【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是一件奇怪的事情，Marie13岁的时候，因为吃了有硬币的蛋糕，突然不会说话了，医生也没有办法治疗。十几年后，Marie25岁的时候，嗓子疼，把硬币咳了出来，又会说话了。

1.根据短文的最后Marie went to a special doctor, and soon she could talk．可知，Marie因为吃下了硬币而不能说话了，医生也无能为力。但是到Marie25岁的时候，她把硬币咳嗽了出来，医生说她可以说话了。因此最后Marie会说话了。

2.根据短文第一段中It was Christmas, and Marie's mother was making a special cake．She put four small coins into the cake可知，在圣诞节的时候，Marie的妈妈做了一个特殊的蛋糕，她往蛋糕里放了四个硬币。故本题的答案为A special cake。

3.根据短文第一段中They found three coins in the cake and put them on the table．可知，吃过蛋糕后，他们发现了三个硬币。故答案为Three。
