6.C根據(jù)“Let'sworktogether.”可知，此處指作者和爺爺作為一個團隊一起干活。7.B根Thewayheusedthescissorswasalittlestrange可知，作者沒有糾正爺爺用剪刀的方式，這里用代詞him代指爺爺。8.DHiswaymightbealittledifferent和itgotthejobdone是轉折關系，因此用but。9.A根據(jù)newways和toimitate可知，此處指別人向作者展示新的方法。10.D根據(jù)“Beingdifferentisfine,andthat'swhyIhavemyownwaysofdoingthings.”可知，此處指用與別人不同的方式去做事。三、1.B主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中“Youwanttomakenewfriends,buthowdoyoufindthem?Maybeitseemslikeeverybodyelsealreadyhashisorherownfriends.Butremember,there'salwaysroomformorefriends.”并通讀全文可知，這篇文章主要是關于如何結交新朋友。2.C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“It'shardwhenabestfriendisn'taround-maybebecauseheorshehasmovedtoadifferentschooloradifferentclass.”和“Youwanttomakenewfriends,buthowdoyoufindthem?”可推測，在休息或午餐時間，你可能會感到被冷落。故leftout意為“孤單的，孤獨的”，與lonely意思相近。3.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“Themostimportantthingtomakefriendsistobeafriend.Beingkind,beingfriendly...newfriends.”可推知，找到新朋友的最好方法就是首先應該做一個友好的、樂于助人的人。4.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Ifyoutalktoamaninalanguageheunderstands,thatgoestohishead.Ifyoutalktoamaninhisownlanguage,thatgoestohisheart.”可推知，一個人的母語承載著一定的感情。5.A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Overthelastcentury,hundredsoflanguageshavediedout.”可知答案。6.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“TheUnitedNationshassetFebruary21asInternationalMotherLanguageDay.Theorganizationwantspeopletopaymoreattentiontodyinglanguages.”可知，為了拯救瀕危語言，聯(lián)合國設立了國際母語日。7.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“AstheUSwriterRitaMaeBrownwrote,'Languageistheroadmapofaculture,Ittellswhereitspeoplecomefromandwheretheyaregoing.'”可知，語言是文化的重要組成部分。8.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Choosingtoforgivemeanschoosingtoletgooffthebadornegativeemotionsthatoneexperiencessothatwecanliveinpeaceandharmony.”可知，作者認為，寬恕的目的是讓我們生活在和平與和諧之中。9.A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Aftertwoyearsofarguing...mybrotherandIendedourfriendshipinacoldsilence.”和“Ithoughtfornightsabouthowtoreacttohisvisit.”可以推斷出，哥哥的來訪令作者感到很驚訝。10.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Isoughtadvicefrommanyfriends.MostofthemsaidthatIhaddonenothingwrong,soitwashewhoneededtocometomefirst.”可知，作者的大多數(shù)朋友都建議作者堅持讓她哥哥提前向她道歉。11.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句“I'matpeaceandhaveagreaterunderstandingandacceptanceofthepowerofforgivenessthroughthewholeexperience.”可以推斷出，作者寫這篇文章的目的是分享她對原諒的理解。12.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句“Myelderbroth
