Part 2　Using language

能力提升练

Ⅰ.阅读理解

It is said that most people have no more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.

Also, there are no rules about friendship. There is no instruction in making friends, maintaining friendship, and finishing friendship if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than families. Others say that friends are temporary, and only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with those different views become friends, this can lead to problems.

Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendship. We may want it to be deeper or closer, or we may want to acquire more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendship, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again.

This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendship is for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendship. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened of starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they would like to get closer to us too. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.

Ⅱ.完形填空

Once upon a time, friendship was easy. I miss how spending time together used to be as simple as walking across the hall or picking up the 　1　 to say, “I’ve got wine, and I’m coming over.” I miss the way we could laugh and cry or talk about nothing for hours because we had 　2　 to go and nothing to do. And 　3　 we did, and whatever it was, laughing, crying, or talking was much more important anyway. 

These days, friendship feels much 　4　. Instead of walking across the hall with a bowl of cookies, we need to 　5　 for hours or board a plane to get together. Family responsibilities and work obligations(职责) leave us with 　6　 minutes, and when we collapse(瘫倒)in bed at night, we can barely gather the 　7　 to wash off our makeup, 　8　 carry on a phone conversation. Days and weeks have gone by and we communicate only by 　9　 or Facebook updates, and by the time we do get together, there is so much to say that we aren’t even sure where to start. 

I want a handful of real, true, and 　10　 friendship—not flocks of fake friends and casual acquaintances(熟人). I want to know that we’ll be friends whether we 　11　 within 10 minutes’ walk or a thousand miles away from each other. I want to know that we’ll be friends whether it’s as simple as walking across the street or as 　12　 as planning a girls’ weekend together. I want friends who are there not just when it’s easy, but when it’s hard. 

True friendship isn’t about being 　13　; it’s about loyalty and trust and the ability to be who we are with each other. True friendship has no limitation of time, 　14　 or differences. True friends know us inside out. They know our 　15　, so they better understand our present situation and will continue to be part of our future.

Ⅲ.语法填空

Everyone likes to have friends who are 　1　 (rely). When what we say matches what we do, we earn trust and friendship. Therefore, the　2　 (important) of keeping one’s promise cannot be stressed too much.  

There was a story of someone　3　 (break)his promise to his friend. Two men 　4　 were travelling through a forest together promised to help each other whatever danger threatened them. They had not gone far when a bear rushed them from some bushes.One man was a good climber, and climbed a nearby tree very quickly, but the other, seeing that he had no chance alone against the bear, fell flat 　5　 his back and pretended 　6　(be)dead.  

The bear came up to him and sniffed at him. The bear thought the man was dead, so he went off into the wood again without hurting him.When he had gone, the other traveller came down from his tree, and smilingly asked his partner what the bear 　7　(say) to him.“My best friend,” he said, “I saw the bear put his mouth close to your ear.” “He told me to tell you,” replied the other　8　 (calm), “that you were 　9　great coward, and that in the future I ought not to trust those who make fine promises, but will not stand by their friends in danger.” Don’t trust fine promises 　10　 you trust the person who makes them.

答案

能力提升练

Ⅰ.

1.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中“If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations. (如果这些数字是正确的,那么友谊在不同的情况下意味着不同的东西)”可知,第一段中的数字是用来引出本文主题的。故选B项。

2.C　主旨大意题。根据第二段中“there are no rules about friendship”“There is no instruction in...”和“People have very different opinions”可知,本段主要讲述了不同的人对友谊有不同的理解。故选C项。

3.B　细节理解题。第三段叙述了人们对友谊的“担心”,作者列举了以下几条:我们可能想和朋友的关系更深入或更亲密;我们可能想在生活中结交更多的朋友;我们没有时间来增进友谊;我们担心自己年纪太大而交不到朋友;我们因为搬家而为交友烦恼。故选B项。

4.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many(与他人在一起的需求是许多人共同的需求)”可知,我们大多数人都需要有朋友。故选A项。

5.D　推理判断题。根据末段最后两句的叙述“因此,我们不应该太害怕开始与未来可能成为我们朋友的人交谈:很可能他们也愿意与我们更亲近。记住人们说的话:陌生人是我们还没遇见的朋友”可知,作者对与陌生人交谈持积极的态度。uninterested不感兴趣的;cautious谨慎的;doubtful不确定的;positive积极的。故选D项。

Ⅱ.

1.A　“我”怀念过去和朋友一起度过时光的方式简单得像穿过走廊,或者拿起电话(phone)说:“我有酒,我这就过来。”根据下文中的to say...可知这里应指拿起电话(picking up the phone)。故选A。

2.B　“我”想念那样的状态,“我们”可以哭和笑,或者聊无关紧要的事一连聊上几个小时,因为“我们”无处(nowhere)可去,也无事可做。由　　　to go和nothing to do的并列关系可知选B。 

3.C　即便(even if)“我们”有处可去,有事可做,不管“我们”在做什么,笑、哭或者聊天无论如何都重要得多。此处重点理清did指代什么,由上文可知,did相当于had somewhere to go and something to do,再根据上下文逻辑关系可知选C。

4.D　如今,友谊让人觉得艰难(harder)得多了。由上段首句“...friendship was easy.”和下文描述的朋友相聚的困难可知,作者认为友谊在过去很容易维系,但如今变得艰难,故选D。

5.B　“我们”不是带着一碗饼干穿过走廊,而是需要开车(drive)数小时或者乘飞机去相聚。由本句中walking和board a plane可知,这里在叙述和朋友团聚的交通方式,而设空处和“乘坐飞机”在麻烦程度上是并列的,故选B。

6.A　要承担家庭和工作的双重责任,一天中最后剩下的时间没有几分钟。根据本段的主题(维系友谊变得艰难)可知,生活和工作的压力使留给自己的时间缩短。故选A。

7.C　当“我们”夜里累到瘫在床上的时候,“我们”几乎连卸妆的精力(energy)都没有,更不用说跟朋友打电话聊天了。故选C。

8.D　“我们”几乎没有精力洗掉妆容,更不用说(let alone)打电话了。上下文属于递进的逻辑关系,故选D。no wonder意为“难怪”,in case意为“以防万一”,let go of意为“放弃”,均与文意不符,故排除。

9.D　日子一天天、一周周地过去了,“我们”只通过短信(texts)和脸书更新的信息交流,而当“我们”真正聚在一起的时候,有太多话要说,以至于“我们”甚至不知道从何谈起。这里所填词和后面的Facebook updates并列,故选D。

10.C　“我”想要几段真实的、真正的、可靠的(solid)友谊,而不是一大群假朋友和泛泛之交。根据该空和real、true的并列关系以及fake和casual的反义关系进行选择,故选C。solid表示“可靠的”。

11.B　“我”想确信,无论“我们”与彼此居住(live)在步行10分钟以内的距离还是一千英里以外,“我们”都是朋友。故选B。由第二段开头讲的和朋友相聚需要开车几个小时或乘飞机可知,这里指朋友间住的距离的远近。

12.A　“我”想确信,无论是像过马路这样简单的事情,还是像一起计划一个女孩的周末这样具有挑战性的(challenging)事情,“我们”都是朋友。根据该空和上文simple的反义关系进行选择,故选A。

13.A　真正的友谊不必简单(easy);它是忠诚和信任,以及彼此相处时保持自我的能力。文章开始作者虽然表达了对过去简单友谊的怀念,但由上一段最后一句“I want friends who are there not just when it’s easy, but when it’s hard.”可知,作者其实并不是觉得简单的友谊一定好,艰难的友谊一定不好。故选A。

14.B　真正的友谊没有时间、距离(distance)和差异的限制。由上文提到的“...whether we live within 10 minutes’ walk or a thousand miles away from each other.”可知,作者叙述了对于“距离”的看法,故选B。

15.C　他们了解“我们”的过去(past),因此他们会更好地了解“我们”现在的情况,并将继续成为“我们”未来的一部分。根据下文的present、future可知选C。

Ⅲ.

1.reliable　考查形容词。此处作表语,应用形容词形式,rely的形容词为reliable。

2.importance　考查名词。空前为定冠词the,空后为介词of,因此设空处应用名词形式。句意:因此,遵守诺言的重要性怎么强调都不为过。

3.breaking　考查非谓语动词。该句中已有谓语was,故此处应用非谓语动词。someone与break之间为主动关系,故使用现在分词形式。句意:有一个关于某人违背对他的朋友的诺言的故事。

4.who/that　考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为名词men,空后句子缺少主语,故推测设空处引导定语从句。修饰men,指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故应用关系代词who或that。句意:要一起穿过森林的两个人承诺,无论什么危险危及他们,都要互相帮助。

5.on　考查介词。fall flat on one’s back某人仰面朝天。句意:一个人是爬树的好手,很快就爬上了附近的一棵树,但是另一个人看到自己没有独自对抗熊的可能性,就仰面朝天假装死了。

6.to be　考查非谓语动词。pretend to do sth.假装做某事,故填to be。

7.had said　考查时态。设空处为what引导的宾语从句的谓语,asked是过去发生的动作,而“say”发生在asked之前,因此表示过去的过去,应用过去完成时。句意:它(熊)走后,另一个旅行者从树上下来,微笑着问他的同伴熊对他说了什么。

8.calmly　考查副词。修饰动词replied应用副词形式。句意:另一个人平静地回答说:“它让我告诉你,你是个十足的懦夫,将来我不应该相信那些作出美好承诺但在危险中却不站在朋友一边的人。”

9.a　考查冠词。此处指“你是个十足的懦夫”,表示泛指,coward为可数名词,且great的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。

10.unless　考查连词。设空处前后为两个完整的句子,应用连词连接。此处指“不要相信美好的诺言,除非你信任许下诺言的人”。空处意为“除非”,故填unless。
