问题     Mark Clements, 53, a garageman, had long and untidy hair. Laura Shira, 43, who gives haircuts, needed car repairs. Rather than【36】for service, the two residents helped each other. A typical small-town favor, right? No, the two didn’t know each other. They【37】the Neighborhood Service Exchange (NSE), where members【38】their skills.

选项 A、effective
B、urgent
C、truly
D、friendly

答案D

解析 本题从语篇层面考查形容词辨析。根据上下文可以看出选项A.effective代入原句所表达的意义不明确;选项B.urgent意为“紧急的”,不适合描述一名中风的老人打电活时的情景;选项C.truly意为“真诚地”,是副词,是主要为配合选项D词形上的特点而设置的干扰项;选项D.friendly意为“友好的”,与后面提到的“fast friends”密切相关。因此选项D为正确答案。
