12.Linda Evans was my best friend-like the sister I never had.We did everything together:piano lessons,movies,swimming,horseback riding.When I was 13,my family moved away.Linda and I kept in touch through letters,and we saw each other on special time-like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda'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 (地址) Unknown."I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years,I missed Linda very much.I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren.And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died.There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman-Linda's married name."There must be thousands of Wagmans,"I thought,but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter."Mrs Tobin!"she said excitedly,"Linda Evans Wagman is my mother."
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much,even after 40 years,laughed and cried and caught up on each other's lives.Now the empty place in my heart is filled.And there's one thing that Linda and I know for sure:We won't lose each other again!

分析 这篇短文讲述的是作者和最好的朋友Linda一生的友谊.作者和Linda从小一起长大,后来作者搬家了,但是他们一直保持着联系.后来他们都结婚生子,渐渐的联系少了,到后来就完全失去了联系.作者心里一直想着Linda,想能够再次和她相见.后来作者偶然在报纸上见到了Linda的女儿,从而见到了Linda,两个老朋友时隔多年又再次相见了.
解答 21.D.细节理解题.开始的时候作者与Linda总是一起去上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等,但后来在作者13岁的时候,作者一家搬走了,两人只能通过书信联系.比较四个选项,显然只能选D.
22.B.细节理解题.根据文章第2段中的Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes,and we wrote less often 根据文可知,她们之所以没经常写信,是因为她们要忙于照顾孩子,又要搬新家,也就是说,她们没有时间写信;故选B.
23.D.细节理解题.根据文章第3段内容There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill可知作者心灵空虚是因为没有linda那样的朋友,故选D.
24.B.推理判断题.真正让作者感到高兴的是当她在电话上听到老朋友Linda的声音的时候.而读到报纸的时候和写信的时候都还只是在猜测,那时还谈不上高兴;故选B.
25.A.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段中的Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much,even after 40 years…可知,在时隔40 年后,作者又听到了Linda的声音,由此我们可以推测,他们两人已经大约40年没有联系了.故选A.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
