Today, Jackson wants to make a new friend. He looks at the new student Billy in class. He just came to London from America. Yesterday was his first day at school. He looked very shy and didn't say a word to anyone.
When class is over, Jackson stands up and follows Billy outside.
“Hi Billy,” Jackson says as they walk outside. “Do you want to play basketball?”
“No. I'm not very good at basketball.”
“Do you want to play football?” Jackson asks.
“No. I'm not interested in that.” Billy walks away and sits on the ground of the school yard.
Jackson doesn't know what to do. “ ▲ ,” Jackson thinks. He walks to Billy and sits next to him.
“Do you like cars?” Jackson asks Billy.
“Sure!” Billy smiles.
Jackson takes out two toy cars from his pocket. “My brother has many toy cars and always gives me his old ones.” He gives a car to Billy.
“Great! I love Mustangs(野马汽车)!” Billy rolls the car back and forth on the ground.
“Me too!” Jackson says. “It's my favourite car!”
“My dad has a real Mustang! You should come to my house and see it this weekend!”
“I'd love to!” Jackson says.
“Thanks for asking me to play,” Billy says. “I have a hard time making friends.”
“Well, you made one today,” Jackson says. He is so happy that he tried one more time. He is now very sure that they are going to be best friends.

【语篇导读】本文讲述了杰克逊和新来的同学比利交朋友的故事。
1. D 提示:细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“Yesterday was his first day at school. He looked very shy and didn't say a word to anyone.”可知，昨天是比利来上学的第一天，他很害羞，没和任何人说话。
2. D 提示:推理判断题。根据上文杰克逊询问比利的几个问题，并结合下文“‘Do you like cars?’Jackson asks Billy.”可推知，杰克逊想和比利交朋友，于是提议一起玩，但比利对杰克逊的提议不感兴趣，不知所措的杰克逊试图想出能让比利感兴趣的提议，因此“让我再试一次”最适合置于空处。
3. C 提示:细节理解题。通读全文可知，杰克逊班上来了位新同学比利。下课后，杰克逊跟着比利走出教室，杰克逊想邀请比利一起打篮球或踢足球，可比利都拒绝了。杰克逊从口袋里掏出哥哥送给自己的两辆玩具车，分给比利一辆，两个人玩得很开心。这样，比利在学校结识到了新朋友。所以正确顺序是 e-b-d-a-c。
4. D 提示:标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了杰克逊和新来的同学比利交朋友的故事，因此“学校里的新朋友”最适合作为文章标题。

【分析】
本文是一篇关于学生交友的英语记叙文，包含4道阅读理解题，分别考查细节理解、推理判断、事件顺序排序、标题归纳。解题思路为：首先通读全文，理解文章大意与核心内容；接着针对每道题的题干，定位原文对应信息，结合选项逐一分析排除，选出符合要求的答案。具体到各题：1题需定位原文中关于Billy第一天上学的细节，匹配选项；2题需结合空处上下文的情节，推理杰克逊的心理活动；3题需梳理全文事件的先后顺序，按原文时间线排列；4题需总结全文核心内容，提炼最贴合的标题。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据第一段最后两句“Yesterday was his first day at school. He looked very shy and didn't say a word to anyone.”可知，Billy第一天上学时没和任何人说话，对应选项D。A选项未提及排球，B选项Billy来自美国而非Jackson和Billy都在美国，C选项Jackson想交朋友而非不想，故排除A、B、C，选D。
2. 推理判断题：上文杰克逊邀请Billy打篮球、踢足球都被拒绝，下文杰克逊转而问Billy是否喜欢汽车，说明他想再尝试找话题，因此“Let me try it one more time”（让我再试一次）最适合置于空处，选D。A选项“找别人”不符合语境，B选项“他可能不喜欢我”无依据，C选项“离开”与下文他坐过去矛盾，故排除A、B、C，选D。
3. 细节排序题：通读全文可知，事件顺序为：e（Jackson的哥哥给Jackson玩具车）→b（Billy走出教室）→d（Jackson邀请Billy打篮球）→a（Jackson给Billy玩具车）→c（Billy在学校交到新朋友），对应选项C，选C。
4. 标题归纳题：全文围绕Jackson和新来的同学Billy在学校交朋友的故事展开，核心是“学校里的新朋友”，对应选项D。A选项“有趣的游戏”偏离主题，B选项仅讲Jackson太片面，C选项“新学校的活动”未突出交友核心，故排除A、B、C，选D。
