三、阅读理解
Dear Mr. HAPPY,
I have two best friends but they don’t like each other. Every time I want to hang out with both of them, they never want to go and always get angry with me. When I hang out with one but not the other, the other one will get jealous. I want all of us to be good friends, but I don’t know what to do. Is there anybody who can help me
Advice from Helen, Guangzhou
You need to ask both of them why they don’t like each other. You should do something to make them like each other again. You can invite both of them to your house, without telling them that he or she will be there. Let them stay there for about 30 minutes. See if they can talk with each other. Hope this helps!
Advice from Laura, Shanghai
Jack is my good friend. He is in Tianjin, not far from you. He had the same problem last year. He says if they are really your best friends, you should let them know that you like both of them. And they should try to be nice to each other because they have the same friend—you!

Dear Mike, I like to think that I am a helpful girl. I often help my classmates with their study. But lately the students in my class have been hiding their notes from each other. They seem to be afraid that others are better than them. Shouldn’t we be helping each other I feel like I am in a fog. What should I do Madeline
Dear Madeline, You’re right — everyone should be helping each other instead of being so competitive. But that’s the world we live in these days. Many people think they have to “beat” everyone else. Some people around you will judge you on everything — from the grades you get in school to the clothes you wear. So what do you do about this Just try to be different. Be the one who stands up and says that people should help each other instead of competing all the time. Try to be helpful and kind to other people. It may seem impossible sometimes, but your behavior will start to influence others. You can be the one who changes the way people treat each other. And even if some of those people still don’t change, you at least know that you tried your best to change things. Mike
31．Madeline often ________ in class.
A．helps the classmates B．gives out the paper
C．makes up some stories D．judges the classmates
32．Mike advises Madeline ________.
A．to beat others B．to work hard

Do you argue with your parents about clearing the table or doing the washing-up, making your bed or tidying your room
Do your parents find it hard to understand that you use social networking sites or hang out with friends all the time If you can’t see their point of view, then our new Family Solutions app can help. With the Family Solutions app, teenagers and parents look at typical family arguments from both sides and find a good solution. The app gives you tips and helps you make better choices, but it also helps your parents to see situations from your point of view.
How does it work You read different types problems and then choose an answer from different options. The app explains why one answer is the best and why other answers aren’t so good. Just imagine this situation: you’re getting ready to go out with friends but your parents want you to go to your grandparents. Do you say “We always go there at the weekend. I’m meeting my friends today.” or do you say “OK, we can go there today, but I’d like to hang out with my friends tomorrow.” The first option doesn’t make your parents or you feel good, but the second option makes everybody happy.
In the App store, you can also find the Family Solutions app online—just type “family Solution app” into your web browser and then follow the instructions on the screen.
33．Who is the app for

Q: At recess (课间休息), I don’t know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don’t like or don’t want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do
Alex Rider, 13, Bloomfield, N.J.
A: In fact, recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades 1 to 5. I was never really into playing kickball. So, like you, I spent many days at recess standing alone. Take advantage of the extra time you have. I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time, especially if it is sunny. Books are good for a lonely recess, because they take you out of your world and into another. If reading isn’t your thing, then try making new friends. Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting. Those might be worth trying. Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well. Whatever you want to do, don’t let your time go to waste. Johnny Hayes,15 A: Do you believe in time travel, Alex Because you just dragged me 40 years into the past. When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess-which was too vigorous (剧烈的) for me right after lunch. So, like you, I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me, “What do you want to do ” I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I’m not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy. And one last idea: There’s no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won’t like. You might just surprise yourself. Philip Galanes, adult
37．Who is asking for advice
A．Alex Rider. B．Johnny Hayes. C．Susie. D．Philip Galanes.
38．One of Philip’s suggestions is to ____.
A．read a book B．talk to a teacher
C．do what you feel like doing D．stand without doing anything
39．Why do Johnny and Philip mention the kickball game at their schools
A．To show they shared similar experiences.
B．To show they were good at the kickball game.
C．To encourage Alex to make use of the extra time.
D．To encourage Alex to surprise himself with a new game.
40．Which part of a newspaper may this passage be taken from
A．Science Study. B．Art Style. C．Sports World. D．Teenage Problem.

参考答案：
1．D
【详解】句意：——社会工作者花了近两个小时仔细查看该计划。他说这两天将会与你讨论这个计划。——真的吗？任何时间都行。
考查非谓语动词和some/any用法。spend some time doing sth 花费时间做某事，第一处空格应该用动名词形式，排除A/B选项；look at 看……；look through 仔细查看，此处指社会工作者仔细查看计划，排除C选项；some time 一些时间；any time 任何时间，any可以用于肯定句，表示“任何”。故选D。
2．A
【详解】句意：——你注意到南希这几天有点太安静了吗？——是的。今天下午她一句话也没说。
考查动词辨析。notice注意到；explain解释；decide决定。根据“Nancy has been a little too quiet these days”可知，此处是注意到的事情，故选A。
3．A
【详解】句意：虽然我很多同学无法忍受看新闻，但是我很喜欢看。
考查连词辨析。although虽然；so所以；as当，虽然（用于倒装句）；before在……之前。根据句意可知，前后两个分句是让步关系，表示“虽然很多同学无法忍受，但是我很喜欢”，而且此句不是倒装句，因此要用although引导从句，故选A。
4．B
【详解】句意：他看起来比实际年龄大得多。
考查形容词比较级。old老的；older比较级，表示年龄上的大；eld高龄；elder年长的。根据than“比”可知，本题需用比较级；根据looks“看”可知，本题表示年龄上比较大，故选B。
5．B
【详解】句意：——很多学生空闲时间玩手机而不是读书。——多么可惜！每个人都应该是书籍爱好者。读书真的很有趣。

【详解】句意：——这个季节很容易得流感。——是啊，所以我们不应该在人多的地方摘下口罩。
考查情态动词。needn’t不需要；wouldn’t不会；shouldn’t不应该；may not可能不会。根据“It’s easy to get the flu this season.”以及“we…take off the masks in crowded places.”可知，我们不应该在人多的地方摘口罩，因此“shouldn’t”符合题意。故选C。
8．D
【详解】句意：——他昨晚什么时候去睡觉？——他直到做完作业才去睡觉。
考查特殊疑问句和until引导的时间状语从句。How long多久，多长；When什么时候；Until直到……为止；Not until直到……才……。结合语境及答语“he finished his homework”可知询问的是他睡觉的时间，应用when来提问；go to bed是终止性动词，主句常用否定形式，即构成not…until…，表示“直到……才……”。此处为简略回答，因此第二空应填入Not until，until引导时间状语从句。故选D。
9．A
【详解】句意：尽管比尔去年遇到了人生中最大的麻烦，但他得到了很多人的帮助。

【点睛】技巧一
完型在"填空"的时候，切忌用中文的"搭配"去感觉，也就是所谓三大出题技巧之一的"中文代入"。要思考英语的搭配，不要死记，要理解和搜集。
技巧二
首段首句不出题，是主旨句（2001年除外），除首句外基本每句话都要出题，首段首句没有读懂就不要做下去；
技巧三
考验完型填空里面名词、动词、形容词，这些实词的考点往往被给出明确的线索，存在于改填空的前后，对该填空进行前后联系(名词前面adj。后面从句;形容词前面adv。后面n.;动词前面主语后面宾语等等)指示，考生如果能够判断出前后的关键而又是少量的信息，可以保证题目做对
技巧四
如出现陌生的选项词汇，而我们又不认识的时候，这里注意，蒙也有技巧，一般来说选择相对简单的词汇，不要选择偏的怪的词汇。
技巧五
答案分布规律： 每篇完形填空中A、B、C、D作为正确选项的个数各在4—6个之间；A作为正确选项的个数最多；没有连续三个答案都一样的情况，连续两个答案都一样的情况为0—3个； 在五个一组的答案中，最少要出现三个字母作为正确的选项；
技巧六
在四个选项中，有两个实词互为同义词时，答案往往在其中； 在四个选项中，有两个虚词互为同义词时，答案往往都不选；当四个选项有一个共同意义时，该意义往往不能入选，要看选项的特殊含义
26．B 27．C 28．B 29．D 30．A

【导语】本文讲述了玛丽亚背痛，因为她昨天打了太长时间的网球。她的朋友简建议她去看医生，但她认为自己只需要在家好好休息。
【小题1】“Maria have a backache and she feels very terrible.”表示“玛丽亚背痛，她觉得很难受”。主语“Maria”为第三人称单数，谓语动词要用三单形式，即要把have改为has。故填have→has。
【小题2】“That is because she plays tennis for a long time yesterday.”表示“那是因为她昨天打了很长时间的网球”。根据时间状语“yesterday”可知，时态为一般过去时，动词要用过去式，因此要把plays改为played。故填plays→played。
【小题3】“And Maria thinks she just need to have a good rest at home.”表示“但玛丽亚认为她只需要在家好好休息”。根据“Jane advises her to see a doctor at once”和“And Maria thinks she just need to have a good rest at home.”可知，前后句为转折关系，应用转折连词but。故填And→But。
【小题4】“And Maria thinks she just need to have a good rest at home.”表示“但玛丽亚认为她只需要在家好好休息”。need在这里是实义动词，主语为第三人称“she”，谓语动词要用第三人称单数，因此要把need改为needs。故填need→needs。
【小题5】“Jane also tells Maria that she shouldn’t take care of herself.”表示“简还告诉玛丽亚，她应该照顾自己”。根据“she shouldn’t take care of herself”可知，此处指应该照顾好自己，应该将shouldn’t改为should。故填shouldn’t→should。
