Question

【题目】“Remember, your father is only one year 【1】 (old) than you.” That was Mum’s usual excuse when Dad said the wrong things or did something 【2】 (fool).

Dad quitted drinking exactly one year before I was born. He joined a group of other people. He said they 【3】 (stop) drinking, too. I loved my dad 【4】 I hated the way his weekly meetings took him away 【5】 me. It seemed that they were more important to him than I was. But with my birthday coming up I thought Dad would make an 【6】 (except). “Can’t you miss it just this time? Saturday is my birthday!” I begged him but 【7】 (refuse). He said I am chairing the meeting this Saturday. We will have your party on Sunday.”

Saturday evening I sat on my bed, 【8】 (feel) sorry for myself. Dad started to leave, then paused and said, “Why not come with me together tonight? It’s an open meeting. All are welcome”. 【9】 would I do at a meeting? But maybe I needed to see why something Dad every week mattered so much.

After we arrived, Dad announced the theme of the meeting was going to be gratitude. He told his story about giving up smoking. Later, a man 【10】 (call) Dave also told his story. Only then did I know it was Dad that saved his life from drinking. Showing up week after week and meeting with people, Dad was changing lives. Shame washed over me.

【解析】

试题分析：考查动词名词形容词等的掌握情况

【1】older考查比较级。由后文的than可知这里用比较级，所以用 older。

【2】foolish考查形容词。此处修饰名词，所以用fool的形容词形式，所以填 foolish。

【3】had stopped考查过去完成时。根据he said可知这里用过去完成时，所以用 had stopped。

【4】but考查连词。前后文是转折关系，可以推理出这里填but。

【5】 from考查介词。take away from是固定搭配，所以用from。

【6】exception考查名词。由后文的 an可知这里填 exception。

【7】was refused考查被动。句意是我祈求他，可是遭到拒绝，所以用 was refused。

【8】feeling考查现在分词。此处现在分词做伴随状语，故用 feeling。

【9】 What考查副词。此处缺少主语，所以用what。

【10】called考查动词。意思是一个叫…的人，所以用called。
