There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (熟人), 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 their 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.

They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins and humans are similar in some ways. How? Talk Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”, a special whistle (啸声). Each dolphin chooses a whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. By using special sounds and body languages, they “talk” to each other about a lot of things — such as their ages, their feelings, and possible dangers. Play Dolphins usually stay together. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun — just like humans. Scientists believe playing together is something only clever animals do. Teamwork Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: they both make plans for getting something they want. For example, dolphins use a smart way to get food.

A dog plays with a cat, a monkey makes friends with a giraffe, and some dolphins even build a good relationship with lions. You may wonder if all the animals’ friendships are sincere (真诚的). Well, the answer is yes. A new study shows that the friendships among water buffaloes (水牛) are truly sincere. A team of scientists from the City University of Hong Kong studied water buffaloes on Lantau Island. This island has a large area of grasslands and wetlands. There are about 120-150 water buffaloes living there. The scientists put cameras (摄像机) at different places of the island to closely watch how the water buffaloes acted. Later, the scientists found that the buffaloes only chose friends with similar characters and interests instead of their ages or sizes.

I paid a visit to it for five days and enjoyed a happy time. Berlin is a big city. In order to make my travel easy, I divided(分开) the city into some areas, and then traveled from area to area. It is a great place for a bike ride instead of walking around. It provides a fast and easy way to move around Berlin, and costs(花费) around 9 Euros per day to rent(租). If you really want to enjoy walking, there is also a free walking tour. It begins at the Brandenburg Gate and lasts 3. 5 hours. It took me through the center of the city, showed me all the highlights(重要的部分) and gave me some history about the city. For me, one of the most important things is to enjoy the local (当地的) delicious food. We can judge(判断) a city on how cheap it is by the food, and the food in Berlin is very cheap. And not just street food, even the restaurants there are a bargain. You can find a lot of meals for less than 5 Euros. Here is a truth for you—the lemons (柠檬) and the fresh vegetables are mouth watering. After this visit, I enjoy Berlin more. Though I may not ever live there, I’d happily go back and visit—over and over again. 1．How can you enjoy a fast and easy way to travel around Berlin? A．Taking a car. B．Walking around. C．Taking the bus. D．Riding a bike. 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bargain”? A．廉价品 B．贵重品 C．简陋的地方 D．高档的地方 3．What can’t you enjoy from the free walking tour? A．All the highlights.

B．The food in Berlin is not very cheap. C．You can rent a bike for about 5 Euros per day. D．The writer divided the city into some parts before traveling. 5．What’s the passage mainly talking about? A．What Berlin looks like. B．Where to go in Berlin. C．How to enjoy a happy trip in Berlin. D．The delicious food in Berlin. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在柏林旅行的经历。 1．第一段说“It provides a fast and easy way to move around Berlin”“It is a great place for a bike ride instead of walking around. ”，这里的“It”指代骑自行车。 2．前文“the food in Berlin is very cheap.”说食物便宜，甚至餐馆也是“a bargain”，意为“便宜货、廉价品”。 3．文章第二段提到“It took me through the center of the city, showed me all the highlights(重要的部分) and gave me some history about the city.”且免费步行游是走路，无法享受骑车的乐趣。其他三项文中均有提及。 4．第一段明确说“I divided the city into some areas, and then traveled from area to area.”所以D是正确的。 5．全文围绕如何在柏林旅行（骑车、步行游、品尝美食）并享受快乐，因此主旨是“如何在柏林享受愉快的旅行”。 （24-25八年级上·重庆·阶段检测）It’s hard to find a person who doesn’t like travelling.

She is 14 and I’m 13.”，Betty13岁，Lily14岁，所以Betty比Lily小一岁。 4．根据“Michael”的描述“Wilson is a quiet boy, but I like talking with friends.”，这里的“I”指的是Michael，说明Michael喜欢和朋友聊天。 5．根据Cindy的描述“She is good at Chinese, but I do well in math.”（她擅长语文，但我数学得好），可推断Cindy数学比Jenny好，故C项正确。 （25-26八年级上·浙江·期中）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 (熟人), 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 their 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, what kind of friends are you? A．Pest friends. B．Guest friends. C．Best friends. D．True friends. 3．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 4．The writer wrote the text mainly to ______. A．teach us how to find best friends B．warn 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．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种不同类型的朋友。 1．细节理解题。根据“Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends?”可知，作者是通过问问题开始这篇文章。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (熟人),”及“That is why they are called ‘pest friends’.”可知，如果Jeff是你的熟人，你们是pest friends。故选A。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文内容可知，第一段引入主题，第二三四段分别介绍了三种朋友，最后一段总结并呼吁珍惜友谊，故本文结构为总分总。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“We should value all friendships and remember all best friends start out as just acquaintances.”可知，我们应该珍惜所有友谊。故选C。 （25-26八年级上·河南郑州·期中）Many people say dolphins are clever. They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins and humans are similar in some ways. How? Talk Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”, a special whistle (啸声). Each dolphin chooses a whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. By using special sounds and body languages, they “talk” to each other about a lot of things — such as their ages, their feelings, and possible dangers. Play Dolphins usually stay together. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun — just like humans. Scientists believe playing together is something only clever animals do. Teamwork Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: they both make plans for getting something they want. For example, dolphins use a smart way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound or an action to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. With the dolphins’ help, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins do this? Because they can eat some fish that run out from the net. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How many ways are dolphins similar to humans according to the passage? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four.

A dog plays with a cat, a monkey makes friends with a giraffe, and some dolphins even build a good relationship with lions. You may wonder if all the animals’ friendships are sincere (真诚的). Well, the answer is yes. A new study shows that the friendships among water buffaloes (水牛) are truly sincere. A team of scientists from the City University of Hong Kong studied water buffaloes on Lantau Island. This island has a large area of grasslands and wetlands. There are about 120-150 water buffaloes living there. The scientists put cameras (摄像机) at different places of the island to closely watch how the water buffaloes acted. Later, the scientists found that the buffaloes only chose friends with similar characters and interests instead of their ages or sizes. They don’t care about the power of other buffaloes or depend on (依靠) stronger friends to protect themselves. The study also shows there are several character types among the buffaloes. Some are careful and often watch out for the conditions (环境) around them, some are shy and try to stay away from others, while others are active and like to play around. The buffaloes with similar characters and interests often eat together, rest together, and invite each other to play and roll around on the grassland. The scientists say beautiful friendships among water buffaloes make their lives longer, healthier and happier. As humans, we can learn from them and develop warm and close friendships. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By giving some numbers.

B．Their ages and sizes. C．Their characters and interests. D．Their sizes and interests. 4．The underlined word “some” in paragraph 4 refers to (指代) ________. A．buffaloes B．character types C．studies D．scientists 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了动物之间也存在真挚的友谊，并以香港城市大学科学家对水牛的研究为例，说明了水牛选择朋友的特点和友谊带来的好处。 1．文中开头提到“A dog plays with a cat, a monkey makes friends with a giraffe, and some dolphins even build a good relationship with lions.”，通过列举不同动物间交友的例子引入主题。 2．第二段提到“A team of scientists from the City University of Hong Kong studied water buffaloes on Lantau Island...The scientists put cameras at different places of the island to closely watch how the water buffaloes acted.”，介绍了科学家开展研究的地点、对象和方法，回答了“科学家如何开展研究”这一问题。 3．文中第三段提到“the buffaloes only chose friends with similar characters and interests instead of their ages or sizes.”，说明水牛交友时最重要的是性格和兴趣。 4．文中第四段提到“The study also shows there are several character types among the buffaloes.
