Question

My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.
In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon.” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”
My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece.

Answer 1

【小题1】A
【小题2】D
【小题3】D
【小题4】A
【小题5】A

解析【小题1】A 猜测词义题。根据Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. Donna是一个害羞的女孩，作者希望交新朋友能让她从这样的性格中走出来，即让他不是这么害羞，故A正确。
【小题2】D 细节题。根据第二段最后一行with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.和倒数第二段最后一行Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile说明D正确。
【小题3】D 细节题。根据第三段3,4行Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more.说明D正确。
【小题4】A 推理题。这句话是表示两个人有深刻的友谊，故应该放在第二段我和Lillian见面以后的情景。
【小题5】A 推断题。根据文章最后一段可知Laura是Lillian的侄女，她们的长相和性格应该很相似，性格也有可能很外向。故A正确。
