I first met Joe Gans when we were both 9 years old, which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each other. Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student. We haven’t been in the same classes, sports or extracurricular activities. Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house, and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests.
In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn’t take the time to get to know-Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is, for the social divisions that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.
16. Why does the speaker say Joe Gans became one of his best friends?
17. Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends?
18. What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe?
选项
A、Social divisions will break down if people get to know each other.
B、One has to be respectful of other people in order to win respect
C、It is hard for people from different backgrounds to become friends.
D、Durable friendships can be very difficult to maintain
答案
A
解析
说话人说,很多人他认识却从来没有喜欢过,这只是因为自己没花时间去了解。多亏了Joe他才意识到,社会各阶层之间的差异(social divisions)其实没什么实际基础。换言之,社会间的差异或隔阂其实可以通过相互了解而消除,因此选A。C、D均含负面意义,与短文中的正面例子不符,故可首先排除;B主要提到“互相尊重(respect)”的问题,这在文中并未提及,故也可排除。文中提到了social divisions,符合“短文听力听到什么选什么”的原则。
