【解析】

Peter对妈妈的问题不耐烦，对着妈妈大喊大叫。他的妈妈拿出了一个日记本，记录着Peter小的时候也总是一遍又一遍问妈妈同一个问题，而妈妈总是耐心地回答，Peter看到之后感到很抱歉。

【1】句意：Peter很不开心，但是他告诉她那是一只蝴蝶，然后又继续读书。lucky幸运的；friendly友好的；afraid 害怕的；unhappy不开心的。根据文意可知，Peter正在读书，这时他的妈妈过来问他问题；而且下文Peter got a little angry提到，当妈妈再次问这个问题的时候，Peter有点生气了。由此我们可以推测这时Peter感到不开心，他觉得妈妈打断了他的阅读，故应选D。

【2】句意：Peter有点生气，但是仍然回答了她的问题。also也；still仍然；often经常；yet还；然而；已经。根据句意可知，Peter虽然有点生气，但是仍然回答了妈妈的问题，故应选B。

【3】句意：这次Peter无法忍受了。show展示；stand忍受；站立；read 阅读；follow跟随。根据文意A few minutes later, his mother pointed to the same butterfly and asked the same question again. ……After some minutes, his mother did the same thing again.可知，他的妈妈一遍又一遍地问这个问题，Peter受不了了，故应选B。

【4】句意：他对着她大喊，因为她总是一遍又一遍地问同一个问题。showing展示；hearing听；asking问；answering回答。根据上文A few minutes later, his mother pointed to the same butterfly and asked the same question again…. After some minutes, his mother did the same thing again.可知，他的妈妈一遍又一遍地问同一个问题，故应选C。

【5】句意： 然后她拿着一个旧的日记本回来了，翻到其中的一页，拿给Peter看。for 为了；因为；as作为；with和…一起；带有；over超过；越过。根据句意可知，Peter的妈妈带着一个日记本回来了，故应选C。

【6】句意：今天我正在花园里浇花，这时小Peter指着花朵上的一只蝴蝶问我这是什么。butterfly蝴蝶；snake蛇；flower花；plant植物。根据下文…and said it was a butterfly可知，这里Peter问的东西是蝴蝶，故应选A。

【7】句意：我对他笑了笑，说这是一只蝴蝶，然后亲吻了他。shouted 大喊；laughed大笑；smiled微笑；looked看。根据句意…kissed him可知，Peter的妈妈对他很有耐心，很爱他，所以不是A；laugh at是嘲笑，所以也不对；剩下的两个选项中用smile体现出了妈妈对孩子的喜爱之情，故应选C。

【8】句意：小Peter问了我20次它是什么，我回答了20次，并且每次都亲吻了他。five 五；ten十；fifteen十五；twenty二十。根据本句中Little Peter asked me what it was twenty times可知，Peter问了20次，所以他的妈妈回答了20次。故选D。

【9】句意：他的脸变红了，因为他对着妈妈大喊大叫他感到很抱歉。face 脸；mouth嘴；head头；hand手。根据句意because he felt so sorry for shouting at his mother.可知，Peter很抱歉，所以他的脸红了，故应选A。

这篇短文是记叙文，讲述了Peter通过看妈妈记的日记知道了妈妈对他的爱和耐心。文章内容贴近学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是完型填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读短文，掌握大意；然后做题，注意上下文的语境提示，并辨析四个选项的意思和用法；最后应再读一遍短文，检查答案。例如第4小题，考查动词辨析，根据上文A few minutes later, his mother pointed to the same butterfly and asked the same question again…. After some minutes, his mother did the same thing again.可知，他的妈妈老是问Peter同一个问题，Peter最后生气了，故应选C。再如第8小题，根据本句中Little Peter asked me what it was twenty times可知，Peter问了20次，所以他的妈妈应该是回答了20次。故选D。
