Answer 1

分析 朋友在我们的生活中扮演重要的作用．大多数人希望他们的朋友永远在．他们希望友谊天长地久．但是，即使最美好的友谊也可能会结束．当我们的友谊结束时，最好的办法是忘记痛苦，并努力开始去寻找新的友谊．

解答 31．B．考查动词及语境的理解．A．hope希望；B．expect期待；C．decide决定；D．prefer更喜欢．根据Most people hope that their friends will always be there．可知，这里的意思是：他们希望友谊能够永远保持下去．但是hope的用法是hope to do，hope 后不能跟sb/sth to do 形式．expect的用法则是expect sb/sth to do．故选B．
32．A．考查副词及语境的理解．A．Unfortunately不幸的是；B．Luckily幸运的是；C．Then那么，然后；D．So所以． 根据They expected friendship to last forever…even the best friendship can end．可知，后句的意义发生了转折，他们希望友谊能够永远保持下去…即使最好的友谊也可能会结束．所以此处应用Unfortunately表达友谊的结束．故选A．
33．C．考查名词及语境的理解．A．interest兴趣；B．experience经历；C．change变化；D．suggestion建议．根据As time goes by，many friendships end because of a（n）--in personality or way of life．可知随着时间的推移，许多友谊会因为个性或者生活方式的原因的变化而结束．友谊从有到无也是变化．故选C．
34．B．考查动词及语境的理解．A．forgets忘记；B．disappears消失；C．appears出现；D．improves 改进．根据The friendship was just over．可知，友谊慢慢地失去了重要性，最后导致的结果就是消失了．故选B．
35．D．考查动词及语境的理解． A．finished结束；B．practiced练习；C．continued 继续；D．started开始．前面是我甚至都不知道友谊已经结束了，直到我发现自己把艾伦当作前朋友．根据The friendship was just over．可知：友谊结束了，从见面越来越少开始，指一个渐变的过程．故选D．
36．C．考查动词短语及语境的理解． A．break down机器等出故障；B．break away 摆脱；C．break off中断；D．break in插话．根据Sometimes friendships--suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place可知意思是：有时友谊会因为意见不合或者搬家而突然中断．故选C． 
37．B．考查副词及语境的理解．A．often经常；B．seldom很少；C．always总是；D．never从不．这里以Alice为例，说明友谊的变化．我从城市的一边搬到另一边，从那以后，我们就…通电话，后面也说我们见面也越来越少了．最后我们之间的友谊就结束了．可知是很少通电话．故选 B．
38．A．考查动词及语境的理解．A．struggling挣扎；B．satisfying满意；C．pleased高兴；D．fed饲养．根据关键词with new jobs并结合语境可知应用固定短语struggle with sth意为"和…作斗争；这里是指我们的友谊结束是因为我们两个都忙于新工作．故选A．
39．D．考查介词及语境的理解．A．at在；B．by提通过，根据；C．on关于；D．in在…之内．这里keep in touch with是固定搭配，保持联系．故选D． 
40．A．考查连词及语境的理解．A．even if即使；B．while当…的时候；C．before 在…之前；D．since自从． 根据Our friendship was so dead that I didn't call him--I went home．"分析语意可知，我们的友谊结束了以至于即使我回家了也不会给他打电话．故选A．
41．B．考查形容词及语境的理解．A．strange奇怪的；B．true真实的；C．false错误的；D．impossible不可能的．根据that friends will accept each other if they both remain what they were when they met，or change in similar directions．可知，两人都保持不变或者变化的方向很相似时，朋友就会保持住，这应该是一种事实．故选B．
42．A．考查时态的运用．A．will be将会是；B．is 是；C．will将；D．to be不定式不能单独做谓语．根据If they change or grow in different ways，the friendship most likely--lost．"，如果他们变了，成长的方式一样了，友谊很可能就会失去了．If从句是用一般现在时，则主句用一般将来时．lost在这里是形容词，所以需要用will be lost． 故选A．
43．B．考查形容词及语境的理解．A．little很少的；B．some一些；C．any任何；D．no 没有．根据No matter why，when，or how friendships end，there is always--pain of loss 可知失去友谊当然应该有些许的失落感．此句为肯定句，故用some表肯定"一些"．故选B．
44．D．考查动词及语境的理解．A．thought认为；B．checked检查；C．carried 携带；D．done做．这里应是do sth，结合nothing can be可知变成了被动句，所以应该用被动语态，所以是nothing can be done．没有什么可做的了．故选D．
45．C．考查非谓语动词及语境的理解．A．to ask for要求；表目的；B．forming构成；C．to build建立；表目的；D．beginning开始．根据it is important to forget the pain．Then move on--new friendships．可知忘记痛苦的目的是继续去建立新的友谊．move on to do 继续去做；建立友谊应该用build．故选C．
