解答 36-40 BECGD
36.答案是B.主旨大意題;由"You should feel absolutely comfortable with yourself when you're around your friends."可知,作者認(rèn)為和朋友在一起時要自在,所以推斷與對方在一起"不自在(can't be oneself)"說明對方不能被看著是朋友,故選B.
37.答案是E.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;由上文"You're not fulfilled.(你感到不滿意)"可知,這是需要找新朋友的跡象,由此推斷作者分析"你是否感到滿意",題干中關(guān)鍵詞unsatisfied與fulfilled相對照;故選E.
38.答案是C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;由下文"Do not allow yourself to be part of a friendship that harbors in on gossip and consistent drama.(你能容許自己在朋友愛講閑話,總是有戲劇性事件發(fā)生嗎)"推斷作者討論朋友中的"gossip",故選C.
39.答案是G.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;由上文"In a friendship,both parties must be willing to put forth effort into making things work."可知,作者認(rèn)為友誼的雙方都應(yīng)該付出努力,故推斷"不能總是一方努力而另一方不做任何努力,故選G."
40.答案是D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;該部分作者強調(diào)了"Commonality(公共性).",由"Having things in common doesn't mean that you have to like the same music or food,it means that you must have the same morals and ethics."可知,作者認(rèn)為有共同點指的是有共同的道德和倫理,即價值觀(values),故答案選D.
