解答 36-40:ECBGD
36.E 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage.可知前句應(yīng)該從意思上和后句構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,縱觀選項可知E項符合語境,句意:對于某些人來說結(jié)交新朋友很容易.故選E.
37:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)語境"You can always start the conversation."可知此處是關(guān)于如何和別人開始對話,而C選項內(nèi)容恰好和能夠承接上下文,句意:不要等著別人和你說話,你也可以先開口說話.故選C.
38:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)"as these interests would always bring you and your friend together."可知在本段中作者認(rèn)為共同的興趣和愛好會讓人們聚在一起,和這樣的人做朋友是很快樂的事情.由此可知B選項是本段內(nèi)容的概括.句意是:要在一起做事情.故選B.
39:G 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)上下文The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally可知作者認(rèn)為友誼的培養(yǎng)需要時間,頻繁的電話或短信會讓人疲倦,不利于友誼的培養(yǎng),縱觀選項G項內(nèi)容恰好能起到承上啟下的作用,所以G選項正確.
40:D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)上下文The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves可知作者在此段講述如何享受朋友間的關(guān)系,提到不要試圖改變朋友,要讓朋友做真正的自己,由此可知D選項內(nèi)容恰好符合語境.句意:不要對朋友挑剔.故選D.
點評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
