Question

That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.
“ Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said,” Hello, Karmen. I’m Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.
One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she didn’t still turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will(遺囑)， which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.
Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remembered the wonderful friendship we had.

解析試題分析：這篇短文作者主要講述了他有了一位新鄰居，是一位老人，作者經(jīng)常幫助老人并與老人解下深深的友誼和一位老人的友誼。
【小題1】根據(jù) I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine.可知，作者出來就是為了享受陽光。所以本題選C。
【小題2】根據(jù)第二段Later, I learned she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her.描述可知，沒有人來看她。所以本題選B。
【小題3】根據(jù)短文二三段描述，可知作者和這個(gè)老人相處的很好，以至于最后將財(cái)產(chǎn)都給了作者。所以本題選D。
【小題4】聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是這個(gè)老人還沒有出來開門，沒有出現(xiàn) ，故turn up是appear的意思。所以本題選A。
【小題5】根據(jù)第三段One was her will, which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.描述，所以本題選D。
