Question

8．We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents．In real life，however，this is not always possible．The poem Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden expresses the speaker's regret over the way the speaker，when he was young，（33）treated（treat） his father．It is only when he looks back on how he has grown up （34）thathe begins to understand his father's unselfish love．
In remembering the small things his father did （35）forhim and his family，such as lighting a fire in the morning and polishing his shoes，the speaker begins to understand an aspect of parental love that escaped （36）hisnotice in the past．
As he recalls how his father warmed the house，the speaker's coldness toward his father starts to melt away．In its place is love and gratitude．It dawns on him that love is not just hugging and kissing，or always warm and affectionate，but （37）maywell be cold and stern in appearance．In fact，mature love often requires self-discipline and self-sacrifice．
During our stressful teen years，we may find that our parents，especially our fathers，have difficulty（38）showing（show） their love for us verbally-sometimes when we need it most．This is certainly very discouraging．However，if we remember （39）to be（be） grateful or not so self-centered，we will see that their love has always been there，only （40）expressed（express） in ways different from what we may have expected．

Answer 1

分析 本文通过介绍Robert Hayden在他的诗（《那些冬季的星期天》）中所表达的情感，旨在说明如果我们记得去感恩或不那么以自我为中心的话，我们将会看到父母对我们的爱一直都在那里，只是他们表达爱的方式与我们所期待的方式不同．

解答 答案：
33．treated    考查时态    根据句意可知，"the way the speaker，when he was young，（33）treated（treat） his father．"是省略了"in+关系代词 which"的定语从句；先行词是the way；时间状语从句"when he was young"在从句中为插入语；the speaker为从句中的主语，此处在句中作谓语；根据句中的时间状语可知，此处描述的是演讲者小时候的事情，所以应使用一般过去时；故填treated
34．that     考查强调句中的连接词     本句的意思是：正是在他回顾他是如何长大的时候，他才开始理解他的父亲给予他的无私的爱；此处强调的是时间状语，故用连接词that
35．for     考查介词       本句的意思是：在他记起父亲为他和他的家人所做的那些小事的时候；此处用在him之前，意为：为了；故填介词for
36．his    考查人称代词    此处代指的是：说话者的（注意）；根据上文"he was young"可知，这里的"the speaker"应是一位男性；故填his
37．may   考查情态动词    此处表示可能性较小的推测，意为：表面上可能看起来很冷酷；故填may
38．showing   考查固定短语     固定短语have difficulty （in） doing sth，意为：做某事有困难；此处的意思是：我们可能会发现，我们的父母，尤其是我们的父亲，在我们最需要的时候，会很难用言语来表达对我们的爱；故填showing
39．to be     考查固定短语     固定短语remember to do sth．意为：记得去做某事；本句的意思是：如果我们记得去感恩或不那么以自我为中心，我们将会看到他们的爱一直都在那里；故填to be    
40．expressed    考查动词      此处省略了主语our parents，意为：他们只是以不同于我们所期望的方式那样表达着爱；根据what从句中使用了情态动词的完成时，可推测出此处表示的应是发生在过去的动作；故填expressed
