这是一道基础的介词填空题，解题思路非常清晰：首先定位每个空格前后的核心关键词，结合课内所学的高频固定短语搭配，再匹配句子的语义逻辑验证通顺，就能得出正确答案。我们可以逐个对应：第20题抓住动词agree和后面的指人名词my friend，回忆agree的相关搭配；第21题抓住前后重复的day，回忆和day相关的固定短语；第22题抓住开头的Thank you和后面的动名词结构，回忆thank的常用搭配；第23题抓住动词pick和后文的apples，回忆pick相关的短语含义；第24题抓住动词laugh和后面的anyone，回忆laugh的固定搭配，所有考点都是课内要求掌握的基础内容，结合语义很容易推导答案。
【解析】
20. 考查固定搭配，agree with sb. 是固定短语，意为“同意某人的观点”，句意为“我同意我朋友的观点，分享让我们快乐”，符合语境，故填with。
21. 考查固定短语，day by day是固定表达，意为“日复一日，一天天地”，句意为“通过日复一日一起给花园浇水，我们不仅看到花朵绽放，也看到友谊增长”，符合语境，故填by。
22. 考查固定搭配，thank sb. for doing sth. 是固定结构，意为“因做某事感谢某人”，句意为“谢谢你为我扶门，你太善良了”，符合语境，故填for。
23. 考查固定短语，pick up是固定搭配，此处意为“捡起，拾起”，句意为“她转身帮老人捡起苹果”，符合语境，故填up。
24. 考查固定搭配，laugh at sb. 是固定短语，意为“嘲笑某人”，句意为“我很热心，事实上我任何时候都不会嘲笑其他人”，符合语境，故填at。

Ⅳ. Reading comprehension.
After something bad happens, how do you think about it? Do you focus on the
good side or the bad side?
Jerry is a manager(经理) of a restaurant. When he leaves to work at another
restaurant, many workers go with him, too. They want to work with Jerry because he
is always happy and has something good to say. If a worker is having a bad day, Jerry
is there telling the worker how to look at the good side of things.
I ask him, "I don't understand it! How can you always be a positive person?"
Jerry answers, "Each morning I wake up, I say to myself, 'Jerry, you can choose
to be in a good mood or a bad mood.' ▲ Each time something bad happens, I
choose to learn from it instead of feeling down. Whenever someone comes to me in a
bad mood, I choose to help him or her see the positive side of life."
“Yeah, right. But it isn't that easy, is it?" I ask.
"Yes, it is," Jerry says. "The choice is yours. Life is in your own hands. You
can choose to be happy or sad. Why not choose a happy life?"

【分析】
这是一篇人物故事类阅读理解，解题时首先通读全文，明确文章核心是讲述乐观的餐厅经理Jerry始终选择以积极心态面对生活的理念，之后逐题回原文定位线索匹配答案：第25题直接查看开篇内容判断文章引入方式；第26题结合Jerry一贯的正向引导风格，推理符合他言行的选项；第27题结合前后文逻辑和Jerry的积极人设，选择衔接通顺的句子；第28题往前追溯it指代的前文内容即可得出答案。
【解析】
25. 细节理解题：文章开篇连续抛出两个问题“After something bad happens, how do you think about it? Do you focus on the good side or the bad side?”引出下文内容，可知作者是通过提问的方式开启全文，A讲故事、B举例子、C列数字均不符合开篇特征，故选D。
26. 推理判断题：根据原文内容，Jerry始终会引导他人看到事物积极的一面，鼓励他人正向面对挫折。当你数学考了E感到难过时，A是负面批评，B表述不符合常理，C的建议和Jerry一贯的引导风格不符，D“努力学习下次你就能拿到A”是正向鼓励的内容，完全符合Jerry的行事特点，故选D。
27. 逻辑衔接题：前文提到Jerry说每天醒来都可以选择好心情或者坏心情，结合后文他所有的选择都是偏向积极正向的，可知此处顺承的内容是“我选择拥有好心情”，B赖床、C无法自主选择、D向他人求助均和后文的积极理念矛盾，故选A。
28. 代词指代题：划线词it所在句为“Each time something bad happens, I choose to learn from it instead of feeling down.”，句意为“每次坏事发生，我选择从它身上学习而不是消沉”，可知it指代的就是前文提到的“坏事”，即something bad，故选A。
