【解析】

1.答案　D　[此處指一封信可以被欣賞、被讀然后再被讀幾遍，其他選項不符合語境。]

2.2】答案　C　[keep a record“記錄”； keep a promise“遵守諾言”；keep a friendship“保持友誼”；keep a secret“保守秘密”。根據(jù)上下文可知此處指信件可以不很費力的就能保持兩人的友誼。]

3.3】答案　A　[give an example“舉例”；give a lesson “上課”；give an experience“給予經(jīng)驗”；give a talk“作報告”。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知此處作者給我們舉了個例子。故選A。]

4.4】答案　C　[get through “完成，打通電話”；get together“聚會”；get along “進展，相處”；get away“離開”。根據(jù)下文可知作者與他的哥哥幾年前相處地不好。故選C。]

5.5】答案　B　[根據(jù)空后面的but had grown apart可知小時候兩個人很親密。所以選B。]

6.6】答案　C　[根據(jù)后面的our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels可知此處指我們的見面都是不愉快的。故選C。]

7.7】答案　A　[句意：我們努力想消除我們之間的誤會，但每一次的努力卻加深了誤解。clear the air表示“消除(誤會、緊張、猜疑氣氛)，deepen表示“加深”。]

8.8】答案　D　[根據(jù)下文的It might never have occurred to__16__to write me if he had not been in a place where there were no__17__.可知作者的哥哥是住在了一個沒有現(xiàn)代通訊的島上。而不是去旅游。故選D。]

9.9】答案　A　[lose touch“失去聯(lián)系”；keep in touch “保持聯(lián)系”；need touch“需要聯(lián)系”；get in touch“取得聯(lián)系”。根據(jù)上下文可知作者的哥哥去了一個沒有現(xiàn)代通訊的小島，兩人失去了聯(lián)系。另外，根據(jù)下文的It also turned out to be the best way for us to get back in touch也可推知答案是A。]

10.0】答案　B　[此處指哥哥鼓勵作者給他寫信。]

11.1】答案　C　[句意：再讀這封信，信中的幽默以及聰明的表達使我感到吃驚。根據(jù)后面一句也可知作者認為他的哥哥現(xiàn)在沒有這種幽默了，而這種幽默仍在，所以作者很吃驚。]

12.2】答案　D　[once在此表示“曾經(jīng)”。指作者曾經(jīng)因為哥哥的幽默而尊敬他。]

13.3】答案　C　[此處空前面省略了I。句意：我認為他已經(jīng)不再幽默了。]

14.4】答案　A　[根據(jù)上文的Rereading the letter, I was__11__by its humor(幽默)and clever expressions.可知作者從來不知道他的哥哥會寫這么好的信。故選A。]

15.5】答案　D　[此處指我們又成為了好朋友。]

16.6】答案　D　[根據(jù)上下文可知此處指哥哥可能不會想到給我寫信。It occurred to sb to do sth表示某人突然想起做某事。]

17.7】答案　D　[句意：因為我們生活在通訊便捷的時代，人們總是記得要打電話或發(fā)電子郵件。]

18.8】答案　B　[句意：我們生活在通訊便捷的時代。]

19.9】答案　C　[根據(jù)下一句For him, writing was a necessity.以及下文的 Because we live in an age of__18__communication(通訊), people often__19__ that they don't always have to phone or email.可知哥哥住的小島上沒有電話。]

20.20】答案　C　[根據(jù)最后一句And that is to write可知作者想表達除了打電話或發(fā)電子郵件，還有一種聯(lián)系方式，那就是寫信。method 表示“方法”。]
