答案： 【语篇解读】本文讲述了Jessica无偿捐献了自己的一颗肾脏挽救了David的生命的故事。
1. C 由后面“new - year”一词可知，这里指的是新年之初（beginning）。
2. B 由下文中的“... and was coming to terms with the idea of dying.”可知，David有了死亡的想法，这说明他几乎放弃了寻找捐献者的希望。
3. C 由语境可知，David患（suffering from）肾衰竭已有六年半之久。
4. C 由语境可知，恰好在这个时候，Jessica正好在想方设法来完成自己的新年愿望。因此，对David来说，他是非常幸运的。
5. B 根据上下文，Jessica和David很快取得了联系。
6. A 由下文可知，鉴于David生命中大部分时间所经历（going through）的事情，很容易理解他对这个消息是怀疑的。
7. B 根据后面的“Then his second kidney was failing.”可知，他的第二颗肾脏正在衰竭，由此可知，第一颗肾脏在他三个月大时就衰竭了（failed）。
8. A 由前文可知，David三个月大时，他的肾就衰竭了，期间他经受了很多次病痛，因此可以推断他一生中做了27次手术。

13. A 由语境可知，两人都处在手术之后的康复中。
14. D 根据上一分句“they focus on the positive fact”可知，他们都关注这个积极的事实，这说明手术取得了成功。
15. C Jessica说：“David可能是我一生的朋友。他身体中有我的一部分，所以他别无选择。”这显然是开玩笑的话。故选C项。
