  本文是记叙文。作者的好朋友染上毒瘾,最终死亡,而恰在此时作者的妹妹也开始吸毒。作者伤心之时,母亲告诉她:可以通过此事例教育孩子,远离毒品。于是作者参加了学校的义务活动,用自己的朋友和妹妹的例子来警示孩子们毒品的危害。

36.解析:选B。根据语境判断,作者非常尊敬自己的朋友,因此选look up to“仰视, 敬仰某人”,符合逻辑。

37.解析:选D。根据语境分析,此处表示两人关系亲密,是知心朋友,因此选close“亲密的”符合逻辑。A项表示“敏捷的”,C项表示“聪明的”,意思都不够准确、全面。

38.解析:选A。从后文朋友变化得让作者感到陌生可知答案。C项意思是“衰败,衰退”,不合逻辑。

39.解析:选C。当作者询问朋友原因时,朋友并没有告诉她真相,因此朋友的态度不好。D项表示“粗野的”,语义过重,用于朋友之间不恰当。

40.解析:选A。从后文朋友变得连作者都不认识了可知,此处表示朋友的境况越发糟糕,分析四个选项可知,只有bitter“痛苦的,凄惨的”最能表达语境。

41.解析:选D。朋友对作者也不说实话,因此变得让作者都不认识了。

42.解析:选B。每当作者询问朋友的情况,对方总是充满了戒心,不跟作者说实话,因此选defensive“具有防御心理的”符合逻辑。

43.解析:选C。从后文可知,作者最终得知朋友染上了毒瘾,因此此处表示作者终于得到了问题的答案。从下文可知,作者并没有获得机会来帮助对方,因此不选B。

44.解析:选A。从后文不难推断,此答案应为“毒品”。

45.解析:选B。从语境可知作者以及母亲的悲伤,因此母亲眼含泪水告诉作者事情的真相。

46.解析:选C。文章最后一段有提示:作者不再为朋友的死而感到自责。

47.解析:选D。听到朋友的死讯,作者震惊,因此整个世界都凝固了,在寂静中作者只有让泪水尽情流淌。

48.解析:选A。后文有提示,母亲告诉自己注意到“征兆”也无济于事。

49.解析:选C。从母亲安慰作者可知,母亲告诉她有些事情是我们所控制不了的,因此选control。

50.解析:选D。前文以及文章最后一段都说明作者为自己没能阻止朋友而感到自责。

51.解析:选B。文章最后一段有提示,作者在学校进行志愿活动,宣传毒品的危害。

52.解析:选D。文章讲述的是毒品的危害,因此作者从事宣传如何预防毒品。A项意思是“健康意识”意思过于笼统。

53.解析:选A。前文描述了作者因为朋友的死而感到震惊和伤心,因此母亲告诉作者用自己对毒品的感受来教育孩子们。

54.解析:选B。前后构成转折关系,作者不再自责,而是开始从事志愿者工作,因此instead符合逻辑。
