Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around Here’s our advice to you-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around-maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out during breaks or lunchtime. You want to make new friends but how do you find them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation （欣赏）to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here ” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, may I join you ” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things, offering help-pretty soon, you’ll have one, two or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends!

A. a; / B. an; / C. a; a D. an: a
【答案】C
【解析】
句意：对于一个欧洲学生来说，在这么短的时间内说中文是不可能的。
考查冠词辨析。a不定冠词，表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的词之前；an不定冠词，表泛指，用于元音音素开头的词之前；/不填。根据“It is impossible for…European student to speak Chinese in such…short time.”可知，两个空处都是表示泛指，European和short都是辅音音素开头的词，因此用a。故选C。

A. two months B. two-month C. two-months D. two month
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：——格林先生很快会有两个月的假期。——他多么幸运啊！
考查复合形容词。根据句子可知，句中缺少定语修饰名词holiday，应用形容词，排除A、D；“数词-名词”结构构成复合形容词，其中的名词要用单数形式，two-month“两个月的”，排除C。故选B。
3. Mr. Wu, we ________ the cleaning work. Can we go home now
A. finish B. have finished C. finishes D. will finish
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：吴先生，我们已经完成了清洁工作。我们现在可以回家了吗？
考查现在完成时。根据“Mr. Wu, we…the cleaning work. Can we go home now ”可知，此处描述的是已经完成的动作对现在的影响，因此用现在完成时，其谓语动词是have done。故选B。
4. The twins look the same, but ________ they are really different.
A. at a time B. from time to time
C. some time D. some times
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：这对双胞胎看起来一样，但有时他们真的不一样。
考查短语辨析。at a time每次；from time to time有时；some time一段时间；some times几次。根据“The twins look the same, but…they are really different.”可知，此处指的是“有时他们真的不一样”，因此此处用from time to time。故选B。

A. have married B. married
C. will marry D. have been married
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：我的父母已经结婚50多年了，他们非常相爱。
考查现在完成时和延续性动词。根据“for over 50 years”可知，时态用现在完成时，其谓语动词构成是have/has done，又因接一段时间，动词需要延续性动词，be married为延续性，因此此处用have been married。故选D。

A. How long B. How often
C. How far D. How soon
【答案】A
【解析】
句意：——你离开家乡多久了？——从5年前开始。

You want to make new friends, but how do you find them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.

If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things, offering help-pretty soon, you’ll have one, two or even more new friends.
