Question

【题目】 Life affects (影响) friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.

When we were children, we had best friends. No matter what happened we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we got older, memories fade, faces blur, and even friend’s names from childhood are forgotten.

Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly? Perhaps you will see that you can’t control others. If someone wants to be your friend, it is their choice. All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.

You can talk to old timers (老前辈) and they will tell you that life is full of joy and sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day becomes a memory and the pain will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go. Sometimes when they go, it will hurt, but you will be okay with it. It’s the way life works, after all.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要讲了随着时间的推移，友谊也会受到影响。想要维持好友谊就需要善待你的朋友。但是友谊来了，友谊去了，是时间规律使然，这就是生活。

【1】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.（只要我们活着，我们周围的事情就会改变，只要事情改变了，友谊就会受到影响。）以及最后一段的Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.（学长们可能会告诉你，随着年龄的增长，你会学到更多的东西。他们会告诉你，友谊来了，友谊去了。）可知，友谊可能随着时间而改变。故选A。

【2】词义猜测题。根据第二段的We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we got older, memories fade, faces blur, and even friend’s names from childhood are forgotten.（然而，我们过着自己的生活，做着生活要求我们做的事情，随着年龄的增长，记忆渐渐淡去，面孔blur，甚至连儿时朋友的名字都忘记了。）可知，we got older, memories fade, faces blur都是由主谓结构成的并列句，再结合even friend’s names from childhood are forgotten(儿时朋友的名字都忘记了)可知， 随着年龄的增长，记忆力退化，面孔模糊，blur和前文fade语义相关，故这里的blur意为“使……模糊不清”，相当于become less clear（变得不那么清晰），故选B。

【3】推理判断题。根据第三段的All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.（你所能做的就是善待他们，当你和他们在一起的时候，为他们做最好的事情。然后你希望他们离开的时候一切都好。）可见，作者对友谊的建议是照顾好朋友。故选D。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段的You can talk to old timers (老前辈) and they will tell you that life is full of joy and sorrow, …Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older....可知，老前辈会告诉你生活充满了快乐和悲伤，今天困扰你的事总有一天会变成记忆，痛苦也会消失……长辈们可能会告诉你，随着年龄的增长，你会学到更多的东西。有时友谊消失时会很痛，但你会好起来的，这就是生活。因此推断老前辈和长辈们都有积极的生活态度。故选A。
