答案能力提升练Ⅰ.1.B推理判断题。根据第一段中“Ifthesenumbersarecorrect,thenfriendshipmeansdifferentthingsindifferentsituations.(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”“Thereisnoinstructionin...”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“theneedtobearoundotherpeopleisonethatissharedbymany(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A。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,也无事可做。由togo和nothingtodo的并列关系可知选B。

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hadsomewheretogoandsomethingtodo,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”,letgoof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C。solid表示“可靠的”。11.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B。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A。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“Iwantfriendswhoaretherenotjustwhenit’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“...whetherwelivewithin10minutes’walkorathousandmilesawayfromeachother.”可知,作
