Question

It is not easy to find true friends. Even if you’ve connected with someone, how do you really know he is a true friend? And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may have let you down. There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend.

Generally speaking, a true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens. They will stand by you through bad and good times. They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you, and they will be there to help you grow in new ways.

A true friend will keep you secrets for you trust him. They will be honest and be someone you can depend on. They will listen and be someone you can talk things over with, even if they may not have advice to share with you.

However, friendship is a two-way street. To find true friends and keep them, you must in turn be the same as well. Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them. Be someone your friends can depend on as well and offer them the same thing they give to you. A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort. If you are the only one making an effort, be honest and it works.

Actually, there will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship. If it can survive those barriers, it will be stronger and better than ever. Just as St Thomas Aquinas put it, “There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship.”

【解析】

試題分析:朋友間的友誼是人們生活中不可或缺的一種關(guān)系，人生中缺少友誼就像生活中沒有了陽光。但是真正的朋友卻是很難獲得的，而且友誼也需要雙方的共同經(jīng)營和維系，需要雙方的真誠，信任和理解。在本文中作者對友誼的內(nèi)涵進(jìn)行了詮釋并且告訴人們?nèi)绾稳ケ３忠环萦颜x。

1.opinions/ideas/views 信息歸納題。文章首句提出It is not easy to find true friends.，然后介紹了幾個生活中會出現(xiàn)的具體情況，由此判斷這是作者對真正朋友的看法，填opinions/ideas/views。

2.hardly/rarely/seldom信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章首段首句It is not easy to find true friends.可知真正的朋友是不容易獲得的，由此判斷本句中應(yīng)該填否定意義的副詞，填hardly/rarely/seldom。

3.support 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。在文章第二段作者提出a true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens. They will stand by you through bad and good times.，由此判斷朋友是無論發(fā)生什么事情都會支持你的人，will 后面跟動詞原形，所以填動詞support。

4.listener信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容 They will listen and be someone you can talk things over with,可知真正的朋友懂得傾聽你的心聲，他們是一個好的聽眾，填listener。

5.Ways 信息歸納題。文章第四段提出To find true friends and keep them, you must in turn be the same as well.“友誼的維持應(yīng)該靠雙方的努力”，然后在下文中介紹了如何去做才能維持一份真正的友誼，由此判斷此處填Ways。

6.Stay/Be 信息查找題。根據(jù)文章第四段內(nèi)容Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them可以判斷當(dāng)朋友有困難的時(shí)候不要離棄他們，要和他們在一起共同面對，故填Stay或者Be。

7.trust 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。從文章第四段內(nèi)容 Be someone your friends can depend on as well and offer them the same thing they give to you.可知作者建議人們要做朋友可以依賴，信任的人，故答案填trust。

8.Honesty 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。由文章第四段末句 If you are the only one making an effort, be honest and it works.可知當(dāng)你是其中努力的一方時(shí)，誠實(shí)才是上策，此處填名詞Honesty。

9.Conclusion 信息歸納題。作者在上文介紹了真正的朋友是什么樣子的，他們要如何去維持好這種友誼，最后提出在友誼的道路上也存在著障礙，不過這是對友誼的考驗(yàn)。由此判斷作者最后是對文章中心進(jìn)行概括總結(jié)，填Conclusion。

10.barriers/tests 信息查找題。在文章末段作者提出友誼也會碰到障礙，也要經(jīng)受一些考驗(yàn)，由此判斷此處填barriers/tests。
