根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Love and Friendship

They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex?  小题1:

What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way.  小题2:. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.

 小题3: In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element.  小题4: This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.

Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. 小题5: You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.

A.What about love?

B.My answer is “Yes”.

C.Let us try and understand.

D.Friendship does not have that.E.We need not explain anything to our very good friends.

F.You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.

G.The physical element may include hand in hand while walking.

答案

小题1:C

小题2:E

小题3:A

小题4:D

小题5:F

题目分析:本文主要讲述的是友谊和爱情之间的差别。

小题1:C 本句前面提出了两个问题What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex?在接下来对这两个问题进行解答,横线上需要的是一个过渡句。C项:让我们努力来理解。符合上下文的语境串联。

小题2:E 根据前面一句We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way.可知真正的好朋友是可以相互理解的,很多事情是不需要多加解释的。故E项正确。

小题3:A 在文章第二段中解释了什么是友谊?在文章的第三段里作者要解释的是什么是爱情?友谊和爱情也正是本文所要讨论的中心话题。故A项正确。

小题4:D 根据前面2句A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element.可知人与人之间的爱情让人们紧密联系在一起,而且涉及身体上的因素。而朋友之间的友谊是不会有这样的关系的。故D项符合上下文串联。

小题5:F 根据横线前后的2句Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend.

You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days可知朋友对我们的影响是有限的,而爱情对人的影响是巨大的。故F项符合前后串联。

Life in the twenty-first century

The World Future Society is a group of people from more than 80 countries who are interested in how modern technology is making our world better, and who write reports about how it will change our lives.                                                                                                                                            The things that we will be able to do in the twenty-first century (since the year 2000) should help us live better lives in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world. Here are just some of them, put into five groups.

People

People may live for up to 120 years and use new technology to help when people go blind, deaf and have other problems. The number of people over a hundred years old could go from 135,000 today to 2.2 million people by 2050. By 2015 people think that 100 million workers will be able to work from home for a company in a different country by using the Internet.

Money

Worldwide e-business will become even more successful with online shops that sell special products for each person, which will be brought to their house the next day.

Environment

Technology

Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and help inside the human body by taking away fat.
