课时提能练(十四)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·山西省六校阶段性测试)My best friend traveled to stay with my
family last weekend.When she arrived，she went straight to the kitchen and，
without asking，ate some dried fruit.She wasn't being rude.I knew she would do
this.We've known each other for almost 20 years.She can eat anything she wants
from my kitchen.Indeed，I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that
morning.
Our long weekend together was simple.I was recovering from surgery and
couldn't go to shopping malls.We passed the time running errands(差事), but
there's never been a quiet moment．We've lived in different cities for almost a
decade.Reunions demand conversation.
Our personalities are matched，to be sure，and a shared history is indescribably
valuable.We were competitors at high school before bonding.Then we discovered
the many interests that we had in common.Our friendship developed itself
quickly.We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and
through our first jobs.Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you.They
are rare.They have seen your bright lights of achievements，the depths of desperation
and the boring routine of the inbetween.It's special to unpack feelings without
wasting time filling in the blanks.As my long weekend shows，with such friends
we don't have to ”do”，we simply have to ”be”．We drop the act，the performance，
the public version of ourselves.The special friendships are those which never fail
to delight，whose continuation is worth the extra effort，despite distance and
difference in your separate lives.I had the very great joy of this reminder last
weekend.I'm lucky to have found this friend，and to see a future where her
companionship remains.Being together is perfection.

B
(2020·长春市质量监测)An argument is an exchange of views between people
who do not agree with each other.Some arguments turn into angry quarrels.Suppose，
a friend borrowed your car and left it full of fast food rubbish.What if you dealt
with the situation this way：
YOU: Why did you leave all that trash in my car? It's an absolute mess，
and I'm tired of you always being so inconsiderate.
FRIEND：Look who's talking.You're such a slob(邋遢鬼) that I didn't think
you'd notice.
How did a minor incident turn into such an unpleasant exchange? You were
angry and feeling as though your kindness was being abused.So instead of talking
with your friend，you yelled at him.”Why did you” was a challenge.That's why
your friend immediately went on the defensive and yelled back.
Now the argument is over.In fact，you don't feel satisfied with the fact that
you've told him off！In the heat of the moment，he said something that hurts your
feelings.And perhaps you didn't really mean what you said.
How can you avoid such situations? Learn to argue in a better way.Try
something like this：
YOU: I don't like it when you leave trash in my car.It makes me feel like
you don't respect me.
FRIEND: You're right.It was very inconsiderate.I won't do it again.
4/10
Before speaking，take a deep breath and get control of your anger.The words
you use will let your friend know specifically what is bothering you and most
importantly，treat him with respect.So he will respond in the same way.
Also notice that begin the argument with the pronoun ”I”．An argument
beginning with ”You did...” is generally a challenge.What usually follows is
criticism or an insult.And it goes downhill fast from there.
Using ”I” in arguments won't eliminate all disagreements，but it can certainly
cut down on the yelling.
【语篇解读】 本文以一个例子为主线，介绍了在争论中应学会使用代词”
我”。这虽不能消除所有的分歧，但它确实可以减少争吵，使交流更顺畅。
5．How may you feel after an unpleasant argument with your friend?
A．Dissatisfied and regretful.
B．Still wanting to argue.
C．Satisfied with the yell.
D．Challenged by the argument.
A [推理判断题。根据第五段中的”you don't feel satisfied””And perhaps
you didn't really mean what you said”可推知，在与朋友发生不愉快的争论后，
你可能会不高兴并后悔。故选 A。]
6．Which can probably replace the underlined phrase ”In the heat of the
moment”？
A．When it was hot outside.
B．When the talk became exciting.
C．When the argument got emotional.
D．When your friend was warmer than ever.
C [推理判断题。根据画线部分后的”he said something that hurts your
feelings”可知，他说了一些伤害你感情的话。并结合语境可推知，画线短语的
含义与 C 项”当争论变得情绪化时”意思相符。故选 C。]
7．Which sentence might be used in an ”I” argument?
A．You are making me feel bad.
B．What's the matter with you?
5/10
C．What on earth are you telling me?
D．It makes me feel bad when hearing that.
D [推理判断题。根据第七段中的”It makes me feel like you don't respect
me.” 以及最后两段的内容可知，D 项符合题意。]
8．What is the text mainly about?
A．Winning arguments with other people.
B．Making sure that people do what you want.
C．Using the ”I” method to communicate better.
D．Avoiding having disagreement with friends.
C [主旨大意题。通读全文可知，最后一段”Using'I' in arguments...cut
down on the yelling.”为全文的中心句，并结合文章其他内容可知，本文通过
一个例子介绍了在争论中使用代词”我”会使交流更顺畅。故选 C。]
