语篇分析：
本文讲述了两个人之间令人感动的友谊故事。
答案解析：
1. 句意：大卫和他的朋友们谈论他们最亲密的朋友是谁。A.朋友B.朋友（复数）C.同学D.同学（复数），后面提到了friend，说明是在讨论最亲密的朋友，各自最亲密的朋友不止一个，所以要用复数，故选B。
2. 句意：我最好的朋友是艾米，她是一个81岁住在佛罗里达州的老妇人。她是“一个”老妇人，是泛指，第一次提到，使用不定代词表示“一个”，故选 D。
3. 句意：她们的友谊来自一次比赛。A.从…B.在…下面C.到D. 在…。come from意为“来自…”，在描述友谊的缘起，故选A。
4. 句意：他几乎没有时间或金钱去玩音乐。这里是在描述过去的事情，讲述他过去“没有”…，所以使用hardly had，故选B。
5. 句意：当他几乎失去了信心的时候，他觉得他的梦想是无望的。A.在…之前B.当…C.除非…D.如果…。when引导的是时间状语从句，描述的是“当…时”，其他的连词表达的意思不合句意，故选 B。
6. 句意：两年后，他决定去纽约为了他的梦想。decide to do意为“决定去做…”，本句中是“decide to go”，故选C。
7. 句意：他想要知道艾米是什么样的。know后面引导的是“知道”的内容，是宾语从句，应该使用陈述语序，只有Amy was like是陈述语序，故选A。
8. 句意：令他惊讶的是，艾米和大卫之间的友谊比他能想象到的更美丽。A.美丽的B.美丽地C.更美丽的D.最美丽的。出现了than，要使用比较级来表示“更….”，be动词后用形容词，这里需要的是形容词beautiful的比较级，故选C。
9. 句意：后来，很多人被这个故事感动了。move有“感动”的意思，人们只能是“被感动”，所以要用被动语态，加之是在描述过去的事情，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，所以要填were moved，故选D。
10. 句意：作为朋友，我们应该在他们需要的时候伸出援手。. A.应该B.将C.禁止D.不能。这里想表达的是“应该”之意，故选 A。 点睛：宾语从句要使用陈述语序。陈述句语序：即主宾的顺序，根据引导词的不同分为主语+谓语+that从句；主语+谓语+if从句；主语+谓语+特殊疑问词从句。本篇第7题的宾语从句是what 特殊疑问词引导的，但后面也要使用陈述语序，只有Amy was like是陈述语序。
