Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2024·四川绵阳南山中学入学考试)A recent story on social media showed how two neighbors found comfort and a new spirit in life, thanks to a shared love of the piano.
The story started when Lo Porto heard his neighbor playing the piano through their dividing wall.Lo Porto is an Italian living in London.He reached out to his neighbor and left a note, saying if he or she could play My Heart Will Go On.The mystery neighbor agreed, suggesting they play together.Over time the music between two complete strangers became a regular weekend engagement(约定).
A week later, the pair finally met and “it was better than expected,” shared Lo Porto.The mystery pianist happened to be a 78-year-old Polish man named Emil.“He lost his wife in December due to the epidemic and all he has been left is the piano.And he plays at 2 p.m.every weekend because his wife loved it,” shared Lo Porto.
While Emil didn't want to appear on any of the videos, he did share his thankfulness to Lo Porto for keeping him motivated during a most emotional and lonely time.When the pair offered each other company, Emil also inspired Lo Porto to continue writing his own song.And Emil felt happier after playing music with Lo Porto and was thankful to those who watched their performance.
The story shows the unbelievable influence two complete strangers can have on each other.Emil moved out at the end of February.Lo Porto wrote, “Dear Emil, you changed my life.You gave me back my passion, and we shared that with the world.You'll be in my heart forever.I'll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be.You said I was your light, but you've been mine too.Bye, Emil.”

(2024·天津市南开中学期中)It is often said that you can't have too many friends.But it seems that there is a natural limit to the number of people we stay in touch with.It has been proved that when we make new friends, by starting a new job or going to university, we tend to downgrade or even drop old ones.And while the friends may change, the number stays almost the same.
Oxford University researcher Felix Reed-Tsochas asked 24 students in the final months of school to list all their friends and relatives and say how close to them they were.The pupils filled in the questionnaire(问卷) twice more after starting work or going to university.They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long.
Putting the two pieces of information together showed, unsurprisingly, that most people have a small circle of close friends, who they spend most of their time talking to.This inner circle is surrounded by group after group of ever more distant friends.As the volunteers' lives changed, this overall pattern, including the number of best friends, remained almost the same, meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built.
Dr Reed-Tsochas said,“Maybe my best friend is no longer the same person but the amount of time I allocate(分配) to my best friend is still the same.” He added that this finding suggests that even with the coming of modern technology we are only capable of forming a limited number of true friendships.
University of Chester researcher Dr Sam Roberts said,“Our results are likely to reflect limitations of the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现当我们结交新朋友时,我们会跟一些老朋友失去联系。尽管朋友会变,但是我们结识的朋友数目几乎保持不变。

B.We should treat friends as our family.
C.The more friends we make, the better.
D.A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.

6.Which is the method Dr Reed-Tsochas used in his study?
A.Checking the volunteers' call records.
B.Learning about the volunteers' hobbies.

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long.(他们还获得了免费的手机,并同意研究人员可以使用他们的账单来弄清他们打电话的对象、时间和时长。)”可知,研究的方法之一是核实志愿者的通话记录。故选A。

A.One's attitude to friendship remains the same.
B.People attach great importance to friendships.
C.People rarely drop their old friends to make new ones.

Ⅱ.完形填空
Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before 1 ?My friend Stella is such an example.Every time we went to a restaurant,she would not take a bite until all the dishes we 2 were on the table.Then she would spend five minutes in 3 the dishes in a seemingly casual but in fact 4 order.Next is the most important part:taking pictures.After that,she would choose one of the 5 and click on the BeautyCam (美颜相机).The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was,but we had no 6 to really enjoy it—it all went cold.
Actually Stella's real life is much less elegant (优雅的).For example,she hates to wash the dishes,so she leaves them in the sink for days.Many people care too much about others' opinions and try too hard to 7 others.They find it difficult to be 8 and to accept their true self,and thus they are afraid to show their 9 life on social media.What they are trying to prove is 10 what they lack in reality.But this will not bring any 11 to reality,as they still 12 the same old pattern of life.
If they really want an elegant life,they should put more effort into achieving it 13 faking it.Being more confident, 14 themselves and trying their best to be better are much more meaningful than 15 their life on social media.
