Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·辽宁沈阳月考)I live in New York and my neighbours are people I don't know.My city, neighborhood and block are filled with people who don't know me, don't care to know me, and don't talk to me.I find that it's pretty hard to love people you don't even know.And sometimes, we all, myself included, use that as an excuse not to try.I read Brendan's story recently and was moved. One day, Brendan, a young man in New York was on the way back to his Brooklyn apartment when a homeless woman called Jackie turned up and asked him for money.He said that he had no money.By the end of the week, she asked two more times, and each time he answered “No”．The woman looked sad, so Brendan said, “I am on my way to a job interview.If I get the job, I'll take you out for lunch.” Brendan got the job.He took Jackie out for lunch.That was when their friendship began.They built a strong friendship by supporting each other and spending their birthdays, holidays and difficult times together over a period of eight years.They became the staunchest partners.When Brendan's heater broke, Jackie made a blanket for him.Two days later when he told her that he had lost his job, she left and returned minutes later, bringing him food to eat.She continued to do that during the whole winter. Over these years, Jackie moved from the streets and subway stations into a halfway house, and is now moving into an apartment.To celebrate it, Brendan wanted to do something special for Jackie.He went with her and helped her to pick out everything she would need for her new apartment. May Brendan's story prove that we can find a new way to honour, serve and love the people around us. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述Brendan和Jackie从陌生人到好朋友的过程，告诉我们应该勇敢地找到一种新的方式去尊重、服务和爱我们周围的人，而不是做冷漠的陌生人。 1．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A．He often stays indoors. B．He cares about his neighbours. C．He is good at making friends.

D．He gave her some spare change. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“He said that he had no money.By the end of the week, she asked two more times, and each time he answered ‘No’．”可知，Jackie向Brendan要钱时，他并没有给她。故选B。 答案　B 3．What happened after Brendan and Jackie had lunch together? A．They developed a new friendship. B．They helped each other to find work. C．They fell in love with each other.

The author and expert on friendship, Kate Leaver, said, “Young people are not confident when speaking to strangers not only because they're afraid of refusal, but also because they haven't been socially conditioned to it.Previous generations have a much stronger sense of community in public and shared spaces.We don't have as much access (接触的机会)to that because the way we form our modern lives means we are less in touch with our communities.Shared public spaces like parks and libraries—places where people might get close to a stranger—are being shut down.” Laura, 27, who enjoys the company of her old friends, hates meeting new people.Most of her friends are from university days.“I'm pretty chatty and open when I get to know someone, but during the first meeting, I'm very shy.I get very anxious about what to talk about and worry that people do not understand my sense of humour.” But not all young people feel the same way.Hayley always meets people in unusual ways and makes friends with them.“I became good friends with someone who I met on the plane，” she said.“It just shows how you can really connect when you're offline.” If you're comfortable with your present friendship situation, that's great.But, if you do want to enlarge your social circle, here are some tips.Avoid unpleasant silences by searching for people with common interests—join a book club or a local sports team.If it is too stressful, there are some friendship apps that you can use, or start a conversation with someone in a public place. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，现在的很多年轻人陷入了交友困境中。 5．What can we learn from the recent survey? A．Building friendships in university is necessary. B．Teens spend less time with friends than before. C．Making friends gets harder on social media. D.Young people build relationships with difficulty. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to a recent survey...in person.”可知，通过最近的调查可以得知，年轻一辈的人在建立关系时存在困难。 答案　D 6．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．A public space. B．A stranger. C．The sense of community. D．The social condition. 解析　代词指代题。根据第二段中的“Previous generations have a much stronger sense of community in public and shared spaces”以及“because the way we form our modern lives means we are less in touch with our communities”可知，前几代人在公共场合和共享空间里都有很强的团体归属感，但我们形成现代生活的方式意味着我们与团体的接触更少了。由此可推知，此处的 that指的是前文提到的sense of community. 答案　C 7．What problem does Laura have with socializing? A．She has no sense of humour. B．She fails to contact her old friends. C．She prefers to make new friends online. D．She is unwilling to get close to new people. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“hates meeting new people” “but during the first meeting, I'm very shy...humour.”可知，Laura在社交中的问题是：因为自己的焦虑而不愿意与刚认识的人亲近。 答案　D 8．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A．Learning some skills on apps. B．Choosing friends carefully. C．Joining groups with shared interests. D．Keeping strong ties with old friends. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“by searching for people with common interests—join a book club or a local sports team”可知，作者建议通过加入有共同兴趣爱好的群体来扩大社交圈。 答案　C Ⅱ.完形填空 People say I was born middle-aged.It sounds 1 ．I took on many family responsibilities at an early age, which meant 2 childish things long before my childhood was over.When you have adult 3 on your mind, it's hard to find time for play.
