专题01 Friendship 第一节 阅读理解AI think it was October, 1982. A friend had business dealings in the city of Reno, Nevada, and I was asked to acpany her on an overnight trip. While she conducted her business, I was aimlessly wandering down Virginia Street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but I couldnt make eye contact with anyone. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could e outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet and said，“Well.” Surprisingly, she followed me out.When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “Gods in his heaven and alls right with the world.” I thanked her for ing out to see it and sharing the beauty. Four years later my situation had changed considerably. I had e to the end of a twentyyear marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had e to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange munity, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: cosmetic sales in a department store. We had a lot in mon. Then something happened to her that changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said “Gods in his heaven and alls right with the world，”and she had realized the truth in that statement and that she simply had not been seeing it. From that moment on, she turned her life around.【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者与陌生的女店员分享看到的日落美景，而这次经历改变了这位女店员的人生。文章旨在告诉读者用乐观积极的态度面对变化不定的人生。【长难句分析】One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances.(第四段第四句)分析：该句为主从复合句。“who had been in similar circumstances”为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a woman; while引导时间状语从句。译文：一天，我四处闲逛时在Unity Magazine上阅读到了一篇文章，该文章是关于一位和我有着相同遭遇的女士的。1. Why did the writer duck into a department store?AShe found it was boring with nobody talking to her.BShe wanted to buy something for her friend.CShe wanted to find somebody to share the beautiful sunset.DShe thought it was her responsibility to share the natural beauty with others.答案与解析：C 考查细节理解。 译文：在她处理业务期间，我漫无目的地在Virginia大街上闲逛，眼前便是辉煌壮丽的日落美景。我迫切地想在街上找个人和他分享美景，可是我一个人都没有找到。【解题思路】该题提问的是作者溜进商店的原因。根据关键句并结合文章第二段内容可知，作者溜进商店是为了邀请别人一起欣赏日落美景。故C项正确。2. What does the sentence “Gods in his heaven and alls right with the world” mean?AWe should be optimistic in the face of uncertainty.BWe should believe in God who can help us when we are in trouble.CWe should never hold the belief that God can change our life. DWe should be independent and enjoy ourselves in spite of difficulties.答案与解析：A 考查句意理解。【关键句】.and she had realized the truth in that statement and that she simply had not been seeing it.From that moment on, she turned her life around.(最后一段最后两句)译文：她已经认识到了这句话中蕴含的真理，只是一直没有留意过。从那一刻起，她的人生发生了翻天覆地的改变。【解题思路】通读全文可知，这句话共出现过两次，第一次是在第三段第二句；第二次是在第五段第三句。结合最后一段最后两句及第四段和第五段描述的该女士最终改变了自己的人生可知，该句是在说前途未卜时，我们应保持积极乐观的心态。故A项正确。3. What do you think finally changed the writers attitude towards life?AThe old magazine she came across. BThe encouragement from the woman.CThe sunset they enjoyed four years ago. DThe womans story.答案与解析：D 考查推理判断。 4. What may be the best title for the text?ADepending on yourselfBSharing beautyCStruggling every day DNever giving up halfway答案与解析：B 考查标题概括。【关键句】While she conducted her business, I was aimlessly wandering down Virginia Street，heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset.I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty，but I couldnt make eye contact with anyone.(第一段第三、四句)译文：在她处理业务期间，我漫无目的地在Virginia大街上闲逛，眼前便是辉煌壮丽的日落美景。我迫切地想告诉街上的人以便同他们分享美景，可是我一个人都没有找到。【解题思路】根据关键句并结合全文内容可知，文章由“欣赏日落美景”引出故事，且两次提到观景的感悟，告诉读者用积极乐观的态度来面对变化不定的人生。B项“分享美景”最适合做文章标题。故B项正确。阅读理解BBest friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is 23,870.According to a study, a BFF (Best Friend Forever) does not e cheap with devoted pals blowing 4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups (提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship. Theres a further 242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping (巨大的) 18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage. The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect 431 spent on them and a further 283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking. The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they e at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to pare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”【文章大意】 最好的朋友也许是无价的，但维持一段友谊却是高价的。那么你知道维持一段友谊需要多少钱吗？一项研究给出了答案。【长难句分析】And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship.(第二段第二句)分析：本句为复合句。while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on为让步状语从句。主句为bighearted Britons go the extra mile.relationship。译文：虽然在朋友哭泣时成为朋友的依靠不需要花费什么，但是慷慨大方的英国人会为朋友付出更多，他们会花168英镑来为朋友买能令人振作的物品，助其度过诸如关系破裂等困难时期。5. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?AAmbitious. BGenerous.CTroublesome. DEnergetic. 6. To keep the relationship, where do BFFs spend most money?ABuying birthday presents.BCheering up a friend in low spirits.CPaying for holiday gifts and other treats.DGoing a particular distance to visit friends.答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“blowing 4,679 on birthday presents”“spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品)”以及第三段中的“242 spent on presents.from gifts bought on holiday to treats.”“spend a whopping (巨大的)18,000 on travel to see each other”可知，为了维持一段友谊，花在旅途中的费用是最多的，所以选D。7. What is Natashas understanding of BFF friendship?AIts costly and unaffordable.BIts expensive but worthwhile.CIts rewarding but hard to keep.DIts changeable but worth possessing.答案与解析：B 考查观点态度。根据最后一段中的“Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they e at a cost.”可知，Natasha认为，经受得起时间考验的友谊通常是我们人生中最重要的东西，但那是要付出成本的。也就是说与一生的挚友的友谊很贵但很值得。所以选B。8. How is the passage developed?ABy listing figures. BBy giving examples.CBy analyzing causes.DBy making parisons.答案与解析：A 考查写作手法。 根据文中的“23,870”“4,679”“168”“242”“18,000”等数据可知，本文作者是通过列数据的方法来行文的，故选A。第二节 完形填空AMildred Webinga Freeman was an English teacher at the new middle school I attended in the ninth grade.
