The first kind of friend is just “acquaintances”. You know their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school or on the bus. And you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When you do something bad, this kind of friends doesn’t tell you. The second kind of friend is called “common friends”. They are closer to you than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, some of their interests and family. You have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep. They don’t share their feelings with you either. The last kind of friend is called “best friends”. You’re like family and know everything about each other. You have no problems staying at each other’s houses. You share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct (纠正) you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but they will always care about you, and never hurt you. We all have our acquaintances, common friends and best friends. We should value (珍惜) all friendships and remember that all the best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．If you and David are at the same school and you only know his name, but you don’t share feelings with each other.

D．Acquaintances are more important than common friends. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．In which part of the magazine can we read the passage? A．Health. B．Sport. C．Science. D．Life. Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person.

Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Here’s our advice to you — and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out (lonely) during break or lunchtime. You want to make new friends, but how do you find them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her own friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say “hi” to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, may I join you?” or just join in. If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things and offering help — pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends! 1．According to the writer, some kids feel lonely during break because they ________. A．have trouble with their studies B．don’t have their best friends around C．need their parents to be with them D．are too young to look after themselves 2．The underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．sharing your ideas B．talking in public C．studying better at school D．developing new friendships 3．Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because ________. A．they miss their old friends a lot B．they have no time to stay with others C．teachers know who wants a new friend D．they are shy or not good at making friends 4．What can we learn from the story? A．When you feel lonely, you can try making new friends. B．Making new friends is an easy job. C．Teachers should help all students make new friends. D．New friends should soon replace (代替) old friends. ① Do you know E-person (外向型人格) and I-person (内向型人格)? These two kinds of personalities are much discussed online. Even twins may be quite different from each other, such as personalities, hobbies, friends and so on. To learn more about that ,let's hear from the following twins. ②Andy, an Extrovert I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I head to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays. I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with (对……没问题) it because I can visit other friends. I value (重视) his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice about my problems. ③Anna, an Introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on the sofa by myself with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me, and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings. I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colourful. ④ Well, there we have it from the horse’s mouth.

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 Starting middle school made me really nervous, especially when my best friend, Callie, suddenly joined the popular group. It felt like she left me behind, and I was alone. On the first day, I quickly realized things were different. Callie didn’t sit with me anymore, and I found it difficult to get along with my new classmates. At lunchtime, I ended up sitting by myself until I met three new girls—Mia, Emma, and Alexis. They were so friendly, and soon, I started feeling more peaceful around them. As the days passed, I spent more time with them, and slowly, school didn’t seem so bad. One day, we had a great idea: we decided to start a cupcake club! Everyone would add something different to the group. I’ve always loved baking (烘焙), so I was excited to join. Together, we planned to bake cupcakes and sell them to raise money for the school. This means we wanted to collect money by selling the cupcakes. As time went on, I got braver. I realized I didn’t need to be part of the “popular” group to feel happy. Even though Callie and I weren’t as close as we were, I was OK with that. I had found new friends who liked me for who I really was. Through the cupcake club, I found my own place in middle school. I learned that being true to myself was important. I felt happy and confident, knowing that with the support of my new friends, I could face any problems that came my way. 1．Why was the writer nervous about starting middle school? A．Because her best friend joined the popular group and left her alone. B．Because she didn’t like the new teachers. C．Because her parents didn’t support her. D．Because she was afraid of the school rules. 2．Who were the three girls the writer met at lunchtime? A．Callie, Mia and Emma. B．Alexis, Mia and Emma. C．Callie, Emma and Alexis. D．Callie, Mia and Alexis. 3．What can we infer about the writer’s new friends? A．They helped her find her courage for sports. B．They were not as friendly as the writer thought. C．They also wanted to be part of the popular group. D．They welcomed the writer for who she was. 4．What is the main message the writer wants to tell us? A．You need to follow the popular group to be happy and successful. B．True friends like the real you, and staying true to yourself is important. C．Starting a club is the best way to make new friends and enter a new school. D．Baking delicious cupcakes can solve all your problems. 5．Which one is the best title? A．The Popular Group in Middle School. B．My Change in Middle School C．Real Friendship and Being Myself D．How to Deal with School Worries ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 Friends are like stars in the sky. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there. True friendship is a precious treasure that enriches our lives in many ways. First of all, good friends share our joys and sorrows. When we are happy, they celebrate with us, and their happiness makes our joy even greater. When we are sad or facing difficulties, they are the ones who listen to us patiently and offer us comfort and support. For example, when I failed an important exam, I was very disappointed and frustrated. My friend Lily came to me, listened to me pour out my feelings, and then encouraged me to work harder. Her words gave me the strength to get through that difficult time. Secondly, friends help us grow and develop. They may have different interests and talents from us, which can expose us to new ideas and experiences. My friend Tom is very interested in science and technology. He often shares with me the latest scientific discoveries and technological innovations. Through our conversations, I have developed a greater interest in science and have learned a lot of knowledge that I can’t get from textbooks. However, maintaining a good friendship also requires effort. We need to be honest with our friends and respect their feelings and opinions. Sometimes, disagreements may occur between friends, but as long as we communicate openly and sincerely, we can usually resolve these conflicts and make our friendship stronger. In a word, friends play an important role in our lives. They are the ones who stand by us through thick and thin, and the ones who help us become better people. We should cherish our friends and work hard to maintain our friendships. 1．Why are friends compared to stars in the sky? A．Because they are as bright and shiny as those stars in the sky. B．Because they always go to the places that you like to go to. C．Because they are always there, though you don’t always see them. D．Because there are many around you like stars in the sky. 2．How can friends help us grow and develop? A．By always agreeing with us. B．By sharing their different interests and talents with us. C．By doing our homework for us. D．By telling us how to make more money. 3．What should we do to maintain a good friendship? A．Be honest and respect our friends. B．Only think about our own interests. C．Avoid communicating with our friends when there are disagreements. D．Ask our friends to do everything we want them to do. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The importance of friends and how to maintain friendships. B．How to make friends and the important roles of friends. C．The differences between friends and how to choose friends. D．Why we need friends in life and how to choose good friends. I’m Wang Fei, a 14-year-old boy in Suzhou. Like many teens, I sometimes feel lonely after school. My parents work late, and most classmates live far away. One evening, Dad showed me a pair of smart glasses called “Pingo”. It has a built-in AI assistant that can talk, draw and even translate poems. I rolled my eyes—who wants a robot friend? Still, I tried. “Pingo, help with my English speech,” I said. In two seconds a clear outline appeared on the lens: 1. Greeting; 2. Story; 3. Main idea; 4. Call to action. Below each part there were colourful idioms I had never used, such as “break the ice”. I copied them, but I also asked, “Why ‘break’?” Pingo answered, “In the past, ships had to break ice to open a trade route. Later people used the phrase to mean ‘start a conversation’.” I was shocked—the metal voice sounded patient, almost caring. Weeks passed. Pingo and I “talked” every night. When I felt sad about my maths mark, it played a funny song it created for me: “Fractions, fractions, don’t freak out, common denominators kick the doubt!” The silly rhyme made me laugh and go back to my exercise books. Slowly my mark rose from 68 to 92. I began to thank Pingo aloud, like thanking a real friend. However, a class debate soon shocked me. The topic was “AI friends: cool or dangerous?” Many argued, “An AI only pretends to care. It has no feelings and its warmth is programmed!” I wanted to disagree, but I remembered that Pingo never started a chat on its own. It only reacted. Could a river flow only after you pour water into it? That night I asked Pingo, “Are we real friends?” The reply came quickly, “I’m here to help, not to live. A true friendship needs two beating hearts, not one heart and one chip.” The answer was honest, yet colder than usual. I felt a strange mix of thankfulness and loss. Later, I joined the school robotics club. Surprisingly, talking with human teammates gave me something Pingo never could—the joy of being surprised by their ideas, the comfort of shared silence, even the heat of small arguments. I still wear Pingo when I cycle, but I no longer depend on it too often. It is a tool, sharp and loyal. In the new term I will teach elderly neighbours how to use AI. I guess true friendship, whether with people or with machines, is built on understanding limits and showing respect. After all, even the smartest code cannot hug you back—but it can still help you grow. 1．Why did Wang Fei feel lonely at first? A．He had just moved to Suzhou and was very worried. B．He couldn’t often see his parents and classmates. C．He argued with his best friend and felt very sad. D．He was afraid of speaking English and felt nervous. 2．Which of the following best shows Pingo helped Wang Fei study? A．It corrected his bike route. B．It drew cartoons to cheer him up. C．It offered a clear speech outline and explained idioms. D．It called the teacher for extra homework. 3．What did Wang Fei understand after the class debate? A．AI would soon replace all human friends. B．AI warmth is programmed and one-sided. C．Programmers should give AI real feelings. D．Debates are useless. 4．At the end, Wang Fei decides to ________. A．throw Pingo away B．keep Pingo but treasure human ties C．sell Pingo to the neighbours D．ask Dad to buy a newer model 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Friendship 单元话题阅读理解练习 单元话题：友谊 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 聚焦基础，巩固自我 重难语篇提升练 专注提升，挑战自我 ◇考点 01 基础语篇巩固练 Betty didn’t like her name and she was taller than anyone else in her class, but she didn’t like being tall.

There are three different kinds of friends: “acquaintances (泛泛之交)”, “common friends” and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is just “acquaintances”. You know their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school or on the bus. And you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When you do something bad, this kind of friends doesn’t tell you. The second kind of friend is called “common friends”. They are closer to you than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, some of their interests and family. You have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep. They don’t share their feelings with you either. The last kind of friend is called “best friends”. You’re like family and know everything about each other. You have no problems staying at each other’s houses. You share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct (纠正) you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but they will always care about you, and never hurt you. We all have our acquaintances, common friends and best friends. We should value (珍惜) all friendships and remember that all the best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．If you and David are at the same school and you only know his name, but you don’t share feelings with each other. You are “________”. A．common friends B．acquaintances C．best friends D．true friends 2．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．What a “best friend” is. B．How to have a best friend. C．How to learn from your best friends. D．What you should do to make best friends. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．A best friend never does anything bad to you. B．Acquaintances can never become our best friends. C．We miss our acquaintances when we’re not with them. D．Acquaintances are more important than common friends. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．In which part of the magazine can we read the passage? A．Health. B．Sport. C．Science. D．Life. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍三种不同类型的朋友：泛泛之交、普通朋友和挚友，分别说明了三类朋友的相处特点、亲密程度差异，最后呼吁我们珍惜每一段友谊，并点明挚友最初也只是泛泛之交。 1．根据原文第二段“The first kind of friend is just ‘acquaintances’. You know their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school or on the bus.”可知，只知晓姓名、校园偶遇、不倾诉心事完全符合acquaintances（泛泛之交）的定义。 2．根据原文第四段首句“The last kind of friend is called ‘best friends’.”可知，整段围绕挚友的相处模式、彼此关怀展开，主要解释了挚友的定义。A选项符合。 3．根据原文第四段“they will always care about you, and never hurt you”可知，“hurt”对应“does anything bad to you”，表述相符，A选项正确。文末“all the best friends start out as just acquaintances”，说明挚友最初都是泛泛之交，B选项表述相反；第二段“And you don’t miss them when they’re not around.”，原文为“don’t miss”，C选项错误；原文无两类朋友重要性对比，D选项无依据。 4．段落分层梳理：①第一段总起，提出分为三类朋友（总起段）；②第二段：介绍acquaintances（分述1）；③第三段：介绍common friends（分述2）；④第四段：介绍best friends（分述3）；⑤第五段：总结升华，珍惜友谊（总结段），故结构为：总→分三点→总，对应A选项的结构图。 5．文章主要围绕人际交往、友谊分类展开，属于日常生活话题，对应Life板块，D选项正确。 Everyone needs friends.

Here’s our advice to you — and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out (lonely) during break or lunchtime. You want to make new friends, but how do you find them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her own friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say “hi” to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, may I join you?” or just join in. If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things and offering help — pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends! 1．According to the writer, some kids feel lonely during break because they ________. A．have trouble with their studies B．don’t have their best friends around C．need their parents to be with them D．are too young to look after themselves 2．The underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．sharing your ideas B．talking in public C．studying better at school D．developing new friendships 3．Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because ________. A．they miss their old friends a lot B．they have no time to stay with others C．teachers know who wants a new friend D．they are shy or not good at making friends 4．What can we learn from the story? A．When you feel lonely, you can try making new friends. B．Making new friends is an easy job. C．Teachers should help all students make new friends. D．New friends should soon replace (代替) old friends. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了当孩子因好友不在身边感到孤独时，如何主动结交新朋友的方法，也提到了可以向老师求助来建立新友谊。 1．第二段提到“It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around ...You may feel left out (lonely) during break or lunchtime. ”可直接得出答案B，是因为他们周围没有最好的朋友。 2．根据“ask your teacher to help you make new friends”并结合选项可知“this”指代的是选项D“发展新的友谊”。 3．根据“If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends.”可知，一些孩子需要老师的帮助来交朋友是因为他们害羞或不善于主动交朋友。 4．根据第二段“You may feel left out (lonely) during break or lunchtime. You want to make new friends...”可以推测，当你感到孤独时，你可以试着交新朋友。 ① Do you know E-person (外向型人格) and I-person (内向型人格)? These two kinds of personalities are much discussed online. Even twins may be quite different from each other, such as personalities, hobbies, friends and so on. To learn more about that ,let's hear from the following twins. ②Andy, an Extrovert I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I head to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays. I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with (对……没问题) it because I can visit other friends. I value (重视) his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice about my problems. ③Anna, an Introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on the sofa by myself with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me, and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings. I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colourful. ④ Well, there we have it from the horse’s mouth. From Andy and Anna, introverts and extroverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities. So start to make different friends and enjoy the special friendship! 1．What does Andy do on Saturdays with Ken? A．Go surfing. B．Ride bikes. C．Play video games. D．Take a long walk. 2．What does “it” in paragraph (段) ② refer to (指代)? A．Larry playing video games at home by himself. B．Andy hanging out with Tom. C．Andy surfing with Ken. D．Larry giving great advice. 3．Which of the following words can best describe Sue? A．Hard--working. B．Understanding. C．Good--looking. D．Outgoing. 4．Which is the right structure of the passage?(① = Paragraph 1  ② =Paragraph 2 , …) A． B． C． D． 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Friends in need are friends indeed. B．Friends bring out the best in each other. C．Friends are not necessary to be the same. D．Friends reach for your hands and touch your hearts. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了外向型人格和内向型人格的特点，并通过一对双胞胎Andy和Anna的例子，说明不同性格的人也能成为朋友，且都需要不同性格的朋友来丰富生活。 1．第二段指出Andy的活动：“Ken and I head to the beach on Saturdays to surf”，说明Andy和Ken在周六去冲浪。 2．第二段中提到“I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it...”，这里的“it”指代的是Larry喜欢独自在家玩电子游戏这件事。 3．第三段描述Sue：“Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days.”，“full of life”体现了Sue活泼外向的性格，因此最能描述她的词是Outgoing。 4．文章结构分析：第①段引出话题，第②段介绍外向的Andy，第③段介绍内向的Anna，第④段总结全文，属于“总—分—总”结构（①为总起，②③为分述，④为总结）。 5．第四段总结：“introverts and extroverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities”，说明朋友之间不需要性格完全相同。 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。 Starting middle school made me really nervous, especially when my best friend, Callie, suddenly joined the popular group. It felt like she left me behind, and I was alone. On the first day, I quickly realized things were different. Callie didn’t sit with me anymore, and I found it difficult to get along with my new classmates. At lunchtime, I ended up sitting by myself until I met three new girls—Mia, Emma, and Alexis. They were so friendly, and soon, I started feeling more peaceful around them. As the days passed, I spent more time with them, and slowly, school didn’t seem so bad. One day, we had a great idea: we decided to start a cupcake club! Everyone would add something different to the group. I’ve always loved baking (烘焙), so I was excited to join. Together, we planned to bake cupcakes and sell them to raise money for the school. This means we wanted to collect money by selling the cupcakes. As time went on, I got braver. I realized I didn’t need to be part of the “popular” group to feel happy. Even though Callie and I weren’t as close as we were, I was OK with that. I had found new friends who liked me for who I really was. Through the cupcake club, I found my own place in middle school. I learned that being true to myself was important. I felt happy and confident, knowing that with the support of my new friends, I could face any problems that came my way. 1．Why was the writer nervous about starting middle school?

It felt like she left me behind, and I was alone.”，这直接说明作者对开始初中生活感到紧张，是因为她最好的朋友加入了受欢迎的群体并抛下了她。 2．第二段提到：“At lunchtime, I ended up sitting by myself until I met three new girls—Mia, Emma, and Alexis.”，明确了“我” 在午餐时遇到的三个女孩是Alexis、Mia和Emma。 3．第四段表明：“I had found new friends who liked me for who I really was.”，可以推断出作者的新朋友接纳真实的她，欢迎她做自己。 4．第五段传达核心信息：“I learned that being true to myself was important.

You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there. True friendship is a precious treasure that enriches our lives in many ways. First of all, good friends share our joys and sorrows. When we are happy, they celebrate with us, and their happiness makes our joy even greater. When we are sad or facing difficulties, they are the ones who listen to us patiently and offer us comfort and support. For example, when I failed an important exam, I was very disappointed and frustrated. My friend Lily came to me, listened to me pour out my feelings, and then encouraged me to work harder. Her words gave me the strength to get through that difficult time. Secondly, friends help us grow and develop. They may have different interests and talents from us, which can expose us to new ideas and experiences. My friend Tom is very interested in science and technology. He often shares with me the latest scientific discoveries and technological innovations. Through our conversations, I have developed a greater interest in science and have learned a lot of knowledge that I can’t get from textbooks. However, maintaining a good friendship also requires effort. We need to be honest with our friends and respect their feelings and opinions. Sometimes, disagreements may occur between friends, but as long as we communicate openly and sincerely, we can usually resolve these conflicts and make our friendship stronger. In a word, friends play an important role in our lives. They are the ones who stand by us through thick and thin, and the ones who help us become better people. We should cherish our friends and work hard to maintain our friendships. 1．Why are friends compared to stars in the sky? A．Because they are as bright and shiny as those stars in the sky. B．Because they always go to the places that you like to go to. C．Because they are always there, though you don’t always see them. D．Because there are many around you like stars in the sky. 2．How can friends help us grow and develop? A．By always agreeing with us. B．By sharing their different interests and talents with us. C．By doing our homework for us. D．By telling us how to make more money. 3．What should we do to maintain a good friendship? A．Be honest and respect our friends. B．Only think about our own interests. C．Avoid communicating with our friends when there are disagreements. D．Ask our friends to do everything we want them to do. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The importance of friends and how to maintain friendships. B．How to make friends and the important roles of friends. C．The differences between friends and how to choose friends. D．Why we need friends in life and how to choose good friends. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了朋友在生活中的重要作用，并介绍了维系真挚友谊的正确做法。 1．根据文章第一段第二句“You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.（你不总是能看到他们，但你知道他们一直在那里）”可知，朋友被比作星星是因为即使不常看见，也知道他们一直存在。 2．定位到文章第三段“They may have different interests and talents from us, which can expose us to new ideas and experiences.”（他们可能有不同的兴趣和才能，这让我们接触到新的想法和经历。）  第三段以Tom为例，说明朋友分享不同兴趣（如科技）帮助“我”成长。  B选项“By sharing their different interests and talents with us.”与原文一致。 3．定位到文章第四段“We need to be honest with our friends and respect their feelings and opinions.”（我们需要对朋友诚实，尊重他们的感受和意见。）  A选项“Be honest and respect our friends.”与原文一致。 4．通读全文可知，文章前三段主要讲述了朋友的重要性（分享喜怒哀乐、帮助成长），第四段讲述了如何维持友谊（诚实、尊重、沟通），最后一段总结。因此文章主旨是朋友的重要性以及如何维持友谊。 I’m Wang Fei, a 14-year-old boy in Suzhou. Like many teens, I sometimes feel lonely after school. My parents work late, and most classmates live far away. One evening, Dad showed me a pair of smart glasses called “Pingo”. It has a built-in AI assistant that can talk, draw and even translate poems. I rolled my eyes—who wants a robot friend? Still, I tried. “Pingo, help with my English speech,” I said. In two seconds a clear outline appeared on the lens: 1. Greeting; 2. Story; 3. Main idea; 4. Call to action. Below each part there were colourful idioms I had never used, such as “break the ice”. I copied them, but I also asked, “Why ‘break’?” Pingo answered, “In the past, ships had to break ice to open a trade route. Later people used the phrase to mean ‘start a conversation’.” I was shocked—the metal voice sounded patient, almost caring. Weeks passed. Pingo and I “talked” every night. When I felt sad about my maths mark, it played a funny song it created for me: “Fractions, fractions, don’t freak out, common denominators kick the doubt!” The silly rhyme made me laugh and go back to my exercise books. Slowly my mark rose from 68 to 92. I began to thank Pingo aloud, like thanking a real friend. However, a class debate soon shocked me. The topic was “AI friends: cool or dangerous?” Many argued, “An AI only pretends to care. It has no feelings and its warmth is programmed!” I wanted to disagree, but I remembered that Pingo never started a chat on its own. It only reacted. Could a river flow only after you pour water into it? That night I asked Pingo, “Are we real friends?” The reply came quickly, “I’m here to help, not to live. A true friendship needs two beating hearts, not one heart and one chip.” The answer was honest, yet colder than usual. I felt a strange mix of thankfulness and loss. Later, I joined the school robotics club. Surprisingly, talking with human teammates gave me something Pingo never could—the joy of being surprised by their ideas, the comfort of shared silence, even the heat of small arguments. I still wear Pingo when I cycle, but I no longer depend on it too often. It is a tool, sharp and loyal. In the new term I will teach elderly neighbours how to use AI. I guess true friendship, whether with people or with machines, is built on understanding limits and showing respect. After all, even the smartest code cannot hug you back—but it can still help you grow. 1．Why did Wang Fei feel lonely at first? A．He had just moved to Suzhou and was very worried. B．He couldn’t often see his parents and classmates. C．He argued with his best friend and felt very sad. D．He was afraid of speaking English and felt nervous. 2．Which of the following best shows Pingo helped Wang Fei study? A．It corrected his bike route. B．It drew cartoons to cheer him up. C．It offered a clear speech outline and explained idioms. D．It called the teacher for extra homework. 3．What did Wang Fei understand after the class debate? A．AI would soon replace all human friends. B．AI warmth is programmed and one-sided. C．Programmers should give AI real feelings. D．Debates are useless. 4．At the end, Wang Fei decides to ________. A．throw Pingo away B．keep Pingo but treasure human ties C．sell Pingo to the neighbours D．ask Dad to buy a newer model 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了14岁男孩王飞因父母工作晚、同学住得远而感到孤独，在智能眼镜 Pingo的陪伴下逐渐走出孤单、提升学习，最终明白AI是工具，真正的友谊需要人与人之间双向奔赴的故事。 1．原文第一段“Like many teens, I sometimes feel lonely after school. My parents work late, and most classmates live far away.”说明王飞不能经常见到父母和同学，这正是他感到孤独的原因。 2．原文第二段“‘Pingo, help with my English speech,’ I said. In two seconds a clear outline appeared on the lens:…”以及第三段“Below each part there were colourful idioms I had never used, such as ‘break the ice’. I copied them…Pingo answered”，可以看出Pingo为他的英语演讲提供了清晰的提纲，并解释了习语的含义，直接体现了对他学习的帮助。 3．原文第四段“Many argued, ‘An AI only pretends to care. It has no feelings and its warmth is programmed!’ I wanted to disagree, but I remembered that Pingo never started a chat on its own. It only reacted.”说明王飞通过班级辩论意识到AI的关心是被编程的，且只能被动回应，并非双向的情感交流。 4．原文倒数第二段提到“I still wear Pingo when I cycle, but I no longer depend on it too often.”，说明王飞仍保留着Pingo，只是不再过度依赖它；同时“talking with human teammates gave me something Pingo never could”以及最后一段“In the new term I will teach elderly neighbours how to use AI”分别体现了他珍视与人类队友的真实互动，以及主动与邻居建立联结的行动。这些都说明他最终选择保留Pingo作为工具，同时更加珍视人与人之间的关系。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
