Question

14．Elizabeth and I are 18 now，and about to graduate．I think about our elementary-school friendship，but some memories have blurred （模糊）．What happened that day in the fifth grade when Beth suddenly stopped speaking to me？Does she know that I've been thinking about her for seven years？If only we could go back，and discover what ended our relationship．
  I have to speak with Beth．I see her sometimes，and find out school is"fine"．It's not the same．It never will be．Someone says that she's Liz now．What happened to Beth？
  I can't call her．Should I write？What if she doesn't answer me？How will I know what she's thinking？
  Yes，I'll write her a letter．These things are easier to express in writing．"Dear Be-，"no，"Dear Li-，"no，"Dear Elizabeth，"I begin．The words flow freely，as seven year old memories are reborn．I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind，and pray she will answer．I seal my thoughts in the perfect white envelope，and imagine Beth looking into her mailbox．Will she know why I'm writing？Maybe she once thought of writing the same letter．
  As the mailman takes my envelope from me forever，I wonder if I've made the right decision．Do I have the right to force myself into Beth's life again？Am I simply part of the past？I have taken the first step．Beth has control of the situation now．
  One day has passed．Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor？
  Two days are gone．I'm lost in thought and don't even hear the phone ting．
"Hello？It's Elizabeth．"

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者和Beth曾经是很好的朋友却莫名离心，作者最终说服自己给Beth写信表达自己对她的友情的珍惜并问出了心中的疑惑，而Beth最后也回了电话，想来应该会冰释前嫌．

解答 56．C．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"Someone says that she's Liz now"可知Beth现在的名字是Liz；故选C．
57．D．细节理解题．根据文章第四段"I'll write her a letter．These things are easier to express in writing"可知作者选择写信而不是打电话的方式是因为在信中表达自己的感情更加的容易；故选D．
58．B．细节理解题．根据文章第四段'The words flow freely，as seven year old memories are reborn．I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind，and pray she will answer．I seal my thoughts in the perfect white envelope，可知作者没有在信中提到自己的未来的打算；故选B．
59．A．句意推断题．根据文章第五段"I have taken the first step．Beth has control of the situation now"我已经迈出了第一步，现在是Beth控制局势，可知意思为
接下来如何做取决于Beth；故选A．
60．C．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段"Hello？It's Elizabeth"可知Beth给作者回了电话，在收到信后回电话我们可推测他们弥补了他们的友谊；故选C．
