18.My friend,Emma Daniels,spent the summer of 1974traveling in Israel.During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup.It was run by two men,one of whom-Alex-used to live in Montreal.One morning when Emma went in for coffee,while chatting with her new friend Alex,she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read.Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like,and that he'd be happy to lend it to her.As he lived just above the café,he quickly ran up to get it.The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings,a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).
Emma had never read it,nor had she ever bought a copy.But,when she opened it up,she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting.It turned out that the summer before,at a concert back in Montreal,Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends.They decided to exchange addresses,but neither of them had any paper.The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside.When he returned to California,he left the book behind in Montreal,and his friend Alex kept it.When Alex later moved to Jerusalem,he took the book along.

分析 本文讲述了发生在作者的朋友Emma Daniels身上的一件很巧合的事情.Emma呆在耶路撒冷期间,她的新朋友Alex借给Emma一本书,Emma 打开一看竟吃惊的发现自己的名字和地址写在书上,原来去年夏天Emma遇到一个加利福尼亚的新朋友在交换地址时让Emma把地址写在书上,然后又把书落在Montreal被Alex保存起来了.
解答 61.A.细节理解题.根据第一段"Alex saidhe had a wonderful book she might like,and he'd be happy to lend it to her"可知这本书是Alex主动借给Emma 的,为了表达友情;故选A.
62.D.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"But,when sheopened it up,she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover,in her own handwriting",可知floored 的意思是十分吃惊的,选项中surprise意思最接近;故选D.
63.A.细节理解题.根据第二段"It turnedout that the summer before,at a concert back in Montreal,Emma had met aCalifornian who was in town visiting friends."可知theCalifornian是在音乐会上遇见Emma的;故选A.
64.D.推理判断题.根据短文可知去年夏天TheCalifornian在交换地址时让Emma把地址写在书上,然后又把书落在Montreal被Alex保存起来了,所以书的最早主人是theCalifornian;故选D.
