My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.
In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon.” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”
My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece.
【小題1】The underlined words in the first paragraph “to bring her out of her shell” mean ___________.

A.to help her become less shyB.to help her become smart
C.to help her live happilyD.to help her walk out of her house
【小題2】Laura looked familiar to the writer because she ____________.
A.was Lillian’s niece
B.was as old as her daughter
C.was from Washington Heights
D.had shiny black hair and a big smile, too
【小題3】Why did the writer lose her best friend?   Because ____________________.
A.she moved to New Jersey
B.they were different from each other
C.her best friend travelled to Florida
D.her best friend lost her life on a trip
【小題4】“I knew we would be best friends forever.” is a sentence from the passage and should be put at the end of _______.
A.Paragraph 2B.Paragraph 3C.Paragraph 4D.Paragraph 5
【小題5】We can infer (推斷) from the passage that______.
A.Laura is outgoing
B.Laura helps Donna a lot
C.Laura and Donna are of the same age
D.Judy moved to New Jersey because of Lillian’s death


【小題1】A
【小題2】D
【小題3】D
【小題4】A
【小題5】A

解析【小題1】A 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. Donna是一個(gè)害羞的女孩,作者希望交新朋友能讓她從這樣的性格中走出來,即讓他不是這么害羞,故A正確。
【小題2】D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段最后一行with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.和倒數(shù)第二段最后一行Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile說明D正確。
【小題3】D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段3,4行Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more.說明D正確。
【小題4】A 推理題。這句話是表示兩個(gè)人有深刻的友誼,故應(yīng)該放在第二段我和Lillian見面以后的情景。
【小題5】A 推斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知Laura是Lillian的侄女,她們的長相和性格應(yīng)該很相似,性格也有可能很外向。故A正確。
