1、When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理學(xué)家),who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

1、本文的話題是“朋友”,介紹作者在人生道路上遇到的幾個朋友,他們一起寫詩作文,一起探討生活,作者最后發(fā)出感慨:在人生的道路上希望有好朋友做伴。
1.D 考查細節(jié)理解。第二段說,作者讀八年級時有個好朋友,她們在學(xué)校都少言寡語,回家后就在一起寫詩和故事,然后大聲朗讀。后來畢業(yè)了,我們都成了社會型的人,我們的小說與故事就不寫了。
2.A 考查句意猜測。從該段的敘述看,作者和她的朋友當(dāng)時在倫敦,都很絕望,但他們互相勉勵,一起尋找美好的事物,直到他們絕望的感覺都消失了,“我們把倫敦給了對方”,顯然這里表示我們在倫敦的這段時間互相關(guān)心與勉勵,一起尋找生活的美麗,因此本題選A。
3.C 考查推理判斷。從該段內(nèi)容可知,我們寫長長的信給對方,出現(xiàn)在對方的夢里,從來未曾見過面,因此C項正確。A項文章未提及;B項不符合文意,文章只是說他們在某些方面相似;D項也不符合文意。
4.B 考查推理判斷。最后一句說,在黑暗的時候(心情壓抑的時候),我寧愿做自己最好的朋友,也就是說,在這些時候作者寧愿獨自一人。
5.D 考查主旨大意。本文介紹作者人生道路上的幾個朋友,這些朋友與她一起寫詩作文,和她一起探討人生,盡管有些素未謀面。在心情壓抑的時候,她寧可獨自一人,她把充滿激情的時光保留著,送給最好的朋友;她尋找能照亮她的生活的朋友。從這些內(nèi)容判斷,本題選D,品質(zhì)高貴的朋友。
