I first met Joe Gans when we were both nine years old, which is probably the only reason he’s 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.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
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、At a local club.
B、At Joe’s house.
C、At the boarding school.
D、At the sports center.
答案
B
解析
选项均表示地点,听音时应留意涉及地点场所的细节信息。短文中提到我们不在一个班级,也没有一起参加体育运动或课外活动,但是I spend nearly every weekend at his house(几乎每个周末我都在Joe Gans的家里过),由此可知说话者的大部分周末都是在Joe Gans的家里度过的,故答案为B)。短文中的转折处常设为考点,听音时应加以留意。
