答案

能力提升练

I.l.a考查冠词。此处指“他们开始聊天"。haveachat意为“聊天”。

2.finest考查形容词的比较等级。此处指“这个男子谈到他最好的朋友、最好的家伙根据

前面的best及and体现的并列关系可知，此处应用形容词最高级，故填finest»

3.dined考查时态。dine为此句谓语动词，意为"吃饭”，由时间状语Onenighttwentyyearsago

可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填dined。

4.Tomake考查不定式。句意:为了发财，他要动身前往西部，而吉米・韦尔斯留在纽约。此处

作状语，表示目的，应用不定式，故填Tomakeo

5.while考查连词。句意同上。设空处表示对此，故填while“而，然而”。

6.1t考查强调句型。分析句子可知，此处构成强调句式，即“Itwas+被强调部分+that+其他部

分此处强调时间状语onthatnight,故填It。句意:就在那天晚上，他们商定了二十年后见面

的时间和地点……。

7.distance考查名词。此处表示“他们可能会从多远的地方来”，由设空处前的fromwhat可知,

应用名词形式，故填distance«

8.with考查介词。correspondwithsb.意为“与某人通信”。

9.confidently考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词thought,应用副词形式，故填confidently。

lO.miles考查名词的数。此处表示“他千里迢迢赶来见他”。根据修饰语athousand可知此

处应用名词的复数，故填miles。

II.A

1.D细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Knowingitwouldbedifficultforhertomanagethings

withoutanyhelp,Istarteddroppingby.”可知,作者开始拜访Hingorani是因为她认为Hingorani

独立应对生活中的琐事很艰难，想帮她的邻居一把，故选D。

2.A细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Ifoundthatsherelatedtomeinalotofways—bothofus

marriedofourownfreewill,andshe,too,wasaworkingmother.（我发现她和我在很多方面都

很投契，我们都是自愿结婚的，她也是一个职业母亲。）”可知,通过和Hingorani交谈，作者意识

到她们有很多共同之处，故选Ao

3.C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She,too,lovesmycompany（她也喜欢和我在一起）”

及最后一段中的“Hingoranihasbecomepartofmydailylife.（Hingorani已经成为我日常生活的

一部分。）”可知，作者喜欢和Hingorani在一起，故选C。

4.A主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段中的“Ourfriendshipisnotlimitedbyage.（我

们的友谊不受年龄的限制。）“可知，本文主要讲述了作者与丧偶邻居Hingorani结下的一段超

越年龄的友谊，故A项“我找到了一个超越年龄的好朋友”可以作为本文最佳标题。

B

5.C推理判断题。第一段阐述了一种社会现象，作者用13岁的Kaylee有很多网上好友的事

例来引入，其目的是提出一个话题，从而引出下文针对这个话题的讨论。故选C。

6.B词义猜测题。根据画线部分前“Duringyourparents'childhoods...”和画线部分后“Kids

playedScrabblearoundatable,notWordsWithFriendsontheirphones.”可推知，在你父母的童

年时期，与朋友相处通常意味着亲自花时间与他们在一起。孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不

是在手机上玩WordsWithFriends<>由此可以推断出，画线部分intheflesh意为“亲自",故选B。

A项“不管怎样,无论如何”、C项“匆忙”和D项“提前”均不符合题意。

7.A推理判断题。根据题干关键词Katie定位第五段。由第五段中的“Infact,inmany

ways...witheachother”可知,事实上，在很多方面，在线交流可以使朋友关系更加牢固,Katie认

为，这绝对有积极的影响。孩子们可以经常保持联系，这意味着他们可以和彼此分享更多的感

受。因此Katie对在网上交流持乐观
