【解析】

短文主要介绍了作者父母之间的感情故事。作者一直想知道父母之间有没有爱情，在一次谈话中母亲用做棉被的线来比喻他们之间的感情，但是作者还是不太懂。直到有一天，父亲生病了，作者才明白了母亲说的那番话的含义。

【1】句意：我静静地坐在她旁边，看着她。

suddenly突然；patiently耐心地；quietly静静地。根据句中“and looked at her”可知，此处是“我静静地坐在她旁边并看着她”，所以此处使用副词quietly修饰动词短语sat down。故选C。

【2】句意：我母亲停下来并抬起头，眼睛里充满了惊讶。

surprise惊讶；excitement激动；joy快乐。根据下文中“If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.”可知，如果生活是一个被子，那么爱应该是一根线，很难在任何时间任何地点看到它，但它确实存在，所以当作者问到自己的妈妈和自己的爸爸之间有没有爱时，作者妈妈的眼里充满了惊讶，所以此处使用名词surprise。故选A。

【3】句意：有时候线会出现，但大部分线都消失在被子里。

hides隐藏；loses失去，丢失；appears出现。根据句中“but most of it disappears in the quilt”可知，前后两个分句意思转折，即：有时候线会出现，但是大部分会消失在被子里，所以此处使用动词appears。故选C。

【4】句意：线真的让被子坚固耐用。

beautiful漂亮的；strong强壮的，坚固的；comfortable舒服的。根据句中“and lasting”可知，and是并列连词，所以此处是“线让被子坚固耐用”，所以此处使用形容词strong。故选B。

【5】句意：如果生活是一个被子，那么爱应该是一根线。

money钱；love爱；time时间。根据下文中“I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.”可知，爱就是我们生活中被子里的一根线，所以此处是“如果生活是一个被子，那么爱应该是一根线”，所以此处使用名词love。故选B。

【6】句意：直到第二年春天我爸爸突然生了严重的病，我才理解她的意思。

hear听到；remember记得；understand理解。根据下文中“I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life”可知，作者理解了爱就是我们生活中被子里的一根线，所以此处是“直到爸爸生病，我才理解妈妈的意思”，所以此处使用动词understand。故选C。

【7】句意：我爸爸从来没有这么温柔过。

proud骄傲的，自豪的；romantic浪漫的；gentle温和的，文雅的。根据下文中“He said gently.”可知，作者的爸爸温和地与作者讲话，结合作者的爸爸刚出院，所以此处是“爸爸从没有这么温和过”，所以此处使用形容词gentle。故选C。

【8】句意：阳光透过树叶温柔地照射进来，形成了世界上最美丽的图画。

couple夫妇；life生活；picture图片。根据上文中“Every day in the morning after they returned from the hospital, mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.”可知，他们从医院回来后，每天早上，妈妈都会扶着爸爸在乡间小路上慢慢地走，所以此处是“阳光透过树叶温柔地照射进来，将爸爸妈妈一起散步的情景形成了世界上最美丽的图画”，所以此处使用名词picture。故选C。

【9】句意：从他的眼神里，我知道他深深地爱着我的妈妈。

wisely明智地；carefully小心地；deeply深深地。根据上文中“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.”可知，作者的爸爸喜欢和作者的妈妈一起散步，并且喜欢这种生活，由此可知作者的爸爸是深深地爱着作者妈妈的，所以此处用副词deeply修饰动词love。故选C。

【10】句意：爱在里面，让生命变得坚强和温暖。

outside在外面；inside在里面；above在上面。根据上文中“I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.”可知，爱就是我们生活中被子里的一根线，所以爱是在里面，所以此处使用inside。故选B。
