【解析】

1.1】答案　A　[句意：當母親在2007年10月去世時，我是一個廚師。從第41個空后出現的her death及其作者丟失母親留給她的項鏈時心急如焚的感受以及下文的描述可知，當時母親已去世。]

2.2】答案　B　[句意：那年的12月，當我在為一個婚禮忙碌時，母親留給我的珍珠項鏈沒了，我憂心如焚。從該空后的I was distraught以及下文對于項鏈去向的猜測可反推此處指作者的媽媽留給她的項鏈沒了。]

3.3】答案　D　[句意：幾天后，我被“告知”那個和我們一起工作的家伙……show表現，展示；comfort安慰；persuade說服；tell告訴。由句意可知D項正確。]

4.4】答案　C　[句意：他可能拿著撿到的項鏈賣錢了。這句話中make a fortune的意思是“掙大錢”。根據邏輯推理，此人應該是將撿到的項鏈賣掉，以此來換取錢財。通過邏輯推理可知C項正確。]

5.5】答案　A　[句意：幸運的是，他把它還回來了。從上文看，作者沒想到這個人還能將她的項鏈還給她。再次獲得母親的遺物，作者應該感到很幸運。luckily幸運地；naturally自然地；surely當然，肯定；hopefully有希望地。]

6.6】答案　A　[句意：在聽說了我在母親去世前6個月是如何照顧她的后……根據for six months before her death并結合下文他對作者提出的外出放松一下的建議來看，作者應該是照顧了母親很長時間。nurse照顧，護理；cure治愈；miss想念，錯過；guard守衛，保衛。根據上下文可知A項正確。]

7.7】答案　B　[句意：圣誕節會過得很艱難……結合上文來看，母親的去世給作者帶來了很大的傷痛。按邏輯來推，沒有親人的陪伴，圣誕節會讓作者更難過。long漫長的；hard艱難的；merry歡快的； free自由的。]

8.8】答案　D　[句意：我來到了Morzaine，阿爾卑斯山區的一個很小卻友善的村莊，并立刻喜歡上了它。suddenly突然；finally最終；nearly將近，接近；immediately立刻，馬上。根據句意可知D項正確。]

9.9】答案　C　[句意：原本認為是權宜之計的旅行卻成就了我新的生活。say說；prove證明；suppose猜測，認為，此處構成短語be supposed to，表示“被認為是”；judge判斷。根據句意可知C項正確。]

10.10】答案　D　[句意：我不斷往返于倫敦和這個地方，我的心情也比數月前輕松多了。由上下文可知，這次旅行醫治了作者內心的傷痛，其心情也逐漸輕松起來。smart時髦的，聰明的；high高的；firm堅定的；light輕松的。]

11.11】答案　B　[句意：2008年12月，我被聘為一名旅館經理，我也完全搬到了這里。honour紀念；hire雇用；regard把……看作；train訓練。盡管四個選項均可與as搭配構成短語，但結合句意，只有B項正確。]

12.12】答案　D　[句意：我們相愛了。一開始，我并未想到要談婚論嫁。travel 旅行；business生意；children孩子；marriage婚姻。根據上文We fell in love.及下文作者依然對母親的去世感到悲傷可推斷此處作者雖然愛保羅，卻沒想到要與他結婚。根據邏輯推理可知D項正確。]

13.13】答案　C　[句意：……因為失去母親的悲痛仍然感覺很強烈。結合上文作者雖然愛保羅卻并未想到要談婚論嫁可知，失去母親之痛仍折磨著作者。recently最近；once曾經；still仍舊，依然；firstly首先。根據句意可知C項正確。]

14.14】答案　B　[句意：保羅理解那種感覺，他從來不催促我，但到夏天的時候，我們結婚了。leave離開；push推，催促；surprise使……吃驚；interrupt打斷。下文的but表明了前后語意的轉折。根據句意及邏輯關系可知B項正確。]

15.15】答案　A　[句意：一年之后，我們用他的積蓄以及賣掉母親房子的錢建了屬于我們自己的旅館。hotel旅館；restaurant飯店；home家；shop商店。]

16.16】答案　A　[句意：我們想給我們的客人家的感覺，所以每個房間都是以我們生活中的回憶為主題的。homely家庭的；lively精力充沛的；motherly母親般的；friendly友好的。根據句意可知A項正確。]

17.17】答案　B　[句意：也有一些房間的風格讓我想起了我的母親——其中一個房間里就擺放了母親臥室里曾擺放過的一把小椅子。ought to應該；used to過去常常；might可能；could可能，能夠。根據句意可知B項正確。]

18.18】答案　D　[句意：現在我們生活得非常好，母親很自然地能感受到這些。feel此處與part of搭配，字面意思表示“感受到其中的一部分”。take拿，取；keep保留；look看，均不符合句意。根據語境可知D項正確。]

19.19】答案　C　[句意：……因為如果沒有她給我的項鏈，我們不可能來到這里。unless除非；while當……時候；because因為；though雖然；根據上下文邏輯關系及語意可知C項正確。]

20.20】答案　D　[根據該句中的定語從句she gave me并結合上文可知，此處作者指的是母親送給她的項鏈。]
