reply   just   make   neighbor   ring   full   invite   on    sad   wait

Until last year，the saddest thing of my life was that my wife Alice and I couldn't have any children．So we always   76invited   all the children in our street to our house for Christmas breakfast．
Last year，Alice died．I was very   77sad   and decided not to invite the children for Christmas breakfast．But Kathy and Pete，my next door   78neighbors，asked me to join them for dinner    79on   Christmas Eve．
As soon as I arrived and took off my coat，Kathy asked me，"Do you have any milk at your house？"
"Yes，"I   80replied．"If you need some，I'll go and get it right away．"
"Oh，that's all right．Come and sit down．The kids have been   81waiting   for you．Just give Peter your keys and let him do it．"
After a happy dinner with them，I went home．When I opened my door，I found my house had been decorated by Peter!It was   82just   as beautiful as each Christmas before．At that moment，I wished that I could still serve the Christmas breakfast，but I had   83made  no preparations （准备）．
    Early the next morning，a little boy with a bag of candies   84rang   my bell．Before I could ask him what was happening，he was joining by two of his friends．Within fifteen minuets，my house was   85full   of children，and I had all the food I needed for the usual Christmas breakfast．I had a happy breakfast with the children again．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇记叙文．作者讲述了自己亲身经历的一件感人的事情．作者和妻子爱丽丝没有孩子，每年都邀请本街上的孩子到家里吃圣诞早餐．妻子死后作者很伤感，所以作者不打算再招待孩子们．但是作者没有想到的是，邻居帮助他布置了房间，早晨孩子们带来了所有他需要的东西，这使得作者和孩子们享受了一个愉快的圣诞节早餐．这个故事告诉我们：处处有真情，处处充满爱．

解答 76．invited．考查动词的用法及语境理解．根据上文 my wife Alice and I couldn't have any children，可知他们没有孩子，所以邀请本街上的孩子到家里吃圣诞早餐，invite，动词，邀请，故填invited．
77．sad．考查形容词的用法及语境理解．Last year，Alice died，可知此处表示"我很难过．"sad，形容词，难过的．故填sad．
78．neighbors．根据前面"my next door"可知Kathy and Peter是作者最近的两个邻居．故填neighbors．
79．on．考查介词的用法及语境理解．根据asked me to join them for dinner--Christmas Eve．可知句子考查了短语on Christmas Eve．在具体的某天的某个时候一般用介词on．
80．replied．考查动词的用法及语境理解．根据上文Kathy asked me，"Do you have any milk at your house？"，可知这里是Kathy询问我问题，所以下边应该是我的回答，所以用reply，时态描述的是过去发生的事情，时态应该是一般过去时．故填replied．
81．waiting．考查动词的用法及语境理解．根据The kids have been--for you．可知这里考查了短语wait for等候，这里表示孩子们已经在等着了，所以时态应该用现在完成进行时，这里用wait的现在分词形式．故填waiting．
82．just．考查考查副词的用法及语境理解．根据It was--as beautiful as each Christmas before．这和以前的每一个圣诞节一样漂亮，这里用just．故填just．
83．made．考查动词的用法及语境理解．根据At that moment，I wished that I could still serve the Christmas breakfast，but I had--no preparations （准备）．可知但愿我仍然能提供圣诞早餐但是我没有准备，make preparations做准备，这里前面有had是过去完成时，所以后面用过去分词made．故填made．
84．rang．考查动词的用法及语境理解．根据a little boy with a bag of candies--my bell．可知一个拿着一袋糖果的男孩按响了我家的门铃，按门铃用ring the bell．故填rang．
85．full．考查形容词的用法及语境理解．根据my house was--of children，and I had all the food I needed for the usual Christmas breakfast，可知孩子挤满了我的屋子，我又和孩子们开心的吃了一次早餐．此处考查词组be full of．故填full．
