本文是一篇說明文。作者介紹了交朋友的五個法則：與他人交往；主動發(fā)起交談；一起做些事情；讓友誼自然成長；享受友誼。

【1】考查句意理解和上下文語境理解。根據(jù)后句But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage.（但是對于我們很多人這個過程是困難的需要勇氣）可知前句應(yīng)該是意義相反。故F項Making new friends is easy for some people（交朋友對于有些人來說是容易的）符合題意。故選F。

【2】考查句意理解和上下文語境理解。本段主要是建議我們主動發(fā)起會談。故C項Do not wait to be spoken to（不要等著別人給我們說話）符合題意。故選C。

【3】考查段落大意。根據(jù)后面的“as these interests would always bring you and your friend together.”可知本段主要是建議要和朋友在塊做一些事。所以選B項。

【4】考查句意理解和上下文語境理解。根據(jù)本段的小標題Let it grow （讓友誼自然地成長）可知本段主要是建議我們不要太過于強迫朋友向我們做出回應(yīng)。故G選項So you need to give your friend time to react to you.（因此你需要給你朋友留出時間來做出反應(yīng)。）符合題意。故選G。

【5】考查句意理解和上下文語境理解。由前面一句說要允許你的朋友們做他們自己，也就是不要對朋友太挑剔。find fault (缺點) with挑某人毛病。故選E。

七選五題型要求考生從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系，理解句子之間、段落之間的關(guān)系，對諸如連貫性、一致性等語段特征有較強的意識和熟練的把握。又由于“七選五”空出的是句子，因而這些句子與句子之間必然有一種聯(lián)系。因此，我們可以通過選項中某個名詞或動詞跟空前或空后的一致性或者相關(guān)性來確定這兩個句子之間的關(guān)聯(lián)性，從而選擇正確的答案。如：小題1考查上下文理解。根據(jù)空后的根據(jù)下一句But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage.（但是對于我們很多人這個過程是困難的）可知前句應(yīng)該是意義相反。后句中的but表轉(zhuǎn)折，是解答本題的關(guān)鍵所在。故F項Making new friends is easy for some people（交朋友對于有些人來說是容易的）符合題意。
