Jenny，
I often think if I am as important to you as you are to me.
We had an unhappy time yesterday. I really felt sad after it and almost apologized (道歉) to you. However，you could still laugh and talk with others like nothing had happened. I suddenly realized that I was not that important to you. You didn’t even realize that I was angry and sad. What’s more，you even forgot my birthday this year.
Goodbye，my friend. I have closed my feeling toward you. It is sad to say goodbye，my friend. But it is meaningless for us to be friends any longer.
Lucy
Dear Lucy，
I’m sorry that I hurt you so much yesterday. But here is something I really need to tell you. I never thought the quarrel we had yesterday was as serious as you thought. I just felt tired and didn’t feel like going shopping. Susan and Lily are also my good friends. I couldn’t pretend (假装) not seeing them when they passed by. I also couldn’t let them know I was blue because of the quarrel. I didn’t want them to feel sad just because I was sad. I’m your best friend，but I don’t want to be your only friend. I don’t want to be with you all the time because sometimes I need to have my own time. I want to spend some time with my other friends and my brother. Please try to make more friends. You will feel much happier if you have more friends. And remember，I’m your best friend forever!
Jenny

试题分析：
小题1:推断题。第二段It is sad to say goodbye，my friend. But it is meaningless for us to be friends any longer.说再见是令人悲伤的，但对于我们来说，成为朋友已经是毫无意义的了。可知，Lucy在信中告诉Jenny她不再想和她做朋友了。故选B
小题2:细节题，由Jenny写给Lucy的信中，I never thought the quarrel we had yesterday was as serious as you thought. I just felt tired and didn’t feel like going shopping.我从不认为我们昨天的吵架像你想的那么严重。我只是觉得累了，不想去购物。可知，她们昨天吵架的原因是Jenny不想去购物。故选C
小题3:细节题。由Jenny写给Lucy的信中，Please try to make more friends. You will feel much happier if you have more friends.请试着去结交更多的朋友，如果你有更多的朋友，你将会更加快乐。故选A
小题4:推断题。I also couldn’t let them know I was blue because of the quarrel.
由于吵架肯定导致人们不高兴。故可知，如果说一个人blue,则意味着她是不高兴的、悲伤的。故选B
小题5:推断题。由Jenny写给Lucy的信中，我们了解到Jenny是Lucy唯一的朋友，Jenny让Lucy尝试去结交更多的朋友。信中并没有说Jenny和Lucy都是学生，也未提到患难见真情。排除A,C,D。故选B
点评：本文讲述了Lucy对于Jenny昨天没有和她一起去购物而生气，并感到Jenny对自己并没有自己对她一样在意，所以她想和Jenny绝交。而Jenny对昨天的事情进行解释，并建议她要多交朋友，希望能够两人之间多体谅。文章生词不多，对于细节题的作答要注意将题目带到文章中找答案。对于主旨推断题则需要利用排除法和对主旨的把握来答题。 |

A few years ago, I moved into a new house in Los Angeles. Soon after, a family moved in next door. It wasn’t the best of times for me. I had just divorced(离婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard. One night, I heard someone from the yard next door, “Tom ! How are you, Tom? ”
I couldn’t see anybody through the trees, but I answered, “I’ m good.”
“Good!” said the voice.
“What’s your name?” I asked.
“Eric.” Then I heard someone say, “Eric, don’t bother him.”
“Okay!” Eric said. “Talk to you tomorrow!”
Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends. We’d hang out in our yards, and Eric, who was almost 17 at the time and look liked a 13-year-old, would tell me his ideas and dreams. Eric’s dad, Alec Gores, is a billionaire(亿万富翁), the head of Gores Technology Group.
One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor. My son’s an actor, too. And he’s very good. I want you to write a movie for him. He wants to do something like True lies.” That’s the movie I made in 1994. His father has given Eric the great gif of confidence. He believes he can do anything he wants. He also offered to fund the movie. And that’s how The Kid & I, which opens in November, began.
Well, I really have to say that opportunity(机会)lies anywhere.

“I don’t believe in Santa Claus!” Trogmire announced.
Tremor looked shocked. “Why not?” he asked.
“Because he never leaves me any gifts at all,” Trogmire growled.
Tremor thought about the evidence for a few seconds. “Maybe,” he suggested, “it’s because when Santa checked his list, your name wasn’t in the ‘nice’ column.”
“So, he could at least bring me a lump of coal!” Trogmire replied. “And,” he went on, “Troubled doesn’t believe in Santa, either.”
“Right,” Tremor said, “because he saw his parents putting the ‘From Santa’ presents under the tree. But I know the truth about that. My mother found out from Troubled’s mother. When Troubled’s parents got an e-mail from Santa, saying that he would never bring Troubled another gift, they didn’t want to tell him the truth. So now they buy presents and pretend they’re from Santa.”
“What did Troubled do to get Santa so mad?” Trogmire questioned.
“I think it had something to do with the time he put glue paper all over the living room floor on Christmas Eve, and left a sign that said, ‘Trapped like a rat!’ hanging over the fireplace.” said Tremor.
“I guess Santa doesn’t have a sense of humour,” sighed Trogmire. “Well, at least I’m not the only one who Santa scratched off his name list.”
小题1:Why doesn’t Santa leave presents for Trogmire or Troubled?| A．Their parents won’t let him leave gifts. | B．He can’t find their homes. | | C．He often forgets their names. | D．They have behaved badly. |
小题2:Trogmire and Troubled don’t believe in Santa because ________.| A．Santa has no sense of humor | B．Santa doesn’t give them anything | | C．they are too naughty to believe | D．Tremor convinced them he wasn’t real |
小题3:Troubled’s parents never ________.| A．told him about the message from Santa | B．loved him very much | | C．cared about how he behaved | D．bought him anything |
小题4:Trogmire’s last comment could be an example of the saying _______.| A．Misery(苦难,不幸) loves company | B．Easy come, easy go | | C．Beauty is only skin deep | D．Love me, love my dog |
