专题限时训练(三十二)　

(一)

To build an incredible and successful relationship is something like erecting a building. First of all，you should start with an idea which is expected by everyone，and then you can put a solid foundation stone for that idea. Putting a strong foundation stone is very important and it keeps your building steady. Every part of that building is totally depending upon that solid foundation.

So，here are the three rules to establish a successful relationship：

The first rule is just having fun. Once relationship is established then the things become stable. Once it gets stable then you start feeling stifled (压抑的) and fun is no longer there in your relationship. But remember this thing is very dangerous for relationship. You can plan something great like a weekend road trip. Even you can also plan some of your favorite activities at least twice a month. Enjoy laughing with each other and try to find different ways to keep this laughter alive.

The second rule is ____________. In relationship it is important that both the partners should deserve equal treatment. If anyone of the partners dominates the other then such relationship is surely not going to survive for a long time. Such relationships are called unbalanced relationship and it is going to give lots of pain. So，try to give respect to each other equally.

The third rule is always to be open and honest with each other. Another good and important part of any relationship is being honest and open­minded with your partner. Whenever the problem arises in your relations，honesty is very crucial. Even being open­minded with each other is a foundation to your good relationship. Honesty is the most valuable thing. If you become very honest with each other then problems can be very easily sorted out.

You need put lots of efforts to build a successful relationship. This effort is required from both the partners. And the reward which you are going to get will be fantastic. If the three rules mentioned above are maintained very well then there will be a strong chance of a long term and wonderful relationship.

Elizabeth and I are 18 now，and about to graduate. I think about our elementary­school friendship，but some memories have blurred(使模糊不清). What happened that day in fifth grade when Beth suddenly stopped speaking to me? Does she know that I’ve been thinking about her for seven years? If only we could go back，discover what ended our relationship.

I have to speak with Beth. I see her sometimes，find out school is “fine”. It’s not the same. It never will be. Rumor has it that she’s Liz now. What happened to Beth?

I can’t call her. Should I write? What if she doesn’t answer me? How will I know what she’s thinking? Yes，I’ll write her a letter. These things are easier to express in writing. “Dear_Be­，”_no，“Dear_Li­，”_no，“Dear_Elizabeth，” I begin. The words flow freely，as seven­year­old memories are reborn. I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind，and pray she will answer. I seal my thoughts in the perfect white envelope，and imagine Beth peering (端详) into her mailbox. Will she know why I’m writing? Maybe she once thought of writing the same letter.

As the mailman takes my envelope from me forever，I wonder if I’ve made the right decision. Do I have the right to force myself into Beth’s life again? Am I simply part of the past? I have taken the first step. Beth_has_control_of_the_situation_now.

One day has passed. Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor?

Two days are gone. I’m lost in thought and don’t even hear the phone ring.

“Hello? It’s Elizabeth.”

I have a friend who lives by a three­word philosophy (人生哲学): Seize the moment. Just possibly，she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it，don’t have it on their schedule，don’t know it is coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.

I can’t count the times I called my sister and said，“How about going to lunch in half an hour？” She would gasp and stammer (结结巴巴地说)，“I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday，I had a late breakfast，and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It’s_just_Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on，I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.

Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter，and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning，we awaken，and all that has to show for our lives is repetition of “I’m going to”，“I plan on” and “Someday，when things are settled down a bit.”

When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend，she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes，and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day，I stopped the car and bought a triple­decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home，I would have died happily.

Now…go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to…not something on your SHOULD DO list.

(　　)1. The example of the writer’s sister serves as ________.

A．an argument B．an introduction

C．a support D．a conclusion

(　　)2. The writer thinks that the excuse “It’s just Monday.” is acceptable，because ________.

A．it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later

B．it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses

C．it shows respect for the writer’s suggestion

D．it indicates the time when they can have lunch together

(　　)3. The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “________” .

A．appropriate B．influential

C．practical D．evident

(　　)4. What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?

A．To suggest how time flies.

B．To persuade busy people to relax.

C．To advise people to keep their promise.

D．To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.

专题限时训练(三十二)

(一)

1. B　主旨大意题。本文主要讲述怎样建立成功的人际关系。

2. D　段落大意题。第一段主要告诉读者打好基础在建立良好关系中的作用。

3. A　细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句可知A项正确。D项所提到的只是彼此尊敬的一个表现方面，故最佳答案为A项。

4. A　词义猜测题。若把原句 honesty is very crucial补充完整则为honesty is very crucial in solving the problem, 故critical (至关重要的)符合语境。

5. B　细节理解题。B项与最后一段中的 And the reward which you are going to get will be fantastic相符。

(二)

本文讲述了作者和朋友Elizabeth之间的友谊。

1. D　细节理解题。由文章中首句及Does she know that I’ve been thinking about her for seven years?

2. C　句意猜测题。通过阅读文章，可以知道作者的心情很复杂，因为她们好多年不说话了，所以现在不知道该如何称呼为好。

3. D　句意猜测题。结合文中I have taken the first step.及One day has passed. Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor？可以得知，作者在等待着朋友的回复。

4. A　推理判断题。从上文句子I’m lost in thought and don’t even hear the phone ring. “Hello? It’s Elizabeth.” 可以判断出，Beth已经打电话来了，作者很激动，不相信这是真的。

(三)

1. C　推理判断题。在文中，作者的姐姐其实是作为一个反面例子来论证作者的观点的。由于姐姐总是推脱，到死作者都没能和姐姐一起吃顿午饭，以此例来支持作者的观点：做自己想做的事，及时享受生活的乐趣。所以C项是对的。

2. A　句意猜测题。选项A更贴近作者的观点和要求，即过些时候她们还可以一起吃午饭。B、C、D三项没什么依据。

3. B　词义猜测题。从此句的后边一句话(你和她交谈5分钟，你就会……)可以看出她对生活的热情是很有感染力的、很有影响力的，所以可推断这个单词的意思是“有感染力、有影响力的”，即答案为B项。appropriate合适的；practical实际的，实用的；evident明显的，显然的。

4. D　主旨大意题。整篇文章作者所表达的观点是：做自己想做的事，及时享受生活的乐趣。所以D项更贴近作者的意图。
