Ⅲ.阅读理解

A

Dear Mr Black，

I used to have a really good group of friends. Now they’re all getting

into smoking and drinking. I want to find a new group of friends, but I’m shy. How can I know who are the types of people I should make friends with, and who will accept me?

Yours，

Mike

Dear Mike，

You’ve already made a very important step because you’ve realized that

it’s time to find new friends. Making and keeping good friends is a challenge for all of us, whether you are shy or not. Since you’ve done this successfully before, one thing is to think back on how you developed friendships in the past.

Probably the best way to make and keep friends is to find others who share your interests. Lasting friendships often develop between people who enjoy the same activities. You also want to be with friends who share your values and goals for life. It just depends on what your own interests are.

That old saying is also true — the best way to have a friend is to be a friend. Reach out to the others who share your interests, sit with them at lunch, invite them to join you in the activities you all like, listen to their thoughts and tell them about yours. Being a real friend takes time and effort. With time and effort, I’m sure you will find some very good friends during your school years and you’ll always be in touch after leaving school.

Yours， Tom Black

B

Life affects (影响) 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 get older, memories fade (逐渐消失), faces blur (变得模糊不清), and even friends’ 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 and they will tell you that life is full of incredible (难以置信的) joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the sting (痛苦) will be gone.Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older.They will tell you that friendships come and that friendships go.Sometimes when they go, it will hurt, but you will be okay with it.It’s the way life works, after all.

语篇解读：只要我们活着，周围的事情就会不断发生变化，只要事情发生变化，友情便有可能受到影响。

5．What can we learn about friendship according to the text? A．Friendship can not be easily affected by one’s family. B．Friends are always around us and will never go away. C．Friends in childhood are the best no matter what happens. D．Friends in childhood are sometimes forgotten by us.

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“We live our lives ... and even friends’ names from childhood are forgotten.”可知，随着时间的流逝，童年时期的朋友有时候可能会被忘记。故答案选D项。

6．What does the underlined words “old timers” mean in the last paragraph? A．Old people. C．Rich people.

B．Kind people. D．Smart people.

解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第四段中出现的“Seniors might tell ...”可知，old timers意为“老资格的人；老前辈”。故答案选A项。

7．The text mainly tells us ________. A．how to face the changes in friendship B．how to deal with unfriendly people C．that childhood friendship is valuable D．how to share happiness with friends

解析：选A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的“As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.”可知，只要我们活着，周围的事物就会不断发生变化，而这种变化同样也会影响我们的友情。所以本文主要介绍的是如何应对友情的变化。故A项正确。
