Weekend plan Volunteering at the city library Volunteering at the city library They have the same plan to help others. Liu Mei and Zhao Lin have been best friends for three years. They believe that true friends do not need to be the same in everything — what matters is that they respect each other and grow together. 11. What is Zhao Lin's personality like according to the table? A. She is quiet and patient. B. She is active and outgoing. C. She likes reading history books. D. She gets up at 6:20 a.m. 12. How is Liu Mei's morning routine different from Zhao Lin's? A. Liu Mei gets up earlier than Zhao Lin. B. Liu Mei cycles to school every day. C. Liu Mei wakes up at 6:40 a.m. D.

They both like history and art. B Can two people with opposite personalities become lifelong friends? Many psychologists say yes, and history provides many famous examples. Take the famous writers C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien as an example. Lewis was quick-minded, talkative and liked writing fast. Tolkien, on the other hand, was much more serious and careful. He could spend weeks choosing a single word for his book. While Lewis encouraged Tolkien to finish his great novel, Tolkien helped Lewis make his ideas clearer and deeper. Without their friendship, the world might never have read their classic stories. Teachers often notice the same thing in their classrooms. Among middle school best friends, many pairs have quite different personalities: one is more outgoing while the other is quieter. Yet when they are asked what keeps them together, most give the same answer: shared values. "Friends do not need to look like mirrors of each other," one teacher explains. "If you are quiet and your friend is active, you can learn to speak up, while your friend can learn to listen. True friendship is not about being identical; it is about making each other better." 14. How was Tolkien different from Lewis according to Paragraph 2? A. Tolkien wrote much faster. B. Tolkien was more talkative. C. Tolkien was more serious and careful. D. Tolkien had a quicker mind. 15. What do teachers notice about many pairs of middle school best friends? A. Most of them have similar hobbies. B. Many of them have different personalities. C. They all went to the same primary school. D. They never have any disagreements. 16. What keeps many best friends together according to the passage? A. Having identical personalities. B. Living close to each other. C. Getting similar exam scores. D. Sharing the same values. 17. What is the main point of the last paragraph? A. Quiet students should avoid outgoing friends. B. Friends should try to become identical. C. Writing novels requires two people. D. Differences between friends can help both grow. C Do you sometimes feel that your parents compare you with other children? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. In China, many teenagers have heard their parents praise "the child next door" — someone who seems smarter, harder-working and more polite than everyone else. Fourteen-year-old Sun Hao used to feel upset whenever his mother mentioned his cousin. "My cousin runs faster than me and always gets higher marks in maths," Sun Hao says. "Every time my mother talked about him, I felt small and useless." Things changed last month when the school organised a parent-child communication workshop. A psychology teacher gave both parents and children a piece of paper and asked them to write down three strengths of each other. When Sun Hao opened his mother's paper, he was shocked. His mother wrote: "Hao is kinder than many boys his age. He always helps his grandmother carry groceries, and he never complains." "I never realized you cared about those things," Sun Hao told his mother with tears in his eyes. His mother hugged him and apologized: "I compared you with your cousin because I wanted you to do better, but I forgot that you are already special in your own way." Comparing yourself with others can be helpful if it pushes you to work harder. But the healthiest comparison is always with yourself: are you kinder, wiser and more confident than you were yesterday? 18. Why did Sun Hao use to feel upset? A. His cousin refused to play with him. B. His mother often compared him with his cousin. C. He lost his maths notebook at school. D. He had no friends in his neighbourhood. 19. What did the teacher ask parents and children to do in the workshop? A. Run a race against each other. B. Compare their marks in every subject. C. Write down three strengths of each other. D. Draw a picture of their families. 20. What did Sun Hao's mother praise him for in her note? A. His high marks in maths exams. B. His kindness and helpfulness. C. His speed in running races. D. His talent for playing music. 21. What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph? A. Stop competing in any school subjects. B. Always try to be better than your cousin. C. Never listen to your parents' advice. D. Compare yourself with who you were yesterday. D Every year, groups of American middle school students visit China on school exchange programmes. They stay with Chinese host families and go to classes with their Chinese partners. At first, both sides were a little shy. "I was worried that we wouldn't have anything to talk about," said David, a student from California. "Our daily lives look so different: Chinese students spend more time on study, while we have more sports after school." However, as soon as the teenagers sat down together, the ice melted. They found that although they lived on opposite sides of the Pacific, their interests were surprisingly similar. They listened to the same pop songs, played the same mobile games, and faced the same worries about growing up. On the last evening, the students gave performances together. Some Chinese students taught their American friends how to use chopsticks and write calligraphy, while the American students taught the Chinese students hip-hop dance moves. "Before I came to China, I thought we had more differences than similarities," David said at the farewell party. "Now I know that beneath the surface, teenagers all over the world are much more alike than we imagine. Understanding our differences makes the world colourful, but discovering our similarities brings our hearts together." 22. What worried David before he arrived in China? A. He might lose his luggage at the airport. B. He would have to take difficult maths exams. C. Chinese food would be too spicy for him. D. He and his partner would have nothing to talk about. 23. What did the Chinese and American teenagers have in common? A. They had the same school timetable. B. They lived in the same city before. C. They both preferred sports to study. D. They shared similar interests and worries. 24. What did the students do on the last evening? A. They visited the Great Wall together. B. They competed against each other in a game. C. They taught each other cultural skills and danced. D. They took an exam about Chinese history. 25. What can we infer from David's words in the last paragraph? A. Cultural exchange helps young people connect deeply. B. Teenagers from different countries can never agree. C. Differences are more important than similarities. D. American students prefer Chinese calligraphy to hip-hop. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分。） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成各小题的任务。 How do you choose a friend? Do you look for someone who is just like you, or someone who is completely different? When middle school students are asked what they value most in friendship, their answers point to three things. First, similarity attracts, but difference enriches. Many students say they first made friends because they liked the same hobbies, such as basketball or drawing. However, most of them say their longest-lasting friendships are with people whose personalities are different from their own. Second, being a good listener is more important than being popular. Most students say they trust a quiet friend who truly listens more than an outgoing friend who talks all the time. Third, character matters more than appearance. When asked which qualities matter most, students choose honesty and a good sense of humour above good looks. Few say they care whether a friend is tall or slim, and hardly anyone would stop being friends with someone just because he or she seemed a little lazy. Many also say they prefer friends who are direct with them rather than those who hide their true feelings. In short, you don't need a friend who agrees with you on everything. You need a friend who respects your differences and makes you feel safe to be yourself. 26. What qualities do students value most in a friend? 27. Why did many students make friends at first? 28. 根据短文内容，完成下面的要点梳理，每空不超过3个词。 Finding 1: Difference makes friendship ①______. Finding 2: A quiet friend who ②______ is more trusted than a talkative friend. 29. What does the writer mean by saying that a friend should "make you feel safe to be yourself"?回答不超过20词 30. Do you prefer a friend who is similar to you or different from you? Why? 回答不少于20词. 四、补全对话（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。） 根据对话内容，从方框内所给的七个选项中选出五个恰当的句子补全对话，使对话意思完整、通顺。 A. What does he look like? B. Do you have anything in common? C. When did you two become friends? D. He is much more outgoing than me. E. Would you like to meet him this afternoon? F. I think differences can make a friendship stronger. G. Where did he move from? Lin Tao: Hi, Wang Wei! I saw you playing basketball with a new boy yesterday. Wang Wei: Yes, he is my new friend Chen Jun. He just moved here last month. Lin Tao: 31. ______ Wang Wei: He is tall with short black hair, and he always wears a bright smile. Lin Tao: Is he in our grade? Wang Wei: Yes, he is in Class Three. He is much more outgoing than me. Lin Tao: 32. ______ Wang Wei: Yes, we do. We both love basketball and science fiction. Lin Tao: 33. ______ Wang Wei: Just two weeks, but we already feel like old friends. Lin Tao: 34. ______ Wang Wei: You are right. Although we are different in many ways, we get along very well. Lin Tao: 35. ______ Wang Wei: Sure! Let's meet at the basketball court at four. 五、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分。） 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。 My cousin Kevin and I are in the same grade, but we look and act completely different.

My best friend is __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案与解析 一、完形填空 1. C 解析：与上文 Zhang Ming was quiet 形成鲜明对比，后文说陈伟周围总有一群朋友，说明陈伟更加外向。A“更安静”、B“更懒惰”、D“更慢”均与语境矛盾。 2. A 解析：由下文 because he had never spoken on stage before 可知，张明之前从未在舞台上说过话，因此感到紧张害怕。B“自豪的”、C“兴奋的”、D“无聊的”都与未上过台的心态不符。 3. A 解析：陈伟鼓励张明时说“你写得比我好得多，你负责写剧本”，write better than 符合语境。B“更差”、C“更快”、D“更难”均不符合搭档合作分工的逻辑。 4. B 解析：although 引导让步，与 seemed playful（看似爱玩）相对立，说明排练时他其实非常认真严肃。A“有趣的”、C“粗心的”、D“害羞的”都不能体现转折对比。 5. D 解析：上文提到陈伟鼓励他大声练习，此处表示在舞台上他说得比自己想象的要清楚得多。B“更有礼貌”、C“更轻声”、A“更不勇敢”都无法说明演出的成功。 6. D 解析：固定搭配 win the first prize 意为“赢得一等奖”，说明短剧表演非常成功。A“教训”、C“工作”、B“票”均不能与 win the first 构成竞赛得奖的搭配。 7. B 解析：根据下文“现在我明白差异能让我们更强”反推，张明过去误以为朋友在各方面必须相似。A“不同的”与句意相反；C“有礼貌的”、D“特别的”均不切题。 8. A 解析：solve a difficulty 意为“解决困难”，表示发挥各自所长就能战胜困难。B“创造”、C“躲藏”、D“拒绝”均不能与 difficulty 构成合理搭配。 9. C 解析：下文说“他映照出你的长处并帮你克服短处”，与教材 Unit 3 核心比喻 A true friend is like a mirror（真朋友如明镜）相呼应。B“小说”、A“画作”、D“窗户”均无此比喻意义。 10. C 解析：总结全文：性格完全不同的两个人有时能成为最亲密的伙伴。A“最穷的”、B“最弱的”、D“最奇怪的”均偏离友谊深厚的主题。 二、阅读理解 11. B 解析：表格信息检索题。第一行 Personality 一栏明确注明赵琳是 Outgoing, active, speaks loud，与表格信息完全对应。 12. A 解析：表格对比题。第三行 Morning routine 显示刘梅 6:20 起床，赵琳 6:40 起床，故刘梅起得更早。 13. A 解析：细节判断题。表格末行 Weekend plan 显示两人周末都在市图书馆做志愿服务（They have the same plan to help others），其余三项均为其中一人的特长或爱好。 14. C 解析：细节题。第二段明确说明 Lewis was quick-minded... Tolkien was much more serious and careful，为原文直接表述。 15. B 解析：细节题。第三段写明在中学生好友中，许多对的性格差异很大：一个更外向，另一个更安静。 16. D 解析：细节题。第三段末句写明，被问到是什么让他们走在一起时，多数人给出同一个答案：共同的价值观（shared values）。 17. D 解析：主旨理解题。末段指出互补的性格能让彼此学会表达与倾听，友谊的核心在于“让彼此变得更好”，这一概括最为贴切。 18. B 解析：细节题。第二段指出每当妈妈提及表哥（跑得比他快、数学成绩比他好）时，孙浩就会感到失落沮丧。 19. C 解析：细节题。第三段写明心理老师给家长和孩子各一张纸，请他们分别写下对方的三个优点（write down three strengths of each other）。 20. B 解析：细节理解题。第三段末句引述母亲的留言：浩浩比许多同龄男孩更善良，总是帮奶奶提杂物且从不抱怨。 21.

D 解析：细节题。第三段说明他们听同样的流行歌、玩同样的手机游戏，并面临相同的成长烦恼（shared similar interests and worries）。 24. C 解析：细节题。第四段指出中国学生教美国朋友用筷子写书法，美国学生教街舞动作，即相互教授文化技能。 25. A 解析：推断题。大卫总结发现世界各地的青少年在内心深处远比想象中相似，跨文化交流拉近了彼此的心灵，这一概括最贴切。 三、任务型阅读 26. Honesty and a good sense of humour. 解析：细节题。短文第三点写明，问到最看重哪些品质时，学生把诚实和幽默排在相貌之前。 27. Because they liked the same hobbies. 解析：细节题。第一点写明许多学生最初交朋友是因为有相同的爱好，如篮球或画画。 28. ① richer / last longer　② truly listens 解析：信息提炼题。第一空依据 difference enriches / longest-lasting；第二空依据 trusted a quiet friend who truly listens，均不超过 3 词。 29. A true friend accepts who you are and never asks you to change. 解析：句意概括题。抓住末段“朋友应让你安心做自己”这一含义，即真正的朋友接纳真实的你，限 20 词以内。 30. 示例：I prefer a friend who is different from me, because we can learn from each other's strengths and see the world in different ways. 解析：开放性表达题。明确给出选择、阐述具体理由，语言流畅且不少于 20 词。 四、补全对话 31. A 解析：后句王伟描述新朋友的外貌特征（高个子、黑色短发、爱笑），说明此处询问外貌，与后句描述完全对应。 32. B 解析：后句王伟回答 Yes, we do，问句必须是一般疑问句；询问“你们有共同之处吗”能精准引出下文“我们都爱篮球和科幻小说”。 33. C 解析：后句回答 Just two weeks，说明此处询问两人成为朋友的时间，一般过去时的问句“你们什么时候成为朋友的”完全匹配。 34. F 解析：后句王伟回应 You are right，说明此处是林涛提出的观点；F 项“我认为差异能让友谊更牢固”正是呼应本单元“相同与不同”主题的观点句。 35. E 解析：后句回答 Sure! Let's meet at the basketball court at four，说明此处发出邀请，E 项“你今天下午想见见他吗”衔接自然。D、G 两项为干扰项。 五、语法填空 36. stronger 解析：考查形容词比较级。and 连接并列比较级 taller and stronger，much 修饰比较级表示程度。 37. confident 解析：考查同级比较。not as...as 中间必须用形容词原级 confident 作表语，不能用副词。 38. to help 解析：考查非谓语动词。固定搭配 decide to do sth 意为“决定做某事”，后接动词不定式。 39. loudly 解析：考查词性转换。修饰动词 speak 须用副词形式，loud 的副词为 loudly。 40. better 解析：考查副词比较级。even 修饰副词 well 的比较级 better，表示“讲得甚至比老师预期的还要好”。 41. with 解析：考查介词。with a big smile 意为“带着灿烂的笑容”，介词短语作状语。 42.

My best friend is Lin Tao, a boy who sits next to me in class. We have many things in common. Both of us love reading history books, and we often volunteer together at the city library on weekends. However, we also have differences. Lin Tao is much more outgoing than me, while I am quieter and more patient. When I feel nervous before speaking in public, he always encourages me to be brave. From our friendship, I have learned that differences make us stronger. True friends help each other grow and become better every day. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
