    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Modern life is a lot les s to the advantage of friendships and neighborliness than it used to be. The average American moves every five years. People drive straight into their garages, hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches (前走廊). These days, neighbors don't even know each other's names. 

    Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn't snatch a drumstick(鸡腿) from the refrigerator of a stranger.

    The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it's needed. Here's how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life. 

    _________________. A true friend doesn't flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn't mean the person has to.

    Friendships fade away if there isn't an balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren't being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don't step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain(耗尽) you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you'll need to talk the situation through.

    1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

    A true friend will stay the same even when the situations change. 

                                                                              

    2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence. (Within 10 words)

                                                                             

    3. What advice is given in the last paragraph? (Within 10 words)

                                                                             

    4. What do you think the author will go on talking about if the passage continues?(Within 10 words)

                                                                              

    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．

    阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
         An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling a
    flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was vital
    enough, his lack of response could ensure the sender rang him up. If the sender wasn't important enough to
    have his private number, the communication couldn't be that important. My friend is now even more senior
    in the same company, so the strategy must work.
         Almost every week now, there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by the
    bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it's only because we haven't developed an appropriate discrimination in
    dealing with it.
         ______. Firstly, you junk anything with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters, or from any
    address you don't recognize or feel confident about.
         Secondly, e-mails don't all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there's a tendency for
    correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless discussion or to accept a point
    of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.
         Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn't have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who
    send long, chatty e-mails, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm
    of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the letter sent by
    post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a brief reply.
    1. Which sentence in the passage it the closed in meaning to the following one? The possible existence of
    annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence. (within 10 words)
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    3. What advice is given in the last paragraph? (within 10 words)
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    4. For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph 1? (within 10 words)
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
