Everyone has a true friend in his life. Mary Allen was my best friend—like the 【1】 I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on 【2】 occasions(场合)—like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we【3】 less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to find Mary.

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【4】 when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.

【解析】

每个人在生命中都有一个真正的朋友。Mary Allen是我最好的朋友。我们一起做很多事情。但是当我13岁的时候，我的家人搬走了，我和Mary只能通过写信联系。后来更是断了联系。许多年后，我在报纸上看到她，联系了她，我们都很高兴，又联系到彼此。心中那个空缺又填满了。

【1】句意：Mary Allen是我最好的朋友——像我从来没有的妹妹/姐姐。

破折号后面是我上一句的补充说明，此句是定语从句，省略关系代词，先行词应该为名词或者代词。sister意为“姐姐/妹妹”。故选C。

【2】句意：我和Mary通过写信保持联系，我们在一些特殊场合见面——像我的婚礼和Mary的婚礼。

此空是形容词作定语修饰名词occasions。special表示“特殊的”。故选B。

【3】句意： 很快我们忙于孩子，搬到新家，我们不经常写信了。

and连接两个并列的句子，后半句缺少谓语动词。根据Mary and I kept in touch through letters…可知我们现在很少写信了。write表示“写信”，此句是一般过去时。故选A。

【4】句意：而且当我的兄长和妈妈去世的时候我需要分享我的悲伤。

my后接名词，根据when my brother and then mother died.可知sadness是当时的心情，意为“悲伤”。故选E。

【5】句意：一天但我正在看报纸的时候我注意到一张年轻女人的照片，看起来特别像Mary，她的姓氏是Lee——Mary婚后的名字。

此空为形容词作定语修饰name，破折号后面是对她姓氏的补充。married表示“婚后的”。故选E。

【6】句意：她用兴奋的声音说“Tobin夫人！”

此空是形容词作定语修饰voice，根据I haven't heard from you for years!多年没有联系，可知他们应该是兴奋的。excited表示“兴奋的”。故选B。

【7】句意：几分钟过后我立刻认出了那个声音，即使过去了40年。

此句是定语从句，此空为副词修饰动词recognize。immediately表示“立即地”。故选A。

【8】句意：现在我心里空处的地方已经填满了。

根据There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.可知我心里一直有一个空的地方只有Mary可以填满，当再次联系到Mary的时候，心里这个空处被填满了。此处用fill的被动语态filled，表示“被填满”。故选C。
