Unit 1 Friends and Friendship 课下练熟高考阅读理解提速练练速度(限时：20分钟)A(2017重庆七中高三模拟)I met my friend when we were in graduate school, and we enjoyed hanging out together outside of class. After receiving our degrees, we both left school to live in different states. That was 10 years ago.Weve kept in touch, but our phone conversations and twiceayear visits became opportunities for my friend to talk endlessly about her problems. When I tried to fill her in on my own life, she obviously ignored.In the past few years Ive not visited her at all and been afraid of her occasional phone calls and visits to my house. She invites herself now because I no longer invite her. When shes at my home, she literally follows me from room to room, talking nonstop, until I make an excuse to get away from her. I tell her I need to take a nap, but I dont sleep. I sit in my room and read or enjoy the quiet.Heres the worst part. She and her family, including two young children, are moving to our city. Her family has a small income, and they are buying a house in a grand neighborhood they cant afford. She asked if she and her husband and her children could stay at my home on their trips to our town to deal with house matters.My husband and I have no children. Even though our home is tiny and perfectly sized for us, I let them stay. She told me her husband would start his new job before they finished purchasing this house. I felt obligated to offer her our guest room. If I hadnt offered, she would have asked anyway.Now hes here, and it turns out hell be staying on through the weekends. I am seething (恼火的)I would never under any circumstances impose on a friendship this way. I feel used, resentful (厌恶的), and dont care if I ever see her again. Should I end this friendship? Im getting absolutely nothing from it but a knot in my stomach.语篇解读：本文为夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己和朋友之间的故事，引发读者对友谊的思考。1Every time they got in touch, the authors friend _.Ahad little to share with the authorBwas eager to know about the authors lifeCexpressed her contentment with her own lifeDshowed no interest in listening to the authors story解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“When I tried to fill her in on my own life, she obviously ignored.”可知答案。 ignore “不予理睬，忽视”。2The author is afraid of her friends phone calls and visits because _.Ashe is engaged in her own lifeBshe hates her friends nonstop talkingCher friend always borrows money from herDher friend always wants to show off before her解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“she literally follows me from room to room, talking nonstop . in my room and read or enjoy the quiet”可知，作者很烦朋友的唠唠叨叨。3We can know from the text that the author _.Ais a selfish and jealous womanBhas a larger house than her friendChas more children than her friendDis unwilling to share her house with her friend解析：选D推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“I felt obligated to offer her our guest .”可知答案。4What is the authors attitude towards their friendship?AFavorable.BAppreciative.CDissatisfied.
