Research suggests that while social media can help bridge geographical gaps and allow us to keep track of old acquaintances,it often encourages weak ties.We scroll through curated highlights of others'lives, mistaking passive observation for genuine interaction.This phenomenon can lead to what sociologists call "ambient awareness"-a sense of knowing about others without truly knowing them.The superficial nature of many online exchanges can leave individuals feeling more disconnected than ever,as the quantity of connections replaces the quality of authentic relationships. Yet,it would be a mistake to view digital tools as inherently detrimental to fiiendship.For many, particularly those in marginalized communities or with limited mobility,the internet provides a vital lifeline.It enables them to find like-minded individuals,share experiences,and build support networks that would be impossible offline.The key,therefore,is not to reject digital communication but to use it intentionally.Maintaining a friendship requires effort,whether through a thoughtful message,a shared virtual experience,or,crucially,transitioning an online bond into a meaningful offline connection. The challenge for our generation is to learn how to leverage the power of digital tools without being enslaved by them.We must recognize that while a"like"is a form of acknowledgement,it is not a substitute for a heartfelt conversation.The most resilient fiiendships are built on a foundation of shared vulnerability,mutual support,and consistent effort,elements that transcend the medium of communication.In the end,the digital age has not redefined the core of friendship;it has merely changed the stage on which it is performed ()1.What is the main paradox of modern friendship mentioned in the passage? A.It is easier to make friends but harder to keep them B.People have more online friends yet feel lonelier. C.Digital tools connect people but also cause isolation. D.Online fiiends are more supportive than real-life fiiends ()2.What does the underlined phrase"ambient awareness"in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A.A deep understanding of a fiiend's life. B.A constant wony about others'opinions C.A vague sense of being connected with others. D.A clear recognition of social media's dangers. ()3.What is the author's attitude towards digital communication tools? A.Highly critical and negative B.Completely positive and supportive C.Objective and balanced. D.Indifferent and unconcemned. ()4.According to the passage,which of the following is the most important factor in building resilient friendships? A.The frequency of online interactions. B.The number of shared interests. C.The effort and sincerity invested in the relationship D.The use of the most advanced communication technology. Passage 2 The concept of the"clique"has long been a defining feature of adolescent social life,characterized by tightly-knit groups with exclusive membership.For generations,these small,stable circles of close fiends provided a sense ofidentity and security.One knew exactly who one's fiiends were,and social hierarchies were relatively fixed.However,the rise of pervasive social media has seemingly dismantled this traditional model,ushering in a new era of fluid,networked fiiendships. Today,an adolescent's social landscape is less a tight circle and more a sprawling network of overlapping connections called a "networked public."Instead of belonging to a single,clearly-defined fiiend group, teens now navigate a complex web of ties that are often interest-based rather than location-based.A teenager might have a group of fiiends from a sports team,another from an online gaming community, and yet another from a school club.These networks are highly dynamic;they can expand,contract,and evolve with remarkable speed as interests change. A landmark study published in the journal "American Sociological Review"tracked the friendship patterns ofhundreds of high school students over three years.The findings were telling.While the number of weak ties"an individual had increased significantly-interactions with acquaintances and casual friends-the number of"strong ties"remained remarkably stable.Most adolescents still had only a small handful of truly close,confidant-style friends,typically not exceeding five.This core group served as their primary source of emotional support,mirroring the function of the traditional clique. This suggests a crucial adaptation.The digital environment does not eradicate the deep-seated human need for a few,trusted companions.Instead,it creates a scaffolding of weak ties that provides informational and social resources-like leaming about a new hobby or getting help with homework- while the innermost circle remains the bedrock of emotional resilience.The skill for modern friendship is not in collecting the most connections,but in curating and nurturing a balanced social portfolio:a wide network for opportunity and a tight inner circle for comfort. ()1.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To criticize the negative effects of social media on teenage fiiendships. B.To describe the transformation of adolescent fiiendship structures C.To compare the advantages of cliques over networked fiiendships. D.To argue that traditional cliques have completely disappeared. ()2.How does the author describe a"networked public"in paragraph 2? A.A large,stable group with fixed membership B.A fluid web of connections based on shared interests. C.A small,exclusive circle of close fiiends. D.A hierarchy of social relationships. ()3.What was a key finding of the study mentioned in the passage? A.Most students reported having more than ten close friends. B.Social media significantly increased the number of strong ties. C.The number of close fiiends remained consistently low,despite a rise in weak ties D.Cliques had been completely replaced by online networks. ()4.The word "scaffolding"in the last paragraph is used to suggest that weak ties: A.are the most important part of a social structure B.are temporary and easily broken. C.provide a supporting structure for a person's social life D.replace the need for close friends. ()5.What skill for modern fiiendship is emphasized in the concluding paragraph? A.Maximizing the number of friends one has. B.Physically meeting friends as often as possible C.Balancing a wide network with a close inner circle D.Prioritizing online friendships over in-person ones. 二、完形填空 I was always a shy child,content with my books and my own company.My first year at high school was a lonely one.I had acquaintances,but no real friends.I often felt invisible,like a ghost drifting through the hallways.Then,in my second year,everything changed. We were assigned a group project in history class,and I was paired with a girl named Chloe.She was the opposite of me:outgoing,popular,and always laughing.I was terified.How could I possibly work with someone so vibrant?I expected our collaboration to be a(n)(1) To my surprise,Chloe was incredibly kind and patient.On our first meeting,we went to the library to research.She didn't try to take the lead or boss me around.Instead,she asked my opinion,genuinely interested in my ideas.I found myself slowly opening up,sharing my passion for historical(2) She listened without judgment.In the weeks that followed,a strange thing happened.The project,which I had dreaded,became the highlight of my day.We would laugh over old photographs and argue good- naturedly about which primary source was more(3) Our differences no longer felt like a banrier but a source of strength. Through Chloe,I learned the true meaning of friendship.It wasn't about having the same interests or being the same person.It was about mutual(4) and the willingness to see the world from another's perspective.A fiiend in need is a fiend indeed,as the saying goes,but Chloe showed me that a friend can also be a fiiend in joy,a friend in discovery. We've been best friends for ten years now.She has been my constant support,my cheerleader,and my confidante.I would be a completely different person if not for her.The project we worked on is long forgotten,but the (5) we built is forever. 1.A.adventure B.disaster C.relief D.success 2.A.textbooks B.novels C.figures D.newspapers 3.A.reliable B.difficult C.boring D.strange 4.A.respect B.competition C.avoidance D.suspicion 5.A.reputation B.career C.bond D.agreement It was a rainy Tuesday aftemnoon.I was feeling particularly (6) having just received a poor grade on a math test.As I sat in the comer of the school cafe,staring blankly at my uneaten sandwich,a boy I vaguely knew came over to my table.His name was Sam.He didn't say much.He just sat down across from me and placed a small,slightly squashed chocolate bar on the table. I looked up,confused."I figured you could use some sugar,"he said with a small,(7) smile. "Bad test?"I nodded,surprised by his perception.We talked for a while.He told me about his own struggles with math and how he once failed a major exam.He didn't offer any grand solutions or pitiful sympathy.He just listened.He made me feel(8) that I wasn't alone in my frustration In that moment,a simple gesture of kindness (9) a gap I didn't even know I had built.It wasn't a lifelong friendship based on years of shared history,but it was a profound human connection.It taught me that fiendship isn't always a grand epic,sometimes it's just a chocolate bar on a rainy day.It's about small,(10) acts of care 6.A.excited B.curious C.low D.energetic 7.A.mysterious B.comforting C.forced D.pretended 8.A.aware B.anxious C.guilty D.understood 9.A.bridged B.widened C.ignored D.created 10.A.random B.impulsive C.thoughtful D.accidental 三、 阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences. The concept offriendship"has evolved significantly throughout history,shaped by social structures. technology,and philosophical thought.In ancient Greece,fiiendship was not merely a personal affection but a civic virtue.Philosophers like Aristotle categonized it into three types:friendships of utility (based on mutual benefit),friendships of pleasure (based on shared enjoyment),and fiiendships of virtue (based on mutual admiration for each other's character).The last kind,he argued,was the truest and most enduring, as it was rooted in goodness and required a deep understanding of another's soul. Fast forward to the 19th century,the Romantic era placed a new emphasis on emotional intimacy and sentimental bonds.Friendship became a space for profound emotional expression,often immortalized in passionate letters and heartfelt poetry.It was seen as a sacred union of souls,a refuge from a cold and indifferent world.This ideal of a"soulmate"in friendship gained traction. The 20th and 21st centuries have brought about the most dramatic shifts.Urbanization and geographic mobility have made it harder to maintain lifelong,place-based fiiendships.The rise of the internet and social media,initially celebrated for connecting the globe,has paradoxically led to debates about the "death of fiendship."Critics argue that the term"fiiend"has been cheapened by its application to hundreds of online acquaintances.We now have a broader network of ties but potentially shallower connections The modern challenge is,therefore,one of curation.We must be intentional about which relationships we tend to.The ancient Greek focus on shared virtue,the Romantic emphasis on emotional intimacy,and the modemn need for effortful maintenance all remain relevant.The enduring truth is that friendship,in its deepest form,requires time,vulnerability,and a commitment that cannot be replicated by a simple click.It is an active verb,not a passive social media status. 1.According to the passage,which of Aristotle's three types of fiiendship is considered the truest and why? 2.How did the Romantic era change the concept of friendship? 3.What is the main criticism of modemn fiiendship in the digital age? 4.What does the author mean when they say friendship is"an active verb"in the last paragraph? 5.Based on the passage,what key elements from different eras should a person focus on to build deep friendships today? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In today's fast-paced digital world,maintaining close friendships requires conscious effort.A fiiend who constantly posts online updates isn't necessarily someone you can rely on in times of crisis.To build a deep and lasting bond,one must be willing to be vulnerable,which can feel risky.However,it is through this vulnerability that true trust and intimacy (1) established. Technology has made it easier to keep a record of our lives,but it can also make us (2) track of what truly matters in a relationship-genuine care.For instance,a "like"on a photo is not a(3) for a phone call when you're feeling down.A thoughtful gesture,(4) a handwritten letter or a surprise visit,is often more(5)than a dozen digital messages. The joumey of fiiendship is an(6) that requires both give and take.We might (7) the comfort of an old fiend,but we also need to acquire the skill of making new ones.This ability(8) us to expand our social circle and encounter diverse perspectives.Ultimately,the most important thing is to (9) the friendships that add value to our lives.A friend in need is a fiiend indeed,a timeless proverb(10) emphasizes the essence oftrue companionship 2 3. 4 5. 6. 7. 8. 9 10. 五、写作 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Pter来信说他最近刚转到一所新学校，感到很孤独，交不到朋 友。请你给他回一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1.理解他的处境并表示安慰。 2.结合你的经历或感悟，给他提出至少两条交友建议。 3.表达美好的祝愿。 注意： 1.词数100左右： 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯： 3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Peter, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling lonely in your new school.
