问题  
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、Durable friendships can be very difficult to maintain.
B、One has to be respectful of other people in order to win respect.
C、Social divisions will break down if people get to know each other.
D、It is hard for people from different backgrounds to become friends.

答案 C

解析 四个选项内容均为泛指的总结性句子,并结合17题B)中的Joe’s可推测,本题很可能在考查说话者从友情或人际交往中悟出的道理。短文最后提到,幸好有Joe,我才意识到how little basis there is for the social divisions that exist in every community(社区的人群分划是多么没有根据),也就是说人们一旦互相了解,这种人群划分就会被打破,故答案为C)。短文的结尾处及因果处常设为考点,而且经常是短文的最后一道题,听音时应加以留意。
