Selfishness can sink your friend “ship”

I’m sure that you have seen the cartoons on the Internet. Two penguins sit on either side of a small boat. They are friends, but each does something selfish which c【1】 their friend “ship” to sink.

The cartoons have become very popular and have been viewed millions of times. And their popularity shows how much people value friendship and sometimes worry that they may lose their friends. An old saying goes that a close friend is w 【2】 a thousand distant relatives. It is p【3】 right. Even more than your family, a friend is someone you can share your happy and sad moments with. A friend is someone to talk about d【4】feelings. And with a good friend you will never be a【5】 .

However, maintaining friendships isn’t always easy. Sometimes we may take our friends for granted and, like the two penguins, act selfishly. The key to k【6】your friend “ship” from sinking comes down to three simple things: sharing, caring and communicating. Good friends like to share everything with each other. They share their snacks, they share their knowledge about schoolwork—sometimes they even share their clothes! And good friends also care about each other. They do whatever they can to make their friends happy. But the most important part of friendship is communicating.

Communicating means talking to your friends and always being honest with them. It also means that you keep in touch with your friends even though they may be in different schools or live far away. A lack of communication is the surest way to send your friend “ship” to the bottom of the sea.

Friendship makes life happier and more meaningful, but remember, “the only way to have a friend is to be o【7】.”

【解析】

本文介紹了網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的兩個企鵝的卡通片的故事。通過本文，作者向我們展示了人們對友誼的珍惜。

【1】句意：他們是朋友，但是每個企鵝都做了自私的事情讓友誼消失。由語境和首字母提示可知，填cause；句子which c_____1_____ their friend “ship” to sink. 是定語從句，修飾does something selfish；結(jié)合語境可知，句子They are friends, but each does something selfish which c_____1_____ their friend “ship” to sink. 的時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時；又因?yàn)?/span>each does something selfish是單數(shù)，所以cause用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故答案為：causes。

【2】句意：有句老話說的好，密友抵得上千個遠(yuǎn)親。由語境和首字母提示可知，填worth；be worth“等于”的意思；本題的語境是：密友抵得上千個遠(yuǎn)親。故答案為：worth。

【3】句意：這可能是對的。由語境和首字母提示可知，填probably；probably是副詞，修飾后面的形容詞right。故填：probably。

【4】句意：朋友是一位你能和他交流最深的情感的人。由語境和首字母提示可知，填deep；由上文的句子Even more than your family, a friend is someone you can share your happy and sad moments with.可知，比你的家人更重要的是，朋友是你可以與之分享快樂和悲傷時光的人。那么該句話就進(jìn)一步說了朋友的重要性，因此用最高級deepest。語境是：朋友是一位你能和他交流最深的情感的人。故答案為：deepest。

【5】句意：有一個好朋友你就不會孤獨(dú)。由語境和首字母提示可知，填alone；由上半句with a good friend可知，和一個好朋友在一起，你就不會孤獨(dú)。因此填alone。

【6】句意：保護(hù)你友誼之船不會沉沒的秘訣歸結(jié)于三件簡單的事情：分享，關(guān)心和交流。由語境和首字母提示可知，填keep；由The key to可知，to不是不定式標(biāo)志，而是個介詞。那么既然是介詞，其后面的動詞就要變成動名詞形式。故填：keeping。

【7】句意：友誼使生活更快樂，更有意義，但要記住，“擁有朋友的唯一途徑就是成為一個朋友。” 由語境和首字母提示可知，填one；這句話的語境是：朋友好的就像一個人。因此用one。故答案填：one。

英語首字母填空技巧

1. 通讀短文知大意，看整體全面了解來源：

　　與閱讀理解題和其它類型的完形填空一樣，首先要通讀短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之間必然承上啟下、前呼后應(yīng)。因此通讀全文時要一氣呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，細(xì)節(jié)不理解可以跳過。因此，在解題之前通讀一遍短文，目的是對文章有個全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。

2. 復(fù)讀短文抓信息，前后照應(yīng)巧猜詞

　　在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通讀短文，目的是對短文有更進(jìn)一步的了解。在閱讀時要特別注意一篇文章的開頭（一般不設(shè)空）和結(jié)尾，它們能提供主要的信息，幫助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。在閱讀過程中，要注意上、下文的關(guān)系，這對于把握文章的整體意義大有用處。另外，要學(xué)會跳讀，即對不理解的地方采用暫時回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解決的方法。有些短文填空題，有時出現(xiàn)約 3%~5% 的生詞是很正常的，這就要求學(xué)生根據(jù)構(gòu)詞知識或上、下文的意思加以猜測，來確定它的詞義。

3. 反復(fù)推敲多分析，慎重答題講合理

　　再次通讀短文，對留空的句子進(jìn)行全面的分析，看它在全文中所處的位置、作用和意義。這一遍閱讀要求是精心閱讀，要留心找出關(guān)鍵詞、短語或句子，還要結(jié)合所給首字母的提示，進(jìn)行填寫，并注意單詞的正確形式。例如：第7小題，句意：如果你沒有時間制作它們，你可以從超市買到它們。結(jié)合上文，通常情況下，可以在家包餃子。那么沒有時間包的話，可以從超市買。結(jié)合首字母提示可知用buy，can后面跟動詞原形。故答案為buy。

4. 認(rèn)真復(fù)查全文，把握整體和詞形來源：

做完以后，再認(rèn)真讀一遍，檢查所填寫的單詞是否與文章要求相符，文章是否通順，前后是否呼應(yīng)，有無句型結(jié)構(gòu)及語法錯誤。
