B.Unconcerned. C.Disapproving. D.Doubtful.31.What is the text mainly about?A.Strong bones are important for life. B.Being active is the key to strong bones.C.Bones should be strengthened at early ages. D.Active teens build strong bones for life.DAlmost all children want to become a good student.But what makes a good student?Usually,a good student shows many characteristics.For example,a good student possesses knowledge that is not just about books but also about present affairs and others.This allows him/her to draw from whatever he/she possesses and use it in his/her studies.A good student can plan and organize not only his/her things but his/her thoughts as well.Moreover,he/shes also someone who is sincere and does his/her work well and smartly.Most importantly,a good student has strong academic resilience（韧性）.Namely,he/shes willing to stick to academic tasks even when problems arise.Lets say that 10-year-old Roger and Tory have nearly the same math skills. Roger,however,has higher academic resilience.So,when their teacher introduces a challenging new type of math problem,Roger is more likely than Tory to fight to master the new math skill due to his character.Being academically resilient is an important key in academic success.Using the previous example,Rogers success in the math skill isnt based on some natural intelligence or talent with math,but occurs because he has greater fortitude to learn the skill.So,when it comes to being a good student,one of the things you must do is develop your academic resilience.To achieve this,you should learn to ask for help.Actually,an important part of learning includes getting answers wrong. This offers a chance to clarify understanding.So,if something doesnt make sense to you,connect with your teacher, find a study partner in class or borrow notes from someone doing well in the class.Besides,developing a plan for academic and personal success is important as well.32.What plays the most significant role in making a good student?A.Possessing rich knowledge. B.Knowing how to organize thoughts.C.Doing work well and smartly. D.Owning strong academic resilience.33.How does the text explain academic resilience?A.By telling a story. B.By giving an example.C.By listing some facts. D.By analyzing causes.34.What does the underlined word fortitude in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.Will. B.Access. C.Instruction. D.Decision.35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.A good student doesnt take notes in class.B.A good student doesnt need to ask for help.C.A good student should learn to develop a study schedule.D.Getting answers wrong is a must in making a good student.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone loses friends.Whether its due to a disagreement or simply growing apart,its a normal part of life.It can be awkward to deal with a former friend,especially if you are part of the same social circle.Work on dealing with your former friend in a respectful manner.Try to process your emotions（情感）as well._36_Its appropriate to be sad about a lost friend.Then,move forward by looking for new friends.Think about why the friendship ended and how to make different choices in the future.Think about talking it out._37_Its often better to gain closure than to simply disappear from a relationship.Try to stay neutral（中立的）in social situations.You do not want to force mutual（共同的）friends into a position where they have to make choices or take sides._38_Stay away from social media._39_You may become envious or angry if you see your friend posting happy pictures of him or herself.Try not to enter your social media accounts for a while.You can also stop yourself from seeing your former friends updates._40_The fact is,ending friendships is natural.Many people,especially as they grow and change,cut out unnecessary friendships from their life.Often,you and a friend simply grow apart or realize you are not harmonious.
