提示:
1题 经验可以证明该历史老师说的话是正确的。
2题 从上下文可知,真诚的友谊是不容易建立起来的。 3题 在一处地方呆得时间较短时,是不大可能与别人发展起来真挚的友谊的。 4题no disagreement为双重否定,此句意是人们都认为我们每一个人都有必要认真考虑我们需要什么样的友谊。 7题have…in one’s mind“想到,想清楚”。 8题keep…at arm’s length“保持一定的距离”;此处用了被动语态。 9题 根据下一句可知答案。 10题 “对于某些人来说,与人保持表面的友谊足够了。” 11题 根据句子结构和句意可知答案。 12题 句意是“与人分享自己的经历,包括眼泪和噩梦才最有可能加深友谊”。 14题 carry on“继续,进行下去”。 17题 require“需要”。 18题 similarly“同样地”。 19题 最后一段列举了发展友谊的几个困难,由文中的“the greatest”“another”两个信息词可推断此处用finally最佳。
