【解析】

试题分析：作者以倒叙的形式讲述了发生在他身上的故事。而作者年老多病的父亲却交给了他这样一个道理：他放弃了一切却一无所获，得到的只是家人的爱—不要斤斤计较，要以爱心来对待一切，面对生活，使自己的内心平和。

1.B考查副词afterwards意为“其后，后来，继后，然后，以后”。therefore意为“因此，为此，所以”。meanwhile意为“同时”however意为“然而”，表示转折或对比，多位于句中，前后须加逗号，可位于句首或句末，用于句首，后面可加逗号，所引导的分句用于句末，前面可加逗号。根据两句中的learned how to accept life as it is和did not teach me acceptance可判断出这两句是转折和对比关系。

2.2】C考查形容词weak意为“柔弱的；虚弱的，有病的”，与ill属同类概念。tired意为“疲劳的”。poor意为“贫穷的”。slow意为“慢的”。都属于健康的范畴，根据全句的逻辑意思和下文的提示（he can no longer walk），选择一个与ill并列意义的词。

3.3】D考查副词once意为“曾经”，常与一般过去时连用，表示过去曾经发生的事。根据下文中的a terrible illness可判断出作者的父亲过去曾经是一个强壮的人。already意为“已经”，常与现在进行时连用，表示已经完成的动作。still意为“仍然是”，与下文所讲的作者的父亲得力重病矛盾。only意为“仅仅”

4.4】A考查动词。take away使（感情，感觉等）消失，带走；throw away丢弃某物（因不用或不需要）；send away把…送往另一地方；put away收好

5.5】B考查形容词。Impossible过于绝对，只失去说话能力；hopeful没有指望的，绝望的；stressful产生压力的 由上文爸爸体弱多病和下文他说的话，得知爸爸甚至讲话都困难，故选B项。

6.6】C考查动词。开始交谈，谈论生活，不是笼统地讲担心谁的生活（worry about）,关心谁的生活（care about）,询问谁的生活（ask about），故选C项。

7.7】D考查名词。我跟他们讲了我的一个信条（我个人相信的事）(belief).由下文可知不是我的一个什么经验(experience);抱负（ambition）或某个决定（decision），故选D项。

8.8】A考查连词。as引导时间状语从句，意为“随着”，从句中的谓语动词常是表示发展的动词如develop，grow up，go等。这里表示随着我们的成长。since引导时间状语从句常与现在进行时连用。before引导时间状语从句表示“在……之前”。till引导时间状语从句表示“一直……”，.随着（as)我们长大，我们常常放弃一些东西

9.9】A考查动词。suggest意为“暗示，表明”。promise意为“承诺，许诺”。require意为“需要”，总的看起来是这样的，因为是一个人的看法及一般情况，语气不是特肯定，又不是某个人的建议或要求，故其他三个选项不可取

10.0】C考查动词。speak up（爸爸）突然大声说，说到；turn up拧大，开大；出现；sun up归纳，总结；判断，估量（此前，爸爸并没说话，故不能选）；open up开拓，开辟；开始畅谈，倾吐心事（不是一两句话，更不能突然开始），故选C项。

11.1】B考查代词。根据上下文及作者爸爸当时的状况，所谓“美好的事”一无所有了；从外表看只是一个体弱多病，非常难过的老年。故give up everything，故选B项。

12.2】A考查副词。爸爸提出一个问题，我以为让我来回答，我正在冥思苦想的时候，他却自己给出了答案，这出乎我的意料，故选A项。

13.3】B考查动词辨析 have意为“有”。accept意为“接受”。enjoy意为“享受……的乐趣”gain意为“获得”，指经过付出巨大努力之后为自己获得或赢得有一定价值的东西，强调所得之物能够造成的优势。由于父亲得病，受到了家庭的照顾，所以他说得到了家庭的爱，故选B项。

14.4】A考查动词。A. moved移动；B. amazed吃惊；C. attracted吸引；D. warned警告。回答针对上面爸爸提出的那个问题：What did I gain?，故选A项。

15.5】C考查情态动词should表示“应该”。could表示可能性。might表示可能性，但可能性很小would表示过去某段时间的习惯，即每当恼怒时，作者总是想起父亲的话。

16.6】C考查形容词。一想到爸爸的话，我的内心就平静下来，控制情绪；而不是保持安静(quiet)，放松（relaxed）或高兴(happy)，故选C项。

17.7】B考查形容词。一想到爸爸既然能够用对别人的爱来代替他巨大的疼痛或痛苦这件事，我就必然能够（be able to do）放弃自己的不值一提的易怒情绪，故选B项。

18.8】D考查动词。这样(in this way),我就从爸爸身上学会了宽容的力量（power of acceptable）。Method指解决某个具体问题的科学的，符合逻辑的方法，通常搭配是with this/that …method.，故选D项。

19.9】B考查动词。现在我想知道，如果我从小的时候起，就认真地听我爸爸的，我还会学到其他什么东西呢？要注意该句用的是虚拟语气，故选B项。

20.20】D考查动词。即便如此，我也不是特别的遗憾，我很感谢我爸爸送给我的这个礼物，这篇短文讲述了作者的父亲因为生病而失去了活动甚至于说话的能力，但是他仍然认为自己获得了家庭的爱，表现了对生活的正确态度，所以作者把父亲所说的I gained the love of my family.作为父亲送给自己的礼物
