（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

体裁：记叙文　话题：顺便造访　词数：370　时间：7′

I recently ran into a friend I hadn't seen for a long while.Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides.Before we parted she said，“You'll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in”，I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway，staring at me，and asking，“Oh，er...what brings you here？”

Whatever happened to the unannounced drop­in visit？When I was growing up in the 1960s，it seemed that people mostly relatives，but also friends were always popping__in．My parents would put coffee on，and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it.Then the conversation would begin...The neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened.The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke.My Polish relatives arrived in packs...But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren't expecting you” or “This isn't a good time.” Drop­in visitors had a certain right of way and became No.1.

What has happened to such visits？Actually I know the answer.Times have changed.Everybody gets busy with work.There is no longer a stay­at­home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest.Booming malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment.

Just the other day a former student of mine showed up.“I'm sorry for the surprise visit.” My student began.“I just wanted to see if you still lived here.I'll only stay a minute.”

My response was immediate.“No，you won't，” I said.“Just come in，sit，have coffee，and we'll talk.”

I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza.And we had a lovely time.I have tried to keep the drop­in tradition alive though it takes some effort.

【语篇解读】　文章说明了顺便造访现象已经变得很少见，并分析了其中原因，分享了作者对此现象的一些感受。

1．The author regarded his friend's invitation—“ You'll have to drop in sometime” as ________．

A．a kind of politeness

B．an excuse of leaving

C．a nice way of refusal

D．an expression of surprise

答案　A　[推理判断题。由文中第一段第三句话“作者立刻感觉到如果自己真的顺便造访他的朋友，朋友会吓一跳，看着我问‘你有什么事么’”。可知作者的朋友并不是要邀请作者顺便造访，而是一句礼貌的回应。]

2．The underlined phrase “popping in” in the second paragraph means ________．

A．making many friends B．paying a sudden visit

C．having a good time D．making a special date

答案　B　[词义猜测题。由前文可知，popping in指的是drop­in visit，意思就是没有事先告知的突然造访，故选B。]

3．The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the author's home to ________．

A．meet new friends

B．seek comfort from my parents

C．listen to my parents' story

D．taste nice dishes

答案　B　[细节理解题。由文中第二段第五句可知“我邻居的一位女士是一个爱发愁的人，总向我妈妈倾诉她的伤心事，我妈妈安静的听着”。说明这位邻居来我家的目的是来找我妈妈寻求安慰的。]

4．From the third paragraph of the passage，we can infer that ________．

A．modern people prefer outdoor activities

B．unexpected visitors are still welcome now

C.the author misses the lost good days

D．there are more jobs for the housewives now

答案　C　[推理判断题。通读第三段，讲述的是顺便造访现象下降的原因，时代已经改变，人们都忙着工作，已经没有在家做好咖啡等待“不速之客”的妈妈了，商场正逐步取代家成为娱乐中心，再联系全文可知作者是很怀念有顺便造访的日子的。]

5．The author writes the passage intending to ________．
