Question

【題目】 Life affects (影響) friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.

When we were children, we had best friends. No matter what happened we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we got older, memories fade, faces blur, and even friend’s names from childhood are forgotten.

Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly? Perhaps you will see that you can’t control others. If someone wants to be your friend, it is their choice. All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.

You can talk to old timers (老前輩) and they will tell you that life is full of joy and sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day becomes a memory and the pain will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go. Sometimes when they go, it will hurt, but you will be okay with it. It’s the way life works, after all.

【4】A

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。主要講了隨著時間的推移，友誼也會受到影響。想要維持好友誼就需要善待你的朋友。但是友誼來了，友誼去了，是時間規(guī)律使然，這就是生活。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段的As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.（只要我們活著，我們周圍的事情就會改變，只要事情改變了，友誼就會受到影響。）以及最后一段的Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.（學(xué)長們可能會告訴你，隨著年齡的增長，你會學(xué)到更多的東西。他們會告訴你，友誼來了，友誼去了。）可知，友誼可能隨著時間而改變。故選A。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段的We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we got older, memories fade, faces blur, and even friend’s names from childhood are forgotten.（然而，我們過著自己的生活，做著生活要求我們做的事情，隨著年齡的增長，記憶漸漸淡去，面孔blur，甚至連兒時朋友的名字都忘記了。）可知，we got older, memories fade, faces blur都是由主謂結(jié)構(gòu)成的并列句，再結(jié)合even friend’s names from childhood are forgotten(兒時朋友的名字都忘記了)可知， 隨著年齡的增長，記憶力退化，面孔模糊，blur和前文fade語義相關(guān)，故這里的blur意為“使……模糊不清”，相當(dāng)于become less clear（變得不那么清晰），故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.（你所能做的就是善待他們，當(dāng)你和他們在一起的時候，為他們做最好的事情。然后你希望他們離開的時候一切都好。）可見，作者對友誼的建議是照顧好朋友。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的You can talk to old timers (老前輩) and they will tell you that life is full of joy and sorrow, …Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older....可知，老前輩會告訴你生活充滿了快樂和悲傷，今天困擾你的事總有一天會變成記憶，痛苦也會消失……長輩們可能會告訴你，隨著年齡的增長，你會學(xué)到更多的東西。有時友誼消失時會很痛，但你會好起來的，這就是生活。因此推斷老前輩和長輩們都有積極的生活態(tài)度。故選A。
