第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

There are three different kinds of friends in our life. I classify(分类) them according to how well I know them and how well they know me.

The first type of friend is just an acquaintance(熟人). This means that you only know their names. You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. You don’t miss them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation(恼怒). Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly. I call them “pest friends”.

The second kind of friend is a “guest friend”. They are just social partners. You meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs. You don’t talk too often with this sort of friend, and you don’t share each other’s secrets. Lastly, we have “best friends”. This sort of friend is there when you need them. They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens. If you need a listening ear, they will be the one to lend support.

Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an impact on our life.

51. What is this passage mainly about?

A. What a true friend is like.

B. Three kinds of friends in our life.

C. The role that friends play in our life.

D. Why there are different kinds of friends.

52. According to the writer, when a friend of the first type acts in an annoying way, you ________.

A. can tell him/her about it directly

B. should stay away from him/her

C. may find it hard to tell him/her not to do so

D. should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior

53. Which of the following statements is WRONG about the second type of friend?

A. They are called “pest friends” by the writer.

B. They are only social partners.

C. You don’t talk very often with them.

D. You don’t s
