.七选五
(2014·长春市第三次调测)
Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe.__1__ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?
__2__ With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.
Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. __3__ This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.
Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. __4__ While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，告诉读者信任是联系的纽带和基础，以及在生活中如何才能知道我们的朋友是否信任我们。
1.C 考查考生对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。由第一段最后两句 “Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. __1__ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone.” 可知。答案中的信息与画线部分信息吻合。
2.F 考查考生对段落大意的概括能力。本句是主题句，概括下文。“With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself.”
3.B 考查考生对上下文因果关系的理解能力。上文说你想征求他人意见时最想找的是你的父母或朋友，下文答案接着给出找他们的原因是你知道他们不会害你，故选B。
4.D 考查考生对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。根据本段第一句 “Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship” 可知。答案中的信息与画线部分信息吻合。
5.G 考查考生对上下文转折关系的理解能力。本答案的上文说人生中有时候你会感到孤独，下文则说真正的朋友绝不会让你失望或沮丧，故为转折关系，并且答案句的开头又有提示词However，因此选G。
