Question

F

     Last year,around Labor Day,I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper. There was a lady in a local nursing home,who was 1 her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to 2 it. It said that if you wanted to write to her,here was her 3 . So I did. I found

a birthday card and wrote a short note,wishing her a happy birthday.

     A week or so later,someone 4 my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man 5 on my doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of this woman to 6 I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending 7 nice card to his mom. Apparently,like many older folks,she did not receive much mail and was quite 8 to receive mine. I just didn't know 9 to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I 10 his mom had enjoyed her birthday.

     That year,I did not send out any Christmas cards except to this 11 old lady in the nursing home. I just 12 her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday 13 and also a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her,to get some mail.

     She 14   a couple of months ago. I never met this lady,but I did 15  her and her family in my thoughts. I dropped them a line of sympathy. I hoped that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on Earth.

1. B hold意为“坚持”;celebrate意为“庆祝”;have意为“拥有”;join 意为“加入”。此处表示“庆祝她的90岁生日”，故正确答案选 3项_。

2. A know about 意为“了解，知道”；care about 意为“关心” ;think about意为“考虑”;worry about意为“担心”。由句意“她的家人想 让每个人都知道这件事”可知答案为A项。

3. A address意为“地址”；phone意为“电话”；house意为“房子”； name意为“名字”。句意为“上面说如果你想给她写信，这是她的 地址”，故选A项。

4. C look at意为“看”;shout at意为“对......大喊”；knock at意为“敲”;point at意为“指向”。根据句意“大约一周后，有人敲了我的 前门”可知答案为C项。

5. D句意为“我打开门发现一个中年人正站在台阶上”。find sb. doing sth.的意思是“发现某人在做某事”，故选D项。

6. B句意为“他自我介绍说他是我送给卡片的这位女士的儿子”。this woman是定语从句的先行词，to是介词，只能使用whom来 作定语从句的宾语。因此，答案选择B项。

7. C此处表示“一张如此漂亮的卡片”，使用such a nice card或者 so nice a card ,故选 C项。

8. A excited 意为“兴奋的”;disappointed 意为“失望的”;relaxed 意 为“放松的'bored意为“无聊的”。由句意“她收到了我的卡片， 感到相当兴奋”可知答案为A项。

9. D句意为“我不知道该说什么”。what作动词say的宾语，符合 逻辑，故选D项。

10. C know意为“知道”;want意为“想要”;hope意为“希望”;need 意为“需要”。根据句意“我希望他妈妈生日快乐”可知答案为 C项。
