《2025年亮点给力提优课时作业本七年级英语上册译林版》

三、(2025·南京市鼓楼区月考)阅读理解。
Twice a month, Nona Avery sits down, picks up her pen and writes a letter to her best friend. The British woman has been doing it for 77 years. She has sent more than 1,500 letters to her penfriend in America.
The hobby started in 1942. Nona, then 12, was reading a magazine. Some ads in the magazine were asking for penfriends. One of them caught Nona's eye. It was from Alice Powers. She lived in America and was also 12. “I was very excited,” Nona said. “I sat down at once, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope together with a picture of myself and posted it.”
Nona spent every day waiting for the postman. Two weeks later—which felt like a lifetime—a reply dropped through the letter box. “I was overjoyed,” Nona said. “There was a letter and a picture of my new friend. She was on the other side of the world!”
Nona and Alice wanted to learn more about each other. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common(共同点). They liked the same books and the same films.
However, both Nona and Alice were too poor to afford(负担起) a plane ticket. They didn't meet until 1987. “I was excited to see the person I had been writing to for over forty years,” Nona said.
Now in their eighties, Nona and Alice are still writing to each other. And they still write by hand. “Writing is much more intimate(亲密的), so why shall we change the habit of a lifetime?” Nona said.

答案： 1. D
2. B 【解析】根据画线词所在句的前后句可知，Nona 寄出信后经过漫长的等待才收到笔友的回信，由此可推知，当 Nona 收到回信时应该是非常高兴的。因此画线词“overjoyed”应表示“非常高兴”，即 very happy。
3. A 【解析】根据第二段中“Nona，then 12”和“It was from Alice Powers. She lived in America and was also 12.”可知，Nona 和 Alice 同岁；根据第四段最后一句“They liked the same books and the same films.”可知，她们喜欢相同的书籍和电影。
4. B 【解析】根据最后一段内容可知，Nona 和 Alice 现在都 80 多岁了，但她们还在用手写书信的方式联系，并且 Nona 认为手写书信能让人们之间的关系更为亲密，她并不打算改变这个习惯。由此可推知，她们会继续通过手写书信的方式来保持联系和交流。
