B
(2025·武汉一模)Vanessa and Niki had just begun a friendship. Niki was new to the school, and Vanessa had thought she was a snob(势利的人). That was mostly because Niki hardly said anything, and besides, that was the rumour(谣言) about her. But then, Niki had forgotten her notebook in the classroom by accident, and Vanessa had returned it to her. Then the two girls started to talk, and they got to know each other. Now Vanessa knew that Niki wasn’t a snob, but she still didn’t understand why Niki wouldn’t talk to anyone.
One day, Niki explained herself, “I don’t really know anyone here except you, and I’m kind of shy. I know everybody thinks I’m a snob, but I’m not. I just don’t know what to say to people.”
Vanessa had an idea for helping Niki. “If my other friends get to know you,” she told Niki, “they’ll like you too. So why don’t you sit with my friends and me at lunch tomorrow? Then everybody will see what you’re like.” Niki was very doubtful, but she was tired of everyone thinking she was a snob. So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends.
The next day, Vanessa and Niki waited in the dining hall for Vanessa’s other friends. Niki was nervous, but Vanessa said, “Don’t worry. Just be yourself. You’ll be fine.” Finally, everyone else arrived.
One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, “Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.” Niki’s eyes were filled with tears.
Vanessa took a breath and then said, “I’m sitting with Niki because she’s my friend and she’s nice. How about finding out for yourself instead of believing every rumour you hear?”
For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table. At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking. By the time lunch was over, Niki realised that Vanessa was right—all she had to do was to be herself. And what everyone else needed to do was to stop believing rumours.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述新同学 Niki 因寡言被贴上“势利”标签，通过朋友 Vanessa 的帮助打破谣言的故事。
5. C 细节理解题。根据“... I'm kind of shy... I just don't know what to say to people.”可知，Niki 因害羞和不知如何与人交流而寡言。故选 C。
6. B 推理判断题。在第四段中，Niki 很紧张，Vanessa 对她说“Don't worry. Just be yourself. You'll be fine.”，其中“Just be yourself.”是 Vanessa 给 Niki 的建议，意思是让 Niki 做自己，符合前文“If my other friends get to know you... they'll like you too.”故选 B。
易错点拨 A 选项“You'll be fine.”是安慰的话，不是建议；C 选项“They'll like you too.”只是 Vanessa 的一种预测，不是建议；D 选项“Come on and eat with us.”是 Vanessa 的一个朋友说的，不是 Vanessa 的建议。
7. D 推理判断题。根据“By the time lunch was over... everyone else needed to do was to stop believing rumours.”暗示误会已开始消除，Niki 可能继续与他们共进午餐以巩固友谊。故选 D。
8. C 标题归纳题。全文围绕“谣言导致误解”展开，最终通过事实打破谣言，C 选项“不要轻信谣言”适合作本文标题。故选 C。
