B篇 When I started middle school, I felt very nervous because I didn't know anyone in my new class. I am a quiet and shy girl who likes reading books alone in the corner. I thought I would never make a close friend here. Then I met Lin Mei on the first day. She is an outgoing and loud girl who talks to everyone she meets. At first, I thought we could never be good friends because we are so different. She likes going to parties and playing team sports, but I prefer staying at home and reading. I am more serious about study, but she is very humorous and always tells jokes. To my surprise, Lin Mei sat next to me and started talking. She said she noticed I liked the same science fiction books as her. Soon we found we had more differences than similarities, but that didn't stop us from becoming good friends. She teaches me to be more confident and go out to have fun. I help her calm down when she is too noisy and study more carefully. Now we have been best friends for three years. I understand that real friendship doesn't need two people to be the same. Sometimes differences make the friendship stronger than being similar.

All best friends have many similarities to each other. C篇 When you look back at yourself five years ago, you will find how much you have changed. I am 14 years old now, and I can clearly see many differences between the old me and the new me. Five years ago, I was a very lazy boy. I never helped my mom with housework, and I always left my homework to the last minute. I spent most of my free time playing computer games all day. Now I am much more hard-working than before. I help clean the house every weekend, and I finish my homework as soon as I get home from school. I only play games for one hour a week now. I think working hard makes me feel happier than being lazy. Another big difference is my personality. Five years ago, I was very shy and afraid to speak in front of people. When my teacher asked me to answer a question in class, my face always turned red and I couldn't speak a word. Now I am much more outgoing than I was. I join the school speech club and even won first prize in the school speech competition last month. I now enjoy talking with different people and sharing my opinions with them. I know I will still change a lot in the coming years. Growth is a natural part of life, and changes are always necessary for us to become better people.

Even identical twins, who come from the same egg, usually have many differences. Let me introduce you my cousins, Jim and Tim, who are 12-year-old identical twin brothers. When you first see them, you may find it hard to tell them apart. They are both of medium height, and they have the same round face and big blue eyes. But if you look closer, you will find Jim is a little heavier than Tim, because Jim loves eating sweet food more than Tim does. Also, Jim's hair is a little shorter than Tim's. The bigger differences are in their personality. Jim is more serious and quiet. He loves reading science books and doing experiments in his free time. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up. Tim, however, is much more outgoing and funny. He loves telling jokes and playing ball games with his friends. He wants to be a social worker when he grows up, because he likes helping people solve problems in the community. Even their parents say the two boys are totally different people, though they look similar. A recent study from a science magazine says that most identical twins have different personalities and different habits, because they have different experiences as they grow up. That's why even twins can't be the same as each other. Our experiences shape who we are, and no two people have exactly the same life. 16. What kind of twins are Jim and Tim? A. They are not identical twins. B. They are identical twin brothers. C. They are identical twin sisters. D. They come from two different eggs. 17. Which of the following is TRUE about Jim and Tim's appearance? A. Jim is a little thinner than Tim. B. Tim's hair is longer than Jim's. C. They have different colored eyes. D. Jim is much taller than Tim. 18. Why does Tim want to be a social worker? A. Because he likes reading science books. B. Because he is serious and good at solving problems. C. Because he likes helping people in the community. D. Because he loves doing experiments with people. 19. According to the recent study, why do identical twins have differences? A. Because they have different growing experiences. B. Because they come from different eggs. C. Because their parents treat them differently. D. Because they have different genes from birth. 20. What is the best title for this passage? A. How to Tell Twins Apart B. Twins Are Always the Same C. Identical Twins: Same Birth, Different Lives D. The Most Famous Identical Twins in the World 五、单词拼写（每小题1分，共10分） 根据下列句子及所给首字母或提示词，写出单词的正确形式。每空一词。 1. My brother is so l______ that he never makes his bed or cleans his room.

I am a quiet and shy girl who likes reading books alone in the corner. I thought I would never make a close friend here. Then I met Lin Mei on the first day.

To my surprise, Lin Mei sat next to me and started talking. She said she noticed I liked the same science fiction books as her. Soon we found we had more differences than similarities, but that didn't stop us from becoming good friends. She teaches me to be more confident and go out to have fun. I help her calm down when she is too noisy and study more carefully. Now we have been best friends for three years. I understand that real friendship doesn't need two people to be the same.

But that's not true. Even identical twins, who come from the same egg, usually have many differences. Let me introduce you my cousins, Jim and Tim, who are 12-year-old identical twin brothers. When you first see them, you may find it hard to tell them apart. They are both of medium height, and they have the same round face and big blue eyes. But if you look closer, you will find Jim is a little heavier than Tim, because Jim loves eating sweet food more than Tim does. Also, Jim's hair is a little shorter than Tim's. The bigger differences are in their personality. Jim is more serious and quiet. He loves reading science books and doing experiments in his free time. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up. Tim, however, is much more outgoing and funny. He loves telling jokes and playing ball games with his friends. He wants to be a social worker when he grows up, because he likes helping people solve problems in the community. Even their parents say the two boys are totally different people, though they look similar. A recent study from a science magazine says that most identical twins have different personalities and different habits, because they have different experiences as they grow up. That's why even twins can't be the same as each other. Our experiences shape who we are, and no two people have exactly the same life. 16. What kind of twins are Jim and Tim? A. They are not identical twins. B. They are identical twin brothers. C. They are identical twin sisters. D. They come from two different eggs. 17.

Jim is much taller than Tim. 18. Why does Tim want to be a social worker? A. Because he likes reading science books. B. Because he is serious and good at solving problems. C. Because he likes helping people in the community. D. Because he loves doing experiments with people. 19. According to the recent study, why do identical twins have differences? A. Because they have different growing experiences. B. Because they come from different eggs. C. Because their parents treat them differently. D. Because they have different genes from birth. 20. What is the best title for this passage? A. How to Tell Twins Apart B. Twins Are Always the Same C. Identical Twins: Same Birth, Different Lives D. The Most Famous Identical Twins in the World 【文章大意】本文介绍了作者的一对同卵双胞胎表兄弟Jim和Tim。他们外貌相似但性格迥异，一个安静认真想当科学家，一个外向幽默想当社会工作者。文章指出即使同卵双胞胎也会因不同的成长经历而产生差异。 16. 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据"12-year-old identical twin brothers"可知，Jim和Tim是同卵双胞胎兄弟。故选B。 17. 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据"Jim's hair is a little shorter than Tim's"可知，Tim的头发比Jim的长。故选B。 18. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据"because he likes helping people solve problems in the community"可知，Tim想成为社会工作者是因为他喜欢帮助社区里的人。故选C。 19. 【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据"because they have different experiences as they grow up"可知，同卵双胞胎有差异是因为不同的成长经历。故选A。 20. 【答案】C 【解析】主旨大意题。文章介绍了同卵双胞胎Jim和Tim虽然出生相同，但因成长经历不同而性格迥异，说明"相同的出生，不同的人生"。故选C。 五、单词拼写（每小题1分，共10分） 根据下列句子及所给首字母或提示词，写出单词的正确形式。每空一词。 1.
