二、完形填空。(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)(2025·江苏无锡东林中学期中)
I come from a broken family. My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart. However, by age 19, I left our home in Wisconsin to live on my father's horse farm in Virginia and Jeanne left Wisconsin for Chicago with Mum at 18. We lived different lives in different states, so our connection(联系) somehow(不知怎的) 1 .
About five years later, I was 24 and on a trip with my fiance(未婚夫) to New York City. We had gone to visit my fiance's cousin and see the views. During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very 2 of people. Everyone was in a hurry. I was laughing at something my fiance said, and I suddenly heard my name called from somewhere 3 me, "Cherry!" I stopped in the middle of the road. Tears 4 my eyes. I knew without doubt that it was 5 . I called back 6 even turning around to look. "Jeanne?" It was her. "Oh my God!" I cried, and began pushing people out of my way to get to her. People on the street stared at us—even by New York standards(标准), we must have seemed crazy.
I later asked how she'd known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my 7 . I wouldn't say it is all that unique but I guess it's infectious(有感染力的) among family members. It hits your 8 . She said she had come for an opera show and was there for only a week. Both our visits were planned just a week earlier, and neither of us has ever returned to New York.
We both moved back to 9 later and since then, we have never been separated(分开). I truly believe God(上帝) played a huge part in bringing us 10 . God tells us not to lose touch with loved ones. After meeting with my sister, I don't plan to let that happen again.

解析:
【分析】
这是一篇记叙类完形填空题,解题时首先通读全文梳理故事主线:一对姐妹早年分居不同城市,联系中断,多年后意外在纽约街头偶遇,之后二人回到故乡再也没有分开。做完形填空的核心方法是依托上下文语境找线索,不要孤立看单个句子选答案:每一道题都可以在前后文找到对应的提示信息,比如提到“转身回头”就能推断声音来自身后,提到作者当时正在大笑就能对应认出她的依据是笑声,结合故事的情感走向和细节提示就能逐一选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 第1空:前文提到姐妹二人在不同的州过着完全不同的生活,后文提到二人重逢后再也没有分开,说明早年二人的联系不知怎的中断了,ended表示“结束、中断”,符合语境,选A。
2. 第2空:后文提示“Everyone was in a hurry(每个人都行色匆匆)”,说明这条街上人很多、十分繁忙,busy符合语境,选D。
3. 第3空:后文提到作者“turning around to look(转身回头看)”,说明喊她名字的声音是从她身后传来的,behind表示“在…后面”,符合逻辑,选B。
4. 第4空:此处描述作者突然听到熟悉的名字时情绪激动,泪水涌上眼眶,came to my eyes是符合语境的表达,选A。
5. 第5空:后文作者回头之后确认对方是Jeanne,也就是自己的亲姐妹,所以这里她毫不怀疑喊她的是自己的姐妹Jeanne,选B。
6. 第6空:句意为“甚至还没转过身去看我就回头喊出了名字”,before表示“在…之前”,符合动作先后的逻辑,选C。
7. 第7空:前文提到作者当时正因为未婚夫说的话大笑,后文提到这个特质在家人之间很有感染力,说明Jeanne认出她的依据是她的笑声,选C。
8. 第8空:此处表达家人之间熟悉的笑声感染力很强,会直击你的内心,heart符合语境,选A。
9. 第9空:文章开头就提到姐妹二人的故乡是Wisconsin,二人早年是从这里离开的,重逢之后二人搬回了故乡威斯康星,之后再也没有分开,选A。
10. 第10空:句意为“我真的相信上帝在让我们重聚到一起这件事上起到了很大作用”,bring sb. together表示“使某人团聚”,符合故事的核心情节,选C。
