Even twins may be quite different from each other, such as personalities, hobbies, friends and etc. To learn more about that, let’s hear from the following twins. ②Andy, an Extrovert I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I head to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value (重视)  his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems. ③Anna, an Introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on sofa by myself with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me, and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings. I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colorful. ④Well, there we have it from the horse’s mouth. From Andy and Anna, introverts and extroverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities. So start to make different friends and enjoy the special friendship! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 1．What does Andy do on Saturdays with Ken? A．Surf on the beach. B．Ride the bikes. C．Play the video games. D．Take a long walk. 2．Which of the following words can best describe Sue? A．Hard-working. B．Understanding. C．Good-looking. D．Outgoing. 3．The idiom “from the horse’s mouth” means “to hear from someone _________”. A．who saw it B．who experienced it C．who fed it D．who promised it 4．What may be the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Friends in need are friends indeed. B．Friends bring out the best in each other. C．Friends are not necessary to be the same. D．Friends reach for your hands and touch your hearts. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通过介绍两个性格迥异的双胞胎Andy和Anna的故事，展示了内向者和外向者之间的友谊以及他们对不同性格朋友的需求，从而说明了朋友之间不必完全相同，可以有不同的性格和兴趣爱好。 1．细节理解题。根据“Ken and I head to the beach on Saturdays to surf”可知，Andy和Ken在周六会去海边冲浪。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days”可知，Sue充满活力，她的笑话给作者平静的生活带来了很多欢乐，因此可以用outgoing“外向的”来形容她。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Well, there we have it from the horse’s mouth”可以推断出，该成语的意思是“从当事人那里听到的”，即“听到经历过这件事的人的说法”。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章的结构应该是“引言-两个例子-结论”。文章开头介绍了E-person和I-person这两种性格，并引出下文要讲述的两个双胞胎的例子；接着分别讲述了Andy和Anna的故事，展示了他们不同的性格和交友方式；最后得出结论，即内向者和外向者可以成为朋友，也需要有不同性格的朋友。因此，文章的结构应该是总分总。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据“From Andy and Anna, introverts and extroverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities-”可知，从Andy和Anna的例子中我们可以学到，内向者和外向者可以成为朋友，也需要有不同性格的朋友，即朋友不必完全相同。故选C。 八、阅读还原。 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯、意思完整。 People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in your good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. 6 Always honest Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. 7 It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories. Always there for you There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. 8 But the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign that he cares about you. Your friend is not a true friend if he can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to accept that your friend also has other things to do so he can’t always listen to your problems at once. Always respectful A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he or she agrees or not. 9 Always understanding It is possible that some problems will appear between two friends. A true friend will always be understanding and forgiving. 10 We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend never wants to take the risk of losing his or her best friend. A．Even if it isn’t his or her fault (过错). B．It may not be able to solve your problems. C．He or she may disagree but always be there with you. D．Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend. E．It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. 【答案】6．D 7．E 8．B 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了真正的朋友是什么样子的。 6．根据“You’ve made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are”可知，此处是指自己不知道真正的朋友是谁，选项D“以下是一些迹象，可以告诉你你的朋友是否是真正的朋友”符合语境。故选D。 7．根据“Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth”可知诚实很重要，选项E“有时候这可能很难，但撒谎会破坏友谊”符合语境。故选E。 8．根据“A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice...But the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign that he cares about you”可知一个真正的朋友总是有时间倾听你的问题并提出建议，虽然朋友的建议可能不能解决你的问题，但是你的朋友抽出时间倾听，这表明他关心你，选项B“它可能无法解决你的问题”符合语境。故选B。 9．根据“A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he or she agrees or not”可知一个真正的朋友会永远尊重你的意见，无论他或她是否同意，选项C“他或她可能不同意，但始终与你同在”符合语境。故选C。 10．根据“A true friend will always be understanding and forgiving”可知真正的朋友永远是理解和宽容，选项A“即使这不是他或她的错”符合语境。故选A。 九、完形填空。 Long long ago, a crow (乌鸦) lived in a forest. One day, he saw a swan (天鹅) and he thought, “That beautiful white 11 must be the happiest bird in the world.” When he came to 12 his idea with the swan, the swan said, “I felt that I was the happiest bird in the forest 13 I saw a beautiful peacock (孔雀). He has so many colourful feathers (羽毛). He is certainly more 14 than any other bird.” The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo, and saw that there were 15 two hundred people coming to see him. The peacock was 16 a programme for humans. “Dear Peacock,” the crow said, “you are so beautiful. Every day, hundreds of people come to see your 17 . Unlike you, people will 18 drive me away when they see me. I 19 that you are the happiest bird in the world.” The peacock said, “I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happiest bird. But because of my beauty, I lost my freedom (自由). I 20 go out of the zoo any more. You must be the happiest bird in the world because you are 21 .” The crow flew away 22 saying anything, being happy. Sometimes, we don’t need to compare with 23 else and feel bad about ourselves. It is better to be happy with what you have than to 24 for things you don’t have. The crow finally got the 25 meaning of happiness. 11．A．crow B．swan C．peacock D．snake 12．A．share B．shake C．match D．solve 13．A．if B．although C．till D．so 14．A．excellent B．beautiful C．enjoyable D．confident 15．A．probably B．suddenly C．finally D．especially 16．A．preparing for B．looking up C．asking for D．lifting up 17．A．peace B．research C．experience D．show 18．A．last B．never C．sometimes D．always 19．A．believe B．allow C．suggest D．appear 20．A．shouldn’t B．must C．can’t D．needn’t 21．A．free B．comfortable C．common D．correct 22．A．without B．with C．about D．onto 23．A．someone B．anyone C．something D．everything 24．A．solve B．wish C．promise D．pay 25．A．close B．common C．true D．usual 【答案】 11．B 12．A 13．C 14．B 15．A 16．A 17．D 18．D 19．A 20．C 21．A 22．A 23．B 24．B 25．C 【导语】本文讲述乌鸦羡慕天鹅、孔雀，最后发现它们也有烦恼，明白幸福的真谛是珍惜自己所拥有的，无需和他人比较。 11．句意：一天，它看见一只天鹅，心想：“那只美丽的白天鹅一定是世界上最幸福的鸟。” crow乌鸦；swan天鹅；peacock孔雀；snake蛇。根据前文“he saw a swan”，这里说的是天鹅，故选B。 12．句意：当它去和天鹅分享自己的想法时，天鹅说…… share分享；shake摇晃；match匹配；solve解决。考查短语share sth. with sb.“与某人分享某物”，此处指乌鸦和天鹅分享自己的想法，故选A。 13．句意：我觉得自己是森林里最快乐的鸟，直到我看到了一只美丽的孔雀。 if如果；although尽管；till直到；so所以。根据下文天鹅对孔雀的高度评价可知，直到看到孔雀，天鹅才改变了“自己是最快乐的鸟”的想法。故选C。 14．句意：他肯定比其他任何鸟更美丽。 excellent优秀的；beautiful美丽的；enjoyable令人愉快的；confident自信的。前文说孔雀羽毛美，所以这里说孔雀比任何鸟更美丽。故选B。 15．句意：然后乌鸦去动物园拜访孔雀，看到大概有两百人来看它。 probably大概；suddenly突然；finally最终；especially尤其。probably“大概；或许”，符合不确定具体人数，推测有两百人的语境，故选A。 16．句意：孔雀正在为人类准备一个节目。 preparing for为……做准备；looking up查阅，向上看；asking for请求；lifting up举起。根据“a programme for humans.”可知，孔雀在动物园为游客准备展示节目。故选A。 17．句意：每天数百人来看你的表演。 peace和平；research研究；experience经历；show展示，表演。结合常识可知，人们来动物园是看孔雀表演的。故选D。 18．句意：与你不同，人们看到我时总是会把我赶走。 last最后；never从不；sometimes有时；always总是。结合常识，人们认为乌鸦丑陋且不吉利，看到乌鸦总是会赶走它，故选D。 19．句意：我认为你是世界上最幸福的鸟。 believe相信，认为；allow允许；suggest建议；appear出现。此处是乌鸦在表达自己的想法，它认为孔雀幸福。故选A。 20．句意：我不能再走出动物园了。 shouldn’t不应该；must必须；can’t不能；needn’t不必。结合前文“But because of my beauty, I lost my freedom”可知，孔雀因为美丽，被关在动物园失去了自由，不能出去。故选C。 21．句意：你一定是世界上最幸福的鸟，因为你是自由的。 free自由的；comfortable舒适的；common普通的；correct正确的。前文说孔雀因为美丽失去自由，而乌鸦因为没有人类的喜爱反而获得自由，故选A。 22．句意：乌鸦没有说任何话，开心地飞走了。 without没有；with和；about关于；onto到……上。至此，乌鸦明白幸福的真谛后，没说话就愉快地飞走了。故选A。 23．句意：有时候，我们不需要和其他任何人比较，然后自我感觉不好。 someone某人，常用于肯定句；anyone任何人，常用于否定句；something某事；everything一切。结合下文“It is better to be happy with what you have”可知，我们要满意自己所拥有的，没必要和其他任何人比较，从而妄自菲薄。“compare with anyone else”表示“和其他任何人比较”符合语境。故选B。 24．句意：对自己所拥有的感到快乐，好过渴望自己没有的东西。 solve解决；wish盼望；promise承诺；pay支付。此处告诉我们的真理是珍惜自己拥有的，不要总是渴望自己没有且得不到的东西。故选B。 25．句意：乌鸦最终明白了幸福的真正含义。 close接近的；common普通的；true真正的；usual通常的。乌鸦从开始的不开心、羡慕他人，到最后收获了幸福快乐，是因为它明白了幸福的真正含义，故选C。 十、任务型阅读。 How to have good friends? Here are some tips for you. Choosing Friends Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things. Making Friends ●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face. ●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on. ● Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer? Where do you live? What do you do after school?” are all good questions. Having Activities Together It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring. Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above. 26．What kind of friends do most people want to have? 27．What is the quickest way to make friends? 28．How many ways of making friends are mentioned in the passage? 29．How can you make the friendship between you and your friend closer? 30．Why is friendship an important part in our life? 【答案】26．They want to have friends with the same interests. 27．The quickest way to make friends is to smile. 28．Three./3. 29．Inviting a friend to my house. 30．Because friends make us happy and support us through hard times. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何拥有好朋友。 26．根据“Most people like to have friends with the same interests.”可知，大多数人喜欢有相同兴趣的朋友。故填They want to have friends with the same interests. 27．根据“The quickest way to make friends is to smile.”可知，交朋友的最快方法是微笑。故填The quickest way to make friends is to smile. 28．根据“Making Friends”、“The quickest way to make friends is to smile.”、“One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice.”和“Ask your new friends questions about themselves.”可知，文章中提到了3种交朋友的方法。故填Three./3. 29．根据“inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer”可知，邀请朋友到家做客是拉近友谊的好方法。故填Inviting a friend to my house. 30．根据“Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times.”可知，友谊是我们生活中重要的一部分，因为朋友让我们快乐，支持我们度过困难时期。故填Because friends make us happy and support us through hard times. $$Unit 3 Same or Different? 课时4 Section B (1a—1e) 分层作业 核心知识速记 01基础达标 03拓展培优 02能力提升 04思维进阶 词汇 alike /əˈlaɪk/ adj. 相像的 adv. 相似地 mirror /ˈmɪrə(r)/ n. 镜子 interest /ˈɪntrəst/ n. 业余爱好；兴趣 novel /ˈnɒvl/ n. 小说 difference /ˈdɪfrəns/ n. 差异 sense /sens/ n. 理解 humour /ˈhjuːmə(r)/ (= humor)n. 幽默 straightforward /ˌstreɪt ˈfɔːwəd/adj. 坦率的；简单的 句型 —I am glad to have an honest friend. 我很高兴拥有一个诚实的朋友。 —He is not afraid to give his opinion. 他不怕发表自己的观点。 1、 单词默写 1. 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2. _________ /əˈlaɪk/ adj. 相像的 adv. 相似地 3. _________ /ˈmɪrə(r)/ n. 镜子 4. _________ /ˈɪntrəst/ n. 业余爱好；兴趣 5. _________ /ˈnɒvl/ n. 小说 6. _________ /ˈdɪfrəns/ n. 差异 7. _________ /sens/ n. 理解 8. _________ /ˈhjuːmə(r)/ ( = humor)n. 幽默 9. _________ /les/ adj. 较少的；更少的 adv. 较少地；更少地 pron. 较少；更少 10. _________ /ˌstreɪt ˈfɔːwəd/ adj. 坦率的；简单的 11. _________ /əˈpɪnjən/ n. 看法；意见 12. _________ /ˈɒnɪst/ adj. 坦诚的；诚实的 13. _________ /dəˈrekt, daɪˈrekt/ adj. 率直的；直接的 14. _________ /ˌsɪməˈlærəti/ n. 相似之处 15. _________ /ˈfrendʃɪp/ n. 友谊；友情 二、词组默写 1. 1．犯错误 2．与……相似 3．逛街 4．例如 5．归功于；由于；因为 6．与……分享…… 7．互相 8．有点儿 9．幽默感 10．害怕做某事 2 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 三、按要求完成句子 1．我认为一个好的朋友就像一面镜子。 I think a good friend . 2．你可以通过了解一个人的朋友来理解这个人。 You can people their friends. 3．因为那件事，我练习的时候会更努力。 that, I when I practice. 4．我认为我们应该互相尊重对方的差异并从对方身上学习。 I think we should respect and each other. 5．多亏了她，我变得越来越外向了。 her, I am . 四 、词汇知识梳理 1．difference可数名词，意为“差异”，形容词为 ，常用短语 “与……不同”。 2．alike形容词，意为“ ”，同义词为 ，不能用于名词前作定语；alike还可作副词，意为“相似地”。 3．interest名词，意为“业余爱好；兴趣”，常用短语：have/show/take (an) interest in sth.“ ”；interest还可作动词，意为“使感兴趣，使关注”，其形容词为 “感兴趣的”、 “有趣的”。 4．sense名词，意为“理解力；感觉”，如：She has humour.“她很有幽默感”；sense还可作动词，意为“感觉到；意识到”。 5．thanks to意为“ ”，后接名词或代词，thanks不可改为thank you。有时可与because of进行同义互换。 6．opinion名词，意为“ ”，常用短语：in one’s opinion“在某人看来”；give one’s opinion (on/about sth.)“（就……）提出看法/意见”。 7．make a mistake“犯错误”，表示在某方面犯错误，可在其后加介词 。 8．less副词，意为“较少地；更好地”，常用结构“less+形容词/副词 （+than）”表示降级比较，相当于“not as/so...as...”。 五 、单词拼写 1．Some dancers enjoy watching themselves in the m .

I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value (重视)  his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems. ③Anna, an Introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on sofa by myself with a great book in hand.

Here are some tips for you. Choosing Friends Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things. Making Friends ●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face. ●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on. ● Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer? Where do you live? What do you do after school?” are all good questions. Having Activities Together It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring. Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above. 26．What kind of friends do most people want to have? 27．What is the quickest way to make friends? 28．How many ways of making friends are mentioned in the passage? 29．How can you make the friendship between you and your friend closer? 30．Why is friendship an important part in our life? $$
