【小题17】C

【小题18】A

【小题19】B

【小题20】A

解析:

【小题1】从下文作者提议进行棋赛，可知“女儿一直不停地邀请我和她下棋”。

【小题2】接受“窝”的建议，用accept。

【小题3】从下文“女儿睡觉要到了”可知“女儿问我是否可以把棋子走快一点”。

【小题4】need to do需要做某事，从上文的at nine o’clock和下文的she had to get up at six in the morning.可知她需要早起。

【小题5】know知道，清楚。Learn学会，了解到（从别人那里间接知道）

【小题6】从上下文可知语意在此转折。女儿需要睡觉了，可“我”却认为女儿能否改变一下这些严格的作息时间。

【小题7】put up挂起；take up从事，占据；pick up捡起，拾起；give up放弃。

【小题8】as usual像往常一样；go ahead开始做，着手干； by the way顺便问一下；come on加把劲，加油，得了吧。只有come on符合语境，因为他们玩得正高兴，“我”不希望这么早就结束比赛，希望女儿再呆一会儿，和自己多下几局。

【小题9】从上文要求女儿再多呆一会儿可知“因为正在兴头上”，不愿结束比赛。We’re having fun我们玩得正高兴。

【小题10】“我”要求女儿多呆一会儿以陪自己多下几局棋，耽搁了女儿的睡觉时间，故女儿看起来有点“焦急，着急”。

【小题11】句意是“如果你要下好棋，你就要下慢一些”。只有well符合句意。

【小题12】句意是“我们又继续下了另外10分钟”。

【小题13】nervously紧张地；immediately立刻；strangely奇怪地；suddenly突然。

【小题14】句意是“直到女儿放声大哭并且承认自己被打败”。只有admit符合句意。

【高考考点】动词词义辨析。

【小题15】make a mistake犯错；make a decision做决定；make an attempt企图，尽力；make an effort努力。从下文的So I had to change可知我犯了一个错。

【小题16】与第一段开始句子One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter相呼应。

【小题17】allow sb./sth. to do允许……做……。作者本打算借和女儿下棋搞好父女关系，结果却让求胜的私心占据了。

【小题18】important重要的；attractive引人注目得；practical实际的，实用的；interesting有趣的。求胜的私欲变得比良好的父女关系更重要。故只有important符合句意。

【小题19】offer提供；serve服务，对……有用；control控制；teach教。语意是“我小时候求胜心就很强”。

【小题20】“作为人父，我意识到这种求胜私欲挡住了父女关系的发展，我必须得改”，故realize符合题意。
