Passage 4阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 Friendship is important for our health, but recent studies show some surprising fact. According to The American Friendship Project (2024), while over 75% of people are happy with the number of friends they have, more than 40% feel they aren’t as close to their friends as they would like to be. 1 There are a few reasons. One reason is the fear of being judged (评判). In today’s world, we may feel nervous about being fully honest or open with friends. 2 With so much going on we don’t have as many chances to spend relaxing time together in person. For some, making a phone call or meeting in person can feel uncomfortable. Even though almost all Americans have at least one friend, loneliness is still on the rise. What can we do to fight loneliness and build stronger connections with our friends? Here is some advice. ➽ 3 While social media are helpful, face-to-face conversations are better for building stronger relationships. If meeting in person is hard, try making phone calls to stay in touch. ➽ 4 To make in-person chats easier, write down topics (话题) or interesting stories you want to share. This can help avoid the awkward (尴尬的) moments when you’re not sure what to talk about. ➽ make a call list. 5 This helps you remember to reach out and stay in touch with the people who matter to you. In conclusion, while busy lives and technology can make it harder to maintain (维持) close friendships, trying to connect in person can help reduce (减少) loneliness and make us closer. A．Keep a list of conversation topics, B．Focus on face-to-face conversations. C．Why don't we feel closer to our friends? D．Keep a list of friends you want to talk with. E．Another reason is that life today is faster and busier. Passage 5 阅读下面的语篇材料，根据所读内容，完成下列各题。 Amy is my best friend. She’s 15 years old. She’s both my neighbour (邻居) and my best friend.

Tom had a wonderful buddy who wasn’t just a home pet but his very best friend-a golden retriever (寻回犬) called Max. They first met at an animal center when Tom was seven and have been together since then. Every morning, Tom and Max-went on exciting adventures. They would walk through the woods, run after butterflies, and even help Mrs. Thompson with her garden. Max had a super sense of smell, which made it easy for them to play treasure hunts and find hidden treasures around the neighborhood. Tom always proudly told his friends about Max’s cleverness and how loyal (忠诚) he was. One day, while walking the forest, Tom slipped on a wet rock and hurt his leg. He was worried and called for help, but the trees weakened his cries. However, Max stayed right next to him and gently pulled him to a clearer area where it was easier to see. With Max showing the way, Tom slowly moved back home with difficulty. After that accident (事故), Tom stayed home from school for a week to rest and heal. During this time, Max was always with him, bringing him books, getting water, and making him feel better. Their friendship became even stronger, and Tom’s parents were very moved by how loyal Max was. As Tom grew up, he and Max were still the best friends. They went to dog shows together, where Max won awards, and watched beautiful sunsets from their favorite hill. From Max, Tom learned important life lessons about being loyal, brave, and loving someone without wanting anything back. Even now, Tom often thinks back with joy to those wonderful times with Max and is forever thankful for the great changes his furry friend made to his life. 1．What does the underlined word “slipped” mean in paragraph 3?

According to The American Friendship Project (2024), while over 75% of people are happy with the number of friends they have, more than 40% feel they aren’t as close to their friends as they would like to be. 1 There are a few reasons. One reason is the fear of being judged (评判). In today’s world, we may feel nervous about being fully honest or open with friends. 2 With so much going on we don’t have as many chances to spend relaxing time together in person. For some, making a phone call or meeting in person can feel uncomfortable. Even though almost all Americans have at least one friend, loneliness is still on the rise. What can we do to fight loneliness and build stronger connections with our friends? Here is some advice. ➽ 3 While social media are helpful, face-to-face conversations are better for building stronger relationships. If meeting in person is hard, try making phone calls to stay in touch. ➽ 4 To make in-person chats easier, write down topics (话题) or interesting stories you want to share. This can help avoid the awkward (尴尬的) moments when you’re not sure what to talk about. ➽ make a call list. 5 This helps you remember to reach out and stay in touch with the people who matter to you. In conclusion, while busy lives and technology can make it harder to maintain (维持) close friendships, trying to connect in person can help reduce (减少) loneliness and make us closer.
