题文
I’ve often had difficulty remembering names. Proper nouns seldom found easy purchase in my brain unless I consciously repeat them over and over again. Needless to say, when people leave my life their names are often soon forgotten. This can have some embarrassing consequences.Five or six years after high school graduation, I was reading carefully the shelves of a local auto supply shop when I noticed someone familiar enter the store. I knew him. He was in my graduation class and although he was not a good friend of mine, we had shared many classes and knew each other well. I began to feel an increasing sense of foreboding（预感）and quickly hid behind the nearest shelving unit. I should have known his name. How many times had I heard it during class role call? How many conversations had we had in the hallways?
I easily remembered his surname, “Ricca”. His was a large, well know family in the town of my childhood. I couldn’t have just acknowledged him using his surname. I might as well have admitted forgetting his name, which was not a choice. One’s name is important to every person’s identity. Not remembering an old acquaintance’s name is similar to forgetting your wife’s favourite flower, an embarrassing mistake of the highest order.
I quickly ran through the alphabet (字母表), a strategy I developed for just such an occasion. Abe? No, Adam, Andy, Bob? No, Bill? Yes! Bill sounded right. Of course, his name is Bill. I confidently made my way around the shelves and spoke to him as he was studying some cans of motor oil.
“Bill, how are you doing?”, I said offering him my hand which he took with a friendly shake. We talked a bit, some amusing remarks about our college experiences and such. I took his hand again, said how good it was to see him and gave him a happy wave, calling him by name again, as I left.
I was so pleased that I avoided yet another awkward encounter(相遇) that I could feel a big smile on my face as I paid the cashier and exited the store. As I marched merrily across the parking lot, an awful thought came into my mind. John, his name is John! Where did Bill come from? Was that one of my brothers? The sudden realization of what I did made me stop in my tracks. My head dropped when I realized my mistake. There was no way Mrs. Ricca would name one of her sons “Bill”. “Billerica” was the name of a town just north of Boston.

解析
本文讲述了我经常会忘记熟人的名字，在文章中叙述了这样的一次令人尴尬的经历。
小题1:C 推理题。根据文章第二段最后I should have known his name. How many times had I heard it during class role call? How many conversations had we had in the hallways?
说明因为记不得地方的名子我很尴尬，根据第四段1,2行I quickly ran through the alphabet (字母表), a strategy I developed for just such an occasion.说明我很着急；根据第四段Yes! Bill sounded right. Of course, his name is Bill. I confidently made my way around the shelves and spoke to him as he was studying some cans of motor oil说明我确信对方的名字。根据第五段We talked a bit, some amusing remarks about our college experiences and such. I took his hand again, said how good it was to see him and gave him a happy wave, calling him by name again, as I left.说明聊了很多以前的事情，我很开心。根据最后一段John, his name is John! Where did Bill come from? Was that one of my brothers? The sudden realization of what I did made me stop in my tracks.说明我很愧疚。故C项正确。
小题2:D 细节题。根据第二段Five or six years after high school graduation和I knew him. He was in my graduation class and although he was not a good friend of mine, we had shared many classes and knew each other well. 说明这个人是我的高中同学，而不是大学同学，故D项说法是错误的。
小题3:B 推理题。根据本句I couldn’t have just acknowledged him using his surname.说明我不能用对方的姓来和他打招呼。故该词是指greet。故B正确。
小题4:A 推断题。根据文章第一段I’ve often had difficulty remembering names. Proper nouns seldom found easy purchase in my brain unless I consciously repeat them over and over again. Needless to say, when people leave my life their names are often soon forgotten. This can have some embarrassing consequences.说明作者经常忘记对方的名字。可以推理本文中所讲述的情况会经常出现。故A正确。
