A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life."_26_ teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily _27_.
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for_28_friendship to _29_. However, there can be_30_disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have it clear in our _31_ what kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _32_ at arm's length? Do we want to _33_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _34_enough—and that' s all right. But at some point we need to 35 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of_36_experience _37_ our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it _38_be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are _39_of interest and action in return.
What are some of the _40_of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships _41_time. Another “major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships _42_ actions in return. In 43 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _44_time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die _45_.

【解析】
本文主要讲述 Ed 的身材变化及他和“我”之间的一场结果出乎意料的网球比赛。(from
1. C。根据下文描述的比赛过程和结果可知此题选 C 最佳。
2. D。根据语境和 we play 中的动词时态可知，此题应填 D，因为动词 suggest(建议)后的宾语从句通常用“should+动词原形”(should可省略)。
3. C。根据前句说的 I laughed quietly，可推知这应该“是一场很容易(easy)打赢的比赛”。
4. A。比较四个选项，只有 exercise 与比赛、锻炼之类的活动有点联系。
5. D。此处的语境是(注意作者对 Ed 在体力方面的轻视)：Ed 关于 exercise 的想法只不过就像把叉子送到嘴里一样不费力。effort-making 由 make an effort 变来，其意为“费劲”；nothing more than 是习语，意为“不多于”、“与…一样”。
6. B。as long as 有两个意思是：一是作为习语，表示“只要”；二是表示作为自由短语，意为“与…一样长或一样久”。此处的as long as 用作自由短语，as long as I can remember 意为“与我能记忆的一样久”，即“在我的记忆中”或“凭我的记忆”。
7. A。虽然 Ed 体力状况在一家人中最差，但却莫名其妙(strangely)地为自己感到骄傲。
8. D。由于 Ed 太胖，他的肚子就像一只气球，所以家人经常就此开他的玩笑(joke about that)。
9. B。上文讲到 His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers(他的大肚子总是像一只气球一样突出在汗衫与长裤之间)，这说明他的 T-shirt 不够大。
10. C。Ed 身材的变化应是在他到来(arrived)之际才能发现。
11. A。此句主要是描述 Ed 身材的变化之大：他的衬衣扎在裤子里，肚子几乎让人看不出来(a stomach you could hardly notice)。
12. D。这里指 Ed 身材变化如此之大，简直令作者惊讶得说不出话来(speechless)。
13. B。因后面的内容讲的正是 Ed 因改变体形而在比赛中曾一度领先的结果，故选 as a result。
14. C。作者原认为会9:1自己领先，而结果却是7:9，故用 instead 表示后者取代了前者。
15. A。下文说 The sudden realization was painful，说明比赛的结果不是像作者的那样自己领先，而是 Ed 领先。
16. C。前面讲比分为 7 to 9，而后面又说比分达到16平，这说明比赛在继续(continued)。
17. B。此处的语境是：当比分达到16平时，我便怀疑自己能否活到21岁——这充分说明比赛的激烈程度以及作者的疲惫程度。
18. A。let alone scoring that many points 的意思“更不用说还要得那么多分”，其中的 that 为副词，相当于 so。
19. D。上文说“当比赛结束的时候，我们俩人平躺在地上”，同时比较四个选项，只有 move 最合语境，即“累得动都不能动”。
20. B。这两句为省略句，其完整形式为：I won the game, but cousin Ed won my respect.
