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、They shared many extracurricular activities.
B、They had known each other since childhood
C、They shared mutual friends in school.
D、They had many interests in common.
答案
B
解析
根据录音开头的both 9 years old,判断和childhood相关。录音开头提到,说话人与JoeGans在他们9岁时相遇,而这很可能就是JoeGans是他最要好的朋友之一的唯一原因。据此推断因为他们从小就相识了解,所以成为了好友,故应选B。说话人特别提到他和Joe Gans从来没有参加过共同的课外活动,故A错误;而C中的“共同的朋友”也没有提及:短文中也提到他们之间缺乏共同的兴趣(lack of immediately visible mutualinterests),因此D也错误。
