    used to
  2. B.

  3. C.
    are used to
  4. D.
    used to be
A
试题分析:be used to sth习惯于某事;used to do sth过去常常做某事. sth be used to do sth某物被用来做某事。句意:史密斯一家住在你们隔壁吗?——不,但是他们过去是。结合语境可知选A。
考点:used的用法
点评:used to的用法比较固定,需要注意的是used to do表示过去常常做某事,be used to表示习惯于某事。前者to是不定式符号,后接动词原形。后者to是介词,后接名词或者名词性短语。Used to do结构中use相当于行为动词,有词形变化。Be used to中used相当于形容词,无词形变化。

Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year her classmates voted(推举) her the favorite student. The friends she had were much more than those of anyone else.

One day Mini was caught yakkety-yakking(大声说笑) and ordered to stay back as punishment(惩罚). Staying back meant doing something “useful”, like helping in the library after school.

Now Mini’s school had a rule. Once a month, if you had something else to do the day you were punished, you could ask a friend to stand in for you.

Unluckily, her aunt was visiting Mini that day. That afternoon was the only chance Mini had of seeing her for another five years.

Mini needed someone to stand in for her. She asked Betty, her “best” friend. “Oh, no, Mini, I can’t,” Betty said. “I must help my brother do his homework.”

“Tony, will you stay back for me?” Mini asked another friend. “I wish you’d told me earlier. I have to go to a relative’s house with my father,” he said.

Now, Mini was beginning to doubt(怀疑) if even one of her friends would agree to stay. But she tried again. She asked three more friends and each one refused.

So, after school Mini stayed to help the librarian. And, when she found Mini crying after everyone had left, it was she who surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. “I may have many friends,” Mini said to herself, “but in reality I have none.”

1.What does staying back mean in Mini’s school?

A.It means you have to do more homework.

B.It means you must study harder.

C.It means you have to do something “useful”.

D.It means you should ask a friend for help.

2.How many friends did Mini ask for help? 

A.Two.

B.Three.

C.Four.

D.Five.

3.Who helped Mini in the end?

A.The teacher.

C.The librarian.

D.Nobody.

4.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “in reality”?

根据短文内容及首字母提示,补全空格内单词,使短文完整、通顺。(请在答题卡上写出完整单词) 

 True friends are hard to find. Often you thought you could believe in someone, b   1    later he or she may let you down (让你失望).

A true friend is someone who will always be there for you. Through good times or b   2    times, they will stand by your side. They will not l   3    you alone when things get difficult. They will accept you without trying to change you. A friend will b   4    new and exciting things into your life and make it richer.

True friends will keep your worst secrets as you will keep t   5   . They will be honest and you can always believe in them. If you talk to someone who you believe in, you don’t have to w   6    about what you may say. We can enjoy this freedom only with friends.

    Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend and keep the friendship b   7    you, you must do the same thing as well. Be there for your friends when they are in n   8    and share the good times with them. Offer them the same things they give to you. Friendship will break quickly if only one person is giving and p  9    effort into it.

   You will find that there is nothing more valuable t   10    having a true friend by your side to share life with, just as someone says, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized (珍惜) than true friendship”.
