When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC. our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD. we parted with each other in London2. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.A. call each other regularlyB. have similar personalitiesC. enjoy writing to each otherD. dream of meeting each other3. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.A. seek professional help B. be left aloneC. stay with her best friend D. break the silence

全文翻译：说到朋友，我渴望拥有那种能分享我的喜悦，有自己的翅膀并能和我一同飞翔的朋友。我寻找能够用品质照亮我，用爱培育我的朋友。我为这些人贮藏着那些“峥嵘岁月”，它们太美好了，我不得不和大家分享一下。我读八年级的时候有一个朋友。我们都很害羞，当班级的同学流行起学习那些被认同的社交行为时，我们都太过在意成绩。我们在学校很少说话，但是她会来我家，我们就拿着纸笔坐下，我们其中一个会说：“今天我们从火车汽笛声开始吧！”我们安安静静地坐在一起，各自从火车汽笛声联想出诗歌或是故事。然后我们会大声念出来。那学期结束后，我们也变成了走社会的人，而那些故事和诗歌都停止了。我住在伦敦的一段时间有一个朋友，他和我都很绝望。但是我们都觉得如果因为一时的不愉快导致我们不去探索这座伟大的城市，我们过后会后悔的，这也是我们友谊的基础。五周来，我们每周日见面，说说自己在这一周发现的美妙事物。我们边说边走，直到我们心中的失望散去再分别。就这样，我们把伦敦展现给了对方。将近4年来，我有一个非凡的朋友，她的想象力照亮了我。我们相互写很长的信，信中我们通常会发现最奇怪的自我。我们各自会出现在对方的梦里，虽然有时候是以滑稽的形式。我们都认为在某些时候，我们像是同一个心灵的两部分。但是我们从未谋面。我所期望的朋友都是如此的令人鼓舞。和他们在一起度过鲜亮的一小时，胜过心理学家终身的服务，因为心理学家只会填满那些你从最黑暗时光里愈合的寂静空虚，而这些时光中，我倒愿意自己做自己最好的朋友。词汇短语：illuminate 1. 使明亮; 照亮 train sb. up (充分)培养, 训练, 教育reserve 1. 保留[储备]某物too ... to 太……而不，相反意思就是too ... not to 太……以至于不能不social behavior 社会性行为，社交行为train whistle 火车汽笛whistle 1. 哨子, 汽笛2. 口哨声, 汽笛声。这个词前几天刚出现过哦～social creature 社会性的动物be in despair 绝望remarkable 异常的; 不寻常的,非凡的；奇异的；显著的；引人注目的comforting 令人欣慰的，安慰的，令人鼓舞的

答案详解：1.选A。第三段中，这句话最可能是什么意思？仔细阅读第三段，可以知道作者和她的朋友是在各自探索伦敦，然后每周日见面，把一周的收获告诉对方，这样五个星期下来，各自都了解了不少伦敦，所以说：我们把伦敦给了对方。意思就是我们把伦敦展现给了对方，用各自的探索作为最难忘的礼物送给对方。所以答案选A。C：我们对伦敦不好的感觉消失了。错误，前文并没有说两人对伦敦感觉不好，而是说到如果不去探索伦敦，自己事后会后悔。2.选C。根据第四段，作者和她的朋友？第四段写的是她的一位笔友。她们都喜欢给各自写信，所以C选项符合。B选项：有相同的个性。这句话说的不准确，文章是有说两人很相像，但是前提是：有时候。就是两个人的只是有时候很相像，所以B的陈述太绝对了。3选B。在黑暗的时光，作者更愿意？这道题很有迷惑性哦～！最后一段大家一定要认认真真读懂，我们只要看最后半句话就好了：to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.意思就是，在这些时光里，我（不需要心理医生）宁愿自己做自己最好的朋友。所以是独自一人。千万要小心不要看错成：我宁愿和自己最好的朋友在一起。所以答案选B。
