Ⅳ.阅读理解
I’m telling Mother about a new girl in school，and she suddenly looks up and says，“Who’re your two best friends?” I’m not sure what to say.I’ve been friends with Jill since I was three or so，and I really like Jaime，a friend in kindergarten.“Well，what about Karen and Cindy?” She seems upset，like I hurt her feelings.“But they’re my sisters.” “Yes，but they can still be your best friends.Friends may come and go，but your sisters will always be there for you.”
At the time，the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me.We fought all the time over toys，food and attention.How could my sisters be my best friends?They weren’t the same age as I.We all had our own friends in school.But my mother never let the three of us forget it：Sisters are lifelong friends.Her wish was to give us something that she never had.Growing up an only child，she longed for siblings (兄弟姐妹).When she gave birth to three daughters，the fulfillment of her dream had only just begun.She’d given us each a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted.She’d frequently tell us how lucky we were.She never showed favoritism to one daughter over the other.And when we were teenagers，Mom always punished us equally.
We didn’t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings.But we realized that our mother was right.Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else.My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together，sidebyside，even holding hands when we crossed the finish line.When my sister Karen got married，I was her maid of honor.The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.
It was twentythree years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were.Today she doesn’t have to.She already knows.
1.Why does Mother say that my sisters can be my best friends?
A.Because we fight over toys，food and attention.
B.Because my sisters are the same age as I.
C.Because my sisters will always be there for me.
D.Because we are always punished by Mother equally.
2.What’s the author’s greatest gift?
A.The friendship of her different friends.
B.What her mother did for her.
C.The love of her mother for her daughters.
D.Both of her sisters.
3.What made the author change her opinion about best friends?
A.What Mother said about the relationship between friends and sisters.
B.What Mother experienced because she had no siblings.
C.Her mother’s favoritism to one daughter over the other.
D.What the sisters shared only with each other.

B.Jill and Jaime.
C.My sisters，Jim and Jaime.
D.Cindy and Karen.

2.B [考查时态。A将会做，表将来;B通常做，表经常;C正在做，表进行; D过去已经做完，过去完成时。根据语境应该是平常替家人做饭，故选B。]
3.A [remain是不及物动词，没有被动式或进行式，故排除B、C和D，选A。]
4.B [句意为：Barbara很容易被辨认出来，因为她是一名穿晚礼服的妇女。题干中先行词是the only one，故定语从句中用单数谓语动词;再根据主句的谓语动词是一般现在时知，从句也用一般现在时。]
5.B [根据题意先排除D项，因为回答方要说明现在的情况;A项have prepared说明已准备好;C项 prepare是目前的习惯性动作;B项现在进行时表示动作的未完成性。]
6.A [考查动词时态。题干为一个含有原因状语从句的主
从复合句，主句陈述的情况是客观事实，because引导的原因状语从句强调科技正处于不断变化的过程中，是一种持续状态故用现在进行时。]

11.B [句意为：女士们，先生们，请系好安全带。飞机即将起飞。所以要用现在进行时表示将来。A项是一般现在时，表示习惯性、经常性的事情;B项是现在进行时，可表示将要发生的事情;C项是现在完成时，表示已发生或完成的事情;D项是一般过去时，表示事件发生在过去某个时间。]
12.A [句意为：听起来汤姆对这项工作非常感兴趣，但我不敢肯定他能否做得了。interested描述人的感受，意为“感兴趣的”;interesting意为“令人感兴趣的”;它们都可以放在sound后面作表语，而C项和D项都是副词形式，不能作表语。]
13.B [考查形容词短语作状语。句意为：又惊又喜，托尼站起来领了奖。此处用surprised and happy描述托尼当时的心情，作状语。]
14.A [句意为：我们日复一日地生活着，但是从大的方面讲，几天和几周的时间是如此的渺小，以致于一天根本微不足道。本句用来陈述事实，用一般现在时态;空白处所在句子的主语是the time，谓语动词应用单数形式。]

Ⅴ. 参考范文
Alan，who’s seventeen years old，is tall and thin with brown hair，blue eyes and fair skin.My classmates all like him because he’s very friendly and always ready to help anyone who’s in trouble.He’s both clever and hardworking，which has won him the school scholarships twice and that’s what I should especially learn from him.Besides，we have many common hobbies in common，such as swimming，reading，singing and playing basketball and that’s the reason why we often stay together.Of course he has shortcomings，too，but I don’t think this will have any effect on our friendship.
