Everyone has a true friend in his life. Mary Allen was my best friend—like the 【1】 I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on 【2】 occasions(場(chǎng)合)—like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we【3】 less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to find Mary.

Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my【4】 when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.

【解析】

每個(gè)人在生命中都有一個(gè)真正的朋友。Mary Allen是我最好的朋友。我們一起做很多事情。但是當(dāng)我13歲的時(shí)候，我的家人搬走了，我和Mary只能通過(guò)寫信聯(lián)系。后來(lái)更是斷了聯(lián)系。許多年后，我在報(bào)紙上看到她，聯(lián)系了她，我們都很高興，又聯(lián)系到彼此。心中那個(gè)空缺又填滿了。

【1】句意：Mary Allen是我最好的朋友——像我從來(lái)沒(méi)有的妹妹/姐姐。

破折號(hào)后面是我上一句的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明，此句是定語(yǔ)從句，省略關(guān)系代詞，先行詞應(yīng)該為名詞或者代詞。sister意為“姐姐/妹妹”。故選C。

【2】句意：我和Mary通過(guò)寫信保持聯(lián)系，我們?cè)谝恍┨厥鈭?chǎng)合見(jiàn)面——像我的婚禮和Mary的婚禮。

此空是形容詞作定語(yǔ)修飾名詞occasions。special表示“特殊的”。故選B。

【3】句意： 很快我們忙于孩子，搬到新家，我們不經(jīng)常寫信了。

and連接兩個(gè)并列的句子，后半句缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)Mary and I kept in touch through letters…可知我們現(xiàn)在很少寫信了。write表示“寫信”，此句是一般過(guò)去時(shí)。故選A。

【4】句意：而且當(dāng)我的兄長(zhǎng)和媽媽去世的時(shí)候我需要分享我的悲傷。

my后接名詞，根據(jù)when my brother and then mother died.可知sadness是當(dāng)時(shí)的心情，意為“悲傷”。故選E。

【5】句意：一天但我正在看報(bào)紙的時(shí)候我注意到一張年輕女人的照片，看起來(lái)特別像Mary，她的姓氏是Lee——Mary婚后的名字。

此空為形容詞作定語(yǔ)修飾name，破折號(hào)后面是對(duì)她姓氏的補(bǔ)充。married表示“婚后的”。故選E。

【6】句意：她用興奮的聲音說(shuō)“Tobin夫人！”

此空是形容詞作定語(yǔ)修飾voice，根據(jù)I haven't heard from you for years!多年沒(méi)有聯(lián)系，可知他們應(yīng)該是興奮的。excited表示“興奮的”。故選B。

【7】句意：幾分鐘過(guò)后我立刻認(rèn)出了那個(gè)聲音，即使過(guò)去了40年。

此句是定語(yǔ)從句，此空為副詞修飾動(dòng)詞recognize。immediately表示“立即地”。故選A。

【8】句意：現(xiàn)在我心里空處的地方已經(jīng)填滿了。

根據(jù)There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.可知我心里一直有一個(gè)空的地方只有Mary可以填滿，當(dāng)再次聯(lián)系到Mary的時(shí)候，心里這個(gè)空處被填滿了。此處用fill的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)filled，表示“被填滿”。故選C。
