二、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
A
My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I’m quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My good friend Yuan Li is quiet, too. So we enjoy studying together. I’m shy, so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books. You don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does. So maybe I should help him more.
Another best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year, but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she’s always there to listen.
I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.”
21. Why does the writer like reading books?
A. Because his mother hopes he can read more books.
B. Because he is serious and has more free time.
C. Because he likes to study.
D. Because he is very quiet and serious.
22. Which of the following shows the correct writing structure of the article?
A. B. C. D.
B
Friends are like stars in the sky. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there. True friendship is a precious treasure that enriches our lives in many ways.
First of all, good friends share our joys and sorrows. When we are happy, they celebrate with us, and their happiness makes our joy even greater. When we are sad or facing difficulties, they are the ones who listen to us patiently and offer us comfort and support. For example, when I failed an important exam, I was very disappointed and frustrated. My friend Lily came to me, listened to me pour out my feelings, and then encouraged me to work harder. Her words gave me the strength to get through that difficult time.
Secondly, friends help us grow and develop. They may have different interests and talents from us, which can expose us to new ideas and experiences. My friend Tom is very interested in science and technology. He often shares with me the latest scientific discoveries and technological innovations. Through our conversations, I have developed a greater interest in science and have learned a lot of knowledge that I can’t get from textbooks.
However, maintaining a good friendship also requires effort. We need to be honest with our friends and respect their feelings and opinions. Sometimes, disagreements may occur between friends, but as long as we communicate openly and sincerely, we can usually resolve these conflicts and make our friendship stronger.
