An old proverb says, “Friends are like wine; the older, the better.”So, nowadays many people consider old friends to be 【1】 (important) than new friends. For example, if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from 2 old friend, people always tend to adapt the latter one, 3 the new friend’s advice may be better.

4 (disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not 5 (necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the __6__ ( long)of time cannot determine whether your friendship is better or not.

Once you call someone friend, he must be a reliable person,__7__ interests are in common with 8 (you). As time goes by, a friend’s outside look may change, but the inside characters of him and his interests 9 (change). It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that make him a friend to you. 【10 , on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new friends.

【答案】

【1】more important

【2】an

【3】though/although

【4】Disagreeing

【5】necessarily

【6】length

【7】whose

【8】yours

【9】will not change

【10】Thus/Therefore/So

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于人生感悟类短文,有人认为老朋友比新朋友更重要,作者通过分析认为老朋友和新朋友没有差别。

【1】more important 考查形容词比较级。横线后面有介词than表示比较,所以本句使用important的比较级形式more important。句意:很多人认为老朋友比新朋友更重要。

【2】 an 考查不定冠词。名词friend朋友,是一个可数名词,可以在前面使用不定冠词a/an表示泛指。名词短语an old friend与前面的a new friend构成并列关系,都表示泛指。

【3】 though/although 考查连词。句意:尽管新朋友的建议也许更好,但人们总是倾向于采纳老朋友的建议。上下文之间为转折关系,所以使用though/although引导。

【4】 Disagreeing 考查分词做状语。本句中动词disagree与主语I构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词短语在句中做状语。句意:不同意这个旧谚语,我认为新朋友未必就比老朋友差。

【5】necessarily 考查固定搭配。短语not necessarily未必;本句还考查了副词做状语,修饰谓语动词。所以本句中使用副词necessarily修饰谓语部分are worse than old friends。

【6】length 考查名词。横线前面有定冠词the修饰,后面有介词短语修饰,说明使用名词。形容词long的名词是length。句意:时间的长短并不能决定朋友的好与不好。

【7】whose 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是a reliable person,关系代词whose指代先行词,在定语从句中修饰名词interest。句意:一旦你称别人为朋友,他一定是一个值得信赖的人,他/她的兴趣和你的兴趣是一样的。

【8】yours 考查代词。本句中名词性物主代词yours相当于your interests。

【9】will not change 考查上下文。句意:随着时间流逝,朋友的外貌可能发生改变,但是他内在的品格和兴趣是不会变化的。江山易改本性难移,这是经常的事情。且主句中使用将来时,所以使用将来时的否定式will not change。

【10】Thus/Therefore/So 考查副词。正是这些不变的品格和兴趣让他成为你的朋友,因此,在这一点上,老朋友和新朋友是没有差别的。上下文之间是因果关系,所以使用thus/therefore/so引起下文。

【题目】“Let’s have a journey. Why not fly out and meet me, Dad?” I say one day.

My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thoughts, and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.

My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.

He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.

“What's our first stop?” asks my father.

“What time is it?”

“Still don't have a watch?”

Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.

“Unbelievable,” he says. “How was this done?”

A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.

We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?”

No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father's voice. Now I hear them in my own.

The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.

“Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask.

“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other — but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”

That last sentence — it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.

In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I've never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize — and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.

Weeks after our trip, I call my father.

“The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We've got to take another trip like that sometime.”

I tell him I've decided to settle down, and I'm wearing a watch.

Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen more. _____【1】_____ When I told Matthew how I’ve been working hard to only pick up a second language, he had the following advice for me.

Know why you are doing it

This might sound easy , but if you don’t have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay interested over the long-run._______ 2_______ Wanting to get to know a French person in his or her own language is another matter entirely. No matter what your reason is, once you’ve decided on a language, it’s important to carry out .

_______3______

Matthew learned several languages together with his twin brother Michael. They learned their first foreign language, Greek, when they were only eight years old! Even if you can’t get a sister or brother to join you on your language adventure, having any kind of partner will push both of you to always try just a little bit harder and stay with it.

Have fun with it

_____4______Think of some fun ways to practice your new language: make a radio play with a friend, draw a comic strip, write a poem, or simply talk to whomever you can. If you can’t find a way to have fun with the new language, chances are you aren’t following step four.

Act like a child

We learn by making mistakes. ___5___But as adults, mistakes become taboo(禁忌). Think how an adult is more likely to say, “I can’t”, rather than, “I haven’t learned that yet” (I can’t swim, I can’t drive, I can’t speak Spanish).

D. As kids, we are expected to make mistakes.

E. You are learning a language to be able to use it.

【题目】Many years ago, I made a living by driving a car. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked.“Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness.“It’s nothing,” I told her, “I just try to treat my passengers in the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’re such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said.“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long time.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?”she asked.

“Nothing,” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh, there are other passengers, ”I answered.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

【1】The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

A. show she was familiar with the city

B. see some places for the last time

C. let the driver earn more money

D. reach the destination on time

【2】Which of the following statements is Not true?

A. The old lady didn’t have very long time.

B. The old lady was on her way to her daughter’s home.

C. The taxi driver gave the old woman a little moment of joy.

D. The taxi driver didn’t charge the old lady any money.

【3】What can we learn from the story?

A. Giving is always a pleasure.

B. People should respect each other.

C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.
