【解析】

1.1】答案　A　[句意：当母亲在2007年10月去世时，我是一个厨师。从第41个空后出现的her death及其作者丢失母亲留给她的项链时心急如焚的感受以及下文的描述可知，当时母亲已去世。]

2.2】答案　B　[句意：那年的12月，当我在为一个婚礼忙碌时，母亲留给我的珍珠项链没了，我忧心如焚。从该空后的I was distraught以及下文对于项链去向的猜测可反推此处指作者的妈妈留给她的项链没了。]

3.3】答案　D　[句意：几天后，我被“告知”那个和我们一起工作的家伙……show表现，展示；comfort安慰；persuade说服；tell告诉。由句意可知D项正确。]

4.4】答案　C　[句意：他可能拿着捡到的项链卖钱了。这句话中make a fortune的意思是“挣大钱”。根据逻辑推理，此人应该是将捡到的项链卖掉，以此来换取钱财。通过逻辑推理可知C项正确。]

5.5】答案　A　[句意：幸运的是，他把它还回来了。从上文看，作者没想到这个人还能将她的项链还给她。再次获得母亲的遗物，作者应该感到很幸运。luckily幸运地；naturally自然地；surely当然，肯定；hopefully有希望地。]

6.6】答案　A　[句意：在听说了我在母亲去世前6个月是如何照顾她的后……根据for six months before her death并结合下文他对作者提出的外出放松一下的建议来看，作者应该是照顾了母亲很长时间。nurse照顾，护理；cure治愈；miss想念，错过；guard守卫，保卫。根据上下文可知A项正确。]

7.7】答案　B　[句意：圣诞节会过得很艰难……结合上文来看，母亲的去世给作者带来了很大的伤痛。按逻辑来推，没有亲人的陪伴，圣诞节会让作者更难过。long漫长的；hard艰难的；merry欢快的； free自由的。]

8.8】答案　D　[句意：我来到了Morzaine，阿尔卑斯山区的一个很小却友善的村庄，并立刻喜欢上了它。suddenly突然；finally最终；nearly将近，接近；immediately立刻，马上。根据句意可知D项正确。]

9.9】答案　C　[句意：原本认为是权宜之计的旅行却成就了我新的生活。say说；prove证明；suppose猜测，认为，此处构成短语be supposed to，表示“被认为是”；judge判断。根据句意可知C项正确。]

10.10】答案　D　[句意：我不断往返于伦敦和这个地方，我的心情也比数月前轻松多了。由上下文可知，这次旅行医治了作者内心的伤痛，其心情也逐渐轻松起来。smart时髦的，聪明的；high高的；firm坚定的；light轻松的。]

11.11】答案　B　[句意：2008年12月，我被聘为一名旅馆经理，我也完全搬到了这里。honour纪念；hire雇用；regard把……看作；train训练。尽管四个选项均可与as搭配构成短语，但结合句意，只有B项正确。]

12.12】答案　D　[句意：我们相爱了。一开始，我并未想到要谈婚论嫁。travel 旅行；business生意；children孩子；marriage婚姻。根据上文We fell in love.及下文作者依然对母亲的去世感到悲伤可推断此处作者虽然爱保罗，却没想到要与他结婚。根据逻辑推理可知D项正确。]

13.13】答案　C　[句意：……因为失去母亲的悲痛仍然感觉很强烈。结合上文作者虽然爱保罗却并未想到要谈婚论嫁可知，失去母亲之痛仍折磨着作者。recently最近；once曾经；still仍旧，依然；firstly首先。根据句意可知C项正确。]

14.14】答案　B　[句意：保罗理解那种感觉，他从来不催促我，但到夏天的时候，我们结婚了。leave离开；push推，催促；surprise使……吃惊；interrupt打断。下文的but表明了前后语意的转折。根据句意及逻辑关系可知B项正确。]

15.15】答案　A　[句意：一年之后，我们用他的积蓄以及卖掉母亲房子的钱建了属于我们自己的旅馆。hotel旅馆；restaurant饭店；home家；shop商店。]

16.16】答案　A　[句意：我们想给我们的客人家的感觉，所以每个房间都是以我们生活中的回忆为主题的。homely家庭的；lively精力充沛的；motherly母亲般的；friendly友好的。根据句意可知A项正确。]

17.17】答案　B　[句意：也有一些房间的风格让我想起了我的母亲——其中一个房间里就摆放了母亲卧室里曾摆放过的一把小椅子。ought to应该；used to过去常常；might可能；could可能，能够。根据句意可知B项正确。]

18.18】答案　D　[句意：现在我们生活得非常好，母亲很自然地能感受到这些。feel此处与part of搭配，字面意思表示“感受到其中的一部分”。take拿，取；keep保留；look看，均不符合句意。根据语境可知D项正确。]

19.19】答案　C　[句意：……因为如果没有她给我的项链，我们不可能来到这里。unless除非；while当……时候；because因为；though虽然；根据上下文逻辑关系及语意可知C项正确。]

20.20】答案　D　[根据该句中的定语从句she gave me并结合上文可知，此处作者指的是母亲送给她的项链。]
