When high school started, Becky and I became best friends. We 36 many interests and quickly became inseparable. When high school ended, we both cried 37 we would attend different colleges.
Our first term of university life was 38 . Our telephone bill and e-mails were incredibly long. In the second term I found some new friends with whom I felt very 39 and I could 40 out my feelings. I was eager to share my new friends with Becky.
When Becky finally visited me at my school, we were excited. __41__, something unexpected happened when I 42 her to my new friends. Her eyes grew dark and I could see the 43 within them. My new friends tried to share their friendship, but Becky seemed 44 to accept it. I didn’t understand 45 the people I love most couldn’t love each other.
Becky 46 . I knew she was not happy. I thought long about __47__ happened. At last, I found the answer. Becky saw me with my new friends and 48 that we no longer shared the same experiences. She saw all the fun I was having 49 her and wished she could a part of it.
I wrote a letter to Becky 50 she’s always my best friend. I told her everyone had many friends, who were indeed life’s greatest 51 . Becky wrote me back soon. She was in 52 and felt sorry about what she had done.
I think Becky and I both learn an important lesson from it. 53 can influence our friendship and change the experiences we’ve shared. We are now walking on two different paths of 54 .

解析
试题分析：本文讲述的是作者对友谊的理解。我们行走在不同的人生道路上，尽管新朋友是独特的和令人兴奋的，但是不管与老朋友分隔的有多远，他们都在那一直等待着我们的再次能畅所欲言，分享人生体验。
小题1:A 动词辨析。share:共有，分享；share many interests 有很多共同爱好； protect： 保护；develop：发展，培养
小题2:D. 语法分析。很明显，横线处应填一个能引导原因状语从句的词。
小题3:C．上下文串联，作者和朋友Becky之间感情深厚，毕业分开时很伤心，上大学后“We had a huge telephone bill and our e-mails were incredibly long．”可知，不能和好朋友在一起的生活应是很不开心，艰难的。其余三项不合题意。normal：正常的。
小题4:D 上下文串联。由下文“These were friends with whom I could be myself and __40__（pour） out my feelings”可知，与新朋友在一起应是feel comfortable(感觉愉快轻松)，而不是其它感觉。
小题5:B.短语辨析。 pour out: 倾诉，倾吐，make out；辨认清楚，声称，填写，理解；figure out:算出，理解；hold out: 坚持，维持。我能够倾述我的感觉。
小题6:D 本题主要考察词义。 A因此B结果是C而且D然而；我们都很高兴，然而一些意料之外的事情发生了。上下文之间存在着转折的关系。
小题7:C 动词词义辨析。introduce sb./ sth. to sb. 将。。。。介绍给某人。 admit : 承认，接纳； refer to: 提及，涉及，指的是，查阅，咨询；mention: 提到。 我把她介绍给我的新朋友。
小题8: B 上下文串联。由“Her eyes grew dark”可以判知Becky有些失落和伤心，感觉自己受到了伤害。concern: 担心，关心；curiosity ；好奇；doubt：怀疑。
小题9:A 上下文串联。根据上下文可知Becky不乐意接受来自作者的朋友的友情。unwilling :不乐意的；cautious ：小心谨慎的；ashamed ：羞愧的；calm：镇定的。
小题10:D 上下文串联。作者不明白的是为什么作者最深爱的人之间不能互相关爱。指的是Becky的所作所为。
小题11:B. 动词辨析。A开始B离开C保留D盯着看；Becky不开心，就离开了。
小题12:C 语法分析。本句中的what引导宾语从句，并在句中做主语。我思考了很长时间关于所发生的事情。
小题13:B主要考查词义。 promise 许诺； argued 主张，争论 ； regret为...感到遗憾, 惋惜, 后悔； prove 证明。 很遗憾我们不能分享这些经历。
小题14:D.根据句意，尽管她没在在身旁，但作者还是通过和其他新朋友相处过程中找到欢乐，而Becky希望像作者的那些新朋友一样能时常伴随在作者身旁。
小题15:C. 根据后文，写信的目的当然是要向Becky解释recognizing 认出；explaining 解释 ；assuming假设 ；predicting预测。
小题16:C. 朋友应是生活给予我们的最大礼物。achievement成就 ； spirit 精神； gift 礼物 ；sign 招牌，标志，迹象。
小题17:C. 经过作者的解释，Becky认识到了自己的错，同意坐着的观点。in agreement 意见一致。sympathy ：同情；confusion ： 困惑 ；surprise： 惊讶 都不是Becky当时应有的情感。
小题18:A.something 是个迷惑项。由后面old friends are always there, 55 to share their heart and soul, no matter how far apart．可以判断出作者想表达的是没什么能影响真正的友谊和改变一起经历的事情。
小题19:B.名词词义辨析。我们行走在不同的人生道路上，尽管新朋友是独特的和令人兴奋的，但是不管与老朋友分隔的有多远，他们都在那一直等待着我们的再次能畅所欲言，分享人生体验。
小题20:D. 动词词义辨析。A选择B要求C计划D等待。我们行走在不同的人生道路上，尽管新朋友是独特的和令人兴奋的，但是不管与老朋友分隔的有多远，他们都在那一直等待着我们的再次能畅所欲言，分享人生体验。
点评：本文讲述的是作者对友谊的理解。本文要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知识，这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。 |
举一反三
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分开) with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” That is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase（短语） that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.

小题2:When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!”, he is saying that .| A．the speaker is just friendly | | B．this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!” | | C．the word “dog” should not be used to apply to（运用到） people. | | D．sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious. |
小题3:This passage tries to tell you how to . | A．avoid mistakes about money and friends | | B．get an idea of friendly people | | C．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you | | D．keep people friendly without trusting them |

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling 1, but I always knew he was 2 . He never criticized us, but used 3 to bring out our best. He’d say,” If you pout water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I 4 as a child I said something 5 about somebody, and my father said, “ 6 time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best 7 people, I would get the best 8 .

“To be or not to be.” Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly, or to live dully and meanly. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: “I think, therefore I am.”
But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(强烈) of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned --- poetry and prose(散文), music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---you are dead.
On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest --- even more, a new accomplishment(成就) --- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(有限的, 受约束的) life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China. If you’re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
To be or not to be --- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, which depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live!
小题1:What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?| A．Argue against an idea. | | B．Explain some famous sayings. | | C．Introduce some famous sayings. | | D．Put forward an idea. |
小题2:What does the underlined word most probably mean?| A．Somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination. | | B．Somebody who is always interested in making new friends. | | C．Somebody who always expects the worst to happen. | | D．Somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life. |
小题3:Which of the following behavior is probably NOT encouraged by the author?| A．Thinking more than your own business. | | B．Caring only about your physical welfare. | | C．Reading good novels. | | D．Listening to fine music. |
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?| A．To be is to be in relations. | | B．I think, therefore I am. | | C．To be or not to be, that is a question. | | D．A man dies as often as he loses a friend. |

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 31 .Some stories are told 32 they were true. Real people who live in a 33 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 34 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 35 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we 37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 40--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 41 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 42 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 43 that we are real and they are 44 . It sounds 45 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 46 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 47 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 48 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 49 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 50 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People"s understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person"s life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
小题1:________ leads to people"s deeper understanding of health.| A．Common knowledge | | B．Progress in scientific research | | C．Better conditions of living | | D．Quality of life |
小题2:The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _________.| A．people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer | | B．people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental health | | C．people have realized the importance of mental well-being | | D．people are inspired by medical advances |
小题3:We can infer from the passage __________.| A．nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food | | B．the overall quality of people"s lives improved greatly in the 20th century | | C．those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people | | D．those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now |
小题4:This passage is mainly about __________.| A．different understandings of the term "health" | | B．improving the quality of life | | C．the importance of quality living | | D．people"s expectations of a long and healthy life |
