问题     Friends play an important part in our daily lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only very few. In all the cases of friendly relationship, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of major importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
    Some friendly relationship can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests is common—they often talk about "being on the same wavelength". It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinions.
    In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that result from shared experiences and emotions seems to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background and break down barriers of age, class or race.
In Paragraph 2,"being on the same wavelength" means______.

选项 A、having the same background
B、keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do
C、having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests
D、using the same frequency while talking

答案C

解析 句意理解题。这是一句使用了暗喻修辞手法的句子,借用了电台广播中的“使用同一波长”这个专业术语。根据破折号前内容“to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common”可知这里“使用同一波长”是比喻朋友间具有共同的看法、信仰、态度和兴趣爱好。据此选C项。
