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、They shared mutual friends in school.
B、They had many interests in common.
C、They shared many extracurricular activities.
D、They had known each other since childhood.
答案
D
解析
选项中 shared,mumal,had…in common和since childhood提示,问题可能是关于They成为朋友的原因。短文开头提到I first met Joe Gans when we were both nine years old(第一次见到Joe Gans的时候我俩才九岁),这或许就是他成为我最好的朋友之一的唯一原因,由此可知答案为D)。短文的开头处常设为考点,听音时应加以留意。
