四、阅读理解。
I walked home with my friend Jerry after school. He waved（挥手）goodbye and headed off to his house. When I was walking alone, I suddenly noticed a boy in front of me. He was carrying some of the same school books as mine.
He seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice, but I couldn't understand the words. I caught up with him and said, “Hello there.”
He was surprised and dropped one of his books. I picked it up and handed it to him. He said “Thank you” in a strange way, like with a strong accent（口音）.
“Your science book is just like mine.”
“Oh, yes, it is,” he said.
We soon began walking and chatting together. It turned out he was in my science class, and I didn't even know it! His name was Ahmad, and his family had just moved here this school year. Ahmad was a hard name to pronounce correctly, but just about the time we reached his house, I could say it quite easily. He invited me into his house, and it seemed like a much better choice than to head right home to start my homework. His family treated me like a special guest. He said in his culture, people should treat strangers very kindly. His mum brought out some great snacks and offered me some tea. Ahmad's father and two sisters wanted to hear all about me, my family and my schooling. But their story opened up a whole new world for me! Ahmad's family had to leave their lifelong home because of the war. They left with only what they could carry. His family was happy to feel safe here, and they seemed pleased that Ahmad brought a friend home.
My friendship with Ahmad has continued. I realize that your friends don't have to be just like you. There is an old saying, “Variety is the spice（香料）of life.”
() 20. Where did the writer meet Ahmad?

C. On his way home.

() 21. What can we know about Ahmad's family?

A. Difference.

答案
20.C 21.C 22.A 23.D
解析
20. 根据文章第一段内容，作者放学后和朋友杰瑞道别后独自走在回家路上，第一次注意到Ahmad，二人由此相遇。A选项作者之前根本不知道Ahmad是自己科学课的同学，并非在课上遇见；B选项文中没有提及校门的相关场景；D选项杰瑞家也不是二人的相遇地点，三个选项均不符合原文，选C。
21. 由文章第六段内容可知，Ahmad的家人把作者当作特殊客人，拿出零食、提供茶水，还热情询问作者的相关情况，说明他们热烈欢迎作者。A选项文中提到Ahmad一家是这学年刚搬来的，不是很多年前就搬到这里；B选项文中提到Ahmad的名字很难正确发音；D选项他们离开家乡时只带了自己能搬动的东西，并非什么都没带，三个选项均不符合原文，选C。
22. 根据最后一段前一句“I realize that your friends don't have to be just like you.”，意思是朋友不必和你完全一样，可推断划线词Variety的含义是“差异、不同”，对应选项A的Difference。
23. 通读全文可知，Ahmad来自因战争搬迁的特殊家庭，和作者原本的成长背景差异很大，但二人依然成为了好友，作者从这段友谊中了解到背景不同的人也可以成为朋友，选D。
