When I was a teen of 16 years old, I used to make more friends because of my outgoing nature. But unfortunately, I also had the most misunderstandings with them. However, I have not lost any of my friends over these disagreements.
Once I bought a few books to read in my free time during the summer vacation at high school. One evening during the vacation, two of my friends visited my home. After having some small talk, one of them started looking at my library that I had built since my childhood. He picked up one of the books that I had just started reading in the morning. It was Thomas, one of my best friends in high school. I helped him a lot with his mathematics for the exam before the summer vacation.
The disagreement with him began when he wanted to take the book home. The book named An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser was his first choice. I tried to make him realize that I had just started reading it before they arrived at my home and had just finished one-fourth of the book. But it seemed that he was also crazy about the book. He was determined to take it. Samuel, the other friend of mine sat quietly and saw us argue with each other.
The argument continued for about 15 minutes, and I tried to ask him to take some other books. He looked sad, saying that after he started reading the story, he really didn’t want to miss the chance to complete the book. Finally, I gave up and let him take the book on one condition: he should return the book just after he finished reading it and also would not lend it to someone else (he had lost most of his books lending them to others) as he did earlier with my books.
4. What happened to Thomas soon after he arrived at the author’s home
A. He thought of a children’s book.
B. He argued with Samuel over a book.
C. He was attracted to one of the author’s books.
D. He remembered leaving his book in the library.
5. Why did the author want to continue reading An American Tragedy
A. He enjoyed it very much.
B. He was a fan of the writer.
C. He read it for the final exam.
D. He planned to research into it.
6. How did the author solve the disagreement with Thomas
A. He told him the story of the book.
B. He decided to lend him the book.
C. He gave him another book by the same writer.
D. He let him look through the book before leaving.
7. What can we say about Thomas
A. He doesn’t have any friends. B. He is good at mathematics.
C. He always keeps his word. D. He doesn’t give up easily.
C
Alex, 13, recently began playing the saxophone ( 萨 克 斯 管). His grandpa played with a local band ( 乐 队), and Alex wanted to follow in his footsteps. Alex’s grandpa was so excited that he paid for six months of private lessons.
But now, two months in, Alex is starting to get tired of those lessons. He just isn’t getting the hang of how to play and he’s not having fun. Plus, he wants to join the soccer team, and he knows he won't have time for the sax and soccer.
Alex should just quit ( 停 止) the sax, right But wait. You’ve probably heard that you should never give up. That’s often good advice. However, quitting isn’t always the “wrong” choice; in fact, experts say that in certain situations, it can be healthy. “There’s a misunderstanding among kids that you're closing a door when you quit,” says Phyllis Fagell, a school counselor in Washington, D.C. “We only have so many hours in a day, and often when we close one door, that just allows another to open.”
Still, quitting is a big decision, so it’s worth taking time to think before you make it. Instead of giving up right now on something you’ve loved for years, Fagell recommends waiting. When times get easier, you can reevaluate ( 再 评 估). Maybe you’ll find that you miss the activity and pick it back up, or maybe you'll find something new.
Once you understand the reasons you’re thinking of quitting, you’re ready to evaluate and make a decision. Say you love soccer, but your friends are all better players than you. Is that a good reason to quit Probably not. On the other hand, you could be a star player — and hate playing. Being talented doesn’t mean you have to continue. Will quitting disappoint (使……失 望) your teammates, coach, and family Maybe. But you don't have to stick with something just to make others happy.
8. Why did Alex want to give up the saxophone
A. He couldn’t afford the lessons. B. He didn't really like playing it.
C. He disliked following his grandpa. D. He had no time to organize a soccer team.
9. What does Fagell think of quitting an interest
A. It may be a new start. B. It may do harm to health.
C. It may be a waste of time. D. It may cause misunderstandings.
10. What does the author suggest we do when we want to quit
A. Talk with those who love you. B. Find out what you are good at.
C. Spend time thinking about it. D. Wait till a new interest appears.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Is it ever OK to quit B. Alex’s rise as a sax star
C. Why do people easily quit D. Fagell’s study on students' hobbies
D
The hot housing market has more companies buying up single-family homes. They’re known as institutional (机构的) buyers and they accounted for a little more than 13.2% of house buying last year, according to new research from the National Association of Realtors. That was up from about 11.8% in 2020. These investors (投资者) are making it more difficult for people to find affordable housing, but a new action from the government could help prevent some of this in the future.
Claire Murphy is someone who has struggled to find affordable housing. She has been living in a camper for two years in Frisco, Colorado. “It’s more than just not having a shower,” Murphy said. “It’s feeling unsafe, feeling unsettled. ” Her boss lets her live in the office because she can’t afford to buy or rent a home. “The rents are more than 50% of my wage (工资),” Murphy said.
While there are not many new buildings being built across the country, Murphy says that’s not the truth in her area. “On every corner, about 20 apartments ( 公 寓) are being built, but we’ll never get to see them,” Murphy said. The problem is that she says investors are buying them up. “So what chance do we have ” Murphy said.
The government recently worked out some plans to deal with the housing problem. Among the list is “making sure that more government-owned housing and other housing goes to owners who will live in them, or nonprofits (非营利组织) who will improve them instead of large institutional investors”.
Matt Emery with the National Association of Realtors researches the influence of institutional investors. He says institutional investors buying up buildings is only a small part of the housing problem. For change to happen, Emery says the recommendations from the White House have to move through Congress. “We’re going to need some of these big changes to fix the problems because I don't think the market’s going to correct these on their own,” Emery said. At the same time, Murphy says she isn’t giving up finding an affordable place to call home.
12. What is the problem with the housing market
A. Investors are causing a rise in house prices. B. Buyers are less confident about it than before.
C. Housing prices are rising beyond anyone’s control. D. The government fails to attract large investment.
13. What does the underlined word “unsettled” mean in paragraph 2
A. Worthless. B. Homeless. C. Unfit. D. Unusual.
14. What does the government plan to do to deal with the housing problem
A. Offer some free houses to the needy. B. Pass laws to stop investors buying houses.
C. Provide more chances for those buying for living. D. Ask nonprofits to find second-hand houses for buyers.
15. What does Emery think of the government’s plan
A. It is effective. B. It is detailed. C. It is realistic. D. It is necessary.

Nothing beats a friendship that has survived many years. ___16___ Many have seen some challenges yet overcome (克服) them. Many more others have lost their friendships due to bad habits. That’s because when you keep repeating these bad habits, some friends get fed up and move away. ___17___ They may just be marking time until they find new friends.
We can build rock-solid (坚若磐石) friendships when we develop good friendship habits and say “no” to the unhelpful ones. Here are some of them.
1. Comparing your friends with others
When you do that, it means you don’t appreciate (欣赏) your friends for who they are and the effort they’re putting in. ___18___ Maybe you’ve lost sight of the fact that everyone has a different way of life. Instead of making comparisons, respect your friends for the unique journey they’re on.
2. Reminding your friends of their past mistakes
It’s bad enough for someone to think deeply about their own past misjudgments. ___19___ For a friend to do it — to remind them of their mistakes. Constant (不 断 的) reminders of what they’ve done wrong can take people down a dark path. Don’t be the one to do that. You may lose a friend forever.
3. Disrespecting their differences
We’re all different, and we should show respect for those differences. ___20___ Or, when we’re unable to respect those differences, we should apologize to our friends giving reasons why we can’t agree with them. That builds respect.
A. But you know what’s more wrong
B. What do those regrets lead to eventually
C. But it can be hard to keep long-term friendships.
D. Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.
E. Others may hang around, but with one foot out the door.
F. We have to make room for these differences among our friends.
G. It means you may not fully recognize the different ways each person lives.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had a whole to-do list about what to do this past summer, but falling into a river wasn’t one of them.
My family and I were going to camp next to the Russian River with my best friend Peter and his family. The moment I saw the river, I thought I could walk across it. But, as I looked closer, I could hear the rapids roaring (咆哮).
“We probably will not be able to get across,” I said to myself. All of a sudden, a voice cried out behind me, “Hi!” It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make me jump. Then Peter started roaring with laughter, almost enough to cover the sound of the river. I had to say, that was pretty funny.
By the time we sat down for dinner, I had told Peter about my plan. At first, he wasn’t up for an adventure, which wasn’t like Peter...or maybe he wasn’t feeling well. After I convinced (说服) him, we searched the river for the best place to cross.
When my dad called us to come back, we had searched the river within a quarter-mile radius (半径). That night, it rained.
The next day, the river was roaring louder. Overnight, the Russian River turned into the “‘Rushin’ River”. It was time for our adventure. We put on our swimsuits quickly. As we went into the cold water, I started to get nervous. I was so afraid as to slip (滑倒) on a stone and fall. The moment we stepped out of the water, Peter laughed at me. But suddenly his face paled.
I followed his line of sight, and couldn’t find what was so frightening (令人害怕的). But as I looked carefully, I felt afraid too. On the small hill not too far there was a mountain lion that almost couldn’t be seen. Its hair was the same sandy brown as the dry grass behind it. We were in an impossible situation. If we moved, the mountain lion could attack us, but if we stood still, the mountain lion could also attack us.
We both shouted at the same time and ran into the water.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We got out of the water in the end.

【答案】范文：
We both shouted at the same time and ran into the water. As we did so, we both slipped on a rock and fell. If the ground had been level we would have made it across with no problem. But, then we wouldn’t have had a story to tell. What really happened was we slipped. The river bed was very uneven on the bottom. Peter caught hold of a rock and pulled me up by my foot. Our hearts were racing as we struggled to keep our balance in the rushing water.
We got out of the water in the end. I couldn’t help but look back at the mountain lion, my heart still pounding with fear. It was just standing there looking at us, its eyes sharp but not showing any sign of chasing. I was sure that it wanted to kill us but for some strange reason, it didn’t. As we walked back hurriedly to our campsite, I thought of what had just happened. I thanked the mountain lion for sparing us, still feeling a bit shaken. Peter and I exchanged a relieved glance, both glad to have escaped unharmed.
