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從小一起長大，后來作者搬家了，但是他們一直保持著聯系。后來他們都結婚生子，漸漸的聯系少了，到后來就完全失去了聯系。作者心里一直想著Linda，想能夠再次和她相見。后來作者偶然在報紙上見到了Linda的女兒，從而見到了Linda，兩個老朋友時隔多年又再次相見了。

1.細節理解題。根據文章的第一段和第二段的開頭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.細節理解題。根據文章第二段Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often.可知，從他們兩個結婚后，因為忙著照顧孩子，并且又搬了新家，所以他們寫信少了。故選B，他們沒有時間寫信了。

3.推理判斷題。根據文章的最后一段可知，作者多年和好朋友沒有聯系，心里一直空著一個位置，后來在Linda的女兒的幫助下，作者和Linda通了電話，兩個好朋友在時隔多年后又取得了聯系，這讓作者感到非常的高興，故選B。

4.細節理解題。根據文章的最后一段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，在時隔40 年后，作者又聽到了Linda的聲音，由此我們可以推測，他們兩人已經大約40年沒有聯系了。故選A。

考點：故事類短文閱讀。?????????????
