【解析】

【语篇解读】人们心中都有处空地，需要友谊来填充。

【1】 Mary Allen是我最好的朋友，就＂像＂是我的姐妹。like＂像＂；as＂作为＂。

【2】 做＂任何事＂我们都在一起。

【3】 and so on＂诸如此类，等等＂，表示列举。

【4】 我们通过书信＂联系＂。keep in touch＂联系＂。

【5】在一些特殊场合，我们会＂相互见面＂。each other＂相互＂。

【6】 像我的婚礼和＂她的＂婚礼。此处横线后省略了wedding，所以填Mary’s，与前面的my对应。

【7】 很快，我们＂忙于＂照顾小孩，搬了新家，联系＂越来越少了＂。be busy with...＂忙于……＂。

【8】 less often＂不经常＂。

【9】 一天，我＂发出＂的卡片被退回。

【10】我＂不知道＂怎么找她。have no idea＂不知道＂。

【11】 我想和她＂分享＂我的孩子的故事。share＂分享，共享＂。

【12】 我的心中有处＂空间＂，需要Mary这样的朋友＂才能＂填满。由后面的fill可知，此处是empty(空的)。此处也与19空前照应。

【13】 见上题解释。

【14】 一天，我正在读报＂这时＂我看到了一张一个年轻妇女的照片。was doing...when...＂正在……这时……＂。

【15】 这名妇女看上去很像Mary。who在此引导定语从句，指代woman。

【16】 我想可能有成千上万个Wagman，但＂不管怎样＂我还是给她写了信。anyway＂不管怎样＂。

【17】 多年失去联系的好友再次联系当然是＂激动地＂。

【18】 recognize＂认出，听出＂。我立刻＂听出＂了她的声音。

【19】 此处与13空后的fill照应。fill＂填充，塞满＂。

【20】 我们两人＂确信＂我们再也不会失去联系了。for sure确信地；on purpose故意地；by chance偶然地；in a way在某种程度上。
