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(比赛) 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 (从长远看), 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

小题1:词义猜测题。But she often gets unhappy when I get better grades than her –she really gets jealous.句意：但是当我分数考得比她好时，她常常会不高兴。她真的妒忌我。根据前半句可知，jealous意为嫉妒的。故选B

小题3:推理判断题。根据Should I keep taking her as my friend?句意：我应该继续把她当成我的朋友吗？从这个问题可知Alice的问题是她不知道她是否能再和Linda交朋友。故选C
小题4:细节理解题。根据Tell her you’re going to compete(比赛) with her and try to beat her in every test .句意：告诉她你要和她比赛，并且要试着每次考试都赢她。根据此句，故选A
小题5:推理判断题。根据If you can make your schoolwork into a game, you’ll both win in the long run (从长远看), and you will both start to get better grades in your subjects.句意：如果你能把你的学习变成游戏，从长远看，你们两个人都能获得好处，你们两人将会在各科考试中取得更好的成绩。从这句话中可知，如果采纳Eric的建议，Alice和Linda在学校会表现得更好。可知应选B |
