But true friendships need more than just Wi-Fi. We need to remember: real friendships need both screen chats and face-to-face time to last. ②Staying in touch with friends online is super convenient. We can send a message or share funny videos with friends anytime, even if they’re far away. A quick voice note can cheer someone up fast, and chatting through screens is often relaxing. However, if we only talk online, we might forget how to have warm and face-to-face chats like reading a friend’s smile or giving a real hug when they’re sad. ③That is why meeting in real life is so important for a deeper connection. When we meet up to play basketball, bake cookies, or just walk around, we share real moments. A laugh that sounds loud in person, or a high-five when we win a game-these little things make us feel closer than any online chats. Meeting each other in real life lets us understand each other better. ④So the best way is to balance online and offline. Chat online to stay in touch, but make time to meet friends in real life too. Don’t let screens replace (替代) warm and face-to-face talks. Keeping this balance helps us build true and long-lasting friendships that make life more fun! 27．What can we learn from the passage about online communication?

B．It helps us make lots of new friends in a short time. C．It helps us share moments with friends anytime. D．It helps us understand each other better. 29．Which is the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】27．B 28．D 29．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了真正的友谊需要平衡线上交流与线下面对面相处。 27．细节理解题。根据“Staying in touch with friends online is super convenient. We can send a message or share funny videos with friends anytime”可知，在线交流是随时与朋友保持联系的便捷方式。故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据“Meeting each other in real life lets us understand each other better”可知，面对面相处能帮助我们更好地理解彼此。故选D。 29．篇章结构题。第①段提出“真正的友谊需要线上+线下”的核心观点，第②③段分别分析线上交流的特点和线下相处的重要性，第④段总结要平衡两者。可知，文章结构是“总-分-总”。故选D。 D Do you love cartoons? Do you often hang out on the Internet? If so, you have probably seen a young woman exploring different cartoon worlds. In one video, she turns herself into a fashionable lady. In another, she plays with dragons in traditional Chinese clothes. This woman is Miss Lei. Her creative videos look magical. In fact, Miss Lei isn’t a magician, but an artist. Miss Lei showed a talent for painting from an early age. But she didn’t take it seriously until high school. In her art classes, there were many talented students. She would often quietly watch another girl draw. She thought she could never draw that well. But instead of giving up, she tried her best to catch up.

Call the fire station and wait for the fire service to arrive. Do not go back to the building unless a firefighter says it’s OK. Situation 2:If you see or hear of a fire in another flat or part of the building: It will normally (通常，正常地) be safest for you to remain in your flat. However, you are, of course, free to leave the building if you would prefer to do so. If a member of the fire services tells you to leave your flat, do as he says at once. In either case (无论哪种情况下) , use the stairs to leave the building. Do not use the lift. 24．According to Situation 1, when can you go back to the building after a fire breaks out in your flat?

C ①In our world full of smartphones and apps, it’s never been easier to stay in touch with our friends. But true friendships need more than just Wi-Fi. We need to remember: real friendships need both screen chats and face-to-face time to last. ②Staying in touch with friends online is super convenient. We can send a message or share funny videos with friends anytime, even if they’re far away. A quick voice note can cheer someone up fast, and chatting through screens is often relaxing. However, if we only talk online, we might forget how to have warm and face-to-face chats like reading a friend’s smile or giving a real hug when they’re sad. ③That is why meeting in real life is so important for a deeper connection. When we meet up to play basketball, bake cookies, or just walk around, we share real moments. A laugh that sounds loud in person, or a high-five when we win a game-these little things make us feel closer than any online chats. Meeting each other in real life lets us understand each other better. ④So the best way is to balance online and offline. Chat online to stay in touch, but make time to meet friends in real life too. Don’t let screens replace (替代) warm and face-to-face talks. Keeping this balance helps us build true and long-lasting friendships that make life more fun! 27．What can we learn from the passage about online communication? A．It is the best way to build true and long-lasting friendships. B．It is a convenient way to stay in touch with friends anytime. C．It can replace warm and face-to-face conversations. D．It can help us understand friends’ true feelings clearly. 28．Why is face-to-face time important for friendships? A．It helps us reduce using phones to communicate. B．It helps us make lots of new friends in a short time. C．It helps us share moments with friends anytime. D．It helps us understand each other better. 29．Which is the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． D Do you love cartoons? Do you often hang out on the Internet? If so, you have probably seen a young woman exploring different cartoon worlds.

The simple praise made her confident. She started to work even harder. Later, Miss Lei studied art in Beijing. There, she learned about storyboarding—using pictures to tell stories.
