(2)C.词义猜测题。根据第四段划线部分所在的句子For many months,our only sadness lay in our being unable to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus.(这几个月,我们唯一难过的是没能跟坐在前排的这位沉默的女性establish同样的友谊)的划线前后意思可知,我们因为没有跟这位沉默的女性建立友谊难过,所以划线词的意思应为"建立"。A.break打破;B.remember记住;C.build建立;D.ruin毁掉。故选C。
(3)A.推理判断题。根据倒数第四段When she spoke,the words escaped from her lips with difficulty.All at once we realized why she hadn't spoken to us before.Talking was hard for her.(当她讲话时,她费了好大劲才说出口。立刻我们就意识到她为什么之前不跟我们讲话的原因。对她来说讲话很困难。)可知,这位女性在车上不讲话的原因是她在表达自己方面有困难。故选A。
