Question

【题目】任务型阅读

I remember when I was growing up, my mom always said, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” It’s so true. Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moments. They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I have always looked at friends as the family members. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “A ①________ is a present which you give yourself.”

To be a good friend, ②成为一个年的听众是很重要的。Hear what your friend says first rather than making conclusions (结论) quickly. Sometimes it is useful to repeat their words back to them, it can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say.

Patience is also important in being a good friend. You know the old golden rule. “Care for others in the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a difficult time could make a difference between success and failure. ③ Encouragement is the best gift that can change a person’s life.

We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge influence in our life. As someone told me “Your friends are like the button (按钮) on a lift. ④ Sometimes they will take you up, sometimes they will take you down.”

【解析】

这篇短文告诉我们朋友是自己给自己的礼物，怎样成为一位好的朋友呢：成为一个好听众很重要，其次是要有耐心；当然我们选择朋友时要细心，因为朋友就像电梯的按钮，他们可以把你送到楼上也可以带你到楼下。

【1】根据上文They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I have always looked at friends as the family members. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said,可知，下文是“朋友就是你给自己的一个礼物。”这里是是一个朋友，friend名词，意思是“朋友”。故填friend。

【2】It’s very/quite/pretty important to do sth.表示做某事是重要的，可以让it做形式主语，be /become a good listener.成为一个好的听者；这里也可以用动词不定式做主语或动名词做主语；To be/To become/ Being/Becoming a good listener成为一个好的听者；根据题意，故填It’s very/quite/pretty important to be /become a good listener./ To be/To become/ Being/Becoming a good listener is very/quite/pretty important。

【3】Encouragement is the best gift that can change a person’s life. encouragement意思是“鼓励”；

the best gift最好的礼物；这里是定语从句，先行词是gift，关系词用that；can能，会，后加动词原形；change a person’s life表示改变一个人的生活；根据题意，故填鼓励是能够改变一个人的一生/生命/生活的最好的礼物。

【4】Sometimes they will take you up, sometimes they will take you down.意思是“有时他们会带你上去，有时他们会带你下来。”either…or…表示或者……或者……；要么……要么……;

相当于They will take you either up or down.根据题意，故填either ; or。

【5】根据文中We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge influence in our life.可知，因为他们会对我们的生活产生巨大的影响。故填Because they can have a huge influence in our life。
