Question

【題目】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（眼淚）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 gave 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(侄女).

試題分析：短文大意：唐娜是一個(gè)害羞的女孩，我希望她能交一些朋友不要再害羞。我自己最好的朋友，莉莉是一個(gè)在學(xué)校里最友好的人，留著烏黑發(fā)亮的頭發(fā)總是微笑。在高中時(shí)莉蓮去佛羅里達(dá)州旅行時(shí)掉進(jìn)河里喪失了生命。

【1】A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)前面的并列句Donna was a shy girl可推知本句是說，我想讓她交一些朋友而變得不太害羞，所以選A。

【2】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段末She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. 和第四段末Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”可知該選D.

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中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. 和But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more.可知該選B.

【4】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。讀短文可知“I knew we would be best friends forever.”放在第二段末最合適，所以選A.

【5】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，可知?jiǎng)诶�很外向，所以選C。
