23、tters，cards，flowers，calls，andvisits可知是作者的丈夫突然去世后，她收到了这些表示哀悼的东西。receive收到，符合文意。答案：A2解析：tookabadknock受到经济或感情上的严重打击。她丈夫去世，她应该是“悲痛”(grief)。答案：C3解析：从thewhysandhows可知此处应该是understand，意思是作者想弄明白这些不幸的事情为什么，怎么会发生在自己家。答案：D4解析：结合上一句想弄明白“问题”，这里应该是问题的答案answers。作者得不到答案，只有悲伤。答案：A5解析：由下文和deeply可知，是有一封短信打动了作者，所以用touch

24、表示“打动”。impress“使有印象，影响”，appreciate欣赏，赞赏，affect影响，这三项都不符合语境。答案：B6解析：从throughhighschool可知是在上学时的朋友，用grade表示“年级”。这里指从六年级开始到高中一直是好朋友。答案：A7解析：句中谓语动词drifted表示“漂流，漂泊”，说明两人在“毕业”(graduation)以后分开了，去了不同的地方。答案：B8解析：通过语境可以判断，该处缺少表转折关系的连词，A、B意思不符合语意，however常和逗号连用，故应选C项。答案：C9解析：由上文可知，这里应是“失去联系”，所以用lost和touch组成短语。答案

25、：B10解析：此处是动词的­ing形式作结果状语，leaving在此处意为“使处于某种状态”，符合上下文语境。答案：D11解析：从下文的findingajobandraisingthreeyoungchildren可以判断，这些都是她的责任，所以用responsibilities。答案：B12解析：她和Pete的关系就像我和Bob的关系一样。like作介词用表示“像一样”。including是“包括”的意思；aswellas作介词时，含义是“还，也”；exceptfor表示部分与整体的关系，表示“除了之外”，用于非同类事物的排除。答案：C13解析：这里表示的是夫妻之间挚爱至深，用relationships。contact接触，background背景，interest兴趣。答案：D14解析：根据上下文分析，此处表示她在信中把“我”妈妈对她做的一件事写出来与”我”分享，所以用share。答案：A15解析：在西方如果是初次见面的话，接吻(kiss)、拥抱(hug)都可以，但此处作者的妈妈是在安慰作者的朋友，所以用hug更合适。答案：C16解析：上文已提到妈妈很久以前就去世了，所以这里引用的也是妈妈很久以前说的话。答案：D1
