Ⅱ. 阅读理解(12分)
A
“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
Friends are important to us. Friends help us get through hard times. Friends also influence us a lot. Let’s enjoy two poems about friendship.

Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene (场景) of his friend seeing him off. The US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison (比较). His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere (真挚的).
()11. What did Li Bai describe in the poem?
A. Ships on the lake.
B. Cherry blossoms.
C. Wang Lun seeing him off.
D. Songs sung by Li Bai.
()12. What does the underlined word “It” refer to?
A. The ship.
B. Love.
C. The Lake of Peach Blossoms.
D. The song.
()13. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The end of the friendship.
B. The writers of the poems.
C. The comparison of people.
D. The analysis (分析) of the poems.
B

11. C 细节理解题。根据“Li Bai described the scene of his friend seeing him off.”可知，李白描述了朋友汪伦为他送行的场景。
12. C 词义猜测题。根据 However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be 和“It is not so deep,”可知，画线词指代桃花潭。
13. D 主旨大意题。根据“Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories.”可知，两首诗在各自的文化中都很出名，但是它们讲述了不同的故事，所以最后一段是对两首诗的分析。

【分析】
这是一篇围绕两首友谊主题诗歌的英语阅读理解题，包含细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意三类基础题型。解题思路如下：
1. 第11题是细节理解题，需定位原文中关于李白诗歌描述内容的关键句子，匹配选项选出答案；
2. 第12题是词义猜测题，需结合画线词所在句的上下文语境，前文提到“桃花潭”的深度，据此推断画线词的指代内容；
3. 第13题是主旨大意题，需梳理最后一段的核心表述，明确该段是对两首诗歌的分析，从而确定段落主旨。
【解析】
11. 细节理解题：根据原文“Li Bai described the scene of his friend seeing him off.”可知，李白在诗中描述的是朋友汪伦为他送行的场景，对应选项C。A选项“湖上的船”、B选项“樱花”、D选项“李白唱的歌”均与原文内容不符，故排除。
12. 词义猜测题：画线词“It”所在句前文提到“However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be”，结合后文“It is not so deep”可知，此处It指代前文提到的“桃花潭”，对应选项C。A、B、D选项不符合上下文的指代逻辑，故排除。
13. 主旨大意题：最后一段开头指出两首诗在各自文化中著名但故事不同，接着分别分析了李白和罗伯特·弗罗斯特诗歌的内容与主题，核心是对两首诗歌的分析，对应选项D。A选项“友谊的结局”、B选项“诗歌的作者”、C选项“人物的比较”均不是该段主旨，故排除。
