【2】my

【3】more

【4】surprised

【5】to spend

【6】where

【7】shapes

【8】because

【9】over

【10】was taken

【解析】本文讲述了作者带母亲出去吃饭的故事,和妈妈相处的时光让作者学会了放慢脚步。

【1】had lived

句意为：自从父亲20年前去世后,她一直独自生活 。结合语境可知,妈妈独自生活,故选live。在since引导的时间状语从句中,主句通常用现在完成时态,且主语为第三人称单数,故填has lived。

【2】my

句意为：在他去世后,我搬到了2500英里外的加利福尼亚州,在那里开始了我自己的家庭。own 在此意为“自己的”,词前通常用形容词性物主代词,故填I的形容词性物主代词形式my。

【3】more

句意为：当我在6年前搬回到家乡附近时,我决定花费 更多的时间和我的妈妈在一起。上文提到我在遥远的加利福尼亚州安家落户,很少回家,故此处意思是要花费更多时间和妈妈在一起,故填much的比较级形式more。

【4】surprised

句意为：当我给妈妈打电话,建议两人出去吃晚餐时,她很惊讶 。结合下文的“‘What’s wrong? She asked.”可知,她为此感到很惊讶,故选surprise；由空格前的系动词was可知空格处填形容词作表语,又知该句主语为人,故填surprised。

【5】to spend

句意为：我说：“我只是想花费时间和你在一起。”上文提到作者要和妈妈一起吃晚饭,可知她要花费一些时间与妈妈在一起,故选用spend；分析句子结构此处缺不定式做want的宾语,故填to spend。

【6】where

句意为：我们去了街区，在那里我们可以交谈。分析句子结构及备选词汇可知,此处指我和妈妈去了街区,在那里我们可以交谈。此处缺连接词,由选项可知此处应填入地点副词where。

【7】shapes

句意为：因为她的眼睛仅能看到大的物体形状 ,我不得不为她读菜单。由句意可知,此处选shape；结合语境可知,此处泛指所有比较大形状的物体,应用复数形式shapes。

【8】because

句意为：我过去常常读菜单, 因为你太小了以至于不能点餐。根据语境可知此处前后句意有明显的因果关系,且两个分句之间缺少连词,故填because。

【9】over

句意为：晚饭期间，我们交谈得很愉快。根据语境可知此处指在晚饭期间,我跟妈妈交谈得很愉快,分析句子结构此处应填入介词,over dinner在晚饭期间,故填over。

【10】was taken

句意为：我被妈妈带到一些小时候经常和朋友一起玩耍的地方。由句意可知,我被妈妈带到了这些勾起童年回忆的地方,故用一般过去时的被动语态,填was taken。
