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 (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!

试题分析: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。
小题1:细节理解题。根据文章的第一段和第二段的开头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总是一起做很多事情,如上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等。故选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第二段Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often.可知,从他们两个结婚后,因为忙着照顾孩子,并且又搬了新家,所以他们写信少了。故选B,他们没有时间写信了。
小题3:推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段可知,作者多年和好朋友没有联系,心里一直空着一个位置,后来在Linda的女儿的帮助下,作者和Linda通了电话,两个好朋友在时隔多年后又取得了联系,这让作者感到非常的高兴,故选B。
小题4:细节理解题。根据文章的最后一段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。

There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”

One day, early in the morning on my way to work, I saw a little girl carrying a small Cambridge schoolbag. I could imagine that she must be proud of her schoolbag. The bag is designed for students, which can hold a lot of things, such as textbooks, pens and pencils, snacks and water! Students just carry it on their shoulders, and it is easy for them. I was really amazed by the wisdom of businessmen.
I remembered I had a green cloth bag, which was very rough, but strong. At that time I was short, so my mom made the bag rope shorter. After eating all the meals prepared by my mother, I said to her, “I will go to school now. Bye!” I ran to school with my classmates. At that time, this schoolbag was so light. When I jumped, it jumped. All things in this bag had a collision (碰撞.. They gave out cheerful sounds all the way along. At the time I was so happy.

As I grew older, the schoolbag became heavier and heavier. My green schoolbag could not be used any longer. The bag was worn down, the mouth was opened, and finally it came to an end. My mother bought me another bag, and it was very big. I liked the Mickey Mouse pattern. The bag had a few pockets and both sides of the bag could carry a bottle. It was convenient! I was happy to go out every day with the new bag. Five or six miles of the trip to school seemed as if it were a few steps away. That year I was 12 years old. Though my first schoolbag wasn’t made in the UK, and it was made by my mother herself, it was still a real Cambridge schoolbag in my mind.
