The first time I saw Kai, she was sitting in my front yard, hugging my dog Harley. She and her husband Sean had just moved into a small house down the road from us. I thought she liked Harley’s friendly personality, just as he liked hers. From the second I talked to her, I knew Kai would be a lifelong friend.

Children and adults visited her home often. Although she already had four cats, she also took home a stray (流浪的) dog. When we visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our problems and then say something so wise that we would leave her home with our hearts singing. Sometimes I would read her my stories and she would always encourage me to keep writing. All of this time, though, Kai was slowly dying from cancer (癌症). She told me the first time we talked that she was terminal (晚期). But she lived each day with such cheer that I often forgot just how ill she was.

That’s what happened between me and my French pen friend Michèle. We began writing to each other as teenagers, but 36 years passed before we met face-to-face. I started looking for pen friends because I was the only child in my family and I felt lonely. I still remember when my father brought me an envelope containing (包含) Michele’s first letter and photo. Over the years, we exchanged family pictures, gifts, and souvenirs. In 1972, I married Alan, a decorator. Michèle sent me a golden necklace as a wedding gift. When my children Lindsey, Duncan and Robert were born, she sent presents every Christmas. In November  1998, while wrapping Michèle’s Christmas present, Lindsey suggested, “Why don’t you visit her?” A few weeks later, I wrote to Michèle proposing a visit. The next year, I flew to France. At the airport, after waiting anxiously, a blonde woman called out, “Barbara?” I responded, “Michèle?” We hugged tightly and spent a wonderful week together. I considered staying longer, but Alan called to say Robert was ill, so I returned home. Two years later, Michèle wrote that she was planning to visit Britain.

A friend of mine, Stephen, has started training for one, but the idea of completing 26 miles surprises me a lot because it puts a lot of stress on the body. First, Stephen went to his doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart disease. When he was told he was fit enough to do it, my friend started running every afternoon. He keeps training and makes progress every day. All this training is helping him a lot. Experts advised him to warm up just before the race because he might get hurt during the race. The biggest problem during the marathon seems to be the water. Experts say that on a hot and humid (湿热的) day we can lose too much water. Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot. It means they’ll feel very tired because marathon running can lead to a problem in blood pressure. Judy O’Sullivan, a nurse at the British Heart Foundation, advises, “it’s important that you train in a right way. Make sure that you join the event step by step and safely. On the day of your event, remember to warm up, and rest if you feel pain or uncomfortable.” According to experts, a month before the race, a marathon runner should be able to go for 15 miles without feeling too much pressure. Well, Stephen is close to achieving this. I’m proud of my friend’s effort, but I miss our afternoons drinking beer, eating food and watching football. Stephen said running a marathon is all his dream. He said if he doesn’t make it this time, he will keep trying. Good on him! Go Stephen! Go! 1．How did the writer feel after hearing the news? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Interested. D．Excited. 2．What’s the right order of Stephen’s preparations for the marathon? ①Training ②Warming up ③Visiting doctors ④Running A．①②③④ B．①③②④ C．③②①④ D．③①②④ 3．The experts say _________ is the biggest problem when running a marathon. A．losing too much water B．joining the event hurriedly C．having heart disease D．completing 26 miles 4．What does the underlined word “suffer” mean? A．Being hot. B．Being painful. C．Being hungry. D．Being stressed. 5．Why is the writer proud of Stephen’s effort? A．Because he does things step by step. B．Because he has dreams and never gives up. C．Because he shares happiness with friends. D．Because he completes a marathon after training hard. ①“Class, this is John Evans,” Mrs. Parmele introduced him to us, trying to give him a warm welcome. We saw a boy in old clothes. John looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would smile back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway. I held my breath as Mrs. Parmele looked around the classroom, hoping she wouldn’t notice the empty desk next to mine. She did, and pointed him at that desk. He looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away. ②By the end of his first week, John was at the bottom of our class. I told my mother one evening at dinner, “He even doesn’t know how to count.” However, as I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, I realized that it was pleasant to be with him. After lunch, I decided that I would be John’s friend. ③One night, as Mother came into my bedroom, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is John’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody cares.” “Don’t worry,” Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be fine. ” ④I wished John a happy birthday in the morning, and his smile showed me that he was glad I had remembered. By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that important. Then, as Mrs. Parmele was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar (熟悉的) voice singing the birthday song. I looked up and saw Mother coming through the door with a tray (托盘) of cupcakes and a present in her hand. Mrs. Parmele also joined in. Mother found John looking like a rabbit in car headlights. She put the cupcakes and the gift on John’s desk and said, “Happy birthday, John.” John stood there with his mouth open, unable to believe what was happening. While John happily shared his cupcakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk, I caught Mother watching me and she smiled. ⑤John Evans moved away soon, and I never heard from him again. But I always remember the happiness in a boy’s eyes, and the taste of the sweetest cupcake. 1．Why did the writer hold his breath after Mrs. Parmele introduced John? A．Because he didn’t want John to sit next to him. B．Because he hoped to make friends with John. C．Because he refused to help John with his schoolwork. D．Because he wanted to know why John kept on smiling. 2．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that __________. A．John had forgotten his own birthday B．the writer felt birthdays not important at all C．Mom wanted John to feel loved and cared about D．John’s classmates held a big birthday party for him 3．When John was “like a rabbit in car headlights”, he probably felt __________.

D．How a good teacher influenced her students. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Friendship 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 1 Friendship单元话题：朋友与友谊 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 Two friends, Jason and Harry, lived happily on neighbouring farms.

In November  1998, while wrapping Michèle’s Christmas present, Lindsey suggested, “Why don’t you visit her?” A few weeks later, I wrote to Michèle proposing a visit. The next year, I flew to France. At the airport, after waiting anxiously, a blonde woman called out, “Barbara?” I responded, “Michèle?” We hugged tightly and spent a wonderful week together. I considered staying longer, but Alan called to say Robert was ill, so I returned home. Two years later, Michèle wrote that she was planning to visit Britain. Alan and I went to the airport but waited in vain. Concerned, Alan called Michele’s home. Her husband told us she had died in an accident hours before her flight.

A friend of mine, Stephen, has started training for one, but the idea of completing 26 miles surprises me a lot because it puts a lot of stress on the body. First, Stephen went to his doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart disease. When he was told he was fit enough to do it, my friend started running every afternoon. He keeps training and makes progress every day. All this training is helping him a lot. Experts advised him to warm up just before the race because he might get hurt during the race. The biggest problem during the marathon seems to be the water. Experts say that on a hot and humid (湿热的) day we can lose too much water. Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot. It means they’ll feel very tired because marathon running can lead to a problem in blood pressure. Judy O’Sullivan, a nurse at the British Heart Foundation, advises, “it’s important that you train in a right way. Make sure that you join the event step by step and safely. On the day of your event, remember to warm up, and rest if you feel pain or uncomfortable.” According to experts, a month before the race, a marathon runner should be able to go for 15 miles without feeling too much pressure. Well, Stephen is close to achieving this. I’m proud of my friend’s effort, but I miss our afternoons drinking beer, eating food and watching football. Stephen said running a marathon is all his dream. He said if he doesn’t make it this time, he will keep trying. Good on him! Go Stephen! Go! 1．How did the writer feel after hearing the news? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Interested. D．Excited. 2．What’s the right order of Stephen’s preparations for the marathon? ①Training ②Warming up ③Visiting doctors ④Running A．①②③④ B．①③②④ C．③②①④ D．③①②④ 3．The experts say _________ is the biggest problem when running a marathon. A．losing too much water B．joining the event hurriedly C．having heart disease D．completing 26 miles 4．What does the underlined word “suffer” mean? A．Being hot. B．Being painful. C．Being hungry. D．Being stressed. 5．Why is the writer proud of Stephen’s effort? A．Because he does things step by step. B．Because he has dreams and never gives up. C．Because he shares happiness with friends. D．Because he completes a marathon after training hard. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的朋友Stephen为了参加马拉松比赛，在身体和精神上做准备的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A friend of mine, Stephen, has started training for one, but the idea of completing 26 miles surprises me a lot because it puts a lot of stress on the body.”可知，作者听到朋友Stephen要参加马拉松训练的消息后感到非常惊讶。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“First, Stephen went to his doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart disease.”可知，他首先去看医生，确保他没有心脏病，③“看医生”排第一；根据第二段“He keeps training and makes progress every day.”可知，他坚持训练，①“训练”排第二；根据第三段“Experts advised him to warm up just before the race because he might get hurt during the race.”可知，专家建议他在比赛前热身，②“热身”排第三；最后才是参加比赛，④“跑步 (比赛)”排第四，所以正确的顺序是③①②④。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“The biggest problem during the marathon seems to be the water. Experts say that on a hot and humid day we can lose too much water. Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot.”可知，专家认为马拉松比赛中最大的问题是水，在湿热天气下可能会流失过多水分，不喝足够水的人会很痛苦；据此可以推断，流失过多水分是最大的问题。故选A。 4．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot. It means they’ll feel very tired because marathon running can lead to a problem in blood pressure.”可知，不喝足够水的人会因为马拉松跑步导致血压问题而感到非常疲惫；据此可以推断，划线单词“suffer”的意思是“痛苦的，难受的”，与“Being painful”同义。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Stephen said running a marathon is all his dream. He said if he doesn’t make it this time, he will keep trying.”以及最后一段“Good on him! Go Stephen! Go!”可知，作者为Stephen的努力感到骄傲是因为Stephen有梦想，并且表示如果这次不成功还会继续尝试，即不放弃梦想。故选B。 ①“Class, this is John Evans,” Mrs. Parmele introduced him to us, trying to give him a warm welcome. We saw a boy in old clothes. John looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would smile back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway. I held my breath as Mrs. Parmele looked around the classroom, hoping she wouldn’t notice the empty desk next to mine. She did, and pointed him at that desk. He looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away. ②By the end of his first week, John was at the bottom of our class. I told my mother one evening at dinner, “He even doesn’t know how to count.” However, as I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, I realized that it was pleasant to be with him. After lunch, I decided that I would be John’s friend. ③One night, as Mother came into my bedroom, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is John’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody cares.” “Don’t worry,” Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be fine. ” ④I wished John a happy birthday in the morning, and his smile showed me that he was glad I had remembered. By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that important. Then, as Mrs. Parmele was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar (熟悉的) voice singing the birthday song. I looked up and saw Mother coming through the door with a tray (托盘) of cupcakes and a present in her hand. Mrs. Parmele also joined in. Mother found John looking like a rabbit in car headlights. She put the cupcakes and the gift on John’s desk and said, “Happy birthday, John.” John stood there with his mouth open, unable to believe what was happening. While John happily shared his cupcakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk, I caught Mother watching me and she smiled. ⑤John Evans moved away soon, and I never heard from him again. But I always remember the happiness in a boy’s eyes, and the taste of the sweetest cupcake. 1．Why did the writer hold his breath after Mrs. Parmele introduced John? A．Because he didn’t want John to sit next to him. B．Because he hoped to make friends with John. C．Because he refused to help John with his schoolwork.
