I grew up with my best friend, who was just like a sister to me. She was a little older than me. I  36 to her. If ever I had a problem, she was always  37 enough to help me out.

  As time went on, she became more  40 , and became a person I did not  41 anymore. All I wanted was to help her. Every time I tried, she would get  42 , and say she was fine.

Well, for a minute my world stood still, along with my heart. There was nothing to say or do, just tears in the  47 . Thinking over and over again, if only I had spent the time to notice the  48 , maybe I could have saved her.

  My mother, seeing my distress, sat me down and told me this.

  本文是記敘文。作者的好朋友染上毒癮,最終死亡,而恰在此時作者的妹妹也開始吸毒。作者傷心之時,母親告訴她:可以通過此事例教育孩子,遠離毒品。于是作者參加了學(xué)校的義務(wù)活動,用自己的朋友和妹妹的例子來警示孩子們毒品的危害。

36.解析:選B。根據(jù)語境判斷,作者非常尊敬自己的朋友,因此選look up to“仰視, 敬仰某人”,符合邏輯。

37.解析:選D。根據(jù)語境分析,此處表示兩人關(guān)系親密,是知心朋友,因此選close“親密的”符合邏輯。A項表示“敏捷的”,C項表示“聰明的”,意思都不夠準(zhǔn)確、全面。

38.解析:選A。從后文朋友變化得讓作者感到陌生可知答案。C項意思是“衰敗,衰退”,不合邏輯。

39.解析:選C。當(dāng)作者詢問朋友原因時,朋友并沒有告訴她真相,因此朋友的態(tài)度不好。D項表示“粗野的”,語義過重,用于朋友之間不恰當(dāng)。

40.解析:選A。從后文朋友變得連作者都不認識了可知,此處表示朋友的境況越發(fā)糟糕,分析四個選項可知,只有bitter“痛苦的,凄慘的”最能表達語境。

41.解析:選D。朋友對作者也不說實話,因此變得讓作者都不認識了。

42.解析:選B。每當(dāng)作者詢問朋友的情況,對方總是充滿了戒心,不跟作者說實話,因此選defensive“具有防御心理的”符合邏輯。

43.解析:選C。從后文可知,作者最終得知朋友染上了毒癮,因此此處表示作者終于得到了問題的答案。從下文可知,作者并沒有獲得機會來幫助對方,因此不選B。

44.解析:選A。從后文不難推斷,此答案應(yīng)為“毒品”。

45.解析:選B。從語境可知作者以及母親的悲傷,因此母親眼含淚水告訴作者事情的真相。

46.解析:選C。文章最后一段有提示:作者不再為朋友的死而感到自責(zé)。

47.解析:選D。聽到朋友的死訊,作者震驚,因此整個世界都凝固了,在寂靜中作者只有讓淚水盡情流淌。

48.解析:選A。后文有提示,母親告訴自己注意到“征兆”也無濟于事。

49.解析:選C。從母親安慰作者可知,母親告訴她有些事情是我們所控制不了的,因此選control。

50.解析:選D。前文以及文章最后一段都說明作者為自己沒能阻止朋友而感到自責(zé)。

51.解析:選B。文章最后一段有提示,作者在學(xué)校進行志愿活動,宣傳毒品的危害。

52.解析:選D。文章講述的是毒品的危害,因此作者從事宣傳如何預(yù)防毒品。A項意思是“健康意識”意思過于籠統(tǒng)。

53.解析:選A。前文描述了作者因為朋友的死而感到震驚和傷心,因此母親告訴作者用自己對毒品的感受來教育孩子們。

54.解析:選B。前后構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,作者不再自責(zé),而是開始從事志愿者工作,因此instead符合邏輯。

55.解析:選C。作者通過自己親身經(jīng)歷的事情來告訴孩子們毒品的危害,因此選danger符合語境。
