【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者在丈夫突然去世正悲伤的时候,收到朋友的信。朋友也有着丧夫
的遭遇,当时得到了作者妈妈的安慰,现在朋友又把作者妈妈安慰自己的话传给了她。
1根据下文的letters,cards,flowers,calls,and visits可知是作者的丈夫突然去世后,她收到了这些表示哀悼的东西。receive“收到”,符合文意。
2 took a bad knock意为“受到经济或感情上的严重打击”。她丈夫去世,她应该是“悲痛”(grief)。
3从the whys and hows可知此处应该是understand,意思是作者想弄明白这些不幸的事情为什么,怎么会发生在自己家。
4结合上一句想弄明白“问题”,这里应该是问题的答案answers。作者得不到答案,只有悲伤。
5由下文和deeply可知,是有一封短信打动了作者,所以用touch表示“打动”。impress使……有印象,影响;appreciate欣赏,赞赏;affect影响,这三项都不符合语境。
6从through high school可知是在上学时的朋友,用grade表示“年级”。这里指从六年级开始到高中一直是好朋友。
7句中谓语动词drifted表示“漂流,漂泊”,说明两人在“毕业”(graduation)以后分开了,去了不同的地方。
8通过语境可以判断,该处缺少表转折关系的连词,A、B意思不符合语意,however常和逗号连用,故应选C项。
9由上文可知,这里应是“失去联系”,所以用lost和touch组成短语。
10此处是动词的-ing形式作结果状语,leaving在此处意为“使处于某种状态”,符合上下文语境。
11从下文的finding a job and raising three young children可以判断,这些都是她的责任,所以用responsibilities。
12她和Pete的关系就像我和Bob的关系一样。like作介词用表示“像……一样”。including是“包括”的意思;as well as作介词时,含义是“还,也”;except for表示部分与整体的关系,表示“除了……之外”,用于非同类事物的排除。
13这里表示的是夫妻之间挚爱至深,用relationships。contact接触;background背景;interest兴趣。
14根据上下文分析,此处表示她在信中把“我”妈妈对她做的一件事写出来与“我”分享,所以用share。
15在西方如果是初次见面的话,接吻(kiss)、拥抱(hug)都可以,但此处作者的妈妈是在安慰作者的朋友,所以用hug更合适。
16上文已提到妈妈很久以前就去世了,所以这里引用的也是妈妈很久以前说的话。
17我感到我现在几乎能听到妈妈对我说话了,用could。
18用powerful“强有力的,很有效的”,符合语境。
19我的朋友将它珍藏了这么多年,此时又将它传递给我。pass sth.on to sb.“把某物传递给某人”,符合语境。
20作者赞赏、感叹妈妈说给朋友,朋友又传给自己的这句话。“I love you”是多么完美的语言。unnecessary不必要的;curious好奇的;abstract抽象的,都不符合语境。
