②根据本空后的You can always start the conversation.可知,不要等别人和你说话,你可以开始一段会话。
③根据本段中的Choosing friends with common interests is important to building friendships as these interests would always bring you and your friends together.可知,选择有共同兴趣的朋友对建立友谊很重要,因为这些兴趣会让你们走到一起,故B项符合语境。
④根据本空前的However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend.可知,尽量不要给你的新朋友打电话、发信息或拜访来催促他/她,因为这可能会让他/她疲惫不堪,最终你可能会失去你的朋友,因此你需要给你的朋友时间来回应你的友好行为,故F项符合语境。
⑤根据本空后的Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be.可知,尽量不要把他们从原来的样子变成你想要的样子,由此可见,尽量不要对你的朋友吹毛求疵。
四、答案: losing; took; significantly; enables; who/ that; the; to post; friendly; with; meaning
解析:①考查动名词。句意:如果搬到一个新的城镇意味着与你的朋友们失去联系,你会感觉怎么样? mean doing sth.意为意味着做某事,故本空应用动名词形式作宾语。
②考查时态。句意:如果从远方的朋友那里得到消息的唯一方法就是写几封需要花很长时间才送到的信会怎么样呢?本空为that引导的定语从句的谓语动词,根据主句谓语动词was可知,本空也应使用一般过去时。
③考查副词。句意:由于科技的进步,我们交朋友和与他们交流的方式发生了巨大的变化。本空修饰has changed,故应用副词形式。
④考查时态及主谓一致。句意:数字时代使我们能够找到和我们有共同兴趣的人。本句阐述的是现在的事实,且根据从句中谓语动词share可知,本空应用一般现在时;且The digital age为单数,故本空应填enables。
⑤考查定语从句。句意:不管我们的爱好是什么,互联网都能把我们和同样喜欢做这些事情的人联系起来,即使他们生活在世界的另一边。本空引导定语从句,修饰名词people,定语从句关系词在从句中作主语,指人,故本空应用关系代词who或that。
⑥考查冠词。句意参考上题。on the other side of意为在……的另一边。
⑦考查不定式。句意:在社交媒体网站上,人们往往会只发布使他们看上去快乐和友好的积极的最新消息。tend to do sth.意为往往会做某事,故本空应用不定式作宾语。
⑧考查形容词。句意参考上题。本空在句中和形容词happy—起作appear的表语,故本空应用形容词。
⑨考查介词。句意:……我们甚至可能正和罪犯分享我们的信息。share sth. with sb.意为“和某人分享某物”,故本空应用介词with。
⑩考查名词。句意:虽然科技改变了我们获得朋友的方式,但友谊的意义和我们对朋友的渴望是不变的。本空在句中作主语,根据空前介词the及空后of可知,本空应用名词形式。
