26、章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍如何识别一个真正的朋友。解析:1根据前两句“Do your friends tell you secrets that no one else knows? Ask you for advice?” (你的朋友会告诉你没有其他人知道的秘密吗?征求你的意见了吗?)和后句的转折“However, if your friends hide things from you and act secretly, then this is a sign that they may not trust you.”(然而,如果你的朋友对你隐瞒事情,那么这表明他们可能不
27、信任你。)可知,前面两点是你朋友信任你的明显迹象。故选D。2根据后句“How comfortable are your friends when they are around you?”(当你的朋友在你身边的时候,他们有多愉快放松?)和“but if your friends are true they should feel comfortable around you, and vice versa(You with them)”(但是如果你的朋友是真的,和你在一起,他们应该感到舒服,反过来也是一样。)提示可知,这里主题句应为:Consider comfort.(考虑舒适性。),故选A。

29、es it suit you well?”(想想你朋友给你的绰号,你觉得很适合你吗?)可知,绰号的适合表明了你的朋友一定对你相当了解。故选E。5根据前句“Nearly all best friends fight.”(几乎所有最好的朋友都争吵。)和后句“True friends will find their way through a fight, no matter what the size is.”(真正的朋友将会通过争吵找到解决方法,无论争吵大小。)可知,如果你和你的朋友有争吵,没有必要担心。故选F。.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Li Qi

34、”,如果主句是一般现在时,从句通常使用现在完成时;如果主句是一般过去时,从句通常使用过去完成时。所以填had traveled。2考查分词作状语。句意:被王平父母的公司运送,他坐着时光机器来到了未来。本句主语he与动词transport构成被动关系,要用过去分词作状语。所以要填Transported。3考查不定式用法。句意:起初他发现忍受新环境很难。句中it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是不定式短语to tolerate the new surroundings。所以要填不定式to tolerate。4考查介词短语。句意:因为缺少新鲜空气,他的头很疼。介词短语for lack of意为“因为缺少”,表
35、示上下文因果关系。所以要填介词for。5考查冠词。句意:王平把他送到一个小房间里休息。rest“休息”,可数名词。所以要填不定冠词a。6考查副词。句意:很快李强就可以和王平飞得一样快了。在英语里副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子;而形容词通常作定语修饰名词;句中应该使用副词修饰动词fly。所以要填副词swiftly。7考查连词。句意:但因为有很多朝着各个方向飞行的车厢,他看不到王平。根据句意可知,上下文之间是转折关系,要用表示转折关系的连词。所以要填But。8.考查现在分词。句意:但因为有很多朝着各个方向飞行的车厢,他看不到王平。名词carriages与动词fly构成主动关系,要用现在分词短语作定语,作用相当于定语从句。所以要填现在分词flying。9考查代词。句意:树叶给房间提供了迫切需要的氧气。代词it可以指代上文提及的同一事物,本句中it指代前面一句中的名词room。所以要填it。10考查形容词。句意:吃完饭洗完澡以后,李强发现自己非常疲惫,就上床睡觉了。形容词exhausted意为“疲惫不堪的”,该词通常修饰人,在本句中作宾语补足语补充说明动词found的宾语himself。所以要填exhausted。
