五、阅读理解
Believe it or not, my friends often come first in my heart because I want to make them happy.
If anyone asks me for help, I always say, "Yes!" "Can you help me with English practice?" Grace
asked me on the first day after she became my deskmate. "Of course," I answered without hesitation. Grace has been working really hard on her studies and she needed my help though I didn't have much time left for her.
One day after school, while I was doing lots of homework, Grace's phone call came. She complained(抱怨) a lot and it made me feel bored, but I still felt bad about saying no. When Grace ended the call, it was 00:15 a.m. I still had homework left but I wanted to sleep. This was bad for a junior high school student in Grade Eight who is going to take an important exam later.
Finally I began to cry. I felt so tired and found that the stress had an effect(影响) on my health. I tried to get myself out. Studying is more important than other things, so Grace has to come the second. It's now important for me to say no, no, no.
"Can you give me a hand?" Grace asked. "Sorry. I just have to go over(复习) my Maths notes," I answered.
"All right. It's up to you," she said. I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply. Anyway, it's not so hard to say no at all.
To be honest, I have felt much happier since learning to say no. I have more time to spend on my study now. I still try my best to help others, but sometimes I say no because I know everyone has a limit.
()1. What's the meaning of the underlined word "hesitation" in Paragraph 1?
A. 思考 B. 想象 C. 犹豫 D. 欺骗
()2. The writer thinks is more important than other things to a junior high student.
A. helping classmates B. studying
C. making friends D. saying no to others
()3. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Grace had no time to study Maths.
B. Grace and the writer often stayed up too late.
C. The writer felt completely relaxed after saying no to Grace.
D. Grace and the writer shouldn't help each other.
()4. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. To spend more time on study. B. Helping friends is not so important.
C. How to make ourselves happy. D. We should learn to say no.

1.C 2.B 3.C 4.D

【分析】
1. 第1题是词义猜测题，需结合上下文语境推断词义：前文提到作者总是对朋友的请求说“yes”，当Grace请求帮助时作者立刻答应，说明没有犹豫，由此可判断划线词含义。
2. 第2题是细节理解题，需定位原文关键语句：直接找到作者明确表达“学习比其他事重要”的句子即可得出答案。
3. 第3题是细节理解题，需逐一核对选项与原文内容：将每个选项与原文对应信息对比，排除错误选项后选出正确答案。
4. 第4题是主旨大意题，需把握全文核心：通过作者的经历及最后总结，提炼出文章要传达的核心观点。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测题：根据第一段“我总是对朋友的请求说‘yes’”，当Grace请求帮助时，作者立刻答应，说明没有“犹豫”，故“hesitation”意为“犹豫”，选C。
2. 细节理解题：定位第三段“Studying is more important than other things”，可知作者认为学习比其他事情更重要，选B。
3. 细节理解题：A项原文未提及Grace没时间学数学；B项原文仅提到作者熬夜，未涉及Grace；C项对应第五段“I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply”，与原文一致；D项与原文“still try my best to help others”矛盾，故选C。
4. 主旨大意题：全文通过作者的亲身经历，最后点明学会说“no”后更开心、有更多时间学习，核心是告诉我们要学会拒绝，选D。
