7．It's hard to adjust to（適應） attending a new school．Everything seems new．Making new friends can be hard too because people seem to have formed their own group．The following are some ways to help you make friends at a new school．
Make sure you are kind to whoever you meet at the new school．（36）G If you think that you will say something that will offend（冒犯，得罪）them，do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you．
Be yourself．（37）E If your friends don't accept you for you，they're not really friends．Most people belong in a certain group simply because they are being themselves and their unique personalities and interest fall into that type．For example，someone who likes sports may make friends with people who also like sports．
（38）A Anywhere，in the bathroom，near your locker，or at the water fountain，you can find someone that has something in common with you．All you need is to know how to approach them．Give a smile or say hi．Introduce yourself．Tell them your name and where you're from．You never know where you can find a nice friend．
（39）C You can take part in a sports club，an art club or a foreign language learning club．Even if you don't know anyone there，you'll all share a common interest，and you can experience people with different personalities from yours that have the same interest．
Figure out who the"mean girls"or the hot-headed jocks"（魯莽、急躁的肌肉男）are（40）F But don't be mean to them and don't completely avoid them because they may be nice people．Also stay away from people who are in gangs and do criminal activities．
A．Make the first move．
B．Do something nice for someone．
C．Join after-class activities you like．
D．Make eye contact with other people．
E．Never change who you are to try to fit in．
F．These are the people that you might want to avoid for a while．
G．Make sure to be nice to people of all cultures and backgrounds．
分析 本文主要向人們介紹在一所新的學校里交到新朋友的方法．
解答 36．G 考查上下文邏輯．根據前一句Make sure you are kind to whoever you meet at the new school你一定要友好對待你在新學校遇到的任何人．后一句Make sure to be nice to people of all cultures and backgrounds．一定要善待所有文化背景的人．符合邏輯，所以答案選G．
37．E 考查上下文邏輯．根據前句be yourself做你自己，后文句子Never change who you are to try to fit in永遠不要改變你自己，以適應他人，后文如果你朋友不能接受你那他就不是你真正的朋友，所以選項E符合邏輯．
38．A 考查上下文聯系．根據下文句子All you need is to know how to approach them．Give a smile or say hi．Introduce yourself．Tell them your name and where you're from．你所需要的就是知道如何接近他們．微笑或者說你好．介紹你自己．告訴他們你的名字和你來自哪里．這些行為都是告訴你要主動交朋友，所以答案選A．
39．C 考查上下文邏輯．根據后文You can take part in a sports club，an art club or a foreign language learning club．你可以參加一個體育俱樂部，一個藝術俱樂部或外語學習俱樂部．這些都是學習之外的活動，所以C選項Join after-class activities you like參加課外活動符合前文邏輯．
40．F 考查上下文聯系．根據下一句But don't be mean to them and don't completely avoid them 但是不要對他們太刻薄，也不要完全回避他們．可見前文說的是你想回避他們，所以答案選F．
點評 七選五"這樣的題型，主要目的在于"考查考生對文章的整體內容和結構以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握．解題時最主要的兩個步驟就是1．理清文章的邏輯和結構，2．在所給的原文中找出關鍵詞或者說是線索詞．文章的整體思路能幫助你在答案中篩選出符合邏輯的選項，關鍵詞則能幫助你確定更多的細節，排除相近的選項．這些技巧多練練就能孰能生巧
