【分析】
首字母短文填空需先通读全文把握主旨，再结合上下文语境、固定搭配、语法规则（如时态、非谓语、词性）推断每个空的单词。具体思路：先理解文章围绕友谊展开的语境，再逐空结合前后文提示、固定搭配及首字母要求推导单词，同时注意单词的正确形式（如单复数、动名词、过去式等）。
【解析】
1. 第1空：根据“wore her hair”（梳头发）的语境及首字母p，可知填表示发型的名词ponytail（马尾辫）；
2. 第2空：由后文“她很有趣”的描述，结合固定搭配sense of humour（幽默感），填humour；
3. 第3空：对应“让周围人笑”的内容，填可数名词复数jokes（笑话）；
4. 第4空：根据后文“陪伴我、提供建议”的行为，填形容词caring（体贴的）；
5. 第5空：结合固定搭配feel down（情绪低落），主语为I，一般现在时，填feel；
6. 第6空：固定搭配give up（放弃），like为介词，后接动名词，故填giving；
7. 第7空：常用祈使句表达Don’t worry（别担心），填worry；
8. 第8空：固定搭配cheer sb up（使某人振作），此处为过去发生的事，用过去式cheered；
9. 第9空：固定短语in common（共同），填common；
10. 第10空：结合“有Lily在身边不会无聊”的语境，feel后接形容词bored（感到无聊的）。

八、阅读表达
Do you care about your parents? “Yes, of course,” you may answer. “I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day. And I give my father a present on Father’s Day.” Then what about the other days of a year? Always remember to think about your parents. Not just on some important days.
I have a friend, Kate. She lives on her own. Her parents live in another city.
One day I went to see her, and we had a nice chat. Then she wanted to make a call. She dialed（拨打）the number, but then she put the phone down. After about ten seconds, she dialed the number again. “Hi, Mum...” Later I asked, “Why did you dial the number twice?” She smiled and said, “My parents are old. They can’t be quick to answer a call. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them enough time.”
My friend is a good girl. She is always thinking about her parents. You also want to be a good child, right? So, why not learn from her?
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(每小题答案不超过5个词)
1. Who is the writer’s friend?

2. How many times did Kate dial the phone number?

3. Why did Kate dial her parents’ number again after a few seconds?

4. What should we learn from Kate?

5. What do you think of Kate?

1. Kate.
2. Twice.
3. To give them enough time.
4. Think about parents often.
5. She is a good/thoughtful/caring girl.（言之有理即可）

【分析】
做本题需根据每个问题的关键词，定位原文对应内容，提取关键信息，同时严格遵循“答案不超过5个词”的要求。具体思路：1. 找作者的朋友→定位原文第二段第一句；2. 数拨号次数→定位第三段拨号的动作描述；3. 找再拨号的原因→定位Kate的解释；4. 找学习内容→定位最后一段关于向Kate学习的表述；5. 评价Kate→定位最后一段对她的评价，提取信息时需简洁，符合字数限制。
【解析】
1. 问题问作者的朋友是谁，原文第二段明确说明“I have a friend, Kate.”，直接提取关键信息Kate；
2. 问题问Kate拨号次数，原文第三段提到“she dialed the number...then put it down...after ten seconds, dialed again”，共两次，故答案为Twice；
3. 问题问再拨号的原因，原文Kate解释“I just want to give them enough time.”，提炼后符合字数要求；
4. 问题问从Kate身上学什么，原文最后强调要记得常想着父母，故答案为Think about parents often；
5. 问题问Kate的特点，原文最后评价“My friend is a good girl.”，提取关键表述即可。
【答案】
1. Kate.
2. Twice.
3. To give them enough time.
4. Think about parents often.
5. She is a good girl.
