第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题， 每小题1.5分，满分30分）

第一节：阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上涂黑。

A

Friends are important to our lives. We talk to our friends about things which we can’t talk to our families about, and friends offer support when we need it and provide companionship(n.交谊, 友谊).

It can be very easy to forget to communicate with your friends once you get married, have kids or have a job. Sometimes it’s hard enough to find time for your family and yourself, let alone your friends.

A friend is someone who was once a stranger, and after you made a special connection, you became friends with each other. How amazing it is! It doesn’t happen every day or with everyone you come across. So the fact that you were able to build a friendship with someone who was once a stranger to you is a great and wonderful thing. This is why it’s important to find time for your friends.

Finding time for friends can be as simple as calling them on the phone for a chat every now and then. This lets them know that they are in your thoughts and that they are important to you. Little gestures such as sending your friends some greeting cards, remembering their birthdays, and lending them a helping hand are also ways you can find time for your friends.

Whether you go to the movies, meet for dinner, go dancing, or have a party, spending time together is a great way to relax and reconnect you with each other.

Keep in mind that friends are a special and important part of our lives. So spend some time a day to include them in the balance of your life!

51. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE if you have many friends?

A. You will have kids soon. B. You can get married more easily.

C. You can not find a job like before. D. You can share your feelings with them.

52. According to the passage, all of the following are ways to get in touch with your friends EXCEPT ______.

A. calling them on the phone B. sending them greeting cards

C. having dinner with their kids D. lending them a helping hand

53. Which of the following is NOT a choice that you reconnect with your friends?

A. Go to movies. B. Meet for dinner.

C. Go dancing. D. Remember their birthdays.

B
