基础语篇巩固练
（24-25 八年级下·广东汕头·期中）As your children grow up, they need friends, but sometimes, they don’
t understand how to make friends. So, it’s time to tell them how to make friends.
Talk about what friends are like. Ask your children what they think a friend is. Listen to their answers and
then share your opinions on friendship. You might say, “A friend is someone you enjoy spending time with. They
make you feel special, and you can rely on (依赖) them.” Then, encourage them to take part in happy and relaxing
activities.
__________ Storytelling is another great way to help kids learn about friendship. Tell your children a story
about friends. Continue the story until it reaches the point where one character has to make a decision. Then, stop
and ask your children to decide what a friend is like and discuss how to make friends with him or her.
Celebrate your own friendships. Kids learn from you. Let them see that you enjoy great relationships with
your friends! Plan a get-together with a few of them and ask your children to join in it as well. During your time
together, explain why you enjoy being around your friends.
Tell your children to make gifts for their friends. This can show the friends how much your children care
about them. There are many different ways to make gifts. For example, your children could make a card, paint a
picture, or write a song. After they have finished, help them plan a time to give the gifts to their friends.

（24-25 八年级下·湖南长沙·期中）What brought you and your friends together Was it shared hobbies or
similar personalities Besides these common reasons, genes (基因) may also play a role.
According to a US study with 1, 932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014
higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related two people are—the
higher the number is, the closer the relation is.
Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For
first cousins, it’s about 0.0625, while for fourth cousins, it’s around only 0.001. This means you might share more
genes with your best friend than with some distant (远房的) family members.
The question is—why are people with a high level of the kinship coefficient more likely to become friends
The research team found that many of the top one percent of similar genes have something to do with the sense of
smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell.
The study also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers
collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an
e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body smells were more alike than those
of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you!
1．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph 1
A．To introduce a topic. B．To give examples. C．To provide a solution.
2．What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A．Best friends have a higher kinship coefficient than first cousins.
B．The kinship coefficient between two friends is 0.001.
C．Best friends can share more genetic similarities than distant family members.
3．According to the study, who are more likely to become friends
A．People who live in the same neighborhood.
B．People who have similar body smells.
C．People who have similar looks.
4．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from
A．Travel. B．Sports. C．Science.
【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C
【导语】本文主要探讨了基因相似性（亲缘系数）对友谊形成的影响，并通过研究数据说明朋友之间可能
比远亲拥有更高的基因相似性，尤其是嗅觉基因的相似性。
1．推理判断题。根据“What brought you and your friends together Was it shared hobbies or similar personalities
Besides these common reasons, genes may also play a role.”可推知，作者通过提问引入话题，提出基因对友谊
的影响。故选 A。
2．细节理解题。根据“friends have a kinship coefficient that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers… you might share
more genes with your best friend than with some distant family members.”可知，朋友的亲缘系数比陌生人高
0.0014，你与最好朋友的基因相似度可能比某些远亲更高，即朋友间的基因相似性可能超过远亲。故选 C。
3．细节理解题。根据“close friends may have a similar sense of smell”和“friends’ body smells were more alike
than those of strangers”可知，体味相似的人更可能成为朋友。故选 B。
4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕基因与友谊的科学研究发现展开，引用研究数据和实验，符合
科学类文章的特征。故选 C。
（23-24 八年级下·江苏无锡·期中）Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you
don’t really want to talk to Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real
friends Do you say “yes” to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to If you answered
“yes” to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”.
Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that
we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends. As our lives get busier, it becomes more important to
spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us.
Who are the friends you need to edit A few years ago, I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary
possessions (物品). It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have: Is it useful Do I like it Do I feel
better every time I look at it If the answer is no to any of those questions, you should throw it away. Maybe we
should ask similar questions about our friends. What kind of friends will you probably need to edit Sometimes it’
s an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have
very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up
too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think “Do I really want to
see this person ” and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse. In that way you’ll have more time to spend
with your real friends.
1．When do people need to edit their friends
A．They have moved to a different area.
B．They have no time with their real friend.
C．Some of their friends don’t talk very much.
D．Their friends are people from work or school.
2．What does the word “edit” in the passage mean
A．Check and choose. B．Believe and help. C．Miss and see. D．Call and meet.
3．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3
A．We should often throw some possessions.
B．Most of our friends are not necessary at all.
C．We shouldn’t treat our friends as possessions.
D．We should ask ourselves who our real friends are.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D
【导语】本文探讨了现代人因忙于工作或学业社交，导致与真正好友相处时间不足的问题。提出通过朋友
断舍离来优化社交关系，建议用三个标准评估朋友：是否有用、是否喜欢、相处是否愉悦，并学会对消耗
性社交说不，从而为珍贵友谊留出更多空间。
1．细节理解题。根据“Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school.
The result is that we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends. As our lives get busier, it becomes
more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who
really love us.”可知，当人们没有时间和真正的朋友在一起时，就需要“编辑”他们的朋友了。因为人们把很
多时间花在了同事或同学身上，导致没时间陪真正的朋友，所以此时需要对朋友关系进行“调整”。故选 B。
2．词句猜测题。根据文章内容，“edit your friends”是指对自己的朋友关系进行审视和调整。文中提到要像
处理不需要的物品一样，问自己关于朋友的问题，比如“我真的想见到这个人吗” ，如果不想就拒绝，也就
是要对朋友进行检查和选择，留下真正想交往的朋友，去掉那些不必要的朋友关系。故“edit”指“检查并选
择”。故选 A。
3．主旨大意题。通读第三段可知，第三段作者通过类比整理不必要的物品，提出筛选朋友的标准，所以
作者是想通过这个类比告诉我们，应该问问自己谁才是我们真正的朋友，从而对朋友关系进行审视和调整。
故选 D。

（24-25 八年级下·广东广州·期中）.
One day in June 2020, I pulled a large box down from the attic (阁楼). Inside were tons of letters. They
were from my friend, Steph.
We have kept in touch for nearly 60 years. We started writing to each other when we were in middle school.
Our letters were on different kinds of paper: lined and unlined. To remember the past better, we decided to turn all
that aged paper into something more meaningful.
One Sunday morning last autumn, we met at my house for a read-through. Before Steph arrived, I carefully
set the scene (场景). I played our favorite song in the background. Like actors in a play, we took turns reading
aloud our words. The lines reminded us that we called each other “sweetie pie”.
That first day, we went through two years in eight hours. By that age, we had become wiser teenagers. We
wrote complete sentences in cursive (连笔字). We talked about famous singers a lot.
Steph and I supported each other with letters through early marriage and motherhood, the death of my
father, our early careers and the death of her father. There were phones, but they were too expensive for us to use
then, so we continued to write. As time went on, the letters became more and more.
Now, the letters are kept in a beautiful box in my study. Steph and I are going to read them again in ten
years. We each also wrote a new secret note and put them in the box. We will read them then.

重难语篇拔高练
（23-24 八年级下·北京西城·期中）One surprising finding in the science of relationships is that friends are
important to a healthy life and they are just as important for our well-being as healthy eating habits or a good
night’s sleep.
People with strong friendships usually have better mental (心理的) health and studies suggest they’re in
better physical health as well. Researchers have found large social networks lower our risk of early death more
than exercise or eating habits alone. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a lot of friends were
22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with few friends.
However, nowadays, people have fewer friends than they used to and are spending more of their time alone.
In 2021, 12 percent of Americans said they had no close friends. While having friends is good for your health, not
having them can be harmful. According to a medical report, loneliness has been connected with higher rates of
depression (抑郁). For older women, loneliness can increase the risk of heart disease by as much as 27 percent.
There are many ideas about the relationship between friendship and better health. A possible reason may be
because it’s easier for healthy people to make friends. At the same time, a strong social network could mean that
someone may find it easier to get medical care. There is also a psychological effect of friendship that likely plays
a role. Friends help us deal with stress (压力). In one study at the University of Virginia, many people felt nervous
when they were asked to climb a rocky hill. But researchers found that when people were standing next to a friend,
they rated the hill less difficult than those who were alone. Brain studies suggest that friendship affects (影响)
brain systems by influencing our feelings, showing why social connection helps mental health and well-being.
Friendship even seems to affect our immune response (免疫应答). In one study, 276 healthy volunteers were
given materials having cold virus. Those with various social ties were less likely to catch a cold.
Friends don’t just appear out of thin air. Here are two suggestions for making new connections and keeping
the old ones.
Join a book club, take a class or play a sport. Spending time with people who share the same interests as
you could lead to friendship. A study found that classmates who sat next to each other were more likely to become
close friends. The next time you work out at the gym, for example, you could invite someone to join.
Make the first move. Trust your feeling when you’re meeting new people. We’re good at knowing when
someone is a potential (潜在的) new friend. And you should believe people like you better than you think. Start
with a text. Start small by sending a text message to an old friend you’ve been meaning to reconnect with.
Show your feelings. If a friend reaches out to you to drink coffee, tell them how happy you are when he
reaches out, and that you thank him for the invitation. In a University of Utah study, researchers asked 70 students
to finish a list of interactions——like going to see a movie together or calling just to say hello——with new
friends. After three months, the researchers found that close friendships were more likely to form when the pairs
expressed affection (喜爱) to each other.
1．What can we know about people with strong friendships
A．They are afraid to be alone.
B．They are likely to live longer.
C．They never feel depressed.
D．They do exercise to be healthier.
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A．A good immune response results in more friends.
B．Friendships help us reduce stress and improve well-being.
C．People with long-lasting friendships have sharper brains.
D．We can’t get medical care without a strong social network.
3．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．what close friends mean to us and why we like them.
B．what we can learn from friends and why we need them.
C．how friendships affect us and how we can develop them.
D．why friendships are important and how we choose friends.
【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了友谊对健康的重要性，包括对心理健康和身体健康的积极影响，
同时也介绍了一些建立和维护友谊的方法。
1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“People with strong friendships usually have better mental (心理的) health and
studies suggest they’re in better physical health as well. ... A 10-year Australian study found that older people
with a lot of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with few friends.”可知，
拥有牢固友谊的人更有可能活得更久。故选 B。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Friends help us deal with stress (压力). ... they rated the hill less difficult than
those who were alone. Brain studies suggest that friendship affects (影响) brain systems by influencing our
feelings, showing why social connection helps mental health and well-being. Friendship even seems to affect our
immune response (免疫应答).”可推断出，友谊有助于我们减轻压力，提高幸福感。故选 B。

（24-25 八年级下·广东汕头·期中）As your children grow up, they need friends, but sometimes, they don’
t understand how to make friends. So, it’s time to tell them how to make friends.
Talk about what friends are like. Ask your children what they think a friend is. Listen to their answers and
then share your opinions on friendship. You might say, “A friend is someone you enjoy spending time with. They
make you feel special, and you can rely on (依赖) them.” Then, encourage them to take part in happy and relaxing
activities.
__________ Storytelling is another great way to help kids learn about friendship. Tell your children a story
about friends. Continue the story until it reaches the point where one character has to make a decision. Then, stop
and ask your children to decide what a friend is like and discuss how to make friends with him or her.
Celebrate your own friendships. Kids learn from you. Let them see that you enjoy great relationships with
your friends! Plan a get-together with a few of them and ask your children to join in it as well. During your time
together, explain why you enjoy being around your friends.
Tell your children to make gifts for their friends. This can show the friends how much your children care
about them. There are many different ways to make gifts. For example, your children could make a card, paint a
picture, or write a song. After they have finished, help them plan a time to give the gifts to their friends.
With your help, your children can be good at making friends.

（24-25 八年级下·湖南长沙·期中）What brought you and your friends together Was it shared hobbies or
similar personalities Besides these common reasons, genes (基因) may also play a role.
According to a US study with 1, 932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014
higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related two people are—the
higher the number is, the closer the relation is.
Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For
first cousins, it’s about 0.0625, while for fourth cousins, it’s around only 0.001. This means you might share more
genes with your best friend than with some distant (远房的) family members.
The question is—why are people with a high level of the kinship coefficient more likely to become friends
The research team found that many of the top one percent of similar genes have something to do with the sense of
smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell.
The study also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers
collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an
e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body smells were more alike than those
of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you!
1．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph 1
A．To introduce a topic. B．To give examples. C．To provide a solution.
2．What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A．Best friends have a higher kinship coefficient than first cousins.
B．The kinship coefficient between two friends is 0.001.
C．Best friends can share more genetic similarities than distant family members.
3．According to the study, who are more likely to become friends
A．People who live in the same neighborhood.
B．People who have similar body smells.
C．People who have similar looks.
4．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from
A．Travel. B．Sports. C．Science.
（23-24 八年级下·江苏无锡·期中）Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you
don’t really want to talk to Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real
friends Do you say “yes” to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to If you answered
“yes” to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”.
Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that
we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends. As our lives get busier, it becomes more important to
spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us.
Who are the friends you need to edit A few years ago, I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary
possessions (物品). It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have: Is it useful Do I like it Do I feel
better every time I look at it If the answer is no to any of those questions, you should throw it away. Maybe we
should ask similar questions about our friends. What kind of friends will you probably need to edit Sometimes it’
s an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have
very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up
too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think “Do I really want to
see this person ” and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse. In that way you’ll have more time to spend
with your real friends.
1．When do people need to edit their friends
A．They have moved to a different area.
B．They have no time with their real friend.
C．Some of their friends don’t talk very much.
D．Their friends are people from work or school.
2．What does the word “edit” in the passage mean
A．Check and choose. B．Believe and help. C．Miss and see. D．Call and meet.
3．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3
A．We should often throw some possessions.
B．Most of our friends are not necessary at all.
C．We shouldn’t treat our friends as possessions.
D．We should ask ourselves who our real friends are.

（23-24 八年级下·湖南衡阳·期中）A few years ago, my young sons, Sam, Jerry and Alex, joined in a bike
competition (比赛) in a town far from our home. As their father was busy, I drove them to the competition.
We were quite new to the town and didn’t know anyone there. But soon after arriving, a woman gave me a

Carl.

him. He badly broke his arm. Just before I decided to take Alex to hospital, I saw a familiar (熟悉的) face. It was
Bev. She saw I was scared (受惊吓) by the accident and my worry of having two other children to care for in an
unfamiliar town.
“You can take him to the hospital,” Bev said. “I’ll take the other two children home with my boys. Here is
my phone number. I live not far from the town hospital.”
Bev was like an angel (天使). I will never forget her kindness in taking my two other children off my hands

（24-25 八年级下·广东广州·期中）.
One day in June 2020, I pulled a large box down from the attic (阁楼). Inside were tons of letters. They
were from my friend, Steph.
We have kept in touch for nearly 60 years. We started writing to each other when we were in middle school.
Our letters were on different kinds of paper: lined and unlined. To remember the past better, we decided to turn all
that aged paper into something more meaningful.
One Sunday morning last autumn, we met at my house for a read-through. Before Steph arrived, I carefully
set the scene (场景). I played our favorite song in the background. Like actors in a play, we took turns reading
aloud our words. The lines reminded us that we called each other “sweetie pie”.
That first day, we went through two years in eight hours. By that age, we had become wiser teenagers. We
wrote complete sentences in cursive (连笔字). We talked about famous singers a lot.
Steph and I supported each other with letters through early marriage and motherhood, the death of my
father, our early careers and the death of her father. There were phones, but they were too expensive for us to use
then, so we continued to write. As time went on, the letters became more and more.
Now, the letters are kept in a beautiful box in my study. Steph and I are going to read them again in ten
years. We each also wrote a new secret note and put them in the box. We will read them then.

A．To act plays. B．To read letters. C．To play songs. D．To set scenes.

重难语篇拔高练
（23-24 八年级下·北京西城·期中）One surprising finding in the science of relationships is that friends are
important to a healthy life and they are just as important for our well-being as healthy eating habits or a good
night’s sleep.
People with strong friendships usually have better mental (心理的) health and studies suggest they’re in
better physical health as well. Researchers have found large social networks lower our risk of early death more
than exercise or eating habits alone. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a lot of friends were
22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with few friends.
However, nowadays, people have fewer friends than they used to and are spending more of their time alone.
In 2021, 12 percent of Americans said they had no close friends. While having friends is good for your health, not
having them can be harmful. According to a medical report, loneliness has been connected with higher rates of
depression (抑郁). For older women, loneliness can increase the risk of heart disease by as much as 27 percent.
There are many ideas about the relationship between friendship and better health. A possible reason may be
because it’s easier for healthy people to make friends. At the same time, a strong social network could mean that
someone may find it easier to get medical care. There is also a psychological effect of friendship that likely plays
a role. Friends help us deal with stress (压力). In one study at the University of Virginia, many people felt nervous
when they were asked to climb a rocky hill. But researchers found that when people were standing next to a friend,
they rated the hill less difficult than those who were alone. Brain studies suggest that friendship affects (影响)
brain systems by influencing our feelings, showing why social connection helps mental health and well-being.
Friendship even seems to affect our immune response (免疫应答). In one study, 276 healthy volunteers were
given materials having cold virus. Those with various social ties were less likely to catch a cold.
Friends don’t just appear out of thin air. Here are two suggestions for making new connections and keeping
the old ones.
Join a book club, take a class or play a sport. Spending time with people who share the same interests as
you could lead to friendship. A study found that classmates who sat next to each other were more likely to become
close friends. The next time you work out at the gym, for example, you could invite someone to join.
Make the first move. Trust your feeling when you’re meeting new people. We’re good at knowing when
someone is a potential (潜在的) new friend. And you should believe people like you better than you think. Start
with a text. Start small by sending a text message to an old friend you’ve been meaning to reconnect with.
Show your feelings. If a friend reaches out to you to drink coffee, tell them how happy you are when he
reaches out, and that you thank him for the invitation. In a University of Utah study, researchers asked 70 students
to finish a list of interactions——like going to see a movie together or calling just to say hello——with new
friends. After three months, the researchers found that close friendships were more likely to form when the pairs
expressed affection (喜爱) to each other.
1．What can we know about people with strong friendships
A．They are afraid to be alone.
B．They are likely to live longer.
C．They never feel depressed.
D．They do exercise to be healthier.
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A．A good immune response results in more friends.
B．Friendships help us reduce stress and improve well-being.
C．People with long-lasting friendships have sharper brains.
D．We can’t get medical care without a strong social network.
3．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．what close friends mean to us and why we like them.
B．what we can learn from friends and why we need them.
C．how friendships affect us and how we can develop them.
D．why friendships are important and how we choose friends.
