Question

Ann was my best friend. She had come to play half an hour ago, and I didn’t want her to go. “Your mother said you could stay an hour.” I said.

Ann pointed at the Teddy Bear on my desk. “I’ll stay if you give me your Teddy Bear.” she said.

I couldn’t imagine giving it to her. It was a special gift from Aunt Reba on my tenth birthday. My aunt was a beautiful and kind woman who was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, when I saw the Teddy Bear, I was filled with memories(回忆) of Aunt Reba.

“Come on,” Ann shouted, “I’m your best friend.”

I don’t know what came over me, but I really wanted someone to play with me. So I handed Ann the Teddy Bear! Then, she stayed.

That evening I went to bed without dinner. The memories of Aunt Reba brought tears to my eyes. How ashamed I felt. I was sad all night.

Alone in the dark, I asked myself, “Is Ann really my best friend?”

At school the next day, I found Ann. I asked for the Teddy Bear. She was surprised at first. Then she thought for a few seconds and finally said, “Okay, I don’t like it anyway.”

After that, Ann and I stopped playing together. Through the years, I have had other best friends. I have come to understand that best friends are people who want to spend time with you, and they ask nothing in return.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述作者与自己儿时的朋友Ann玩耍时，Ann以作者的泰迪熊作为陪作者玩耍的代价。这件事使得作者回忆起自己死去的姑姑，这个泰迪熊是姑姑送给作者的。由此作者明白了朋友的真正含义。

1.细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后一行So I handed Ann the Teddy Bear! Then, she stayed. “所以我把我的泰迪熊送给了她。然后她继续呆在这了。”可知答案，故选D。

2.推理判断题。根据文章作者对于自己的姑姑的介绍，第三段第二行The day she died, I cried for hours “她去世的那天，我哭了几个小时。”和第六段第二句话The memories of Aunt Reba brought tears to my eyes.“Reba姑姑的回忆湿润了我的眼睛。”可以推断作者对于自己姑姑深深的爱，故选C。

3.词义推测题。本句句意How ashamed I felt.“我多么惭愧啊！”作者回忆起自己的姑姑是因为她把姑姑送给自己的泰迪熊送给了她的好朋友，因此作者对于这一举动感到羞愧。故选B。

4.标题归纳题。根据文章最后一段的介绍，作者在把自己的熊要回来以后和Ann绝交了。后来也结交了一些朋友，作者明白了朋友的含义：愿意无条件不求回报的陪伴你。可知本文主要想要叙述的是好朋友的含义。故选D。
