Question

 

Dear Eric: Linda and I have been best friends since we were six years old. We often study and play together. It’s great! But she often gets unhappy when I get better grades than her –she really gets jealous. Should I keep taking her as my friend? Yours, Alice

Hi Alice, I think friendship is important in our lives. You should talk to your friend. Tell her you’re both studying and it’s common that sometimes you get a better grade and sometimes she does better. Tell her you’re going to compete(比賽) with her and try to beat her in every test . maybe you can tell her that if she beats you, you’ll buy her some chocolate or something like that. If you can make your schoolwork into a game, you’ll both win in the long run (從長遠看), and you will both start to get better grades in your subjects. If it’s a game, you’ll both enjoy school a lot more, and you’ll still be best friends. Your, Eric

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要是兩封信。第一封信介紹了Alice遇到的問題，她不知道是否應該再和Linda交朋友。而第二封信中Eric給Alice提出了建議，叫Alice和Linda在學習上競爭。

1.詞義猜測題。But she often gets unhappy when I get better grades than her –she really gets jealous.句意：但是當我分數考得比她好時，她常常會不高興。她真的妒忌我。根據前半句可知，jealous意為嫉妒的。故選B

2.推理判斷題。根據Linda and I have been best friends since we were six years old.句意：Linda和我從六歲起就一直是最好的朋友。可知我們認識已經有很多年了。可知應選D

3.推理判斷題。根據Should I keep taking her as my friend?句意：我應該繼續把她當成我的朋友嗎？從這個問題可知Alice的問題是她不知道她是否能再和Linda交朋友。故選C

4.細節理解題。根據Tell her you’re going to compete(比賽) with her and try to beat her in every test .句意：告訴她你要和她比賽，并且要試著每次考試都贏她。根據此句，故選A

5.推理判斷題。根據If you can make your schoolwork into a game, you’ll both win in the long run (從長遠看), and you will both start to get better grades in your subjects.句意：如果你能把你的學習變成游戲，從長遠看，你們兩個人都能獲得好處，你們兩人將會在各科考試中取得更好的成績。從這句話中可知，如果采納Eric的建議，Alice和Linda在學校會表現得更好。可知應選B
