【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。女儿Emerson喜欢给她喜欢的人们写信。有一次,
她写信给邮递员Doug表达了她的感谢,Doug的上司在美国邮政的内部通讯中分
享了Emerson的信,没想到Emerson收到了来自全国各地邮政人员的来信。
Emerson认真地给他们一一回信……

2.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“perturbed”inParagraph3probablymean?

comeasablowtoher”可知,这封信很可能没有回信,这对她来说是一个打击;再
结合语境可知,“我”很担心这种情况的发生。故画线词意为“使焦虑;使不
安”。]

片森林里迷了路。他们绕了很多圈,毫无进展。最后,父亲提议一路向前,他们

C.regretD.panic

时了,因此,他们都知道作者的母亲会很恐惧。]

森林里迷路几个小时之后,作者很容易会想到那也会是他们的命运。decide决定;

10.A.setoffB.passed
C.calledonD.lived

live生活。]
11.A.lostB.sensitive
C.angryD.stuck
答案A[lost失落的,迷失的;sensitive敏感的;angry生气的;stuck被困住的。
根据语境可知,空前的“thatstrategy”指的是作者和父亲在迷路时用的策略,所以
作者在迷路或迷惘的时候,经常会想起那个策略。]
12.A.termB.race
C.performanceD.breakdown
答案D[term学期;race比赛;performance表演;breakdown精神崩溃。本句
