Question

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 (婚禮) 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 (分享) 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 J 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!

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是作者和最好的朋友Linda一生的友誼。作者和Linda從小一起長(zhǎng)大，后來(lái)作者搬家了，但是他們一直保持著聯(lián)系。后來(lái)他們都結(jié)婚生子，漸漸的聯(lián)系少了，到后來(lái)就完全失去了聯(lián)系。作者心里一直想著Linda，想能夠再次和她相見(jiàn)。后來(lái)作者偶然在報(bào)紙上見(jiàn)到了Linda的女兒，從而見(jiàn)到了Linda，兩個(gè)老朋友時(shí)隔多年又再次相見(jiàn)了。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第一段和第二段的開(kāi)頭We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding. When I was 13, my family moved away.可知，在作者搬家之前，她和Linda總是一起做很多事情，如上鋼琴課、看電影、游泳、騎馬等。故選D。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often.可知，從他們兩個(gè)結(jié)婚后，因?yàn)槊χ�照顧孩子，并且又搬了新家，所以他們�?xiě)信少了。故選B，他們沒(méi)有時(shí)間寫(xiě)信了。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的最后一段可知，作者多年和好朋友沒(méi)有聯(lián)系，心里一直空著一個(gè)位置，后來(lái)在Linda的女兒的幫助下，作者和Linda通了電話(huà)，兩個(gè)好朋友在時(shí)隔多年后又取得了聯(lián)系，這讓作者感到非常的高興，故選B。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的最后一段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.可知，在時(shí)隔40 年后，作者又聽(tīng)到了Linda的聲音，由此我們可以推測(cè)，他們兩人已經(jīng)大約40年沒(méi)有聯(lián)系了。故選A。

考點(diǎn)：故事類(lèi)短文閱讀。?????????????
