问题 In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list (A、B、C、D、E、F、G……) to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are several extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. (10 points)

    In France, as in many European countries, friends generally arc of the same sex, and friendship is seen as basically a relationship between men. (41)______.
    And many French people doubt the possibility of a friendship between a man and a woman. There is also the kind of relationship within a group—men and women who have worked together for a long time, who may be very close, sharing great loyalty and warmth of feeling. They may call one another—copains—a word that in English becomes "friends" but has more the feeling of "pals" or "buddies". In French eyes this is not friendship, although two members of such a group may well be friends.
    For the French, friendship is one to-one relationship that demands a keen awareness of the other person’s intellect, temperament and particular interests. (42)______.
    Your political philosophy assumes more depth, appreciation of a play becomes sharper, taste in food or wine is enhanced, enjoyment of a sport is intensified.
    And French friendships are divided into categories. A man may play chess with a friend for thirty years without knowing his political opinion, or he may talk politics with him for a long time without knowing about his personal life. Different friends fill different niches in each person’s life. (43)______. These duties, also serious and required, are primarily for relatives. Men who are friends may meet in a cafe. Intellectual friends may meet in large groups for evenings of conversation. Working people may meet at the little bistro where they drink and talk, far from the family. (44)______.
    In the past in France, friendships of this kind seldom were open to any but intellectual women. (45)______. The special relationship of friendship is based on what the French value most on the mind, on having the same outlook, on vivid a awareness of some chosen area of life.

A. These friendships are not made part of family life. A friend is not expected to spend evenings being nice to children or courteous to a deaf grandmother.
B. A Frenchman explains, "If I were to say to you in France, ’This is my good friend’, that person would not be as close to me as someone about whom I said only, ’This is my friend.’ Anyone about whom I have to say more is really less."
C. Since most women’s lives centered on their homes, their warmest relations with other women often went back to their girlhood.
D. Marriage does not affect such friendship; wives don’t have to be taken into account.
E. Frenchwomen laugh at the idea that "women can’t be friends", but they also admit sometimes that for women "it is a different thing".
F. Between French friends, who have chosen each other for the similarity of their point of view, lively disagreement and sharpness of argument are the breath of life.
G. A friend is someone who draws out your own best qualities, with whom you sparkle and become more of whatever the friendship draws upon.

选项
答案D
解析 该题为段末句，其前几句连续讲到男人圈子中的朋友可以在咖啡馆会晤，以及知识分子圈内的朋友和工人圈中的朋友他们分别可以在晚上相聚一起或在小酒馆里喝酒聊天。可见这一切与他们结婚与否没有关系。因此D选项"婚姻不会影响朋友关系，所以交友时不必考虑妻子的情况"最合句意。
