【题目】请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填1个单词。

True friends are rare to make these days. Even if you believe you’ve connected with someone, how do you really know he is a true friend? And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may disappoint you. There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend.

A true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens. Through good times and bad times, they will stand by you. They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you, and they will be there to help you grow in new ways.

Trust is another important aspect. A true friend will keep your secrets. You can depend on them. They will listen and be someone you know you can talk things over with, even if they may not have advice to share with you.

Friendship is a two-way street. To find true friends and keep them, you must in turn be the same as well. Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them. Be someone your friends can depend on and offer them the same things they give to you. A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort in. To keep a true friendship, you must be honest.

There will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship. If it can survive those barriers, it will be stronger and last forever. St Thomas Aquinas said, “There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship” and it holds true.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】disappointed

【2】whatever

【3】given/offered

【4】honest

【5】Conclusion/Summary

【解析】本文简述了真正的朋友对于一个人的重要性，向读者介绍如何去判断一段友谊是否真诚，为如何继续保持这样的友谊给出了实用的方法和意见。

【1】句意：那些你认为是自己朋友的人可能会让你失望。文中“And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may disappoint you.”是依据，与此句话意义一致，故本题填“disappointed”。

【2】句意：支持你，无论发生什么事。本小题是在“Characteristics of true friendship”（真正友谊的特点）栏目中，回归原文，“Through good times and bad times, they will stand by you.”可以知道“那些真正的朋友无论你顺利或失败都会在你身边”，故本题填“whatever”，指的是无论发生什么。

【3】句意：成为朋友可以依赖的人，并为他们提供他们曾给予你相同的东西。原文“To find true friends and keep them, you must in turn be the same as well.”意思是“为了找到真正的朋友并保持它们，你必须反过来也做一样的事情。”本题需要对你提供给他们的东西（things）进行修饰，这些“东西”是被提供给他们的，需要使用过去分词，故本题填“given/offered”。

【4】句意：要诚实，你就会保持一段真正地友谊。文章中“To keep a true friendship, you must be honest.”得出“要诚实，你就会保持一段真正地友谊。”，故本题填“honest”。

【5】本题需要填写的是就“True friendship can bear various tests and last forever.”的概括词，这句话的意思是“真正的友谊可以承受各种考验，永远持续下去。”是文章的概括或者是总结，故填“Conclusion/Summary”。
