Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Deep friendships can take years to develop, but they often last a lifetime. If you want to develop a deep friendship with another person, you have to be ready to put in time and open yourself up.

Pay attention to others, not yourself. 【1】________ When you’re truly interested in someone else’s thoughts, feelings, experiences, and opinions, they’ll like you for this. You’ll make far more friends by showing your interest rather than trying to get people interested in you.

【2】________ By listening carefully to what they say and do, you’ll quickly get to know them. Little things go a long way, such as remembering someone’s hobbies, the stories they’ve told you, and what’s going on in their life.

Share laughter and tears. Jokes and good laughs help to deepen relationships. 【3】________ A true best friend will be there for you when you’re upset and will try to help you feel better.

Help your friend when he/she needs it. 【4】________ If he/she’s having a bad day, send him/her a box of chocolate, or bring him/her an ice cream to help him/her get through the dark time.

Be honest. 【5】________ If you have a problem, talk to your friend and only your friend about the problem. Gossip (闲话) can destroy a friendship.

A. Don’t ever talk behind your friend’s back.

B. Don’t be afraid to cry in front of your friend.

C. Make an effort to truly listen to the other person.

D. It’s never too late to increase your circle of friends.

E. The key to connecting with other people is showing interest in them.

F. Tell the person how much you care for him/her and what he/she means to you.

G. If your friend is sick, be there to make him/her soup, or stop by with a movie.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】C

【3】B

【4】G

【5】A

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何发展深厚的友谊。作者在文中给出了几点建议。

【1】E 空格前一句提到要关注他人，而不是自己。后一句讲到当你真的对别人的想法、感情、经历和看法感兴趣的时候，别人才会因此喜欢你。因此E项“和他人建立联系的关键是对他们表现出兴趣”符合语境。

【2】C 本句是该段的主旨句。根据段落中的内容可知，本段主要是讲述倾听的重要性，认真听别人说才能快速了解他们。因此C项“努力做到真正地倾听别人”符合段落大意。

【3】B 本段的主旨句是分享欢笑和泪水，空格前一句提到笑话和欢笑有助于加深关系，后一句提到朋友就是在你难过的时候让你心情变好，因此B项“不要害怕在你朋友面前哭泣”符合语境。

【4】G 本段的主旨句是在朋友有需要的时候给予帮助。空格后一句是一个if条件句，讲到当他/她心情不好的时候要怎么做，因此G项“如果朋友生病了，去给他/她做一碗汤，或者带一部电影去看他/她”符合语境。

【5】A 本段的主旨句是要诚实。空格后一句提到，如果有问题直接找你的朋友谈，因此A项“千万不要在背后说朋友的坏话”符合语境。
