[2017·四川成都诊断]

We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle，new research has claimed.

The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months，at which we typically have five close friends.Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months，with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.

The research，by Forever Friends，shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school，with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship.The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook，compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12，and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.

Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says，“It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school.It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts，seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot.As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”

Later in life we find ourselves losing friends.Over half of us lose friendship through moving，while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals.Having children also causes 19% to drift_away_from childhood friends.

With growing pressure being put on friendship these days，it's important to make time for our friendship.

1．How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook? A．4. C．18.

B．12. D．22.

2．In Paragraph 5，the author is trying to tell the readers________. A．how important making friends is B．that friendship is not easy to keep C．how much has been done to keep friendship D．that friendship at school is important

3．The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means “________”． A．make sense of C．feel sorry for

B．lose contact with D．make up with

4．This passage is most probably taken from________. A．Facebook or Twitter C．a textbook

B．an advertisement D．a newspaper

答案：[解题导语]研究表明，我们在26岁时拥有最多的朋友，但是随着时间的推移，我们的朋友会减少。

1．B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句中的“...via Facebook，compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12”可知，通过脸书网年龄在18到24岁的人可以交到12个朋友，故B项正确。

2．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段Sam Owen所讲的话的第二句“It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts，seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot.”可知，学校时光是人生中建立友谊的重要阶段，故D项正确。

3．B 解析：词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段的第二句“Over half of us lose friendship...apart from close pals.”及画线词所在句“Having children also causes 19% to...childhood friends.”可以推测出，画线词意为“失去联系”，故B项正确。A项意为“理解”，C项意为“对??感到抱歉”，D项意为“与??和好”，都与语境不符。

4．D 解析：文章出处题。根据第一段中的“new research has claimed”以及最后一段中的“these days”，再结合选项可以判断出，本文最可能摘自报纸，故D项正确。
