￡23，870.According to a study, a BFF(Best Friend Forever) does not come cheap with devoted pals blowing ￡4，679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime.And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, big­hearted Britons go the extra mile and spend ￡ 168 on pick­me­ups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship.There’s a further ￡242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason.And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping(巨大的)￡18，000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage.The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect ￡ 431 spent on them and a further ￡ 283 on gifts when they have children.And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain ￡ 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking.The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives.However, they come at a cost.From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up.But when we asked people to compare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”5．What does the underlined word “big­hearted” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Ambitious.　　　　　 B．Generous.C．Troublesome.  D．Energetic.6．To keep the relationship, where do BFFs spend most money?A．Buying birthday presents.B．Cheering up a friend in low spirits.C．Paying for

rewarding but hard to keep.D．It’s changeable but worth possessing.8．How is the passage developed?A．By listing figures.B．By giving examples.C．By analyzing causes.D．By making comparisons.C(2017·西宁三校4月联考)Several days ago I was badly late for dinner with Sigourny Luz, the Australian actor who shares my house with me, and my younger son, Jake Lyall, who is an actor in California, but was visiting.I had been kept by an event for the young at the English­Speaking Union about speech­making.It dealt with not only how to make a speech, but also how to assess any speeches they may be called upon to judge.And, with all this coming my way, I found myself, as ever, feeling incredibly lucky to have English as my native tongue.It’s so easy to read the books of what used to be the empire and with the news and so many films coming from across the Atlantic.Also, even apart from these admirable enjoyments, there’s the likelihood that in most of the places where they speak different languages, there will be one person, at least, who is paid to cope with the English language.We are, on the whole, understood wherever we go.Although Mandarin and Spanish are now, in fact, the two most common languages in the world, English is still seen by many as being the most influential.It is, according to scholars such as cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, the language that connects the most people worldwide.English is probably as universal as it is likely to get.I was late for that dinner, but I employed my recently brushed­up skills and gave a polished speech to make my apologies—and my companions both understood me perfectly.9．What led to the author’s lateness?A．Being held up in a traffic jam.B．A job of teaching English.C．An event on speech­making.D．Assessing speeches as a judge.10．What may happen when English speakers travel abroad?A．They are treated much better.B．They often speak local languages.C．They employ someone as an interpreter.D．They needn’t worry about communication.11．Why does the author mention her lateness again?A．To deepen the theme of the passage.B．To show the importance of speech skills.C．To show her companions are considerate.D．To further prove convenience of using English.D(2017·湖北七市高三联考)Are you a social media addict？Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many “likes” you’ve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?Don’t worry, you’re not alone.We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media.Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh.It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed(沮丧的)．In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.Some of us certainly feel sad when we’re ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us.But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, “It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 5­6 years.You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships.” However,  Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre­existing issues than directly cause them.Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24­hour demands of their social media accounts.It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking？Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don’t want to miss out on a conversation that’s taking place online.But we need to know when to switch off our virtual(虚拟的) online world and connect with the real world instead.12．Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?A．People checking social media frequently.B．People surfing the Internet regularly.C．People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.D．People longing for more messages.13．Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?A．To introduce the coming topic.B．To give a more supporting example.C．To stress the importance of social media.D．To explain the cause of a social media addict.14．Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?A．Because they have more time and money.B．Because the virtual world is much more attractive.C．Because they want to attract more attention.D．Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.15．What’s the passage mainly about?A．It’s common for teenagers to be a social addict.B．Using smartphones does harm to people’s health.C．It’s better to stay away from virtual online world.D．Social media addiction contributes to depression.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)  根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2017·烟台诊断)Tests can be stressful even for the best students.16.________Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to

relationship”就是对它的进一步说明。此处指虽然在朋友哭泣时成为朋友的依靠并不需要花费什么， 但是英国人会为朋友付出更多， 他们会花 168 英镑来为朋友买令人振作的物品， 助其度过诸如关系破裂等困难时期。画线部分的意思应该是“慷慨的”， 故选B。6．D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“blowing ￡ 4, 679 on birthday presents” “spend ￡
