[解析]朋友在我們的生活中扮演重要的角色。大多數(shù)人希望他們的朋友永遠(yuǎn)在。他們希望友誼天長 地久。但是，即使最美好的友誼也可能會結(jié)束。當(dāng)我們的友誼結(jié)束時(shí)，最好的辦法是忘記痛苦，并努力開始去尋找新的友誼。

1. B 考查動詞及語境的理解。根據(jù)Most people hope that their friends will always be there.可知， 這里的意思是：他們希望友誼能夠永遠(yuǎn)保持下去。 但是hope的用法是hope to do,hope后不能跟 sb. /sth. to do 形式。

expect 的用法則是 expect sb./sth. to do。所以選 B.

2. A 考査連詞及語境的理解。根據(jù)前后的意思可 知，他們希望友誼能夠永遠(yuǎn)保持下去。不幸的是， 即使最好的友誼也可能會結(jié)束。所以選A.

3. C考查名詞及語境的理解。隨著時(shí)間的推移，許 多友誼會因?yàn)閭�(gè)性或者生活方式的原因的變化而 結(jié)束。友誼從有到無也是變化。所以選C.

4. B 考查動詞及語境的理解。根據(jù)The friendship was j ust over.可知，友誼慢慢地失去了重要性，最 后就消失了。選B.

5. D考査動詞及語境的理解。前面是我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己 認(rèn)為Alan成了以前的朋友。根據(jù)The friendship was just over.可知：友誼結(jié)束了，因?yàn)槲覀円娒嬖?來越少。帶人四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分析可知，選D.

6. C考査動詞短語及語境的理解。分析語境可知： 有時(shí)友誼會因?yàn)橐舛鞑缓匣蛘甙峒叶�突然中斷�?所以選C.

7. B 考査副詞及語境的理解。這里以Alice為例， 說明友誼的變化。我從城市的一邊搬到另一邊， 從那以后，我們就很少通電話，后面也說我們見面 也越來越少了。最后我們之間的友誼就結(jié)束了。 所以選B.

8. A考查動詞及語境的理解。根據(jù)全文的意思可 知，我們的友誼結(jié)束是因?yàn)槲覀儍蓚�(gè)都忙于新工 作。所以選A.
