After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman who my wife wanted me to visit was my mother. She lived alone and she was s 【1】 for 19 years. I visited h 【2】 only occasionally.

That Friday after work, w 【3】 I arrived at her house, my mother waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled(使卷曲) her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to c 【4】 her last wedding anniversary.

My mother took my arm and we went to a nice and comfortable restaurant. During the dinner, we had a pleasant conversation, exchanging the l 【5】information of each other’s life. We talked so much t 【6】 we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.”I agreed. A few days later, my mother passed away p 【7】 in her sleep. It happened so suddenly.

Some time later, I received a letter and in it there was a copy of a restaurant receipt(发票) from the s 【8】 place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said：“I paid this bill（账单） ahead of time. I wasn’t sure i 【9】 I could be there； however, I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night m 【10】 for me. I loveyou, son.”

【解析】

试题分析：作者在这篇短文中讲述了自己和母亲一次吃饭的经历，通过这件事告诉读者生命中没有什么比你的家庭更重要。多花些时间陪陪你的家人，因为这些事情不能被推迟到“改天”。

【1】single 从上文She lived alone可以看出他的妈妈目前单身，故填single。

【2】her 从上文我们知道，我偶然去看她。故填her。

【3】when 意为：那个星期五下班后，当我到她家时，妈妈已经穿好外套在门上等着了。

【4】celebrate 从 her last wedding anniversary看应该是庆祝最后一个结婚纪念日的衣服，所以填celebrate。

【5】latest 意为：我们的谈话很愉快，我们彼此交换了自己最新的生活情况。Latest意为：最新的，最近的。

【6】that 句意：我们谈了那么多以至于错过了电影。so…that …句型，意为：如此……以至于……

【7】peacefully 句意：几天后，妈妈在睡梦中平静地过世了。在睡梦中过世，可以推测是peacefully。

【8】same 句意：过了一段时间，我收到一封信，在信里还有一张我和妈妈吃饭的那个饭店的发票。很显然是统一个饭店，故填same。

【9】if 句意：我不知道是否我还能去那里。宾语从句的一般疑问句式用if.

【10】meant 句意：你绝对想不到那晚对我意味着什么。由句意可知用mean。
