More than forty thousand readers told us that they looked for in close friendships, what they expected 61 friends, what they were willing to give in 62, and how satisfied they were 63 the quality of their friendships. The 64 give little comfort to social critics.
Friendship 65 to be a unique form of 66 bonding. Unlike marriage or the ties that 67 parents and children, it is not defined or regulated by 68. Unlike other social roles that we are expected to 69—as citizens, employees, members of professional societies and 70 organizations—it has its own principle, which is to promote 71 of warmth, trust, love, and affection 72 two people.
The survey on friendship appeared in the March 73 of Psychology Today. The findings 74 that issues of trust and betrayal(背叛)are 75 to friendship. They also suggest that our readers do not 76 for friends only among those who are 77 like them, but find many 78 differ in race, religion, and ethnic(种族的)background. Arguably the most important 79 that emerges from the data, 80, is not something that we found—but what we did not.

【答案解析】：
61.B此题考查介词用法。expect sth. of sth.表示从……上期望获得……。因此，选择of。
62.D此题考查介词词组固定搭配。in return表示“以……作为回报”。从友谊中索取，自然同时要给予回报。
63.C此题考查介词用法。介词with有时可表达原因，如：I’m trembling with cold.(我冷得发抖。)这里的用法也是异曲同工。
64.C此题呼应前文。前文中多次提到人们对于友谊的期望，所以这里也要选择expectation。
65.D此题考查固定搭配。appear to be表示“似乎”;lead to表示“导致……的结果”，其他几个选项无此搭配。所以，选择appear符合题意。
66.C此题考查上下文理解。译文为：“友谊似乎是人与人之间相互联系的特殊纽带。”表示个人与个人之间，用individual。
67.A此题考查词汇。ties能发出的动作是bind(绑定)，故选A。其他选项的意思分别是：B附着，联系;C.控制;D.吸引。
68.B此题考查上下文理解。婚姻关系、父母与儿女的关系有一个共同之处：它们都有法律依据，都受到法律保护;而友谊却并非如此。故选law。
69.D此处考查固定搭配。play the role of表示“扮演……的角色”。因此，选play。
70.C此题考查上下文理解。作者历数了“市民、职员、职业社团成员”等角色后，还加上“其他的”组织机构。故选C。
71.C后文提到的warmth(温暖)、trust(信任)、love(爱)和affection(温情)都是feeling(感觉、感受)。因此，选择feelings。
72.A表示“人与人之间”用between。
73.B此题考查词义辨析。原文中Psychology指的是一份杂志，作者援用该杂志三月那一期刊登的调查报告来描述友谊。issue指“(杂志或报刊)的期”，故应选此项。
74.C此题考查词义辨析。四个选项意思分别是：A使……安全;B使确定;C确认;D解决。从文意可判断，选择C。B的用法一般是：assure sb. of sth.或assure sb. that。
75.D作者通过这个调查发现，对友谊来说，信任和背叛是判定友谊是否存在的关键。这里的central表达的是“重要、关键”的意思。
76.D此题考查固定搭配look for(寻找)。
77.A此题考查上下文理解。一般来说，应寻找与自己十分相似的人做朋友。因此，这里选择most。
78.B这里考查定语从句的关系代词。要做对此题，关键是对many的理解。此处，many是名词，指代“很多人”，后跟一定语从句，指人的关系代词则为who。译文为：读者找朋友的范围不仅局限于和自己很像的人，而且还包括不同肤色、宗教和种族背景的人。
79.A此处考查词义辨析。从数据得出的应该是“结论”，故选conclusion。其他选项意思是：B总结;C.决定;D.主张。
80.B这里考查上下文衔接。译文为：从数据中得出的最重要的结论不是我们已经发现的，而是我们尚未发现的。这和前文形成意义上的转折，选择however。

One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be airconditioned and I couldn’t face my 71 apartment. Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the 72 between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the 73 every time she leaned over to talk to him, 74 he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such 75 in a public place? I thought the movie would be good for my English, but 76 it turned out, it was an Italian movie. 77 about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and 78 on my popcorn ( 爆玉米花 ). I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 79.
After a while I heard 80 more of the romanticsounding Italians. I just heard the 81 of the popcorn crunching ( 咀嚼 ) between my teeth. My thought started to 82. I remembered when I was in South Korea (韩国 ), I 83 to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, 84 I saw him again in New York speaking 85 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent and I 86 like I had been betrayed.
When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 87 we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 88 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to 89 in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it 90 out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We’ve been speaking Korean at home ever since.
