【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者被要求写关于中年男人如何没有朋友的话题,作者迅速地整理了一下自己的朋友名单,发现作者与好朋友已经好久没有联系,后来觉得这个话题很适合自己。8.C 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Seeingthat,Icouldn’thelpthinking,‘Excuseme?Ihaveplentyoffriends.’”可知,作者第一次看到这个话题时感到惊讶、怀疑。9.C 推理判断题。由文章第一段最后一句可知,随着年龄的增长,男人会失去他们亲密的友谊,这一事实会导致各种各样的问题,并对他们的健康产生可怕的影响。由此可推断,编辑选择这个话题是想强调友谊的重要性。10.A 推理判断题。由文章第二段可知,作者很艰难地回忆起他的两个朋友,由此可推断,这真的是一个值得写的话题。11.B 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Therewereallthoseothergoodfriendswhoseemedasifthey’restillinmylifebecausewefollowoneanotherviasocialmedia”可知,作者都是通过社交媒体即互联网和朋友们相互联系。
