解答 ECBGD
36 E 根據(jù)空格后面But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage."但是,對我們許多人來說,這個過程很難,需要勇氣."可知,前面是說一個過程對一些人來說很容易.這樣前后文才構成轉折對比關系.解題時抓住轉折詞but.故選E.
37 C 根據(jù)空格后面You can always start the conversation."你要先開始交談"可知,前面應該是不要等著別人先和你說話. 故選C.
38 B 根據(jù)后面的…as these interests would always bring you and your friend together.以及Hanging out will…可知,要和朋友一起溜達,一起做一些事.故選B.
39 G 根據(jù)空格前面…try not to press your new friend with calls,messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend"不要讓你的朋友對你的電話,短信或拜訪感到有壓力,這樣很可能會使對方疲憊不堪.最終,你會失去友誼."可知,你要給時間讓你的朋友來對你作出回應,讓友誼自然發(fā)展.故選G.
40 D 根據(jù)空格前面句意…to allow your friends to be themselves"要允許你的朋友們做他們自己",以及空格后面句式Try not to…可知,此處需表達不要對朋友太挑剔之意且句式一致,都為try not to do結構.解題時可根據(jù)前后文句式一致來匹配信息.故選D.
點評 做七選五題目時要注意以下規(guī)則:1.放進去通順,這一點是基礎.凡不通順的必錯無疑;2、選項中有單詞、詞組、句子成分或與所選答案所在段內(nèi)容重合;
3、選項與其上句或下句之間有必然的邏輯關系;4、選項全部內(nèi)容都屬于正確答案所在段.有時備選答案中可能含有甲乙兩項內(nèi)容,這時,只有當甲和乙都歸屬于本段時,答案才是正確的.
