答案

能力提升练

I.

1.B推理判断题。根据第一段中“Ifthesenumbersarecorrect,thenfriendshipmeansdifferent

thingsindifferentsituations.(如果这些数字是正确的，那么友谊在不同的情况下意味着不同的

东西)”可知，第一段中的数字是用来引出本文主题的。故选B项。

2.C主旨大意题。根据第二段中“therearenorulesaboutfriendship,,11Thereisnoinstruction

in...”和“Peoplehaveverydifferentopinions”可知，本段主要讲述了不同的人对友谊有不同的理

解。故选C项。

3.B细节理解题。第三段叙述了人们对友谊的“担心”,作者列举了以下几条:我们可能想和朋

友的关系更深入或更亲密;我们可能想在生活中结交更多的朋友;我们没有时间来增进友谊；

我们担心自己年纪太大而交不到朋友;我们因为搬家而为交友烦恼。故选B项。

4.A推理判断题。根据最后一段中“theneedtobearoundotherpeopleisonethatissharedby

many(与他人在一起的需求是许多人共同的需求)”可知，我们大多数人都需要有朋友。故选A

项。

5.D推理判断题。根据末段最后两句的叙述“因此，我们不应该太害怕开始与未来可能成为

我们朋友的人交谈:很可能他们也愿意与我们更亲近。记住人们说的话:陌生人是我们还没遇

见的朋友''可知，作者对与陌生人交谈持积极的态度。uninterested不感兴趣的;cautious谨慎

的;doubtful不确定的;positive积极的。故选D项。

II.

1.A“我”怀念过去和朋友一起度过时光的方式简单得像穿过走廊,或者拿起电话(phone)

说:“我有酒，我这就过来。“根据下文中的tosay…可知这里应指拿起电话(pickingupthephone)«

故选Ao

2.B"我''想念那样的状态，"我们''可以哭和笑，或者聊无关紧要的事一连聊上几个小时，因为

"我们”无处(nowhere)可去他无事可做。由togo和nothingtodo的并列关系可知选B1.

3.C即便(evenif)“我们”有处可去，有事可做，不管“我们”在做什么，笑、哭或者聊天无论如何

都重要得多。此处重点理清did指代什么,由上文可知,did相当于hadsomewheretogoand

somethingtodo,再根据上下文逻辑关系可知选C。

4.D如今，友谊让人觉得艰难(harder)得多了。由上段首句“…friendshipwaseasy.”和下文描述

的朋友相聚的困难可知，作者认为友谊在过去很容易维系，但如今变得艰难，故选D。

5.B“我们”不是带着一碗饼干穿过走廊,而是需要开车(drive)数小时或者乘飞机去相聚。由

本句中walking和boardaplane可知,这里在叙述和朋友团聚的交通方式，而设空处和“乘坐飞

机''在麻烦程度上是并列的，故选B。

6.A要承担家庭和工作的双重责任，一天中最后剩下的时间没有几分钟。根据本段的主题

(维系友谊变得艰难)可知，生活和工作的压力使留给自己的时间缩短。故选A。

7.C当“我们”夜里累到瘫在床上的时候，“我们”几乎连卸妆的精力(energy)都没有，更不用说

跟朋友打电话聊天了。故选C。

8.D“我们”几乎没有精力洗掉妆容，更不用说(letalone)打电话了。上下文属于递进的逻辑关

系，故选D»nowonder意为“难怪”,incase意为"以防万一"Jetgoof意为“放弃”，均与文意不符,

故排除。

9.D日子一天天、一周周地过去了，"我们''只通过短信(texts)和脸书更新的信息交流，而当“我

们”真正聚在一起的时候，有太多话要说,以至于“我们”甚至不知道从何谈起。这里所填词和后

面的Facebookupdates并列，故选D。

10.C“我”想要几段真实的、真正的、可靠的(solid)友谊,而不是一大群假朋友和泛泛之交。

根据该空和real,true的并列关系以及fake和casual的反义关系进行选择，故选Cosolid表

示“可靠的”。

H.B“我”想确信，无论“我们”与彼此居住(live)在步行10分钟以内的距离还是一千英里以

外,“我们”都是朋友。故选Bo由第二段开头讲的和朋友相聚需要开车几个小时或乘飞机可

知，这里指朋友间住的距离的远近。

12.A“我”想确信，无论是像过马路这样简单的事情，还是像一起计划一个女孩的周末这样具

有挑战性的(challenging)事情,“我们”都是朋友。根据该空和上文simple的反义关系进行选择,

故选Ao

13.A真正的友谊不必简单(easy);它是忠诚和信任，以及彼此相处时保持自我的能力。文章开

始作者虽然表达了对过去简单友谊的怀念，但由上一段最后一句"Iwantfriendswhoarethere

notjustwhenit'seasy,butwhenit'shard.“可知，作者其实并不是觉得简单的友谊一定好，艰难

的友谊一定不好。故选A。

14.B真正的友谊没有时间、距离(distance)和差异的限制。由上文提到的”...whetherwelive

within10minutes'walkorathousandmilesawayfromeachother.“可知，作者叙述了对于"距离”

的看法，故选B。

15.C他们了解“我们”的过去(past),因此他们会更好地了解“我们”现在的情况，并将继续成为

"我们'’未来的一部分。根据下文的present、future可知选C。
