江苏省南京市第三初级中学九年级英语练习题一、任务型阅读：（南京市2010年中考英语试题）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第110小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 I once believed that a friend is a friend “all the way”. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships. 1. Friends of convenience. They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our childrens closest friends. Friends of convenience (便利) are convenient indeed. Theyll help us when we need it. They will look after our cats when we go on holiday. But we dont ever get too close or tell too much. We keep our public face and emotional distance, which means that well talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed. However, people still feel these friendships valuable to them. 2. Special-interest friends. These friendships arent deeply personal or emotional. Their value lies in some shared interest, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend. 3. Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to. The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. We have little in common now, but we are still a personal part of each others past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened, and our getting together reminds us of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost. 4. Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that form across generation (代). I have in my own life a precious (珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is wise, who listens well, and who represents not only an ideal mother to me but also the person Id like to be when I grow up. Best friends, I believe, totally love, support, and trust each other.Types of friendsDescription of friendsFriends of convenienceThey can be the _1_ or the mothers of our childrens closest friends.
