Immediately, he said, “Yes, last Christmas you promised us a special 42 that I really wanted but you 43 gave it to me.”
The 44 was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I 45 , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized 46 ?”
Again, his 47 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the 48 because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and 49 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he 50 all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were 51 to see the suitcase had been opened and 52 had been thrown all over the place, and then you 53 me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.

【小题1】句意是;事实上我忘了给孩子买玩具。challenge挑战message信息idea想法，都不符合句意。

【小题1】这里考查词组：apologize for为…道歉。
【小题1】上文是作者在提问：“Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized 46 ?”孩子肯定是回答了，填B。
【小题1】从下面的句子because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? 看出是去医院。选A。
【小题1】考查词组settled down定居went on继续set off出发got up起床，根据句意父母把孩子留在家里，匆忙出发。
【小题1】上面的描述是孩子对以前的事情的回忆，所以爸爸说不相信孩子能记得那么清楚。用D 。
【小题1】根据下文the suitcase had been opened and 52 had been thrown all over the place, 说明家里一团糟，爸爸很生气。选A
【小题1】还是上面的句子，家里所有的东西都被扔的到处都是。是everything。
【小题1】爸爸很生气，一定是punish孩子。praised表扬helped帮助 educated教育
【小题1】根据孩子的话“No, I didn’t. I was just searching for my gift.”说明爸爸错怪了孩子，感觉很糟。hopeless无望inspired受到激励的encouraged受到鼓励的。
【小题1】根据上文，爸爸觉得愧疚，I hugged Keith and asked him to 55 me.因此是请求孩子原谅“forgive”，support支持criticize批评suspect怀疑。
【小题1】爸爸问了另一个孩子同样的问题，选the same。C
【小题1】Kevin和Keith都是作者的儿子，那他们就是兄弟了。
【小题1】后面说I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised.说明是尽管圣诞节过去了，还是给孩子买了礼物。
【小题1】根据上下文，句意是，重要的不是礼物，而是自己不遵守诺言。故选C。
【小题1】这里表示作者总是轻易的许诺，但是又不遵守。其它选项都不符合。
