　　 Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But 1 was 　1　 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, 　　2　 , with the second-hand green typewriter on tile table. She told me that she couldn't type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment (尴尬)at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how　 　3　 　understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very　 4 　to understand.

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radiostation　 　18 　. "It's a job 1 can do, though. "She said simply. But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued.　 1 had a very 　19　 　feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her　 20　 away across the paper.

19. A. forgotten　 B. called　　　 C. missed　　　 D. seen

答案：D　 指导：作者从那以后再也没有“见到”过他。forgotten"忘记”，如果选择此项，意味着作者在加油站遇到他之前把他忘记了，显然错误；called"打电话”，作者以前也没有给他打过电话；missed"想念”，作者对他一直念念不忘。

18. A. humour　　　　　　　　　　 B. encouragement

C. touth　　　　　　　　　　　 D. treatment

答案：C　 指导：根据第二段第一句“I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him．．．”可知是作者的“抚摸”，因为my voice与talking to him对应，touch与holding hishand对应。

　 humour"幽默”，作者当时在照顾一位昏迷不醒的病人，不可能给他说幽默的话；encouragement“鼓励”，文中没有信息支持；treatment"治疗”，作者只是护士助手，没有给病人治疗。

17. A. hardly　　 B. immediately　 C. firmly　　　 D. wrongly

答案：C　 指导：firml／‘坚定地”，Mr．Gillespie认为正是由于作者的帮助，他的病情才得以好转。hardly"几乎不”，无法表达出病人对作者的感激之情；immediately"立即”，不合情理；wrongly"错误地”，有悖于病人的初衷。

16. A. notice　　 B. feel　　　　 C. imagine　　 D. appreciate

答案：B　 指导：Mr．Gillespie在昏迷中“感觉到”有人在一直握着他的手。A、C、D三项分别表示“注意到…‘想像”“感激”，结合他的病情可知这三项不正确。

15. A. because　　 B. if　　　　　 C. unless　　　 D. as

答案：D　 指导：当他昏迷不醒的时候。

　 前三项分别表示“因为”“如果”“除非”，逻辑关系不合理。

14. A. dreamed　　 B. shown　　 　　C. wanted　　　 D. received

答案：D　 指导：作者“接受”了对方的拥抱。

A、C两项表明作者渴望对方给予热情的拥抱，显然不恰当；shown"展现”，是对方拥抱作者，而不是作者主动拥抱对方。

13. A. apologized　　　　　　　　 B. remembered

C. explained　　　　　　　　　 D. admitted

答案：C　 指导：作者从对方的表情看出他没有认出自己，所以要“解释”原因。apologized"道歉”，作者没有做错任何事情，不必道歉；remembered"记得”，与所给语境不符；admitted"承认”，言外之意是作者做了不应该做的事情，显然不正确。
