答案与解析

【语篇解读】

本文是一篇说明文。有时，有一个认为自己什么都知道并总是主动提出建议的朋友会让人心烦意乱。本文给出了一些应对自认为无所不知的朋友的方法。

【答案解析】

1. E 上文提到有一个认为自己什么都知道并总是主动提出建议的朋友会让人心烦意乱，下文介绍了应对这样的朋友的方法，E项“如果你有这样一个朋友，这里有几个应对他的方法”能够承上启下。故选E。

2. F 本段主题句提到试着去理解，然后接着说也许你那位自认为无所不知的朋友这样做是有原因的，也许他自尊心不强，或者他的生活不快乐。F项“试着去理解他，理解他为什么这样做”符合该段主题。故选F。

3. C 设空处前两句提到给予一点关注是应对一个无所不知的朋友的最好的方法之一，对这个自认为无所不知的朋友所说的话表现出一定的热情，给予他足够的关注。设空处下一句提到否则这会导致他主动提出更多的建议。设空处前后呈转折关系，C项“然而，确保不要过度”能够承接上文且引出下文。故选C。

4. B 设空处下文提到这个自认为无所不知的朋友经常会说出一些有关你的不好的话，你不要因认为他的评论和建议针对自己而不悦，否则的话，你可能真的开始变得不必要的焦虑。B项“不要因认为他的评论针对自己而不悦”能够概括本段主旨。故选B。

5. G 设空处上一句提到找一个合适的时间和他谈谈，G项“你需要知道你要说什么且一定要只说友好的话”紧承上文进行说明，符合语境。故选G。
