The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Friends play an important role in our lives, and although we
26、 may take friendship for granted, we often dont clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like
27、 one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic conditions, social position and intelligence. These factors are of prim
28、e importance, as it is often more difficult to get on with people when there is a clear difference in means, background, maturity, and/or capabilities. Some friendly relationships can be kept on despite argument or heated discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas, beliefs,
29、attitudes, and interests. In fact, close friends may sometimes talk about “being on the same wavelength“. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on each other, People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equal
30、ly, friends have to learn to put up with any annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion. In contrast with marriage, there are no government-sanctioned friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the support and understanding of each other that result from
31、shared experiences and emotions do seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome difference in background, and thus break down barriers of age, class, or race. 41 According to the author, _. （ A） all those who get on well with each other are friends （ B） friends are closer than people who just
32、get on well with each other （ C） everyone understands clearly how to make friends （ D） every student has six friends 42 When we make friends, we might consider the other persons age because _. （ A） it is not easy to stay friends with someone who shows a clear difference in maturity （ B） the degree o
33、f friendship between two people and the reason for their shared interest can vary greatly （ C） friends need to know all these things （ D） this is the most important factor to making friends 43 In paragraph two, “being the same on the wavelength“ means _. （ A） using the same frequency while talking （
34、 B） keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do （ C） having similar ideas, belief, attitudes and interest （ D） having the same background 44 Which of the following is probably NOT true according to the passage? （ A） Even friends may have differences of opinions. （ B） Friends never argu
35、e with each other. （ C） It generally takes time for people to become close friends. （ D） Someones habits may annoy his friends. 45 To strengthen a friendly relationship, people _. （ A） must hold friendship ceremonies （ B） have to eliminate differences in background （ C） should make friends with thos
36、e who are of the same age and of the same race （ D） should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotions Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.
