学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 6 Friendship 单元话题（友谊）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 For us teenagers, friends play an irreplaceable role in our daily lives. They are the people we share joys and sorrows with, and they always stand by our side when we need support. Unlike family members, friends often understand our thoughts more easily because we grow up in the same environment and face similar challenges, such as schoolwork pressure and peer relationships. A good friend is not just someone who plays with us. They are also our mentors and listeners. When we feel confused about our studies, a friend may share useful learning methods with us. When we are in a bad mood, they will listen to our troubles patiently and encourage us to cheer up. Last month, I struggled a lot with my spoken English. I was too shy to speak in class, and I even wanted to give up. My friend Tom noticed my problem. He suggested that we practise speaking English together every afternoon after school. We talked about our favourite movies, school events and daily lives. Gradually, I became more confident, and my spoken English improved a lot in the latest exam. I felt so grateful to Tom for his help. Building and maintaining a good friendship requires effort from both sides. First, we should be honest with our friends. Lying will hurt the trust between friends. Second, we need to respect each other’s differences. Everyone has their own hobbies and personalities, and we should learn to accept them. Finally, we should be willing to help our friends when they are in trouble. A true friendship can last for a long time if we cherish it. In conclusion, friends are the bright light that guides us along the journey of growth. They make our lives more colourful and meaningful. We should treasure every true friend and keep our friendship alive. 1．Why do friends often understand teenagers’ thoughts more easily? A．Because friends are older than teenagers. B．Because they grow up in the same environment and face similar challenges. C．Because friends have more life experience. D．Because they are good at guessing others’ thoughts. 2．What problem did the writer have last month? A．He failed his English exam. B．He was too shy to speak English in class. C．He couldn’t finish his English homework. D．He lost his English textbook. 3．How did Tom help the writer solve his problem? A．He helped the writer review English grammar. B．He lent his English notes to the writer. C．He suggested practising speaking English together every afternoon. D．He asked the English teacher to help the writer. 4．Which of the following is NOT a way to maintain a good friendship? A．Be honest with friends. B．Respect each other’s differences. C．Lie to friends to avoid conflicts. D．Help friends when they are in trouble. 5．What does the writer compare friends to in the last paragraph? A．A bright light. B．A warm sun. C．A strong bridge. D．A comfortable home. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了朋友在青少年生活中的重要作用，通过作者自身的经历说明朋友的帮助，并介绍了维护良好友谊的方法，最后呼吁大家珍惜友谊。 1．第一段指出：“Unlike family members, friends often understand our thoughts more easily because we grow up in the same environment and face similar challenges, such as schoolwork pressure and peer relationships”，直接说明朋友更容易理解青少年想法的原因是成长环境相同、面临相似挑战。 2．第二段指出：“Last month, I struggled a lot with my spoken English. I was too shy to speak in class, and I even wanted to give up”，说明作者上个月的问题是在课堂上不敢说英语。 3．第二段指出：“My friend Tom noticed my problem. He suggested that we practise speaking English together every afternoon after school.”，说明Tom帮助作者的方式是建议每天下午一起练习英语口语。 4．第三段指出：“First, we should be honest with our friends. Lying will hurt the trust between friends. Second, we need to respect each other's differences... Finally, we should be willing to help our friends when they are in trouble”，说明维护友谊的方法是诚实、尊重差异、帮助朋友，而“对朋友撒谎”不是维护友谊的方式。 5．最后一段指出：“In conclusion, friends are the bright light that guides us along the journey of growth”，说明作者将朋友比作“明亮的光”。 Many teenagers find it hard to say “no” to others. They want to be liked, so they often agree to do things they don’t really want to do. This can cause stress and make them feel unhappy. Sarah, a 14-year-old student, used to have this problem. “Whenever my friends asked me to do something, I always said yes,” she said. “I was afraid that if I said no, they would be angry and wouldn’t like me anymore.” Sarah ended up staying up late to help others with their homework and joining activities she didn’t enjoy. One day, Sarah felt so tired that she couldn’t focus in class. Her teacher noticed and asked what was wrong. After hearing Sarah’s story, the teacher said, “It’s okay to say no sometimes. Your feelings matter too.” Sarah realized that she needed to set boundaries. She started to say no politely but firmly. To her surprise, her friends understood and respected her decision. “Now I feel less stressed,” Sarah said. “I learned that true friends will accept you, even when you say no.” 1．Why did Sarah use to say yes to everything? A．She enjoyed helping others. B．She was afraid her friends wouldn’t like her. C．She had nothing else to do. D．Her teacher asked her to do so. 2．What problem did Sarah face after always saying yes? A．She lost all her friends. B．She felt tired and stressed. C．She failed her exams. D．She argued with her parents. 3．Who helped Sarah realize she could say no? A．Her parents. B．Her friends. C．Her teacher. D．Her classmates. 4．What does the underlined word “boundaries” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．规则 B．边界；界限 C．目标 D．习惯 5．What lesson can we learn from the story? A．We should always help others. B．Saying no is always bad for friendships. C．True friends respect your choices. D．It’s best to do everything alone. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，围绕青少年“不懂拒绝”的普遍困境展开，讲述了Sarah因害怕失去朋友而事事答应，最终陷入疲惫与压力，在老师的引导下学会说“不”、建立人际边界，收获轻松与真友谊的故事，传递了“真正的朋友会尊重你的选择”的道理。 1．第二段指出Sarah的想法：“I was afraid that if I said no, they would be angry and wouldn’t like me anymore.”，直接说明她事事答应的原因：Sarah过去对所有事都说“是”，是因为她害怕朋友会因此生气、不再喜欢她。 2．第三段提到“Sarah felt so tired that she couldn’t focus in class.”，以及首段 “This can cause stress and make them feel unhappy.”，说明事事答应带来的问题：总是答应别人后，Sarah感到疲惫不堪、压力缠身，无法集中注意力上课。 3．第三段明确说明“After hearing Sarah’s story, the teacher said, ‘It’s okay to say no sometimes. Your feelings matter too.’”，点明帮助Sarah的人：是老师的引导让Sarah意识到自己可以说“不”。 4．第三段上下文：Sarah意识到自己需要设定“boundaries”，并开始礼貌而坚定地拒绝别人。结合“学会拒绝”的语境，“boundaries”意为“边界；界限”，指在人际交往中为自己设定的原则底线。 5．最后一段Sarah的感悟：“I learned that true friends will accept you, even when you say no.”，点明文章主旨：从这个故事中我们学到，真正的朋友会尊重你的选择，不会因为你说“不”就疏远你。 Last month, I had a serious fight with my best friend, Lily, and it became the most meaningful lesson in my growing-up journey. We used to share everything—secrets, snacks, and even our dreams. But everything changed when we planned the school art festival together. I was in charge of drawing the poster, and Lily was responsible for collecting materials. I worked hard on the poster for three days, but when I showed it to her, she said it looked too dark and suggested changing the main colors. I got angry immediately. I thought she didn’t understand my effort and didn’t respect my ideas. “You never care about what I want!” I shouted at her and walked away without listening to her explanation. For the next week, I felt lonely and upset. The classroom, which was once full of our laughter, felt empty. I missed her company when I studied and her comfort when I felt sad. Then my mother noticed my bad mood and talked to me. She said, “Growing up means learning to put yourself in others’ shoes. Lily might have good reasons for her suggestion.” Her words made me think a lot. I realized I was too proud and didn’t try to understand Lily. So I decided to apologize to her. The next day, I walked to Lily’s seat and said, “I’m sorry for my rude words. Can we work together again?” Lily smiled and nodded. She told me she suggested changing the colors because she wanted the poster to attract more students. In the end, our poster won the first prize in the art festival. But the real prize for me was the lesson I learned: true friendship needs communication and tolerance. This experience taught me to control my anger and be more understanding. It is a small but important step in my growing up. 1．What happened between the writer and Lily at the beginning of the story? A．They had a fight over the art festival plan. B．They won a prize together. C．They shared secrets happily. D．They finished the poster successfully. 2．Why did the writer get angry with Lily? A．Because Lily didn’t help collect materials. B．Because Lily didn’t respect the writer’s idea and effort. C．Because Lily didn’t want to work with the writer. D．Because Lily thought the poster was too bright. 3．What did the writer’s mother tell her about growing up? A．Growing up means being proud of oneself. B．Growing up means learning to understand others. C．Growing up means winning every competition. D．Growing up means avoiding arguments with friends. 4．How did the writer solve the problem with Lily? A．She asked her mother to talk to Lily. B．She wrote a letter to apologize to Lily. C．She went to Lily and apologized in person. D．She asked the teacher for help. 5．What is the main lesson the writer learned from this experience? A．Winning prizes is the most important in friendship. B．True friendship needs communication and tolerance. C．It’s better to work alone than with others. D．One should never apologize to friends. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了作者和好友Lily因艺术节海报设计产生争吵，后来反思并道歉，最终和好且海报获奖，从中学会友谊需要沟通与包容。 1．第一段第一句“I had a serious fight with my best friend”和最后一句“But everything changed when we planned the school art festival together.”，故事开头“他们因艺术节计划发生争吵”。 2．第二段“I thought she didn’t understand my effort and didn’t respect my ideas.”，作者对Lily生气的原因是“Lily不尊重作者的想法和付出”。 3．第三段“She said,‘Growing up means learning to put yourself in others’ shoes.’”，作者的妈妈告诉作者“成长意味着学会换位思考、理解他人”。 4．倒数第二段“The next day, I walked to Lily’s seat and said,‘I’m sorry for my rude words. Can we work together again?’”，作者走到Lily座位，亲自向她道歉。 5．最后一段“But the real prize for me was the lesson I learned: true friendship needs communication and tolerance.”，作者学到了“真正的友谊需要交流和包容”。 Should friends be different or the same?

Let’s read what these people think. Jeff Green: My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror, I’m quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet  too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends  are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good. Huang Lei: It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more. Mary Smith: I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is, “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she’s always there to listen. 1．Why does Jeff like studying with Yuan Li? A．Yuan Li is quiet too. B．Yuan Li loves playing  sports. C．Yuan Li is good at tennis.

D．All like the same friends. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to help friends in need. B．Different ideas about friends. C．The best way to study with friends. D．How to make good friends. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Jeff、Huang Lei和Mary三人对于朋友应该相同还是不同的不同观点。 1．第二段指出原因：“My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together.”，这直接说明Jeff喜欢和Yuan Li一起学习是因为Yuan Li也很安静。 2．第三段说明结果：“However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis.”，说明Larry帮助Huang Lei在网球方面变得更好。 3．第四段描述经历：“I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.”，结合前文Carol is really kind and very funny，可知是Carol的玩笑和善良让Mary感觉好起来。 4．第三段提到事实：“We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins.”，由此可知Larry网球打得更好。 5．第一段点明主题：“Should friends be the same or different? Let’s read what these people think.”，说明文章主要是关于人们对于朋友的不同看法。 Last Friday, Lucy sat by herself and felt upset because her best friend, Alice, didn’t speak to her for two days. During the lunch break, Lucy decided to write a note to Alice: “I miss our chats. Did I do anything wrong? Let’s talk after school.” She put it into Alice’s pencil case. When Alice found the note in her pencil case, she read it carefully and realized she had misunderstood (误解) Lucy. Earlier that week, Alice saw Lucy talking to another classmate and thought Lucy was sharing her secret. After school, they met under the old oak tree near the playground. Autumn leaves fell down under their feet. “I thought you told others about my birthday surprise,” Alice said. Lucy explained, “I was actually asking for advice on your gift! I know your favourite colours are blue and silver. I just wanted your gift to be perfect.” Alice’s face turned red and tears filled her eyes. “I’m so sorry! I just…” Her voice sounded a little bit strange. Lucy hugged her tightly. “Never! But next time, just ask me, okay?” Then they promised each other they would communicate openly next time. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Lucy asked. “I was afraid of losing you,” Alice said. The girls walked home together, their laughter mixing with rustling (沙沙作响的) leaves. From that day, they promised to share their feelings first. Now they both understand that open conversations can solve problems. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why did Alice stop talking to Lucy? A．Lucy forgot Alice’s birthday gift. B．Alice thought Lucy shared her secret.

B．Lucy wrote the note to Alice mainly to complain about her cold attitude. C．The two girls would probably communicate more openly in their later friendship. D．Autumn leaves falling made the girls feel sad and unwilling to talk anymore. 5．What can you learn from the story? A．Keeping secrets is bad for friendships. B．Birthday surprises should be planned earlier. C．Friends shouldn’t always trust each other. D．Open communication can solve problems. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文讲述了Lucy和Alice因误会产生矛盾，Lucy主动写便条沟通，最终两人解开误会，约定今后坦诚交流的故事。 1．第二段“Earlier that week, Alice saw Lucy talking to another classmate and thought Lucy was sharing her secret.”明确指出Alice看到Lucy和其他同学说话，误以为Lucy把自己的秘密告诉了别人，因此不再和 Lucy说话。 2．第三段“‘Why didn’t you tell me earlier?’ Lucy asked. ‘I was afraid of losing you,’ Alice said.”明确指出Alice表示自己早没说出想法是因为害怕失去Lucy，即担心两人的友谊结束。 3．第二段“Earlier that week, Alice saw Lucy talking to another classmate and thought Lucy was sharing her secret.”；第一段“Lucy decided to write a note to Alice... Let’s talk after school.”；第三段“Lucy hugged her tightly…they promised each other they would communicate openly next time.”事件以“Alice看到Lucy和他人交谈”为开端，继而产生误会，之后Lucy写便条主动沟通，最后两人和解拥抱、约定坦诚交流，符合2→4→1→3的顺序。 4．第三段“Then they promised each other they would communicate openly next time…From that day, they promised to share their feelings first.”点明两人约定今后要坦诚沟通、先分享自己的感受，由此可推断她们之后的友谊中会更开放地交流。 5．文章结尾直接点明主旨，两人通过沟通解开误会，也明白了坦诚交流能解决问题的道理。 ①Do you know E-type (extrovert) and I-type (introvert) personalities? These two kinds of personalities are much discussed online. Even twins may be quite different from each other, such as personalities, hobbies, friends, etc. Emma and Ella are good examples. ②Emma, an extrovert, enjoys trying new things and playing with many friends. Anna and she head to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, she hangs out with Judy, eating and riding. At school, Lily is her best friend. She doesn’t spend much time with Lily over the weekends because Lily likes to play video games at home alone. She is cool with it because she can visit other friends. She values Lily’s friendship a lot because Lily cares about her and often gives great advice on her problems. ③Ella, an introvert, thinks nothing is more enjoyable than staying on the sofa by herself with a great book in hand. However, she does also need time with her two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so lively that her jokes bring much joy to Ella’s quiet days. Tina is more like her, and Tina understands her better than she understands herself. They often take a long walk to share their feelings. She loves both her friends and needs their different personalities to make her life colourful. ④From Emma and Ella, we can see that extroverts and introverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities. So one should start to make different friends and enjoy the special friendship. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What do Emma and Anna do on Saturdays? A．Surf at the beach. B．Riding the bikes. C．Playing video games. D．Taking a long walk. 2．Which of the following words can best describe Sue? A．Hard-working. B．Understanding. C．Boring. D．Outgoing. 3．Who is Emma’s best friend at school? A．Anna. B．Judy. C．Lily. D．Ella. 4．What may be the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Friends should help each other. B．Friends bring out the best in each other. C．Friends don’t have to be the same. D．Friends reach for your hands and touch your hearts. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文围绕外向型（E-type）与内向型（I-type）两种性格展开，通过Emma、Ella等人物的事例，说明不同性格的人也能成为好朋友，传递了“朋友不必性格相同”的观点。 1．第②段提到“Anna and she head to the beach on Saturdays to surf”，说明Emma和Anna周六去海滩冲浪。 2．第③段提到“Sue is so lively that her jokes bring much joy to Ella's quiet days”，说明Sue活泼开朗，用“Outgoing（外向的）”描述最贴切。 3．第②段提到“Lily is her best friend”，说明Lily是Emma在学校最好的朋友。 4．文章结构为：第①段总起介绍两种性格；第②、③段分别举例说明；第④段总结观点，对应“总—分—总”结构，即选项C的结构。 5．第④段提到“extroverts and introverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities”，说明我们能学到：朋友不必性格相同。 Have you heard of (听说) dazi? Have you ever found a dazi? These days, finding a dazi is becoming popular with Chinese young people. A dazi is a person we eat with, study with, exercise with or take a trip with, but we haven’t known him or her before. The dazi culture is about finding the right person to do the right activity with. Xiaoyue, a young woman from Ningxia, has met many dazi because of her love for basketball and biking. Having a dazi not only gives her company (陪伴) but also helps her enjoy sports more. These dazi relationships are very different from close friendships. As for close friends, we need to keep in touch closely. With a dazi, you don’t have to do so. Many dazi may not meet again after a trip or a game together. So, many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable. Finding a dazi shows that Chinese young people want clearer boundaries (界限) in their social relationships. Dazi will not talk or ask a lot about their personal lives. And they hope these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests, or that they can help them to improve themselves. Although finding a dazi has many good points, we should be careful and put our safety first. 1．How might Xiaoyue describe having a dazi? A．Serious. B．Difficult. C．Enjoyable. D．Meaningless. 2．What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Having a social life. B．Playing games together. C．Keeping in touch closely. D．Talking about personal life. 3．Why do Chinese young people like to find a dazi? ①To improve themselves.    ②To share their hobbies and interests. ③To save time and money.    ④To have boundaries in their social relationships. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 4．How does having a dazi affect many young people’s social life? A．More difficult and boring. B．Easier and more comfortable. C．Closer and busier. D．Healthier and warmer. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Some stories of dazi B．How we find a dazi C．Dazi: special close friends D．Dazi: a new popular culture 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了在中国年轻人中流行的“搭子文化”，解释了搭子的定义、与亲密朋友的区别，以及年轻人喜欢搭子的原因和注意事项。 1．第二段“Having a dazi not only gives her company but also helps her enjoy sports more.”指出，搭子不仅陪伴她，还让她更享受运动，说明她觉得搭子是令人愉快的。 2．第三段“As for close friends, we need to keep in touch closely. With a dazi, you don’t have to do so.”指出，对于亲密朋友，我们需要密切联系；而对于搭子，你不必这样做，因此“so”指代前文的keep in touch closely。 3．④对应第四段“Finding a dazi shows that Chinese young people want clearer boundaries in their social relationships.”；②对应第四段“And they hope these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests...”；①对应第四段“or that they can help them to improve themselves.”； ③原文未提及，错误。 4．第三段“So, many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable.”指出，很多人认为拥有一个“搭子”能让他们的社交生活变得更加轻松和惬意。 5．全文介绍了“搭子”的定义、特点、年轻人喜欢搭子的原因，核心是“搭子”这种新兴流行文化。 Yu Boya was a famous musician who lived during China’s Spring and Autumn Period. He played the qin, an ancient Chinese string instrument, better than anyone else at that time. One day, while playing by a river, Yu Boya met Zhong Ziqi, a woodcutter. Zhong Ziqi had a special talent for understanding music. When he heard Yu Boya play, he could describe exactly what the music meant. This was rare, and it made Yu Boya very happy to find someone who truly understood his music. Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi became good friends. They spent lots of time together, talking about music, nature, and life. Their friendship showed that people from different backgrounds can become close if they share common interests. Sadly, Zhong Ziqi got sick and died soon after meeting Yu Boya. Feeling very sad and lonely, Yu Boya believed no one else would understand his music as Zhong Ziqi did.

This was rare”，这里的“This”指代前一句提到的钟子期能够理解俞伯牙音乐这件事。 3．第三段提到“They spent lots of time together, talking about music, nature, and life.”，文中提到了音乐、自然和生活，但没有提到“爱情”。 4．最后两段提到钟子期去世后，俞伯牙感到悲伤和孤独，认为再无人能懂他的音乐，因此摔琴不再弹奏，主要原因是失去了知音。 5．全文围绕俞伯牙与钟子期的故事展开，核心是音乐带来的心灵相通和真挚的友谊，因此最佳标题是“音乐与真挚友谊的力量”。 能力综合实践5篇 Vanessa and Niki had just begun a friendship. Niki was new to the school, and Vanessa had thought she was a snob (势利的人). That was mostly because Niki said little, and besides, that was the rumor (谣言) about her. But then, Niki left her notebook on the playground by accident, and Vanessa picked it up and returned it to her. Then the two girls started to talk, and they got to know each other. Now Vanessa knew that Niki wasn’t a snob, but she still didn’t understand why Niki wouldn’t talk to anyone. One day, Niki explained herself, “I don’t really know anyone here except you, and I’m kind of shy. I know everybody thinks I’m a snob, but I’m not. I just don’t know what to say to people.” Vanessa had an idea for helping Niki. “If my other friends get to know you,” she told Niki, “they’ll like you, too. So why don’t you sit with my friends and me at lunch tomorrow? Then everybody will see what you’re like.” Niki was very uncertain, but she was tired of everyone thinking she was a snob. So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends. The next day, Vanessa and Niki waited in the dining hall for Vanessa’s other friends. Niki was nervous, but Vanessa said, “Don’t worry. Just be yourself. You’ll be fine.” At last, everyone else arrived. One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, “Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.” Niki’s eyes filled with tears. Vanessa took a breath and then said, “I’m sitting with Niki because she’s my friend and she’s nice. Don’t judge (判断) people before you know them. How about finding out for yourself instead of believing every rumor you hear?” For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table. At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking. By the time lunch was over, Niki realized that Vanessa was right—all she had to do was to be herself. And what everyone else needed to do was to stop believing rumors. 1．Why did people think Niki was a snob at first? A．Because she refused to share her notebook. B．Because she liked not to be noticed by others. C．Because she spread rumors about others. D．Because she seldom spoke and others believed the rumor. 2．How did Niki feel when she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa’s friends? A．Excited and confident. B．Angry but active. C．Uncertain but hopeful. D．Shy and worried. 3．What is the correct order of events? ①One of Vanessa’s friends called Niki a snob.        ②Vanessa returned Niki’s notebook. ③The girls talked and understood Niki.            ④Niki explained her shyness. A．②→①→④→③ B．④→②→③→① C．②→④→①→③ D．①→③→②→④ 4．What can we infer (推断) about Vanessa’s friends by the end of the story? A．They thought Vanessa was lying about Niki. B．They realized rumors were not always true. C．They decided to spread new rumors about Niki. D．They refused to accept Niki whatever Vanessa said. 5．What lesson can we learn from the text? A．Every dog has its day. B．Many hands make light work. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Don’t judge a book by its cover. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，围绕Vanessa和Niki的友谊展开，详细叙述了Niki被误解以及最终被大家接受的过程，传递了不要以貌取人的主题。 1．细节理解题。根据“That was mostly because Niki said little, and besides, that was the rumor (谣言) about her.”可知，人们起初认为Niki是势利的人是因为她很少说话，而且有关于她的谣言，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Niki was very uncertain, but she was tired of everyone thinking she was a snob. So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends.”可知，Niki同意和Vanessa的朋友们一起吃午饭时，心情是不确定但又抱有希望的，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“But then, Niki left her notebook on the playground by accident, and Vanessa picked it up and returned it to her.”、“One day, Niki explained herself...”、“One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, ‘Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.’ Niki’s eyes filled with tears.”和“At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking.”可知，先是Vanessa捡到并归还Niki的笔记本，然后Niki向Vanessa解释自己害羞的原因，接着Vanessa的一个朋友称Niki为势利的人，最后女孩们交谈并了解了Niki，所以顺序为②→④→①→③，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table. At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking.”可知，最后Vanessa的朋友们意识到谣言并不总是正确的，故选B。 5．主旨大意题。本文通过讲述Niki被误解为势利的人，最后大家了解她并非如此的故事，告诉我们不要仅凭表面现象或传言就对他人做出判断，选项D“不要以貌取人”符合主旨，故选D。 Do you want to make your life more interesting? Do you want anyone to encourage you to go through the hard time? Do you want anyone to share happiness with you? Do you want anyone to give you advice when you don’t know what to do? If your answers are “Yes”, then make friends. Here is some advice for you. Let others know you. It takes time to make friends. No one can know you well when you meet for the first time. Give you and the new friend enough time to learn about each other well. Differences are important. Some people may think it’s necessary for friends to be the same. However, it’s not always true. Having similarities is nice, but having differences may bring you a lot of surprises. Friends’ friends can be your friends. This is one of the best ways to make new friends. You don’t have to think of ways to know new people. Have a party and ask your friends to bring their friends. Then you may make some new friends. If they’re important, let them know. People want to feel they are important. Show your friends that they are important to you and they will do the same. When they know you need them, they will feel happier and be friendlier to you. Good friends make a difference to you, so try to make more good friends in your life. Remember, it’s never too late to make new friends or contact (联系) your old friends. 1．Why does the writer ask questions at the beginning of the passage? A．To show his or her curiosity (好奇心). B．To know the answers from the readers. C．To bring up the topic (主题). D．To learn about the readers’ advice. 2．What does the underlined word “similarities” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Some things people are happy about. B．Some things that are quite different. C．Some things that are similar in some ways. D．Nothing in common with somebody. 3．Which of the following may the writer agree with (同意)? A．Others can know you well when they meet you for the first time. B．Making friends with your friends’ friends is a good way. C．You should see your friends as the most important people.

A．①②③④⑤/⑥ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①/②③④⑤/⑥ D．①②/③/④⑤/⑥ 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to be a nice person B．How to make friends in life C．Why friends are important D．Where to make good friends 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何交朋友。 1．推理判断题。文章开篇用“Do you want to ...?”系列问题的呈现方式，以及后文围绕“make friends”展开建议的行文逻辑，从而引出“交朋友”这一主题。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Having similarities is nice, but having differences may bring you a lot of surprises.”并结合前文对朋友“相同”和“不同”观点的论述可知，这里“similarities”与“differences”形成对比，所以意为“在某些方面相似的东西”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Friends’ friends can be your friends. This is one of the best ways to make new friends.”可知，朋友的朋友可以成为你的朋友，这是交新朋友的好方法之一。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。根据文章“①引出交友话题→②③④⑤分述交友建议→⑥总结交友意义”的段落内容分布、逻辑层次，因此本文属于“总-分-总”的结构类型。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。文章整体围绕“生活中如何交友”，先引出主题，再给建议，最后总结，因此最佳标题是“如何在生活中交朋友”。故选B。 Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (点头之交), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t miss them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends; you know a little of what they like or dislike, a little about their family, such as your names, you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (恐惧), and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures. 2．If Jeff is your acquaintance and does something bad, what kind of friends are you? A．Pest friends. B．Guest friends. C．Best friends. D．True friends. 3．What can we learn about “guest friends” from the passage? A．They are as close as family members to you. B．They know nothing about your likes or dislikes. C．You don’t talk about deep topics like wishes or fears with them. D．They will never do anything that may hurt you. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②/③④/⑤ D．①/②/③/④⑤ 5．The writer wrote the text mainly to ________. A．teach us how to find best friends. B．warn (告诫；警告) us not to know more about pest friends. C．tell us to value all friendships. D．encourage us to make more friends. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种不同类型的朋友：点头之交、社交伙伴和挚友，并强调了珍视所有友谊的重要性。 1．篇章结构题。根据“Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? ”可知，文章开头通过两个问题引入话题，因此是以提问的方式开篇。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The first kind of friend is an acquaintance ( 点头之交)”和“When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t miss them.”可知，“pest friends”是点头之交，当他们做错事时，你不会想念他们，这正是acquaintance的特点。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“… but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (恐惧)”可知，与“guest friends”不会谈论深层话题，如愿望或恐惧。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。①开头引入话题（提问）；②③④分别介绍三种朋友（pest friends, guest friends, best friends）；⑤结尾总结，强调珍惜所有友谊。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。根据“We should value all friendships and remember all best friends start out as just acquaintances.”可知，作者的写作目的是提醒我们珍惜所有友谊。故选C。 We all know that friends are important in our lives. But how do you last your friendship for long and keep it healthy? Be real and honest (诚实的) with each other. Your friends know you well. Although you are not good at something, they still love you. You may be the best yourself when you’re with your friends. Being honest is the most important thing in a healthy friendship. True friends won’t keep things to themselves and you can trust each other. Have an argument (争论) in a healthy way. Most people think that good friends never fight. In fact, everyone fights. Telling all your ideas to your friends may bring arguments sometimes. But arguments can be good for you as long as you face them in a good way. For example, when you are talking about different ideas or even having a fight, it’s better to keep your voice (声音) low and put yourself in others’ shoes. Be friends with someone else, too. Although you have best friends, it cannot stop you from making new ones. Even your best friends will hope that you could meet new people and try new things with them. That’s because a healthy friendship doesn’t mean you always spend time together. Do you find any problems in your friendship? If so, work hard and face them together. It is believed that walking with a friend in the dark (黑暗) is better than walking by yourself in the day. 1．Which is the most important in a friendship? A．Spending time together. B．Being honest with each other. C．Having arguments in a healthy way. D．Facing problems together. 2．What should a good friend do when having arguments? A．Speak in a low voice. B．Try new things together. C．Talk about the different ideas. D．Make more new friends. 3．Who may find the passage useful? A．Dave—he likes to stay by himself. B．Kate—she always worries about losing her friends. C．Mary—she doesn’t know where to find new friends. D．Sam—he loves to make friends online. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The meaning of friendship. B．Some problems between friends. C．Some ways to have a healthy friendship. D．Different kinds of friendship. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何维持一段健康长久的友谊，强调了朋友之间应彼此诚实、以健康的方式处理分歧，并鼓励人们结交新朋友，共同面对问题。 1．细节理解题。根据“Being honest is the most important thing in a healthy friendship. ”可知，在健康的友谊中，诚实是最重要的。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“For example, when you are talking about different ideas or even having a fight, it’s better to keep your voice (声音) low and put yourself in others’ shoes.”可知，当与朋友发生争论时，应该压低声音，站在对方的角度思考问题。故选A。 3．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了如何让友谊长久并保持健康，包括如何处理矛盾、如何保持信任、如何拓展社交圈等实用建议。对于总是担心失去朋友的Kate来说，这些方法可以帮助她更好地维护友谊，减少焦虑。因此，Kate会觉得这篇文章有用。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据“We all know that friends are important in our lives. But how do you last your friendship for long and keep it healthy?”以及全文可知，文章围绕“如何让友谊长久并保持健康”展开。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出如何让友谊长久且健康这一主题；第二至第四段提出具体建议；最后一段总结升华，强调友谊的价值。故选C。 The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist on yourself (坚持自我),” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (仿效).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 1．According to the author, when he went to college, he expected to ________. A．become a curious reader B．have close friendships with other book lovers C．develop parasocial friendships with book characters D．discuss the meaning of life with his professors at night 2．We can learn from the article that while in college, the author ________. ① found it challenging to fit in ② avoided talking with other students ③ was interested in attending late-night loud parties ④ formed a parasocial friendship with Ralph Waldo Emerson A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 3．According to the article, parasocial friendships include those with ________. ① AI    ② book characters    ③ movie characters ④ people with similar interests    ⑤ people with different interests A．①②③ B．②③④ C．③④⑤ D．①②⑤ 4．Which of the following words from the article is the opposite of the underlined word “reciprocal”? A．Real. B．Curious. C．One-sided. D．Comforting. 5．At the end of the article, the author suggests that people ________. A．replace real friends with AI friends B．read more books to discover like-minded friends C．be open to connecting with people who are different D．only make friends with those who share the same interests 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文讲述作者大学时难以融入集体，形成准社交友谊，并对比其与真实友谊，建议人们敞开心扉交友。 1．第一段提到“When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers”，说明作者期望和爱书的人建立亲密友谊。 2．第一段指出“Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in.”，说明作者难以融入，对应①；第二段写到作者从Ralph Waldo Emerson的文字中获得陪伴，属于准社交友谊，对应④。 3．文中提到人们会和书中、电影中的角色交友，还可以通过AI创造朋友，这些都属于准社交友谊，由此确定①②③正确。 4．第四段提到“But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal.”，两句话形成对比，可知one‑sided是reciprocal的反义词。 5．最后一段建议“don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different”，说明作者建议人们主动接触不同的人。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 6 Friendship 单元话题（友谊）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 For us teenagers, friends play an irreplaceable role in our daily lives. They are the people we share joys and sorrows with, and they always stand by our side when we need support. Unlike family members, friends often understand our thoughts more easily because we grow up in the same environment and face similar challenges, such as schoolwork pressure and peer relationships. A good friend is not just someone who plays with us. They are also our mentors and listeners. When we feel confused about our studies, a friend may share useful learning methods with us. When we are in a bad mood, they will listen to our troubles patiently and encourage us to cheer up. Last month, I struggled a lot with my spoken English. I was too shy to speak in class, and I even wanted to give up. My friend Tom noticed my problem. He suggested that we practise speaking English together every afternoon after school. We talked about our favourite movies, school events and daily lives. Gradually, I became more confident, and my spoken English improved a lot in the latest exam. I felt so grateful to Tom for his help. Building and maintaining a good friendship requires effort from both sides. First, we should be honest with our friends. Lying will hurt the trust between friends. Second, we need to respect each other’s differences. Everyone has their own hobbies and personalities, and we should learn to accept them. Finally, we should be willing to help our friends when they are in trouble. A true friendship can last for a long time if we cherish it. In conclusion, friends are the bright light that guides us along the journey of growth. They make our lives more colourful and meaningful. We should treasure every true friend and keep our friendship alive. 1．Why do friends often understand teenagers’ thoughts more easily? A．Because friends are older than teenagers. B．Because they grow up in the same environment and face similar challenges. C．Because friends have more life experience. D．Because they are good at guessing others’ thoughts. 2．What problem did the writer have last month? A．He failed his English exam. B．He was too shy to speak English in class. C．He couldn’t finish his English homework. D．He lost his English textbook. 3．How did Tom help the writer solve his problem? A．He helped the writer review English grammar. B．He lent his English notes to the writer. C．He suggested practising speaking English together every afternoon. D．He asked the English teacher to help the writer. 4．Which of the following is NOT a way to maintain a good friendship? A．Be honest with friends. B．Respect each other’s differences. C．Lie to friends to avoid conflicts. D．Help friends when they are in trouble. 5．What does the writer compare friends to in the last paragraph? A．A bright light. B．A warm sun. C．A strong bridge. D．A comfortable home. Many teenagers find it hard to say “no” to others. They want to be liked, so they often agree to do things they don’t really want to do. This can cause stress and make them feel unhappy. Sarah, a 14-year-old student, used to have this problem. “Whenever my friends asked me to do something, I always said yes,” she said. “I was afraid that if I said no, they would be angry and wouldn’t like me anymore.” Sarah ended up staying up late to help others with their homework and joining activities she didn’t enjoy. One day, Sarah felt so tired that she couldn’t focus in class. Her teacher noticed and asked what was wrong. After hearing Sarah’s story, the teacher said, “It’s okay to say no sometimes. Your feelings matter too.” Sarah realized that she needed to set boundaries. She started to say no politely but firmly. To her surprise, her friends understood and respected her decision. “Now I feel less stressed,” Sarah said. “I learned that true friends will accept you, even when you say no.” 1．Why did Sarah use to say yes to everything? A．She enjoyed helping others. B．She was afraid her friends wouldn’t like her. C．She had nothing else to do. D．Her teacher asked her to do so. 2．What problem did Sarah face after always saying yes? A．She lost all her friends. B．She felt tired and stressed. C．She failed her exams. D．She argued with her parents. 3．Who helped Sarah realize she could say no? A．Her parents. B．Her friends. C．Her teacher. D．Her classmates. 4．What does the underlined word “boundaries” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．规则 B．边界；界限 C．目标 D．习惯 5．What lesson can we learn from the story? A．We should always help others. B．Saying no is always bad for friendships. C．True friends respect your choices. D．It’s best to do everything alone. Last month, I had a serious fight with my best friend, Lily, and it became the most meaningful lesson in my growing-up journey. We used to share everything—secrets, snacks, and even our dreams. But everything changed when we planned the school art festival together. I was in charge of drawing the poster, and Lily was responsible for collecting materials. I worked hard on the poster for three days, but when I showed it to her, she said it looked too dark and suggested changing the main colors. I got angry immediately. I thought she didn’t understand my effort and didn’t respect my ideas. “You never care about what I want!” I shouted at her and walked away without listening to her explanation. For the next week, I felt lonely and upset. The classroom, which was once full of our laughter, felt empty. I missed her company when I studied and her comfort when I felt sad. Then my mother noticed my bad mood and talked to me. She said, “Growing up means learning to put yourself in others’ shoes. Lily might have good reasons for her suggestion.” Her words made me think a lot. I realized I was too proud and didn’t try to understand Lily. So I decided to apologize to her. The next day, I walked to Lily’s seat and said, “I’m sorry for my rude words. Can we work together again?” Lily smiled and nodded. She told me she suggested changing the colors because she wanted the poster to attract more students. In the end, our poster won the first prize in the art festival. But the real prize for me was the lesson I learned: true friendship needs communication and tolerance. This experience taught me to control my anger and be more understanding. It is a small but important step in my growing up. 1．What happened between the writer and Lily at the beginning of the story? A．They had a fight over the art festival plan. B．They won a prize together. C．They shared secrets happily. D．They finished the poster successfully. 2．Why did the writer get angry with Lily? A．Because Lily didn’t help collect materials. B．Because Lily didn’t respect the writer’s idea and effort. C．Because Lily didn’t want to work with the writer. D．Because Lily thought the poster was too bright. 3．What did the writer’s mother tell her about growing up? A．Growing up means being proud of oneself. B．Growing up means learning to understand others. C．Growing up means winning every competition. D．Growing up means avoiding arguments with friends. 4．How did the writer solve the problem with Lily? A．She asked her mother to talk to Lily. B．She wrote a letter to apologize to Lily. C．She went to Lily and apologized in person. D．She asked the teacher for help. 5．What is the main lesson the writer learned from this experience? A．Winning prizes is the most important in friendship. B．True friendship needs communication and tolerance. C．It’s better to work alone than with others. D．One should never apologize to friends. Should friends be different or the same? We asked some people what they thought. John Green I like to have friends who are like me. I’m quieter than most of the kids in my class, and my best friend David is quiet too. There are some differences, though I’m smarter than David. He’s stronger than me. Wu Lei It’s not necessary (必要的) to be the same. I like to have friends who are different from me. My best friend Leo is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports but Leo is more athletic than me. He always beats me at tennis. Also, I’m quieter than he is. Tilly Smith I don’t really care. My best friend is Carol. Carol is very funny and more outgoing than I am. But we both like doing the same things. I don’t think differences are important in a friendship. 1．Both John Green and David are __________. A．outgoing B．quiet C．funny D．boring 2．Who is Tilly Smith’s best friend? A．Wu Lei. B．Leo. C．David. D．Carol. 3．What do Wu Lei and his best friend both like? A．Table tennis. B．Being quiet. C．Sports. D．Reading. 4．How many ideas about friends are mentioned (被提及)? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 5．Which of the following is true? A．There are some differences between John Green and his best friend. B．Wu Lei likes friends who have the same looks as himself. C．Tilly Smith thinks differences are important in a friendship. D．The three students all think friends should have the same habits. A small fight can sometimes break a good friendship. But it can also help people learn and grow. Last month, my classmates Mary and Linda had a serious fight. They argued about a group project. Linda felt Mary didn’t care about their work, and Mary thought Linda was too strict. Both of them felt angry and stressed. They stopped talking to each other. Their teacher, Ms. Wang, gave them useful advice. She asked them to communicate calmly and understand each other’s feelings. She said that it’s normal to have different ideas, but we should learn to deal with conflicts in a right way. Later, Mary and Linda sat down and talked carefully.

Jeff Green: My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror, I’m quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet  too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends  are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good. Huang Lei: It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more. Mary Smith: I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is, “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything.

Last Friday, Lucy sat by herself and felt upset because her best friend, Alice, didn’t speak to her for two days. During the lunch break, Lucy decided to write a note to Alice: “I miss our chats. Did I do anything wrong? Let’s talk after school.” She put it into Alice’s pencil case. When Alice found the note in her pencil case, she read it carefully and realized she had misunderstood (误解) Lucy. Earlier that week, Alice saw Lucy talking to another classmate and thought Lucy was sharing her secret. After school, they met under the old oak tree near the playground. Autumn leaves fell down under their feet. “I thought you told others about my birthday surprise,” Alice said. Lucy explained, “I was actually asking for advice on your gift! I know your favourite colours are blue and silver. I just wanted your gift to be perfect.” Alice’s face turned red and tears filled her eyes. “I’m so sorry! I just…” Her voice sounded a little bit strange. Lucy hugged her tightly. “Never! But next time, just ask me, okay?” Then they promised each other they would communicate openly next time. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Lucy asked. “I was afraid of losing you,” Alice said. The girls walked home together, their laughter mixing with rustling (沙沙作响的) leaves. From that day, they promised to share their feelings first.

Even twins may be quite different from each other, such as personalities, hobbies, friends, etc. Emma and Ella are good examples. ②Emma, an extrovert, enjoys trying new things and playing with many friends. Anna and she head to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, she hangs out with Judy, eating and riding. At school, Lily is her best friend. She doesn’t spend much time with Lily over the weekends because Lily likes to play video games at home alone. She is cool with it because she can visit other friends. She values Lily’s friendship a lot because Lily cares about her and often gives great advice on her problems. ③Ella, an introvert, thinks nothing is more enjoyable than staying on the sofa by herself with a great book in hand. However, she does also need time with her two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so lively that her jokes bring much joy to Ella’s quiet days. Tina is more like her, and Tina understands her better than she understands herself. They often take a long walk to share their feelings. She loves both her friends and needs their different personalities to make her life colourful. ④From Emma and Ella, we can see that extroverts and introverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities.

These days, finding a dazi is becoming popular with Chinese young people. A dazi is a person we eat with, study with, exercise with or take a trip with, but we haven’t known him or her before. The dazi culture is about finding the right person to do the right activity with. Xiaoyue, a young woman from Ningxia, has met many dazi because of her love for basketball and biking. Having a dazi not only gives her company (陪伴) but also helps her enjoy sports more. These dazi relationships are very different from close friendships. As for close friends, we need to keep in touch closely. With a dazi, you don’t have to do so. Many dazi may not meet again after a trip or a game together. So, many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable. Finding a dazi shows that Chinese young people want clearer boundaries (界限) in their social relationships. Dazi will not talk or ask a lot about their personal lives. And they hope these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests, or that they can help them to improve themselves. Although finding a dazi has many good points, we should be careful and put our safety first. 1．How might Xiaoyue describe having a dazi? A．Serious. B．Difficult. C．Enjoyable.

A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 4．How does having a dazi affect many young people’s social life? A．More difficult and boring. B．Easier and more comfortable. C．Closer and busier. D．Healthier and warmer. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Some stories of dazi B．How we find a dazi C．Dazi: special close friends D．Dazi: a new popular culture Yu Boya was a famous musician who lived during China’s Spring and Autumn Period.

This was rare, and it made Yu Boya very happy to find someone who truly understood his music. Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi became good friends. They spent lots of time together, talking about music, nature, and life. Their friendship showed that people from different backgrounds can become close if they share common interests. Sadly, Zhong Ziqi got sick and died soon after meeting Yu Boya. Feeling very sad and lonely, Yu Boya believed no one else would understand his music as Zhong Ziqi did.

Niki was new to the school, and Vanessa had thought she was a snob (势利的人). That was mostly because Niki said little, and besides, that was the rumor (谣言) about her. But then, Niki left her notebook on the playground by accident, and Vanessa picked it up and returned it to her. Then the two girls started to talk, and they got to know each other. Now Vanessa knew that Niki wasn’t a snob, but she still didn’t understand why Niki wouldn’t talk to anyone. One day, Niki explained herself, “I don’t really know anyone here except you, and I’m kind of shy. I know everybody thinks I’m a snob, but I’m not. I just don’t know what to say to people.” Vanessa had an idea for helping Niki. “If my other friends get to know you,” she told Niki, “they’ll like you, too. So why don’t you sit with my friends and me at lunch tomorrow? Then everybody will see what you’re like.” Niki was very uncertain, but she was tired of everyone thinking she was a snob. So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends. The next day, Vanessa and Niki waited in the dining hall for Vanessa’s other friends. Niki was nervous, but Vanessa said, “Don’t worry. Just be yourself. You’ll be fine.” At last, everyone else arrived. One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, “Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.” Niki’s eyes filled with tears. Vanessa took a breath and then said, “I’m sitting with Niki because she’s my friend and she’s nice. Don’t judge (判断) people before you know them. How about finding out for yourself instead of believing every rumor you hear?” For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table. At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking. By the time lunch was over, Niki realized that Vanessa was right—all she had to do was to be herself. And what everyone else needed to do was to stop believing rumors. 1．Why did people think Niki was a snob at first? A．Because she refused to share her notebook. B．Because she liked not to be noticed by others. C．Because she spread rumors about others. D．Because she seldom spoke and others believed the rumor. 2．How did Niki feel when she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa’s friends? A．Excited and confident. B．Angry but active. C．Uncertain but hopeful.

Do you want anyone to encourage you to go through the hard time? Do you want anyone to share happiness with you? Do you want anyone to give you advice when you don’t know what to do? If your answers are “Yes”, then make friends. Here is some advice for you. Let others know you. It takes time to make friends. No one can know you well when you meet for the first time. Give you and the new friend enough time to learn about each other well. Differences are important. Some people may think it’s necessary for friends to be the same. However, it’s not always true. Having similarities is nice, but having differences may bring you a lot of surprises. Friends’ friends can be your friends. This is one of the best ways to make new friends. You don’t have to think of ways to know new people. Have a party and ask your friends to bring their friends. Then you may make some new friends. If they’re important, let them know. People want to feel they are important. Show your friends that they are important to you and they will do the same. When they know you need them, they will feel happier and be friendlier to you. Good friends make a difference to you, so try to make more good friends in your life. Remember, it’s never too late to make new friends or contact (联系) your old friends. 1．Why does the writer ask questions at the beginning of the passage? A．To show his or her curiosity (好奇心).

A．How to be a nice person B．How to make friends in life C．Why friends are important D．Where to make good friends Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (点头之交), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t miss them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends; you know a little of what they like or dislike, a little about their family, such as your names, you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (恐惧), and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures. 2．If Jeff is your acquaintance and does something bad, what kind of friends are you? A．Pest friends. B．Guest friends. C．Best friends. D．True friends. 3．What can we learn about “guest friends” from the passage? A．They are as close as family members to you. B．They know nothing about your likes or dislikes. C．You don’t talk about deep topics like wishes or fears with them. D．They will never do anything that may hurt you. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②/③④/⑤ D．①/②/③/④⑤ 5．The writer wrote the text mainly to ________. A．teach us how to find best friends. B．warn (告诫；警告) us not to know more about pest friends. C．tell us to value all friendships. D．encourage us to make more friends. We all know that friends are important in our lives. But how do you last your friendship for long and keep it healthy? Be real and honest (诚实的) with each other. Your friends know you well. Although you are not good at something, they still love you. You may be the best yourself when you’re with your friends. Being honest is the most important thing in a healthy friendship. True friends won’t keep things to themselves and you can trust each other. Have an argument (争论) in a healthy way. Most people think that good friends never fight. In fact, everyone fights. Telling all your ideas to your friends may bring arguments sometimes. But arguments can be good for you as long as you face them in a good way. For example, when you are talking about different ideas or even having a fight, it’s better to keep your voice (声音) low and put yourself in others’ shoes. Be friends with someone else, too. Although you have best friends, it cannot stop you from making new ones. Even your best friends will hope that you could meet new people and try new things with them. That’s because a healthy friendship doesn’t mean you always spend time together. Do you find any problems in your friendship? If so, work hard and face them together. It is believed that walking with a friend in the dark (黑暗) is better than walking by yourself in the day. 1．Which is the most important in a friendship? A．Spending time together. B．Being honest with each other. C．Having arguments in a healthy way. D．Facing problems together. 2．What should a good friend do when having arguments? A．Speak in a low voice. B．Try new things together. C．Talk about the different ideas. D．Make more new friends. 3．Who may find the passage useful? A．Dave—he likes to stay by himself. B．Kate—she always worries about losing her friends. C．Mary—she doesn’t know where to find new friends. D．Sam—he loves to make friends online. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The meaning of friendship. B．Some problems between friends. C．Some ways to have a healthy friendship. D．Different kinds of friendship. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist on yourself (坚持自我),” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (仿效).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 1．According to the author, when he went to college, he expected to ________. A．become a curious reader B．have close friendships with other book lovers C．develop parasocial friendships with book characters D．discuss the meaning of life with his professors at night 2．We can learn from the article that while in college, the author ________. ① found it challenging to fit in ② avoided talking with other students ③ was interested in attending late-night loud parties ④ formed a parasocial friendship with Ralph Waldo Emerson A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 3．According to the article, parasocial friendships include those with ________. ① AI    ② book characters    ③ movie characters ④ people with similar interests    ⑤ people with different interests A．①②③ B．②③④ C．③④⑤ D．①②⑤ 4．Which of the following words from the article is the opposite of the underlined word “reciprocal”?
