问题 When did I begin my genealogy research? [br]  
After the death of my grandfather, I got the genealogy bug. It started with the gathering of family photos and progressed to writing a family history. Several years ago, I took another step and began creating a Website for the Stovalls. During this initiative, I also pursued the Wallace, Cox, Raney, and other related family lines.
    One day I received an email about the Wallace line from a fellow named Ron Ritchie. Although I lived in Birmingham, Alabama, and he lived in Dallas, Texas, he had some Wallaces from the same area from which mine originated. We corresponded several times, after which he passed the baton to his daughter, Connie. She emailed me, and after six months or so, we reached the conclusion that we were not related.
    With no more data to work on, we chatted about other interests and one thing led to another. The end result? This shy Alabama-born boy found himself flying to Dallas to meet a girl. During several subsequent trips, we explored the sights, met each other’s families, and plotted our lives. In December of 1997, my genealogical penpal and I were married. Our search for roots had led instead to a fresh branch on our now combined family tree. I think it’s only fair to give our ancestors the credit!

选项 A、After we corresponded several times.
B、When we met.
C、After we were married.
D、After we corresponded for six months.

答案 D

解析 同义替换。题干:康妮和我什么时候发现我们并没有亲属关系?根据原文“She emailedme, and after six months or so,wereached the conclusionthat we were not related.”,译文为:她给我写信,在过了大约六个月之后,我们得出了结论,我们并没有亲属关系。所以选D。D选项After we corresponded for six months,是对原文的同义替换,用correspond代替了email。
