the “good things” - the friendships between them don’t really end.”可知，《老友记》中向我们诠释了友谊并不会真的结束，由此可推断前一句是说友谊总有结束的那一天，也就是“天下没有不散的筵席”。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据“A new special Friends: The Reunion (重聚) came out on May 27, 2021.”可知，2021年又在屏幕上重聚了。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“If you want to have lifelong friends, don’t just talk with them online.

He eats from dog bowls, sleeps in the dog’s bed, and follows us around the backyard like a dog. Naturally, his best friend is our dog, Jeannie. We actually have four rabbits. Funnily enough, Jeannie loves to chase after wild rabbits if she sees one on a walk. But she never chases ours, and Chad has always been her favourite. When we let them out in the yard together, they each do their own thing at first, then Jeannie will come back and rest in the shade, and Chad will come, lie next to her and be greeted with a kiss. All four of our rabbits take part in a Read to Rabbits program at a nearby education center for children. Kids who usually don’t want to read can’t wait to sit down with the rabbits to read them a story. One boy with special needs who rarely speaks said his first full sentence to one of our rabbits. At the end of every school year, Jeannie joins in Read to Rabbits wearing her own pair of rabbit ears. On one occasion, their friendship had lifesaving effect. That afternoon, Chad was jumping around the grass in the backyard when my parents visited with their dog, Bradley. Since Chad’s best friend is a dog, he happily jumped over to 68-pound Bradley to say hello. But Bradley grabbed (咬住) 10-pound Chad by the face and shaking him. After seeing that, Jeannie rushed across the yard and chased Bradley away, but by the time we got to Chad, he was lying on the grass and badly hurt. Chad had a broken jaw and a low chance of survival. We treated him actively and fed him carefully for weeks, hoping he would get well soon. As long as we sat down with Chad to feed him, Jeannie would stand next to us and wag her tail. Weeks later, Chad did recover fully, with Jeannie by his side. She was always protective and so gentle. 1. Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Jeannie? A．Protective. B．Dangerous. C．Gentle. D．Friendly. 2. The Read to Rabbits program ________.

However, when teenagers start a friendship, they sometimes expect too much from it. Here are four things about friendship that some teenagers believe are true. But in fact they aren’t—they are myths. ✱ Friends share everything. No, they don’t! It takes time to build a good friendship. You don’t want to tell your friend everything about yourself on the first day of your friendship. You want to share some things. But it’s all right if there are other things you don’t want to share. Don’t feel bad about it. Anyway, everyone needs personal space. ✱ If you’ve got no friends, something’s wrong with you. No, it isn’t. There can be times when you’ve got only one or two friends. Maybe it is because you’re in a new city or school. When you don’t have many friends, it’s important to wait and be patient (耐心的). Make sure you’re friendly—so other people want to make friends with you!     ✱ The more friends you have, the better. Not always. To build a good friendship, it’s important to have fun together, to listen to your friends when they have problems, to help them when they need you, or just to watch a film together. And that takes time! So sometimes it’s better to have one or two friends, and not a lot of friends. ✱ ▲ It’s not a good idea to wait for your friends to make you happy. There may be times when they are too busy or tired to take care of your needs. So when you are sad, try to think “What can I do to stop this? How can I help myself?” 1. The passage is mainly written for _________. A．teachers B．students C．parents D．doctors 2. The underlined word “myths” in Paragraph 1 means “_________”. A．误解 B．想象 C．神话 D．计划 3. Which of the following can be the best to fill in “ ▲ ”? A．Friends know you the best. B．Friends always tell the truth. C．Friends have the same hobby. D．Friends always make you happy. 4. According to the writer, we need to _________. A．share everything with friends B．make as many friends as we can C．spend time together with friends D．expect lots of things from friendship 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. C 【导语】本文介绍了四个关于友谊的误区，并指出这些观点并不是正确的。 1. 推理判断题。根据“Everyone wants to have friends, and friendship (友谊) is important to teenagers all over the world.”可知，本文是关于青少年的友谊，因此是写给学生的。故选B。 2. 词义猜测题。根据“Here are four things about friendship that some teenagers believe are true. But in fact they aren’t—they are myths.”可知，以下是一些青少年认为是真的关于友谊的四件事。但事实上，它们不是——它们是误解。划线词与“真的”相对，应该是“误解”。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据“It’s not a good idea to wait for your friends to make you happy.”可知，此处介绍的是“朋友让我们快乐”这一误解，故选D。 4. 细节理解题。根据“To build a good friendship, it’s important to have fun together, to listen to your friends when they have problems, to help them when they need you, or just to watch a film together. And that takes time!”（为了建立良好的友谊，重要的是一起玩得开心，在朋友有问题时倾听他们的意见，在他们需要你时帮助他们，或者只是一起看电影。这需要时间！）可知，我们需要花费时间和朋友在一起。故选C。 Passage 13 In a school in England, a few years ago, a teenage girl heard a boy singing in another room. She liked it, and found out that the boy’s name was Jonathan. The girl—Charlotte—also liked singing. Later, the music teacher at school advised them to sing together. So they started singing together as a duo (二重唱). They also became very good friends. At that time, there was a show called Britain’s Got Talent—a show to find new singers and performers. Charlotte wanted to join the show with Jonathan, but he was worried about the way he looked. However, Charlotte made him believe at least they could have a try. Finally, they went on the show. At first, they were very nervous (紧张的). The four judges (评委) didn’t think they looked good. Some people even laughed at them. Then the two teenagers began to sing and everyone was surprised. They sang unbelievably well—especially (尤其) Jonathan. When they finished, all the people stood up and shouted, “Wonderful! Bravo!” to them. All the judges thought Charlotte and Jonathan were great, but one judge, Simon Cowell, advised Jonathan to sing on his own without Charlotte because, although she was good, he was fantastic. Jonathan didn’t think for long. He looked at his friend, and then looked back at the judges, and said that he wanted to stay in the competition with Charlotte. They carried on together, but they didn’t win the competition—they came second. (A dancing dog won!) However, they were still excited about the result. A few weeks later, Simon Cowell invited them to make a CD．They made it.

So they started singing together as a duo (二重唱).”可知，学校的音乐老师建议他们以二重唱形式一起唱歌。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据“but one judge, Simon Cowell, advised Jonathan to sing on his own without Charlotte because, although she was good, he was fantastic.”可推知，西蒙·考威尔建议乔纳森独唱是因为他认为乔纳森唱得更好。故选D。 3. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Charlotte wanted to join the show with Jonathan”，第三段“Then the two teenagers began to sing and everyone was surprised.”，第五段“he wanted to stay in the competition with Charlotte”及最后一段“A few weeks later, Simon Cowell invited them to make a CD.”可知，事情发生的正确顺序是b-d-c-a。故选C。 4. 最佳标题题。根据“When they thought about a name for it, they chose the word: ‘Together’.”及全文内容可知，文章介绍了夏洛特和乔纳森参加《英国达人秀》，他们总是在比赛中同进同退。故选A。 Passage 14 Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is simply acquaintances (熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “guest friends”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (害怕), and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong, and though they may not be perfect, they at least will always care about you, and hardly ever do anything bad to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1. If you and David are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”. A．pest friends B．guest friends C．best friends D．not friends 2. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．how to make a best friend                               B．how to learn from your best friends C．what a “best friend” is D．what a best friend can do for you 3. From the passage, we can learn that ________. A．pest friends are important than guest friends B．we miss our pest friends when we’re not with them C．a best friend hardly ever does something bad to you D．a “pest friend” will never become your best friend 4. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. B 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种不同的朋友的特点。 1. 细节理解题。根据“but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (害怕), and they don’t open up to you how they really feel.”可知，对于guest friends我们不会分享我们内心的感受。故选B。 2. 段落大意题。根据“The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest.”可知，本段主要介绍了什么是最好的朋友。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“they at least will always care about you, and hardly ever do anything bad to hurt you.”可知，最好的朋友几乎不会对你做一些不好的事情。故选C。 4. 文章结构题。根据“There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”.”首先引出主题：不同的三种朋友；第二、三和四段分别对三种朋友的特点进行了论述，最后一段进行总结，可知本文属于总分总结构。故选B。 Passage 15 Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isn’t just an expression. A study by Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1% of genes that match. “1% of genes may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a larger number,” Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution (进化) that brings you together. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have common likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In the old days, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who were easily influenced by the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to the same environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes (咖啡馆) more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance (提前) who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 1. From the passage, we know that friends _________. A．look like our cousins B．share 1% of genes with us C．feel close to our family D．can help us when we feel cold 2. The writer takes the example of people in the old days in Paragraph 4 to _________. A．study how people dealt with the cold in the old days B．predict that the same environments lead to friendship C．show that it is evolution that brings friends together D．explain why people gave each other chance to keep alive 3. The underlined word “alike” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”. A．kind B．similar C．smart D．different 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Friendship: Its Influence on People and Behavior. B．Friendship: Its Benefits to Teens and Decision Making. C．Friendship: Is It Necessary to Be Judged by Time? D．Friendship: Is It Possible to Be Influenced by Genes? 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了友谊与基因之间的关系，以及这种关系如何影响我们的社交行为和友谊的形成。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that friends have 1% of genes that match.”可知，朋友之间有1%的基因是相同的。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据第四段“In fact, it is evolution that brings you together.”和“For example, people who were easily influenced by the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive.”可知，同样怕冷的人在一起更有可能互相帮助生火，这也增加了他们生存的几率；据此可以推断，作者举古人的例子是为了证明，是进化把朋友聚集在了一起。故选C。 3. 词义猜测题。根据第四段“‘People who share certain genes also share skills and have common likes and dislikes,’ researchers said. In the old days, it was important that people who were alike stayed together.”可知，“alike”的人聚在一起很重要，因为他们有共同的技能和喜好；据此可以推断，划线单词“alike”的意思是“相似的”。故选B。 4. 最佳标题题。综合全文可知，文章主要探讨了友谊与基因之间的关系，介绍了耶鲁大学的研究发现朋友之间有更多的共同基因；选项D“友谊：是否可能受到基因的影响？”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 23 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$单元话题·梯度训练 专题J813阅读理解 单元话题中心 题型特训 Unit 1 Friendship 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 内 容 提 要 一、 初阶练手 Passage 1 – 10 二、 进阶提升 Passage 11 -15 Passage 1 The students are chatting about friendship on the Internet.

I never knew that you wrote so many letters to me. I thought your new life had made you forget me. Best wishes Thomas When Alan turned to the end of the letter and saw Thomas’s name on it, he couldn’t believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read the letter again.

Some famous writers write many books which give us a lot of advice (建议), such as Sally Seaman, an American writer. She tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient (有耐心的). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. Second, to make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have scraps. What should you do when you have a scrap with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter. Tell your friend how you are feeling. Tell your friend what he or she has done wrong and explain why you do this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life. 1.

Friends should always be ready to help each other. * Believe in each other. This is the most important thing in a friendship. * Even the best friends may have a quarrel sometimes. And you may say something to hurt each other. If this happens, don’t let your quarrel last too long, try to be friendly to your friends soon. Friendship is a kind of treasure (财富) in our life.

It tells the story of six young people. They come to New York City to find love, success and fun. Each of them is different, but they become friends. Friends was on from 1994 to 2004. After all these years, many people wanted to see the six meet on the screen again. And this wish came true two years ago. A new special Friends: The Reunion (重聚) came out on May 27, 2021. For sure, watching Friends will help you learn English. But you can learn more from it. One thing is how to build true friendships. As Rachel said: “Back in the 1990s, there were no smart phones. It was just friends sitting around and talking with each other.” If you want to have lifelong friends, don’t just talk with them online. Be sure to always be there for your friends. 1.

A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter. If you want to be friends again, you can tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that.

If people of the group are shy, never ask them “Why don’t you talk?” “Why are you quiet?” or “Why do you look shy?” They don’t like such questions. Next, remember that each group is different. They may use different words, like different things or have different ways of “hanging out”. Then, the important thing is that you should try to be outgoing. If you are outgoing, you would become very popular. Because many people like making friends with an outgoing person. Finally, find a right topic (话题) to talk with the group.

When the teacher wasn’t looking, Harry made faces at Ethan and some kids laughed. Ethan was in front of Harry in the line. Again Harry pushed Ethan in line, saying “Let me in front.” But Ethan just smiled at Harry and said “ ▲ ”. Harry’s face went red—he was very angry. Kids never said such a word directly (直接地) to him. But he could do nothing because the teacher was looking. Later, one day, when Ethan went to the classroom, Harry snatched (抢夺) his pencil. But Ethan just smiled and said, “You can have it. This is my sister’s. She likes pink but I don’t.” When the kids laughed, Harry’s face went red again. After lunchtime, Ethan went to play soccer and he could stop every ball very well. Ethan kicked the ball to Harry and asked him to stop it, but Harry couldn’t stop it and fell over in the mud (泥土). The kids laughed but Ethan didn’t.

Friends help us get through hard times. Friends also influence us a lot. Let’s enjoy two poems about friendship. ② To Wang Lun I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go. When suddenly onshore your farewell songs o’erflow. However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms (桃花) may be. It is not so deep, Wang Lun! As your love for me. ③ A Time to Talk (By Robert Frost) When a friend calls to me from the road, And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t standstill and look around. On all the hills I haven’t hoed (锄地), And shout from where I am, what is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I push my hoe in the ground, Blade (锄头)—end up and five feet tall, And I go up to the stonewall, For a friendly visit. ④ Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene (场景) of his friend seeing him off. US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison. His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends.

Naturally, his best friend is our dog, Jeannie. We actually have four rabbits. Funnily enough, Jeannie loves to chase after wild rabbits if she sees one on a walk. But she never chases ours, and Chad has always been her favourite. When we let them out in the yard together, they each do their own thing at first, then Jeannie will come back and rest in the shade, and Chad will come, lie next to her and be greeted with a kiss. All four of our rabbits take part in a Read to Rabbits program at a nearby education center for children. Kids who usually don’t want to read can’t wait to sit down with the rabbits to read them a story. One boy with special needs who rarely speaks said his first full sentence to one of our rabbits. At the end of every school year, Jeannie joins in Read to Rabbits wearing her own pair of rabbit ears. On one occasion, their friendship had lifesaving effect. That afternoon, Chad was jumping around the grass in the backyard when my parents visited with their dog, Bradley. Since Chad’s best friend is a dog, he happily jumped over to 68-pound Bradley to say hello. But Bradley grabbed (咬住) 10-pound Chad by the face and shaking him. After seeing that, Jeannie rushed across the yard and chased Bradley away, but by the time we got to Chad, he was lying on the grass and badly hurt. Chad had a broken jaw and a low chance of survival. We treated him actively and fed him carefully for weeks, hoping he would get well soon. As long as we sat down with Chad to feed him, Jeannie would stand next to us and wag her tail. Weeks later, Chad did recover fully, with Jeannie by his side. She was always protective and so gentle. 1. Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Jeannie? A．Protective. B．Dangerous. C．Gentle. D．Friendly. 2. The Read to Rabbits program ________.

However, when teenagers start a friendship, they sometimes expect too much from it. Here are four things about friendship that some teenagers believe are true. But in fact they aren’t—they are myths. ✱ Friends share everything. No, they don’t! It takes time to build a good friendship. You don’t want to tell your friend everything about yourself on the first day of your friendship. You want to share some things. But it’s all right if there are other things you don’t want to share. Don’t feel bad about it. Anyway, everyone needs personal space. ✱ If you’ve got no friends, something’s wrong with you. No, it isn’t. There can be times when you’ve got only one or two friends. Maybe it is because you’re in a new city or school. When you don’t have many friends, it’s important to wait and be patient (耐心的). Make sure you’re friendly—so other people want to make friends with you!     ✱ The more friends you have, the better. Not always. To build a good friendship, it’s important to have fun together, to listen to your friends when they have problems, to help them when they need you, or just to watch a film together. And that takes time! So sometimes it’s better to have one or two friends, and not a lot of friends. ✱ ▲ It’s not a good idea to wait for your friends to make you happy. There may be times when they are too busy or tired to take care of your needs. So when you are sad, try to think “What can I do to stop this? How can I help myself?” 1. The passage is mainly written for _________. A．teachers B．students C．parents D．doctors 2. The underlined word “myths” in Paragraph 1 means “_________”. A．误解 B．想象 C．神话 D．计划 3. Which of the following can be the best to fill in “ ▲ ”? A．Friends know you the best. B．Friends always tell the truth. C．Friends have the same hobby. D．Friends always make you happy. 4. According to the writer, we need to _________. A．share everything with friends B．make as many friends as we can C．spend time together with friends D．expect lots of things from friendship Passage 13 In a school in England, a few years ago, a teenage girl heard a boy singing in another room. She liked it, and found out that the boy’s name was Jonathan. The girl—Charlotte—also liked singing. Later, the music teacher at school advised them to sing together. So they started singing together as a duo (二重唱). They also became very good friends. At that time, there was a show called Britain’s Got Talent—a show to find new singers and performers. Charlotte wanted to join the show with Jonathan, but he was worried about the way he looked. However, Charlotte made him believe at least they could have a try. Finally, they went on the show. At first, they were very nervous (紧张的). The four judges (评委) didn’t think they looked good. Some people even laughed at them. Then the two teenagers began to sing and everyone was surprised. They sang unbelievably well—especially (尤其) Jonathan. When they finished, all the people stood up and shouted, “Wonderful! Bravo!” to them. All the judges thought Charlotte and Jonathan were great, but one judge, Simon Cowell, advised Jonathan to sing on his own without Charlotte because, although she was good, he was fantastic. Jonathan didn’t think for long. He looked at his friend, and then looked back at the judges, and said that he wanted to stay in the competition with Charlotte. They carried on together, but they didn’t win the competition—they came second. (A dancing dog won!) However, they were still excited about the result. A few weeks later, Simon Cowell invited them to make a CD．They made it.

A．Together B．A Terrible Show C．Ready to Go D．Britain’s Got Talent Passage 14 Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is simply acquaintances (熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “guest friends”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (害怕), and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong, and though they may not be perfect, they at least will always care about you, and hardly ever do anything bad to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1. If you and David are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”. A．pest friends B．guest friends C．best friends D．not friends 2. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．how to make a best friend                    B．how to learn from your best friends C．what a “best friend” is D．what a best friend can do for you 3. From the passage, we can learn that ________. A．pest friends are important than guest friends B．we miss our pest friends when we’re not with them C．a best friend hardly ever does something bad to you D．a “pest friend” will never become your best friend 4. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 15 Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isn’t just an expression. A study by Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1% of genes that match. “1% of genes may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a larger number,” Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution (进化) that brings you together. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have common likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In the old days, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who were easily influenced by the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to the same environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes (咖啡馆) more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance (提前) who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 1. From the passage, we know that friends _________. A．look like our cousins B．share 1% of genes with us C．feel close to our family D．can help us when we feel cold 2. The writer takes the example of people in the old days in Paragraph 4 to _________. A．study how people dealt with the cold in the old days B．predict that the same environments lead to friendship C．show that it is evolution that brings friends together D．explain why people gave each other chance to keep alive 3. The underlined word “alike” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”. A．kind B．similar C．smart D．different 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Friendship: Its Influence on People and Behavior. B．Friendship: Its Benefits to Teens and Decision Making. C．Friendship: Is It Necessary to Be Judged by Time? D．Friendship: Is It Possible to Be Influenced by Genes? 13 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
