96、根据原文第一段第一句，“For the first time in my life I have been dumped by a friend”（人生中第一次我被朋友抛弃了），再结合第二段最后一句，“In her letter she described our friendship as a borderline case and suggested it should be time we let each other go.”（在他的信中，她描述我们的友谊处于了边缘线上，早就该互相放手，让各自前行了。）可知，图拉写信建议结束他们的友谊。故选C。【44题详解】词义猜测题。根据上文句子，“
97、We are encouraged to believe that friends will be around forever. Youve got a friend, sang Carole King and Ill be there for you promised the theme tune of Friends”（我们被鼓励去相信，朋友们将会永远在身边，你有了一个朋友，我将在你身边都承诺了朋友的意义），可知，作者的思想观念中作者相信永恒的友谊，这种想法已经深入到自己的潜意识中。所以“Such sentiments ”指的是相信永恒的友谊。故选D。【45题详解】细节理解题。根据文中第
98、五段第二段，“He cautions that we place unrealistic burdens on friendship, that its unreasonable to expect friends to fulfill family members roles”（他说，我们给予了友谊很多不可实际的负担，并且期待朋友去完成家人的角色是不合情理的），可知，他认为我们对友谊期待得太多。故选A。【46题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，“things have changed. But arent we good enough friends to hang in there? S
99、ince then we have exchanged a couple of emails.”（事情发生了变化，但是难道我们不是足够好的朋友，以致于可以一直在一起吗？从那以后我们一直互相发电子邮件），可知，作者不想放弃一个朋友，所以作出努力挽救了他们的友谊，通过此事，作者认为不放手友谊其实很简单，再根据“Stay is a charming word in a friends vocabulary. 1think shes right. ”陪伴”是朋友的词汇库中最动人的词。所以引用May Alcott的话来证明她为自己与图拉的友谊所做的一切。故选B。【点睛】Section CThe New
