2、AmericansaremakingnewfriendsallthetimeandfewAmericansstayinoneplace

foralifetime.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据文章第一段的内容，第一句话就说很少有美国人总是呆在一个地

方，他们从城镇搬到城市，再搬到郊区；读高中和大学是在不同的网，先在这里工

作后又换到另外的地方做另外一个更好的工作等等，他们老在不停地更换位力，而

且在这个过程中他们永远都在结交新朋友(forevermakingnewIriends)o因此，这句

话是正确的。

3、Peopleindifferentcountrieshavedifferentexpectationsofwhatmakesforfriendship.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章第三段大概讲述了不同国家的人对友谊的理解及期待是不同的。

Thedifficultywhenstrangersfromtwocountriesmeetisnotalackofappreciationof

friendship,butdifferentexpectationsaboutwhatconstitutesfriendshipandhowit

comesintobeing.可见，这句话的概括是准确的。

4、ForFrenchpeoplethebestfriendshipisthatbetweenaroanandawoman.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章在讲到法国人的友谊时说，uInFrance,asinmanyEuropean

countries,friendsgenerallyanofthesamesex,andfriendshipisseenasbasicallya

relalionshipbelweenmen.”所以，在法国友谊是男人们间的事情，而这句话而“最

好的友谊是一个男人和一个女人间的”是完全错误的。

5、InFrancefriendshipisbasedoncompatibilityofoutlook.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章第十一段的最后一句说明这句话是正确的，“Thespecial

relationshipoffriendshipisbasedonwhattheFrenchvaluemost-onthemind,on

compatibilityofoutlook,onvividawarenessofsomechosenareaaoflife?*

6、InGermanytiesoffriendshiparemeanttobeforever.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：德国人的友谊与法国人的不同，对他们而言，友谊更像是一种感觉

(feeling),而且，uLiketieskinship,tiesoffriendshiparemeanttobeirrevocably

binding^关键要理解这句话的意思，即像亲属的纽带一样，友谊的纽带是不可撤

回的有法律约束力的，也就是一辈子的事情。因此，这句话是正确的。

7、Englishfriendshipscometoanendwhenonefriendseriouslymisunderstandsthe

other'sfeelings,pointofvieworactions.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：英国人的友谊的终结不是不能调解相互不同的观点或感觉的结果，而

是误会、误解的结果，也就是一个朋友严重地误会了另外一个人的想法(feel)或行

为(act),所以，他们的友谊也就结束了。

8、Therearefourcommonelementsinfriendshipwhichmakepossiblebridgesbetween

differentpeople.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章的最后一段讲述了不同国家、社会的人们建立友谊的桥梁的相似

点，但并未说有四个普遍性。因此，这种说法是不明确的。

9、ForaFrenchman,aGermanoranEnglishmanfriendshipisusuallymore

particularizedandcarriesheavier

标准答案：burdenofcommitment

知识点解析：答案见文章第三段最后一句。

10、Friendshipbetweenpeoplecanbetakenupagaineasilyeveniffriendsare

separatedlorsometime.

标准答案：American

知识点解析：填此空需对照不同国家友谊的特点来做，很显然美国人的友谊符合此

特点，在他们分离一段时间后很容易又可以继续他们的友谊。

11>In,ifafriendiscomplimentedasa"goodfriend",itusuallymeansthis

friendisnotasclosetothepersonasafriend.

标准答案：France

知识点解析：在法国，如果一个朋友恭维地说另一个人为“好朋友”的话，他实际要

表达的意思是这个人还没有“afriend”对他而言亲密。

51、Whatisthemaintopicofthepassage?

A、Themovementofglaciers.

B、Icebergsasasourceoffreshwater.

C、Futurewatershortages.

D^Thefiitureoftheworld'srivers.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干中的thepassage将本题出处定位到全文。本文首先指出很

多国家正在认真考虑oblainingfreshwaterfromicebergs这一想法，接着说明冰川可

以提供巨大的淡水资源，然后说明这一方法的可行性。由此可知，木文主要围绕从

冰山中获取淡水资源展开，故答案为出|。文章第三段提到冰山的运动是为了说明

把冰山蓄拦起来并拖到世界上需要它们的地方将不会太困难，不是本文主要内容，

故排除［A］；文章首段末句指出将来人类会面临淡水资源短缺，但文章讨论的重点

不是缺水问题本身，而是如何用冰山来解决这一问题，故排除［C］。［D］是针对第二

段设的干扰项。

52、Accordingtothepassage,icebergssometimesmoveinadirectionoppositetothe

wind.

A、forunknownreasons

B、owingtotheforceofwind

C、becauseofthemeltingoficeduetothepull

D、duetothecurrentsbeneaththesealevel

标准答案；D

知识点解析：根据题干中的inadirectionoppositetothewind将本题出处定位到第

三段第三句。该句中提到，icebergssometimesmovemysteriouslyinadirection

oppositetothewind»pulledbysubsurfacecurrents（冰山有时会在底层洋流的推动下

颇为神秘地逆风移动），［D］中的ihecurrentsbeneaththesealevel是对subsurface

currents的同义转述，故答案为［D］。

53、Theword"corral"（Line6,Para.3）isclosestinmeaningto"

A、protectbyforminggroups

B、captureandkeepholdof

C、gather

D、break

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干中的corral将本题出处定位到第三段末句。该句提到，To

corralthemandsteerthemtopartsoftheworldwheretheyareneededwouldnotbetoo

difficult,其中的Ihem指代icebergs。sleer意为“驾驶，掌舵“，用在此处表示把冰

山拖到世界上需要它们的地方，而steer之前的动作应该是截获那些drift（漂流）的冰

climates以及theicebergslosthalfoftheirvolumeinhauling可知，可能会在运输冰

山过程中损失很多淡水，由此可排除［C］；原文中的10,000指的是icebergs而非
