Are you wondering what problems others have? “I can’t stand your other friends.” My best friend, Kate, sometimes hangs out with some people that I really don’t like. I think they have a bad influence (影响) on her, and she only spends time with them because they are “cool”. Could you tell me if I should bring the matter up to her, or if it would be better for me to keep quiet? I don’t want to lose her as a friend. —Linda “I won’t help you cheat.” My closest friend, Kim, has lost interest in school and studying. He says he’s bored with all the things, so he often asks me whether I’ll let him copy my homework. By now I’ve said no, but he keeps asking. I told him, “I think we’ll get into trouble.” But he just laughed and told me not to worry. I don’t want to put my grades at risk, but I’m afraid to face my friend about this, so I just keep avoiding (回避) the topic. How can I get him to stop asking? I am wondering if you could give me some suggestions for dealing with my problem. —Mike “No, I CAN’T do that for you!” Anna is my best friend. We get along with each other well, but she is asking me to do things for her all the time. “Could you help me pick out some new clothes? Would you mind if I borrow your bike? Can you look after my apartment while I’m away?” And these are just a few examples. I’ve said yes so many times that now I’m afraid I’ll hurt her feelings if I say no.

The institute compared costs using different countries’ GDP per person. GDP per person is the total value (价值) of all the work done and goods produced in a country in one year, divided by the number of people who live there. And the report said the average cost of raising a child in South Korea to the age of 18 is 7.8 times the country’s GDP per person. In China, the average cost of raising a child is about $75,000, which is more than 6.3 times the GDP per person. It’s even more expensive to raise a child in Chinese cities, with an average cost of almost $94,000.    South Korea and China both have very low birth rates (比率). South Korea’s is the lowest in the world — and with those costs, it might be easy to see why. Japan also has a low birth rate, but it costs about 4.3 times the GDP per person to raise a child there. It’s 4.1 times in the USA, and 2.1 times in Australia. But it’s not only money that parents have to spend—it’s time too. And this is another reason young people are choosing not to have children, according to the institute. For example, the report showed that in China, between 2010 and 2018, the amount of time parents spent helping their children with their homework increased from less than four hours to almost six hours per week. 1．What’s the average cost of raising a child to the age of 18 in China? A．About $47,250. B．About $75,000. C．About $94,000. 2．Which country has the lowest birth rate in the world? A．Japan. B．China. C．South Korea. 3．What would the writer go on talking about next? A．Parents have less time to make money. B．The time parents spent with children increased. C．Children nowadays have too much pressure in China and South Korea. 4．What’s the best title for this text? A．Raising a Child Costs the Most B．The Economy (经济) in China and South Korea C．Young People are Choosing Not to Have Children 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国及韩国的出生率低的相关原因，并比较了不同国家抚养孩子的成本高低。 1． 细节理解题。根据“In China, the average cost of raising a child is about $75,000,”可知，在中国，抚养一个孩子的平均成本约为7.5万美元，故选B。 2． 细节理解题。根据“South Korea’s is the lowest in the world”可知，韩国的出生率是世界上最低的，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“For example, the report showed that in China, between 2010 and 2018, the amount of time parents spent helping their children with their homework increased from less than four hours to almost six hours per week.”可知，文章接下来应该是介绍父母花费更多的时间帮助他们的孩子，故选B。 4．最佳标题题。根据“The cost of raising a child is the highest in South Korea and China,”以及整个文章的理解可知，本文主要是介绍出生率低背后的原因，主要是抚养孩子的成本太高，故选A。 C Getting in touch with friends is difficult after people change schools or move house. They don’t know how to start the conversation again if they don’t talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so. Psychologists (心理学家) from colleges did a study about how people feel about getting in touch with old friends. The study shows over 90% of the people don’t call their old friends. 70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them and maybe their old friends are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people. Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won’t feel embarrassed (尴尬的) at all. Instead, they know each other better.” In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a fact. C．By asking a question. D．By listing numbers. 2．Why don’t most people want to call their old friends first? A．Because they almost forget their old friends. B．Because they are worried about their old friends. C．Because they have nothing to say to their old friends. D．Because they aren’t sure how to restart a conversation with their old friends properly. 3．What can we learn from Lara Aknin’s words? A．It’s hard to get in touch with old friends. B．We can’t share our things with old friends. C．Differences may help people get close to old friends.

C．We should make as many new friends as possible.

They don’t know how to start the conversation again if they don’t talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so.”直接陈述了人们更换学校或搬家后难以与老朋友联系这一客观情况，属于给出事实。故选B。 2．推流判断题。根据“The study shows over 90% of the people don’t call their old friends. 70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them and maybe their old friends are too busy to talk with them.”可知，大多数人不想先给老朋友打电话，是因为他们不确定如何恰当地重新开启对话。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据 Lara Aknin 的话“Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other.”可知，她认为差异可能有助于人们与老朋友拉近关系。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章先提出人们难以联系老朋友的问题及相关担忧，接着引用心理学家的观点说明差异并非阻碍，最后以“In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call?”呼吁人们主动联系老朋友，核心是想告诉我们要勇敢地与老朋友取得联系。故选B。 D ①In our life, we may meet persons with different personalities. What is your personality type?

Do you know what I mean by that? 1 . Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look—our own face. Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or weird (怪异的). 2 . I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. 3 . His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life. But Hoge didn’t give up. Strangers would stare at (盯着看) him or even make fun of him. 43 . He never complained about his looks and felt confident in himself. He was popular at school because he was kind to everyone. He has gone on to live an amazing life. It’s hard when you feel like you don’t look “normal (正常的)” or “perfect (完美的)”.

Some of us are fat.”可知，下文举例有人高，有人胖。由此推知，空格处应表示我们看起来不同。选项B“我们看起来都有点不同”符合语境，故选B。 2．根据上文“Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or weird (怪异的).”和下文“But Hoge didn’t give up...He never complained his looks and felt confident in himself.”可知，上文表达了负面情绪，而下文却列举了一个积极的事例。由此推知，空格处需填入一个与上文构成转折关系的语句，以引出下文积极的事例。选项D“但正是我们的不同，让我们与众不同”符合语境，故选D。 3．根据下文“His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life.”可知，空格处应说明Hoge的母亲担心他的原因。选项C“Hoge生来就有一张奇怪的脸”符合语境，故选C。 4．根据上文“Strangers would stare at (盯着看) him or even make fun of him.”和下文“He never complained about his looks and felt confident in himself.”可推知，Hoge不在乎陌生人盯着他看，‌或‌取笑他。选项A“但是他不在乎”符合语境，故选A。 5．根据上文“It’s hard when you feel like you don’t look ‘normal (正常的)’ or ‘perfect (完美的)’.

It plays an important role in our life. People used gasoline (汽油) cars for many years before electric (电的) cars. With more and more electric cars coming out, it offers a good choice to lower the pressure of energy. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity. Are electric cars as good as gasoline cars? Electric and gasoline cars look the same on the outside but they still have very different parts inside. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars have hundreds of parts, often needing frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to keep and seem to have fewer mechanical (机械的) problems.. Electric cars are energy-saving, also making them cheaper to run. It costs about $1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which costs about $1.25 to go 18 miles in a gas car. Actually, an electric car can go twice or more as far as a gas car for the same price. Electric cars have less pollution, making them more friendly to the environment. An electric car has to stop more often to get charged (充电). So, you would choose a gas car if you have to drive far. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. And as soon as an electric car reaches a charging station, it may take long time to charge. There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know which is more important to you. With the development of electric cars, people wonder if electric cars can work 1 the traditional gasoline cars. ↑ Facts ↑ The idea of comparing electric cars with gasoline cars. 2 ↓ Differences ↓ ●Electric cars and gasoline cars have 3 on the outside. ●They both have motors. Electric ears ●Having fewer parts lowers the cost of their maintenance and the frequency of having mechanical problems. ●They are more energy-saving, making them cheaper to run. Gasoline cars ●Gas cars can cover a longer distance. ●Gas cars are 4 to get gasoline than electric cars to get charged. Conclusion Both electric cars and gasoline cars have their advantages. People should 5 according to their needs. 【答案】1．as well as 2．Similarities 3．the same appearance 4．easier 5．decide 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述电动汽车和传统汽油车的相似性和不同点，二者各有特点和优势，给人们提供了不一样的选择。 1．根据第一段“Are electric cars as good as gasoline cars?”可知，随着电动汽车的发展，人们想知道电动汽车是否和传统的汽油车一样好，此处修饰动词work，副词修饰动词，因此形容词good要变为副词well。故填as well as。 2．根据“The idea of comparing electric cars with gasoline cars.”以及“Differences”可知，表格中分别比较了电车和汽油车的相似之处和不同之处，similarities表示“相似之处”，作为标题首字母大写。故填Similarities。 3．根据第二段“Electric and gasoline cars look the same on the outside”可知，电车和汽油车外观看起来相同，横线处要表示两者有相同的外观。the same“相同的”，appearance“外表”，故填the same appearance。 4．根据倒数第二段“There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars...it may take long time to charge.”可知，加油站很充足，而电车充电桩不充裕，电动汽车到达充电站之后，可能需要花很长时间才能充电。所以，汽油车加油比电动车充电更容易。easier比较级“更容易的”，故填easier。 5．根据最后一段“There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know which is more important to you.”可知，电动汽车和传统汽油车各有优势，人们应该根据自己的需求决定。decide动词“决定”，情态动词should之后跟动词原形，故填decide。 B Friends are important to us. Friends help us get through hard times. So we all agree with the saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friends also make a difference to us a lot. “A true friend reaches for your hand and touche year heart.” This Chinese idea has the same idea as the English saying. Let’s enjoy two friendship poems from Chinese and Western writers. To Wang Lun By Li BaiI, Li Bai, sit in a boat about to go, When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow. However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be, It is not so deep, Wang Lun! As your love for me. A Time to Talk By Robert Frost When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed, And shout from where I am, what is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod: I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit. Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene of his friend seeing him off. US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing stops spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere. 1．Why do we say “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”? 2．What story does Li Bai tell us in To Wang Lun? 3．What do you think of the friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun? 4．What does Robert Fret want to tell us in his poem? 5．Do you think friends are necessary all the time in our life? Why? 【答案】 1．Because friends help us get through hard times. 2．Li Bai described the scene of his friend Wang Lun seeing him off. 3．The friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun is very deep. 4．Robert Frost wants to tell us that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. 5．Yes, friends are necessary all the time in our life. Because they can support us during difficult times and bring joy to our lives. 【导语】本文主要介绍了两首关于友谊的诗。 1．根据“Friends help us get through hard times.”可知，说“患难见真情”的原因是朋友帮助我们渡过难关。故填Because friends help us get through hard times. 2．根据“Li Bai described the scene of his friend seeing him off.”可知，李白在《赠汪伦》中讲了他的朋友汪伦给他送行的故事。故填Li Bai tells the story of his friend Wang Lun seeing him off. 3．根据“Li made a comparison. His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water.”可知，李白和王伦的友谊非常深厚。故填The friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun is very deep. 4．根据“Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing stops spending time with friends.”可知，罗伯特·弗雷特在他的诗中想告诉我们应该停止我们正在做的事情，与我们的朋友交谈。故填Robert Frost wants to tell us that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. 5．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Yes, friends are necessary all the time in our life. Because they can support us during difficult times and bring joy to our lives. 【单元写作技能练习】 一、短文填空 A 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 Jeff Green: My mother told me a good friend is 1 a mirror.

In fact, whatever differences you have, one common interest can bring you and your friends together. Julia and tom were good friends when they were little kids. They used to play together, though they sometimes fought a little. However, after they grew up, they seldom played with each other. Julia liked to play with girls, and tom prefer to play with boys. When they were about fourteen and years old, they almost stopped speaking to each other because they belonged to different groups. One day, Julia saw time watching the M. B, A game on T. V. SHE felt that they had a common interest, and he felt excited. SHE asked the tom who his favorite basketball star was. To her surprise, they are favorite star with the same person.

First, they make life more enjoyable. We can share happy things with them. Friends enrich (充实) our everyday lives and we enrich 4 too. Second, when we are going through a hard time, friends can 5 give us help. And that can make bad things in our life seem much easier. So where do we find friends?

Maybe she will 8 our friendship.” My father said, “Don’t worry 9 it. I think this is a chance for you to be an extra-good (特别好的) friend.” “Dad is right,” said my mother. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy (忌妒) and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little 10 , space and understanding, and she will understand you soon.” Over the next week, I tried my best to give Emma some space. Then one day on the way to our 11 , I met her. “I just want to say, you’re such a great 12 when acting,” I said. She seemed happy and said how she understood that role.

Are you wondering what problems others have? “I can’t stand your other friends.” My best friend, Kate, sometimes hangs out with some people that I really don’t like. I think they have a bad influence (影响) on her, and she only spends time with them because they are “cool”. Could you tell me if I should bring the matter up to her, or if it would be better for me to keep quiet? I don’t want to lose her as a friend. —Linda “I won’t help you cheat.” My closest friend, Kim, has lost interest in school and studying. He says he’s bored with all the things, so he often asks me whether I’ll let him copy my homework. By now I’ve said no, but he keeps asking. I told him, “I think we’ll get into trouble.” But he just laughed and told me not to worry. I don’t want to put my grades at risk, but I’m afraid to face my friend about this, so I just keep avoiding (回避) the topic. How can I get him to stop asking? I am wondering if you could give me some suggestions for dealing with my problem. —Mike “No, I CAN’T do that for you!” Anna is my best friend. We get along with each other well, but she is asking me to do things for her all the time. “Could you help me pick out some new clothes? Would you mind if I borrow your bike? Can you look after my apartment while I’m away?” And these are just a few examples. I’ve said yes so many times that now I’m afraid I’ll hurt her feelings if I say no. Any ideas? —Amy 1．What does the underlined part “I should bring the matter up to her” mean? A．I should stay away from her. B．I should make friends with them. C．I should talk with her about this thing. D．I should keep silent on that matter. 2．What is Mike’s problem? A．How to refuse Kim’s request. B．Kim always cheats him. C．How to copy homework. D．Kim often laughs at him. 3．Which is the best answer for Amy to give to Anna？ A．Thanks all the same. B．It’s my pleasure. C．I am glad to help you. D．Sorry, I can’t do that. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．How to choose friends. B．How to get along with friends. C．How to make friends happy. D．Problems between friends. B The cost of raising a child is the highest in South Korea and China, according to a new report by Beijing’s YuWa Population Research Institute. The institute compared costs using different countries’ GDP per person. GDP per person is the total value (价值) of all the work done and goods produced in a country in one year, divided by the number of people who live there. And the report said the average cost of raising a child in South Korea to the age of 18 is 7.8 times the country’s GDP per person. In China, the average cost of raising a child is about $75,000, which is more than 6.3 times the GDP per person. It’s even more expensive to raise a child in Chinese cities, with an average cost of almost $94,000.    South Korea and China both have very low birth rates (比率). South Korea’s is the lowest in the world — and with those costs, it might be easy to see why. Japan also has a low birth rate, but it costs about 4.3 times the GDP per person to raise a child there. It’s 4.1 times in the USA, and 2.1 times in Australia. But it’s not only money that parents have to spend—it’s time too. And this is another reason young people are choosing not to have children, according to the institute. For example, the report showed that in China, between 2010 and 2018, the amount of time parents spent helping their children with their homework increased from less than four hours to almost six hours per week. 1．What’s the average cost of raising a child to the age of 18 in China? A．About $47,250. B．About $75,000. C．About $94,000. 2．Which country has the lowest birth rate in the world? A．Japan. B．China. C．South Korea. 3．What would the writer go on talking about next? A．Parents have less time to make money. B．The time parents spent with children increased. C．Children nowadays have too much pressure in China and South Korea. 4．What’s the best title for this text? A．Raising a Child Costs the Most B．The Economy (经济) in China and South Korea C．Young People are Choosing Not to Have Children C Getting in touch with friends is difficult after people change schools or move house. They don’t know how to start the conversation again if they don’t talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so. Psychologists (心理学家) from colleges did a study about how people feel about getting in touch with old friends. The study shows over 90% of the people don’t call their old friends. 70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them and maybe their old friends are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people. Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won’t feel embarrassed (尴尬的) at all. Instead, they know each other better.” In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a fact. C．By asking a question. D．By listing numbers. 2．Why don’t most people want to call their old friends first? A．Because they almost forget their old friends. B．Because they are worried about their old friends. C．Because they have nothing to say to their old friends. D．Because they aren’t sure how to restart a conversation with their old friends properly. 3．What can we learn from Lara Aknin’s words? A．It’s hard to get in touch with old friends. B．We can’t share our things with old friends. C．Differences may help people get close to old friends. D．Most people might have different lifestyles and interests. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．It’s important to have some good friends. B．Be brave to get in touch with your old friends. C．We should make as many new friends as possible. D．Make friends with people having the same interest. D ①In our life, we may meet persons with different personalities. What is your personality type? Read about the following and find it out! ②A dreamer thinks there is a “right” way to do things. This person wants to live in the “perfect world”. Dreamers like to do things in order.

A．But he didn’t care B．We all look a little different C．Hoge was born with a strange-looking face D．But our differences are what make us special E．The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like F．He was very angry 五、任务型阅读 A 完成表格。根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。 As we know, energy s one of the most serious problems in the world now. It plays an important role in our life. People used gasoline (汽油) cars for many years before electric (电的) cars. With more and more electric cars coming out, it offers a good choice to lower the pressure of energy. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity. Are electric cars as good as gasoline cars? Electric and gasoline cars look the same on the outside but they still have very different parts inside. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars have hundreds of parts, often needing frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to keep and seem to have fewer mechanical (机械的) problems.. Electric cars are energy-saving, also making them cheaper to run. It costs about $1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which costs about $1.25 to go 18 miles in a gas car. Actually, an electric car can go twice or more as far as a gas car for the same price. Electric cars have less pollution, making them more friendly to the environment. An electric car has to stop more often to get charged (充电). So, you would choose a gas car if you have to drive far. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. And as soon as an electric car reaches a charging station, it may take long time to charge. There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know which is more important to you. With the development of electric cars, people wonder if electric cars can work 1 the traditional gasoline cars. ↑ Facts ↑ The idea of comparing electric cars with gasoline cars. 2 ↓ Differences ↓ ●Electric cars and gasoline cars have 3 on the outside. ●They both have motors. Electric ears ●Having fewer parts lowers the cost of their maintenance and the frequency of having mechanical problems. ●They are more energy-saving, making them cheaper to run. Gasoline cars ●Gas cars can cover a longer distance. ●Gas cars are 4 to get gasoline than electric cars to get charged. Conclusion Both electric cars and gasoline cars have their advantages. People should 5 according to their needs. B Friends are important to us. Friends help us get through hard times. So we all agree with the saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friends also make a difference to us a lot. “A true friend reaches for your hand and touche year heart.” This Chinese idea has the same idea as the English saying. Let’s enjoy two friendship poems from Chinese and Western writers. To Wang Lun By Li BaiI, Li Bai, sit in a boat about to go, When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow. However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be, It is not so deep, Wang Lun! As your love for me. A Time to Talk By Robert Frost When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed, And shout from where I am, what is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod: I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit. Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene of his friend seeing him off. US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing stops spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere. 1．Why do we say “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”? 2．What story does Li Bai tell us in To Wang Lun? 3．What do you think of the friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun? 4．What does Robert Fret want to tell us in his poem? 5．Do you think friends are necessary all the time in our life? Why? 【单元写作技能练习】 一、短文填空 A 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 Jeff Green: My mother told me a good friend is 1 a mirror. I’m quieter and 2 (serious) than most kids.
