在职艺术硕士（MFA）全国联考英文阅读理解历年真题试卷汇编6(总分：30.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、英文阅读理解题(总题数：3，分数：30.00)Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don"t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few. For example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position , and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background. Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about "being on the same wavelength". It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion. In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, ______.（分数：2.00）A.all those who get on well with each other are friendsB.friends are closer than people who just get on well with each other √C.everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD.every student has 6 friends解析：解析：这是一道考查细节的题型。
文中首段提到“…we often don’t clearly under—stand how we make friends．While we get on well with a number of people，we are usuallyfriends with only a very few．For example，the average among students is about 6 per per—son．”可推出选项A、C 和D都不符合题意。
含有绝对语气的词不能作为答案，A、C、D中含有all，everyone，every，意思太过绝对，也应首先排除。
因此只有选项B正确。
(2).When we make friends, we consider such things as age, race, and background, because______.（分数：2.00）A.it is not easy to have a friendly relationship with people when there is a marked difference in age and background √B.the degree of friendship between two people and the reasons for their shared interest can vary greatlyC.friends need to know all these thingsD.these are the most important factors to make friends解析：解析：这也是一道考查细节的题型。
从首段最后一句“Although these factors arenot of prime importance，it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a markeddifference in age and background．”可以看出选项A是符合题意的，选项B、C和D都比较片面。
(3).In Paragraph 2, "being on the same wavelength" means______.（分数：2.00）ing the same frequency while talkingB.keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC.having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests √D.having the same background解析：解析：这是一道考查推理的题型。
题干要求：推出“being on the same wavelength”在文中的意思。
考生首先找到这个短语在文章中的位置，根据前面一句或是后面一句的意思推出短语的意思。
第二段的首句“Some friendly relationships can be kept on argumentand discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs，to haveattitudes and interests in common-they often talk about‘being on the same wave—length’．”短语前出现的破折号有解释说明的意思。
因此，选项C是符合题意的。
值得注意的是，选项A是该短语的本意“说话时用同样的频率”，所以不符合文意。
(4).Which of the following is not implied in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Even friends may have differences of opinion.B.Friends never argue with each other. √C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D.Someone"s habits may annoy his friends.解析：解析：这是一道判断是非的题型。
注意题干中的NOT。
选项A，“朋友之间也会存在不同观点”，文中多处提到朋友间不同的信仰、态度、观点和兴趣，因此符合文意。
选项B，“朋友之间从来不发生争吵”，虽然文章并没有直接提到，但明显不符合文意，never一词也太绝对。
选项C，“成为亲密的朋友关系需要花费时间”，主要在文中第二段提及，符合文意。
选项D，“有些人的习惯使朋友感到不快”也是符合文意的。
(5).To strengthen friendly relationship, people______.（分数：2.00）A.must hold friendship ceremoniesB.have to eliminate differences in backgroundC.should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same raceD.should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotions √解析：解析：这是一道细节推理题。
题干：人们要增进友谊关系，需要怎么做?含有相关答案的信息的语句，在文中第三段最后一句中有所体现。
