Question

【题目】Mary Allen was my best friend- like the sister I ever had. We did everything together : piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters and we saw each other on special occasions- like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped “Address Unknown”.

Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sorrow when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.

One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman- Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagman. ” I thought, but I wrote to her anyway.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly. “Mary Allen Wagman ” is my mother. Minutes later I heard a voice that was recognized instantly, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each others lives.

Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And theres one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We don’t lose each other again.

试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文，写了我一个很好的朋友，我们书信联系，后来失去联系偶然从报纸上看到了一个人长得像我的朋友，并且两人相认，成为永恒的朋友。

【1】D细节理解题。由文中 I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sorrow when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.可知我需要和她分享我的故事，分享我的忧愁，填补我的空虚，可知ABC均符合题意，所以选D。

【2】C推理判断题。由 She called as soon as she got my letter. Mrs Tobin! she said excitedly.可以推理出她叫我叫的是Tobin，所以选C。

【3】C推理判断题。由文中 I heard a voice that was recognized instantly, even after 40 years我立刻认出了这个声音，即使是在40年后，可以推理出两人有40年没见了，所以选C。

【4】B主旨理解题。由文章总体可知，我和好朋友是40年后再次相见，可知我和她是再次相见并且成为永久的好朋友，所以选B符合题意。
