B.DeepdiscussionC.Socialinteraction D.Closefriendship【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据Anysortofsocialbondingincreasesoxytocinlevels–itdoesn’thavetobeadeepdiscussion.可知选C。34.WhatdoesthewritertrytoexpressinParagraph5?A.Menliketowalksidebysidewiththeirfriends.B.Womenprefertositfacetofacetohaveachatwithfriends.C.Mendon’tcareabouttheirfriends’marriageasmuchaswomen.D.Menhavelessdesiretomunicatetheiremotionswithfriends.【答案】C【解析】判断推理题。第五段主要讲男性友谊和女性友谊的区别。根据第五段的描述及举例，可知男性的友谊不像女性那么黏糊。D选项更具有概括性，而A，B，C都是小细节。且A选项把“shouldertoshoulder”误解为是walksidebyside.35.Bromanceshavethefollowingbenefitsexcept_____.A.avoidinggettingdivorced B.reducingstresslevels C.preventingheartdisease D.smokingordrinkingless【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。这篇文章讲的是友谊的用途，A选项避免离婚明显与友谊无关。而B，C，D根据最后一段Manystudiesshowthatfriendshipsnotonlyrelievestressbutalsoreducedeathfrommanycauses,includingheartdisease.Also,menwithfriendsarelesslikelytodrinkandsmoketoomuch.都有提到，所以选A。二、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。AsateacherlivinginBristol,Iearnedenoughtogetby.IspentwhateverIwantedwithoutathoughtforthefuture.Mywardrobe(衣柜)wasfilledwithclothesIneverwore.36ThenonedayIlearnedaboutanAmericanladywhohadlivedon“justnecessities”forayear.Itwasaninspirationforme.37SoImadeadecision—Iwouldsurviveonanaverageof￡1adayforawholeyear.Iquicklybecameinterestedinfoodbargainsandwellacquaintedwiththediscountshelfinthesupermarket.Eatinghealthilyonsolittlemoneywasharder,butnotimpossible.Ibecameanexpertatmakingperishables(容易腐坏的东西)last：storingredcabbagesinthedarksotheykeptlonger;mixingleft­overvegetablesintosoup.38Ontopofthis，Ievenorganizedclothesswappartieswithmyfriends.Ofcourse,lookingback，therewerecountlesstimesIwantedtoputmyheadinmyhandsandweep.Butoverthecourseoftheyear,Ilearnedsomuchaboutmyselfandothers.IrealizedhowmuchIwaswastingandindeedhowmuchwewasteasanation.39Thenthere'sthemoneyonshoesweneverwear,booksweneverreadandcoffeeswebuybecausewecan'tthinkwhatelsetodo.Somanypeople—likemyformerself—areconstantlyindebt,livingbeyondtheirmeans.40Butifwecouldopenoureyeswe'dseethereisadifferentandmoresatisfyingwaytolive.A．Imadeuseofeverything.B．Foodsoonbecameaworry.C．Theywerelitteredwithdirtytins.D．Myfridgewasfullofout­of­datefood.E．Moneyrulesourliveswithoutusrealizingit.F．Britainth
