【解析】

试题分析：朋友在我们的生活中扮演重要的作用。大多数人希望他们的朋友永远在。他们希望友谊天长地久。但是，即使最美好的友谊也可能会结束。当我们的友谊结束时，最好的办法是忘记痛苦，并努力开始去寻找新的友谊。

【1】B考查动词及语境的理解。A. hope希望；B. expect期待；C. decide决定；D. prefer更喜欢。根据Most people hope that their friends will always be there. 可知，这里的意思是：他们希望友谊能够永远保持下去。但是hope的用法是hope to do , hope 后不能跟sb/sth to do 形式。expect的用法则是expect sb/sth to do。所以选B。

【2】A考查连词及语境的理解。A. Unfortunately不幸的是；B. Luckily幸运的是；C. Then那么，然后；D. So所以。 根据前后的意思可知，他们希望友谊能够永远保持下去。不幸的是，即使最好的友谊也可能会结束。所以选A。

【3】C考查名词及语境的理解。A. interest兴趣；B. experience经历；C. change变化；D. suggestion建议。随着时间的推移，许多友谊会因为个性或者生活方式的变化而结束。友谊从有到无也是变化。所以选C。

【4】B考查动词及语境的理解。A. forgets忘记；B. disappears消失；C. appears出现；D. improves 改进。根据The friendship was just over.可知，友谊慢慢地失去了重要性，最后就消失了。选B。

【5】D考查动词及语境的理解。 A. finished结束；B. practiced练习；C. continued 继续；D. started开始。前面是我发现自己认为Alan成了以前的朋友。根据The friendship was just over.可知：友谊结束了，因为我们见面越来越少。带入四个选项分析可知，选D。

【6】C考查动词短语及语境的理解。 A. break down机器等出故障；B. break away 摆脱；C. break off中断；D. break in插话。分析语境可知意思是：有时友谊会因为意见不合或者搬家而突然中断。所以选C。

【7】B考查副词及语境的理解。A. often经常；B. seldom很少；C. always总是；D. never从不。这里以Alice为例，说明友谊的变化。我从城市的一边搬到另一边，从那以后，我们就很少通电话，后面也说我们见面也越来越少了。最后我们之间的友谊就结束了。所以选 B。

【8】A考查动词及语境的理解。A. struggling挣扎；B. satisfying满意；C. pleased高兴；D. fed饲养。根据全文的意思可知，我们的友谊结束是因为我们两个都忙于新工作。所以选A。

【9】D考查介词及语境的理解。A. at在；B. by提通过，根据；C. on关于；D. in在……之内。这里keep in touch with是固定搭配， 保持联系。所以选D。

【10】A考查连词及语境的理解。A. even if即使；B. while当……的时候；C. before 在……之前；D. since自从。 带入四个选项分析语意可知，我们的友谊结束了以至于即使我回家了也不会给他打电话。选A。

【11】B考查形容词及语境的理解。A. strange奇怪的；B. true真实的；C. false错误的；D. impossible不可能的。根据前面的意思可知，事实是两人都保持不变或者变化的方向很相似时，朋友就会保持住。所以选B。

【12】A考查连词及语境的理解。A. will be将会是；B. is 是；C. will将；D. to be不定式不能单独做谓语。接前一句的意思，如果他们变了，成长的方式一样了，友谊很可能就会失去了。If从句是用一般现在时，则主句用一般将来时。lost在这里是形容词，所以需要用will be lost。 所以选A。

【13】B考查形容词及语境的理解。A. little很少的；B. some一些；C. any任何；D. no 没有。 失去友谊当然应该有些许的失落感。所以选B。

【14】D考查动词及语境的理解。A. thought认为；B. checked检查；C. carried 携带；D. done做。这里是do sth或nothing 变成了被动。所以是nothing can be done。没有什么可做的了。所以选D。

【15】C考查非谓语动词及语境的理解。A. to ask for要求；表目的；B. forming构成；C. to build建立；表目的；D. beginning开始。忘记痛苦继续去建立新的友谊。move on to do 继续去做。所以选C。
