试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是David从一个小村庄来到了城里。他在这里没有一个朋友，后来Cathy主动和他说话，他们最后成了好朋友。有一次，Cathy要过16岁的生日了，她想邀请David来参加她的生日聚会。但是David不知道Cathy喜欢什么礼物。他问他的妈妈，该送什么，他的妈妈说她想回到16岁。

1.句意：David是一名中学生，他在一个小村庄住了15年，那是一个只有五个家庭居住的小地方。这里的it 指代的就是David曾经居住过的小村庄。根据上下文的文意可知选C。

2.句意：但是在这里他几乎没有朋友，开始的时候他总是自己玩。根据文意可知，David本来住在一个小村庄里，后来他的父亲在城里买了房子，他们一家搬到了新家。David就来到了作者的班级。但是他在这里没有朋友，所以总是自己玩。故选Ａ。

3.句意：Cathy发现这个男孩从来不跟别人说话，就决定帮助他。David喜欢和她呆在一起，经常和她聊天，所以他们成了好朋友。根据文意可知选E。

4.句意：一天下午，Cathy告诉David：明天将是我16岁的生日，我要举行一个生日晚会，你愿意来吗？根据下句话中的I will have a birthday party可知，Cathy要过生日了。故选D。

5.句意：David回到家，想着该送给Cathy一个什么样的礼物。他很后悔忘了问Cathy喜欢什么。根据下文可知，他想问问Cathy喜欢什么礼物，但是他不知道Cathy 的号码。所以这里应该是他忘记了问Cathy喜欢什么，故选B。
